Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

Seeing that his beloved did not answer his question directly, Cheng Yan became anxious and grabbed Zandik's collar, eager to hear what he wanted to hear from him.

"Zanzan, can you please say it again? Do you like me?"

"..."

"Say it again, please."

Cheng Yan almost pressed his entire body against Zandik, wanting to pinch his mouth and speak for him.

"…It's okay." Anyway, I don't hate it.

Zandik carefully felt his feelings for the person in front of him, and they were throbbing... but now he couldn't get excited at all, all because Cheng Yan was too out of touch.

"Zan Zan, if you don't like me, then you hate me."

Cheng Yan's theory that could make people pound the table in anger came out again.

Zandik took a deep breath and tried to raise his hand to cover Cheng Yan's mouth before he could start his seemingly reasonable speech.

When he raised his hand halfway, Cheng Yan grabbed it firmly.

"Zanzan, everything I said to you was serious."

Give me some of your attention, more of it.

Cheng Yan had always been a little worried, which started when Zandik frequently used his name to visit various important laboratories in the college.

Zazan seems to have his own persistent pursuit in his heart, but if this pursuit continues, there will not be very good results, and it may even make Zazan pay a heavy price.

Cheng Yan wanted to stop this from happening, even though he knew that with Zandik's personality, he would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, he still wanted to try.

People are people, and cannot be compared with objects. The indifference to human life that Zandik occasionally showed made Cheng Yan have nightmares several times at night.

I dreamed that Zandik was being criticized by thousands of people, but he didn't care and continued along the path he had chosen.

Cheng Yan doesn't care whether the person he likes is good or bad, but in that situation, no matter how strong Zanzan is, he will feel lonely. Moreover, behavior that goes against justice will definitely attract obstruction from many people.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yan suddenly raised his hands and hugged Zandik's neck tightly.

"Zan Zan, you like me, right? I will always be with you."

Before something happens, maybe I have a chance to stop it.

Cheng Yan thought about it and hugged Zandik a little tighter.

Someone patted my back, and a deep voice came into my ear, "So, if I don't like you, you won't accompany me."

The blind spot in Cheng Yan's words was caught by Zandik.

Cheng Yan held his arm tightly and shook his head vigorously, "Zan Zan, I feel like you should like me a little now, but this little bit is so little."

At least not enough to make myself the most important person to Zanzan.

Zandik did not speak, and did not take his hand off Cheng Yan's back. His red eyes were drooping, and no one knew what he was thinking.

[Host, I haven't told you yet, the upper limit of the target Zandik's favorability is 50]

The system glanced at the half-gray and half-red progress bar of favorability and gave a reminder.

"What do you mean..." Confusion flashed in Cheng Yan's eyes.

[Host, not everyone has the ability to love fully. Compared to ordinary people, the target Zandik is indeed a little cold-hearted, so you don't have to be discouraged. The current favorability of 20 is already considered high.]

Cheng Yan was silent for a long time, not knowing how to react.

"Praise him. Was he ever hurt as a child?"

Otherwise, why would we have less ability to love than ordinary people?

[…Maybe, this history cannot be found in the system at present]

A faint bitterness welled up in his heart, and Cheng Yan's eyes became sore, as if he saw himself when he was a child, being chased into a corner full of garbage and kicked.

His teeth were trembling a little, and Cheng Yan tried his best to lean close to Zandik's ear, "Zanzan, don't worry, I will always be with you, whether you like me or not, I will always be with you."

He didn't want to see anyone go through that again.

[Host, don't be too emotional. Your target, Zandik, may be born like this.]

Cheng Yan was already lost in his memories, his body seemed to be able to feel the pain from the fists and kicks. He burrowed into Zandik's arms and frowned in pain.

"I won't... leave you alone."

Cheng Yan had to exert force to make a sound. He was shivering and desperately wanted to get warm.

Master, Master, he wants Master.

Ke Gui had no way of knowing what Cheng Yan was thinking, nor could he rush here immediately.

Zandik noticed that Cheng Yan was abnormal, and put his hand on his shoulder to look at his expression.

"Hey……"

Why are you crying suddenly?

"I believe you will always be with me." Zandik wanted to look into Cheng Yan's eyes, but he could only see the mist in his eyes.

The genius scholar who had always been successful was in a dilemma and was even cautious when touching Cheng Yan.

"Don't cry, I like you. I just lied to you. Not only do I not hate you, I even like you a little bit."

Cheng Yan continued to cry.

"...Well, not a little, I like you very much." Zandik said almost the softest words he could say.

Cheng Yan's tears continued to flow.

He felt a little confused in his heart. Zandik didn't want to see Cheng Yan crying. It was nothing like what he had imagined. He had no mood to appreciate him at all. He just wanted him to stop crying as soon as possible.

[Drip—Target Zandik’s favorability +5, current favorability 25]

He pressed Cheng Yan's head into his arms and said, "Don't cry, I'm telling you the truth now. I'll only say it once, I don't hate you, and I like you very much."

The movement in his arms became quieter. Zandik wanted to secretly see Cheng Yan's expression, but before he could even take a look at him, he heard Cheng Yan sniff heavily, and he quickly pushed him back.

"You heard it, right? I won't repeat it. Stop crying. It doesn't look good when you cry."
