Chapter 399: Two People Whose Feelings Are Not Pure
Alyssa's lips were only a few hairs away from Su Cheng's cheek.
Su Cheng could already clearly feel Alyssa's warm breath and the faint heat coming from Alyssa's lips.
However, just when Alyssa's lips were only a hair away from Su Cheng's face——
Alyssa stopped.
When Alyssa brought her lips to Su Cheng's cheek, she moved so quickly that Su Cheng had no time to react.
Judging from Alyssa's speed just now, if she decisively kissed Su Cheng on the cheek, Su Cheng would definitely not be able to avoid it.
Unfortunately, Alyssa stopped when there was only a slight distance from Su Cheng's cheek.
Taking advantage of the gap when Alyssa stopped, Su Cheng, who finally came to his senses, quickly pulled his body a short distance away so that he could be slightly away from Alyssa.
After staying slightly away from Alyssa, Su Cheng blushed slightly and looked at Alyssa in astonishment.
"A-Alyssa?"
"Well......"
Alyssa, whose cheeks were red, made a low sound, and then retracted her head.
"No...it's too embarrassing...I can't do it..."
Alyssa's already red cheeks became redder again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I was just joking..." Su Cheng said, somewhat dumbfounded, "I don't need any verbal thanks, nor do I need any material thanks..."
"I know, from your tone, I can tell that you are just joking with me. But I still want to say thank you properly..."
Alyssa pulled the scarf again as she spoke, letting the scarf cover her already red face.
"I originally wanted to imitate Your Highness Ilsa and give you a kiss on the cheek as a thank you gift, but in such a large public, I can't do such a shameful thing..."
"There's no need to express your gratitude to me..." Su Cheng touched the place where Alyssa almost kissed him just now and said this a little helplessly.
The two were silent.
The atmosphere between the two of them was very awkward at this time.
The two of them, whose minds were also in chaos, didn't know what to do next or what to say.
After a while, Alyssa, who couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere, broke the silence and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Her Highness Ilsa for a long time."
"Well, the memory is still fresh." Su Cheng quickly answered, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Ilsa for a long time. I wonder how she is doing now."
"Yes." Alyssa replied, "I really miss her a little..."
silence……
After a few brief conversations, the two fell silent again, and the atmosphere between them began to slowly become awkward again.
Just when Su Cheng was racking his brains to think of what to talk about next to break the awkward atmosphere between the two of them, Alyssa took the lead again and said:
"Actually...the two girls just said were right. This dress doesn't suit me at all."
As soon as Alyssa finished speaking, Su Cheng looked surprised and surprised, then turned to look at Alyssa.
Alyssa lifted her feet, curled her knees up to her chest, then raised her hands to hug her knees, and then continued with a somewhat disappointed tone:
"Since I was a child, I have longed for my mother who became a knight at a young age and has great military talents."
"So I determined to become a knight as powerful as my mother."
"So I have practiced various fighting skills and equestrian skills since I was a child, and learned various military knowledge."
"Because I have practiced swordsmanship, spearmanship and other messy fighting skills since I was a child, I have been stronger and more muscular than other girls of the same age since I was a child. At the same time, because I have inherited the excellent genes of my parents, I am also far better than other girls. Girls of the same age are taller.”
"My female friends who are the same age as me,
The hands are white and tender, unlike mine, which are not only rough but also covered with calluses. "
Alyssa showed a wry smile on her face and showed her right palm towards Su Cheng.
Perhaps because she has practiced various fighting techniques since she was a child, Alyssa's hands are larger than those of girls of the same age. The palms are not only rough, but also have many calluses from holding swords for many years.
"Also, because I have always been preoccupied with figuring out how to become a powerful knight like my mother, I have never had time to pay attention to the things that young girls usually pay attention to."
"I don't know how to do anything like makeup, dressing up, clothes, etc."
"Sometimes, when my friends talk about makeup, dressing up, etc., I can't get in the conversation at all... because I don't understand anything..."
"Su Cheng, am I funny? As a 20-year-old young aristocratic girl, I don't even know how to put on makeup..."
"To put it simply, I am an unfeminine person compared to other girls of the same age..."
"Although I don't regret this at all, sometimes I still feel a little envious..."
Speaking of this, Alyssa buried most of her face in her thighs, only revealing a pair of somewhat red eyes.
"I sometimes envy those who can put on beautiful makeup, and those who are suitable for wearing such beautiful clothes..."
…
Su Cheng has been listening to Alyssa's story quietly.
Looking at Alyssa who was hugging her knees now, her eyes were slightly red.
To be honest, Su Cheng didn't know what to do now.
After all, Su Cheng didn't have much experience in comforting people.
...
While Su Cheng was still hesitating, not knowing what to do next, Alyssa made a move.
Alyssa fell in the direction of Su Cheng and leaned gently on Su Cheng's body.
Looking at Alyssa who suddenly leaned on him, Su Cheng's eyes flashed with a bit of surprise and astonishment.
Looking at Alyssa who was leaning on him, Su Cheng hesitated for a while, then a look of determination gradually appeared on his face.
Su Cheng slowly raised his left hand and went around the back of Alyssa who was sitting on his left, and then gently grabbed Alyssa's left shoulder.
He hugged Alyssa gently.
Su Cheng's intuition told him that this was the right approach at the moment.
Alyssa did not resist Su Cheng's move and allowed Su Cheng to hug her.
"Alyssa..." Su Cheng said in a gentle tone, "You don't have to pay attention to what those two girls just said."
"People are free to wear whatever clothes they want, and outsiders have no right to make irresponsible remarks."
"So - Alyssa, you really don't have to cover your face like this. If you like this dress, just wear it boldly without looking like a thief."
After saying that, Su Cheng raised his right hand and gently pulled down the scarf that covered most of Alyssa's face.
When Su Cheng pulled her scarf down, Alyssa subconsciously wanted to stop Su Cheng.
But for some reason, Alyssa, who was being hugged by Su Cheng at this time, couldn't muster the slightest strength to stop Su Cheng, and allowed Su Cheng to pull her scarf off.
"As for Alyssa, what you just said about 'I don't have femininity' is actually not clear to me about what 'femininity' is, but I know that Alyssa, you don't actually need to feel ashamed or embarrassed about it. If you have low self-esteem, you don’t need to envy other girls.”
"After all, you have a lot of muscles on your body and don't know how to dress up, but you still exude a strong charm and attract a lot of people."
"Oh? Really?" Alyssa said half-jokingly, "Do I attract a lot of people like this?"
"Well, yes. One of them is hugging you right now."
"Are you hugging me..."
The look of disappointment on Alyssa's face slowly dissipated.
A smile full of happiness gradually appeared on Alyssa's face.
"...Thank you, Su Cheng." Alyssa murmured.
After thanking Su Cheng in a low voice, Alyssa tilted her head and leaned on Su Cheng's left collarbone.
The current posture between the two is no longer ordinary ambiguous.
Because Alyssa rested her head on Su Cheng's left collarbone, their faces were now very close.
Su Cheng could smell the fragrance of Alyssa's hair very clearly, and when he lowered his head, he could see Alyssa's face that was very close to him.
Regarding Alyssa who suddenly leaned on his left collarbone, Su Cheng just had a look of surprise on his face and then calmed down.
After hesitating for just a few seconds, Su Cheng tightened his hand on Alyssa's left shoulder and hugged Alyssa tighter.
Su Cheng hugged Alyssa tightly.
Alyssa leaned against Su Cheng quietly.
