I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With-Chapter 773 So What If He Is a Demon

Chapter 773: Chapter 773 So What If He Is a Demon
What?!
Ning Xixi’s first reaction was: She had heard wrong!
She simply couldn’t believe her own ears!
"Do you not believe me?" As if understanding the doubt in Ning Xixi’s eyes, Su Wanxia looked hurt.
Ning Xixi struggled to swallow, "Are you, are you serious?"
"Yes."
Ning Xixi fell silent.
She didn’t know how to respond to Su Wanxia.
After thinking it over, she tactfully said, "This joke isn’t funny at all. Umm... I should get going, Dabai is waiting for me."
Her intention was clear, to give Su Wanxia an out, to treat this absurd confession as a joke and, furthermore, by bringing up Ji Yebai, to make it clear to Su Wanxia that she had a boyfriend.
But Su Wanxia didn’t see it that way. She only felt that Ning Xixi didn’t believe her.
With a grip on Ning Xixi’s shoulders, "You can’t leave!"
Ning Xixi tried to pull her arms away but couldn’t break free from Su Wanxia’s hold, helplessly turning her head, "What exactly do you want?"
Su Wanxia’s eyes were red with earnestness, "I’m not joking! Ning Xixi!"
"..."
"From the moment I first understood my sexual orientation, I knew the person I liked was you! That’s why I kept hovering around you since we were young. Everyone thought I liked Ji Yebai, even pairing the two of us together. No, I’m utterly repulsed by being paired with him! Because I like you, I want to be with you!"
Her hoarse and forceful explanation made Ning Xixi feel an inexplicable sadness.
"What is that look on your face? Do you find it perverted? Or disgusting? Does... my liking you... disgust you?" Su Wanxia stared blankly at her, her eyes welling with tears, the usual radiance and sharpness gone. At this moment, she seemed vulnerably fragile.
Ning Xixi said softly, "Su Wanxia, thank you for your feelings. Really, I’m very grateful. Being liked by someone as outstanding as you is something I can be proud of. I don’t oppose your sexual orientation.
There are so many things in this world that we cannot choose; what we can choose is to like someone, right? Whether you like men or women, that’s your freedom, not your restraint.
But... I’m sorry, I cannot give you any response. I have someone I like, you know it, it’s Ji Yebai. I want to properly love him, to accompany him through life, do you understand what I mean?"
She had tried her best to choose a way to express herself without hurting Su Wanxia.
Su Wanxia let out a bitter laugh. In the night sky, her sorrowful laughter swirled and echoed. She laughed very loudly until her laughter broke and tears began streaming unremittingly.
Ning Xixi awkwardly handed a tissue to her, but it was pushed away vehemently.
"Why? I like you, but you don’t like me?"
...This logic, sheesh.
"Feelings are never fair to begin with, sorry." Ning Xixi inhaled deeply, "I need to go back now."
Before she could step away, Su Wanxia suddenly spoke, "Don’t you want to know what Ji Yebai has done in the past? He’s a true Demon... Once you know, you’ll definitely flee from his side!"
In the blind spot of Ning Xixi’s view, Su Wanxia saw a tall figure.
She recognized it was Ji Yebai.
"So what if he is a Demon, I’m no angel either." Ning Xixi curved her cherry lips, "If he is in Hell, I’m willing to descend with him. Su Wanxia, maybe that’s the biggest difference between you and me."
