SWNOVELS Chapter 430 Why Is Your Face So Red
"Mr. Li, why are you here?"
Although the history professor wanted to ask more, Nelson Li didn't answer his question but instead asked, "Sir, may I go in?"
"Yes, of course."
The professor understood that Nelson might not want to have his identity exposed. After all, most of the students there didn't know about his important status in this campus.
After getting the professor's approval, Nelson immediately scanned around the classroom, and then he finally rested his eyes on Lily Jiang. Lily was also looking at him.
Lily was sitting on one of the seats in the second row from the back of the classroom. Nelson slowly went toward her, his eyes solely on her. But at that moment, he noticed a male student sitting next to Lily. Nelson asked the male student, "Excuse me? Can you please move to another seat?"
"Who are you? Why should I change my seat?"
The male student's face instantly darkened. He had managed with all his efforts to sit next to a beautiful girl, but someone dared ask him to move to another seat. How could he give up the best seat in the classroom where he had a clear view of a beautiful girl sitting right next to him? 'Who on earth is this man? How dare he ask me to move away! The professor is still giving his lecture!' thought the male student angrily.
"I am sorry. Please give your seat to me. I have something to talk with her," Nelson said politely as he pointed at Lily. He indeed had something to tell Lily. Linda had instructed him to ask Lily's opinion on whether she was willing to stay in the Mu clan's villa during her summer vacation to keep Linda company.
"What do you want to tell her? Okay, I know. You just want to confess your love to her, right? Please queue up. There are a lot of men in front of you, waiting for their turns to confess to Lily. Who do you think you are? Do you think that Lily would like you? You don't look like a student of this school. Get out now, and give up on pursuing Lily!"
The male student poured out a flow of words in a scornful way, which irritated Nelson. What did he mean by saying those?
Nelson was about to retort, but Lily said in an imposing manner, "Sam Zhao, could you please move to another seat? This is my boyfriend."
The male student called Sam Zhao was shocked by her words. 'What? Lily Jiang has a boyfriend? I have been pestering her for more than two months but failed to make her my girlfriend!' thought Sam with disappointment.
"Why should I move? This is my seat. Why do I have to give it to your boyfriend?"
Sam got angry.
After all, he regarded himself as one of the powerful playboys in the school. He was always able to get any woman he wanted.
"Fine, then I'll go," Lily said impatiently. She stood up from her seat, grabbed her books on the desk, walked away, and pulled Nelson to sit with her in the last row.
The other people in the classroom were curiously looking at the farce, but nobody dared to utter a single word. The professor also didn't want to intervene in their business. When he saw the classroom turn quiet again, the professor went on with his lecture. Nelson and Lily just minded their own business in the last row of the room.
Obviously, Lily was wearing an angry face. Nelson didn't know how to start a conversation with her, so he had to sit quietly there. They both remained silent.
Ten minutes later, Lily finally couldn't bear it and turned her head to look at Nelson, asking, "Why are you here?"
"Well... Lady Linda asked me to come. She wanted to know if you were willing to stay in her mansion during your summer vacation, to keep her company," said Nelson.
"So that's why you are here today?" Lily's face got even darker.
"Yes."
"Are you sure that you have nothing else to tell me?" Lily continued to ask.
In fact, Nelson was desperately eager to meet Lily himself. But he was a very conservative man, and he felt so embarrassed to speak out his true feelings toward Lily. He turned his head to look at Lily. He saw the furious look on her face. "What's up?" Nelson asked with confusion. He didn't understand how he had irritated Lily.
"Haven't you missed me? Why haven't you contacted me at all? If Linda didn't ask you to come here, would you plan not to come and see me for the rest of your life?"
Lily spat out all of her grievances.
Nelson got tensed up and stammered, "No, no... I just..."
"Just what?"
"I just felt embarrassed to come to see you. I was afraid of bothering you," Nelson explained.
Lily was almost driven mad by this stupid man. But not knowing why, she actually felt a little happy when Nelson showed up.
"Embarrassed? Didn't you say that you would take care of me for my entire life? Have you already forgotten all of your words? If you feel embarrassed to come to see me, how are you going to take care of me forever?"
"But... the last time, when I said that I would take care of you forever, you didn't give me a response," Nelson answered as he scratched his head in confusion.
"Just because I didn't reply to you, it didn't mean that you couldn't ask me again! Or even kiss me again! I am a girl, and I am shy, okay? Can't you understand my feelings?"
Lily felt even more helpless. Nelson was such a fool in the matter of love. He wasn't able to understand the slightest bit of feelings of a girl.
Having heard Lily's words, Nelson indeed repeated it foolishly, "Then... are you willing to let me take care of you for the rest of your life?" "Huh! I don't want to," said Lily.
She then raised her hand to gesture to the professor and asked, "Professor, I am sorry. I am not feeling well. Could I take a leave and go early?"
The history professor nodded.
He realized that there might be a special relationship between Nelson and Lily, and they might be dealing with some emotional problems. As an outsider, the professor thought he'd better not intervene. Lily left the classroom, with her cheeks bulged with anger. Nelson quickly ran after her.
Nelson felt really confused by women's complicated thoughts. He thought to himself, 'Didn't she ask me to repeat my words? I did it, but why did she say no again? What did she mean? What are the right words to tell her?'
Nelson shook his head helplessly and followed Lily. He kept following her anywhere she went for about one hour until Lily cooled down.
Nelson asked, "So what's your answer to Lady Linda's question? Are you willing to go stay with her? If yes, I am driving you there now." "Okay, fine," said Lily.
Lily hadn't seen Linda for about half a month. She had also missed her.
Nelson then drove Lily to the Mu clan's villa, where Linda was staying now. As soon as she saw Linda, Lily stretched out her arms and gave Linda a warm hug.
"Linda, long time no see. Have you missed me?" said Lily playfully.
"Haha... Lily, be gentle. I am pregnant now. Don't hug me so tight. What if you have frightened my baby?" Linda teased. She was also excited to see Lily.
"Oh, right. I forgot. Your belly has really become bigger in the past two weeks." Lily bent down and held on to Linda's waist with one of her arms, resting her face on Linda's belly, and then she gently touched her belly with her another hand.
Lily said, "Dear baby, don't be afraid. I am your Auntie Lily. We will meet each other in a few months."
Linda was amused by Lily's funny look. She tenderly patted her head and teased, "My baby is coming out soon. Where's yours? When are you going to have a baby with Nelson?"
Instantly, Lily's face flushed bright red. At that moment, Nelson was just coming in. He had to park the car so he miss the conversation between Lily and Linda. When he came in and saw Lily's red face, he felt curious and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Lily, are you sick? Why is your face so red?"
