Chapter 194: Just Friends?

Xia Wei suddenly stopped mid-sentence. Jian Tan looked at her in amusement, his eyes filled with indulgence and playfulness.

“Although your way of praising others sounds like you’re scolding me, I still gladly accept your praise. Thank you.” Jian Tan raised his eyebrows slightly and continued.

Xia Wei looked at Jian Tan helplessly. She sighed and complained, “Why didn’t I realize that you were so thick-skinned in the past? Are you someone else pretending to be Jian Tan? Where’s your cold temperament and nobleness?”

Jian Tan smiled in surprise when she heard that. Then, she pretended to be strange and said, “I thought that the two of us were already the most important people in each other’s lives after experiencing two life-and-death situations, but I didn’t expect you to know me so well! Think about it carefully now. When have 1 ever been cold and distant to you? I’ve always been amiable, okay? I’m very easy to talk to.”

Instinctively, Xia Wei looked at Jian Tan and smiled. She suddenly fell silent.

She really couldn’t find any concrete “evidence” to retort!

That was because what Jian Tan said was indeed the truth. This man seemed to have never been cold to her. He had always smiled gently or looked at her gently.

As for the “amiable” him that Jian Tan mentioned, Xia Wei doubted and disagreed with him. This was because Xia Wei had also seen Jian Tan scold others and look angry. However, those were not directed at her!

Jian Tan asked her to recall, and she really recalled it honestly. If she didn’t think about the past carefully, she really wouldn’t know that Jian Tan seemed to have been by her side for every major incident that happened to her during the period when she transmigrated here. Moreover, he was steadfastly on her side.

Unknowingly, Xia Wei had already thought a lot. Wasn’t her fate with Jian Tan a little too strong? Was Jian Tan really just treating her as a friend?

Would a friend who had only known her for less than two months really choose to stand by her side without hesitation every time without caring about his own safety?

Would a person who was already high up in the air and had a transcendent status in this world treat you, who was still “notorious” at that time, specially the second time they met?

Would a young master who didn’t seem to know how to take care of others be so considerate, gentle, and considerate to a new “friend” he had only known for less than two months?

Jian Tan had never been so kind and considerate to anyone else. He was only special to you. Was this really just because you were his “friend”?

Xia Wei looked into Jian Tan’s eyes quietly and asked herself this in her heart. However, as those memories from the past came out, Xia Wei seemed to be unable to maintain the status of a “friend” to Jian Tan.

She first put quotation marks on it, then slowly drew a small question mark. She felt that she did not understand Jian Tan very well, nor did she understand herself!

“What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?” Jian Tan asked softly when he saw Xia Wei looking at him in a daze for a long time.

He glanced at the soup bowl in front of Xia Wei and casually took it over. He muttered that he could get another bowl for Xia Wei. His eyes were as gentle as water, and he did not look like he had just tease Xia Wei at all!

Xia Wei looked at Jian Tan as if she could not help it. She asked Jian Tan in a low voice, “Why are you so good to me? Why did you come over to deliver soup to me like a secret agent! Have you sent soup to every sick friend of yours?”

The girl’s gentle question landed on Jian Tan’s mind. His actions paused for a moment before he slowly continued.

Looking at the soup bowl that was placed back in front of her, the stubbornness in Xia Wei’s eyes that wanted an answer suddenly became slightly clearer!

She suddenly felt that her question above was meaningless.

Because even if Jian Tan really said that he liked her, she did not seem to be able to give Jian Tan anything. She did not belong to this world to begin with. She did not know if she could go back to her original place.. She did not know how long she could stay in this world after changing the direction of the original story…
