The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1419 - 1418: I Just Don't Like You

Try your luck?Walking to the first Room Number Two, Zhang Kexin knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.

Could Tang Rao be asleep?

She knocked a couple more times, and this time there was movement from inside. The door of Room Number Two opened, and a big burly man with a beard stepped out, almost drooling at the sight of the little girl who had come to his door.

"Little girl, are you looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Do you want uncle to keep you company?"

His words were full of teasing towards Zhang Kexin.

"Sorry, sorry, I got the wrong person."

Zhang Kexin didn't dare to look at Big Beard, hurriedly fleeing.

The inn, after all, wasn't like other places. Big Beard just felt it was a pity he couldn't capture the little white rabbit.

"Tang Rao, save me!"

"Tang Rao, help me."

Zhang Kexin knocked desperately on the door of the second room. Tang Rao put down his wine glass, opened the door, and saw Zhang Kexin standing there, trembling with fear.

"Zhang Kexin, what are you doing here?"

Tang Rao had traveled a long way, crossing mountains to get here. Could Zhang Kexin have done the same?

Originally not wanting to deal with a woman like Zhang Kexin, Tang Rao couldn't let a woman who kept crying for help stand outside, looking at him pitifully, so he let her in first.

"I was worried about you being outside alone, in a bad mood, overthinking things, so I came to see you, to comfort you a bit. I didn't expect to knock on the wrong door and get scared by the big guy next door."

The panic on Zhang Kexin's face didn't look fake, tears still lingering on her long eyelashes, seeming genuinely scared.

"I'm fine. It's you who came out without telling your grandfather?"

Zhang Kexin was used to being carefree. The old man had said countless times to report when she went out, but she never listened, treating his words as wind by her ears.

"I'll definitely tell Grandpa beforehand in the future. I'll behave and won't run around anymore."

Tingzhou was a small place. All sorts of people knew Zhang Kexin's name and respected old Zhang's face. They wouldn't bother with her mistakes, but outside Tingzhou, on this strange Gaoping Town, everything was different, and the strange, coveting eyes made Zhang Kexin shiver.

"Were you scared?"

Tang Rao would have to be morally questionable to ask Zhang Kexin this question.

"No, no."

Just from hearing Zhang Kexin's trembling voice, it was obvious she was quite frightened.

"Next time you want to run around, let me know first, don't go alone."

Whatever Tang Rao had been thinking, it was all jumbled up because of Zhang Kexin's appearance.

"Tang Rao, were you worried about me just now?"

Zhang Kexin asked tentatively.

Her probing was full of joy.

"No."

With a hard refusal, this answer didn't make Zhang Kexin feel any better.

"After all, you came out because of me. If something happened to you outside, how would I explain it to your grandfather?"

This was a good reason, and Zhang Kexin found herself unable to refute it.

"But I don't care what Grandpa thinks, I only care about what you think."

Zhang Kexin stared directly at Tang Rao with her wounded eyes, seemingly wanting to see through his heart.

"I only care about how you see me. I know you're sad about another woman, but I don't mind. I believe that as long as my heart is sincere, as long as I'm devoted to you, you will feel my goodness. Even the coldest heart will melt for me."

Determined in her pursuit, Zhang Kexin didn't appear to be an expert.

The few words she had learned were taught by An Sheng, during the time An Sheng was pursuing Zhang Kexin, she had often heard him utter those sweet nothings.

"Zhang Kexin, I've told you my thoughts long ago. No matter how you chase this moth to the flame, it's no use. Haven't you realized it yet?"

No, Zhang Kexin hadn't come this far to hear Tang Rao's words of rejection. Despite Tang Rao's repeated harsh words, she never thought of giving up.

"It's okay if you don't like me, as long as I like you, that's enough."

Zhang Kexin sat down beside Tang Rao, pulled out a wine glass from the Space Ring, and took a delightful sip from Tang Rao's wine jug.

"Hiccup."

After downing a cup, a hiccup burst forth, and Zhang Kexin almost coughed up her lungs from drinking too quickly.

"Hey, this wine is my treasured collection for years. Shouldn't you check with me and seek my opinion before drinking?"

Tang Rao was displeased; he had already forgotten whose daughter this was that he tricked for the rice wine collection, having only one jar himself, and wouldn't have brought it out had he not been in a bad mood.

"Does it make any sense?"

Zhang Kexin refilled another full cup and downed it in one gulp.

"Tang Rao, do you even have a conscience made of flesh? I said I liked you, you rejected me. I'm in a bad mood now, and I drank some of your wine, and you're so stingy. Why do you treat everyone else well, but are so unfriendly only to me?"

Good to everyone else, but unfriendly to Zhang Kexin?

If Zhang Kexin hadn't mentioned it, Tang Rao really wouldn't have found himself to be a heartless young man.

"Am I really that bad?"

Tang Rao touched his conscience, it was still warm, probably not as terrible as Zhang Kexin said.

"Yes, you really are terrible, it's just that you've never known how bad you really are."

Zhang Kexin pointed at Tang Rao's heart, still sipping his wine.

In just three drinks, Zhang Kexin had already turned Tang Rao into an age-old sinner.

"If I'm that terrible, why do you still treat me so well? Moreover, you still like me? Are you into self-abuse?"

Yeah, why did she still like Tang Rao despite his awfulness, as he suggested, was it self-abuse?

"Maybe. Unfortunately, all the masochistic things I've done still haven't touched you. Tang Rao, am I really that bad, like the others say, like my birth parents, destined never to be liked?"

Zhang Kexin suddenly burst into tears in Tang Rao's room.

It's unclear whether the room was soundproof, if not, who knows how much grievance Zhang Kexin seemed to have suffered from Tang Rao based on next door's perception.

"Who says you're not likable? Who says you're not loved? I only said we aren't a good match, it's not about you."

Not about you personally.

The admiration in love and in life is different. Zhang Kexin, being such a smart woman, surely she understood this?

"So what you mean is, I'm still a pretty good person, it's just that you don't like me, right?"

Zhang Kexin still harbored a faint hope towards Tang Rao.
