Do I really have to wait until I'm dying to regret that, damn, I haven't even kissed a woman in my life... wouldn't that be too much of a pity?
So when Rebecca wants to get close to me, I just don't want to tell her—hey, calm down, girl, I'm a good man who thinks with my head, responsible and serious, so let's wait a few years, wait for my heart to settle down, then thoroughly think about the future.
I can only maintain at least the line of not being a minor, and keep the minimum distance..."
Mercer said with an exaggerated tone and then mocked himself with a smile: "Actually, for me, Rebecca actively approaching me is one of the rare times I can relax.
At least during those times, I don't have to think too much, if a girl I like actively offers a hug, I'll just accept it..."
He looked at Lucy and sighed: "But... later on, I'll pay more attention, you're right, I indeed consider my own feelings more than yours, it's true, because I just like more than one girl...
So what can I do? Like is like, I can't lie to myself, nor do I want to lie to you, so I'll just shamelessly keep going... then take it one step at a time, who knows if we even have a future?"
Lucy was silent for a moment, and finally, she could only sigh: "I get it."
But she actually doesn't know anything now, her mind is all a mess, however, for now, she doesn't want to add to his troubles.
Forcing him to make a choice now doesn't make any sense, he doesn't want to choose now anyway, and if pressured further, at most he'll just keep a certain distance from Rebecca for now, and then continue dragging...
"What about later? Assume I've also come of age, I mean... you can't just keep going on like this forever, right?"
Lucy bit her lip lightly: "I can wait a little longer... bear with it... but even Rebecca can't just let you keep muddling through like this, right?"
At Lucy's words, Mercer suddenly laughed and told her softly:
"Actually, Rebecca... I feel she's quite open-minded about it, probably seen too much trash while hanging around on the street, being a bit of a flirt with her doesn't cost me much points...
What she cares more about is my attitude and whether I truly like her... uh, that's it."
Mercer's words surprised Lucy a bit, she widened her eyes slightly in disbelief: "How is that possible? She normally can't wait to gobble you up..."
"Do you think she can't see that there's some ambiguity between me and Qiwei? Even V can see it."
Mercer frankly said: "But she's never asked—not once, really, not once. She just acts like she knows nothing, it's not a kind of self-deceptive ignorance, but truly not caring.
She also never asked anything about you, really, while you might still get jealous of her, thinking about what to do in our relationship later...
But Rebecca never thinks about it, at most she occasionally says a few words, just to tease me, don't mind her and V bickering every day, it's just because she and V naturally don't get along well...
But it's just the kind of playful banter, a love-hate relationship, deep down, she actually quite likes V."
Mercer's words shook Lucy's worldview a bit—she truly didn't know.
She always thought Rebecca seized every opportunity to cling to him, seemingly the one with the strongest possessiveness, but...
Qiwei and Mercer are just roommates.
And Rebecca completely doesn't care about what's happening around Mercer.
V is even pretending nothing's happening.
It seems like only she has been pouting all along.
Could it be... the only problem lies with her?
Lucy quickly shook her head: "I don't believe it!"
"Seriously, whether you believe it or not, if I message her now saying she made you sad and shut yourself off because she kissed me with lipstick all over this morning, she'd probably come to chat with you..."
Mercer confidently assured her.
Lucy looked a bit bewildered, after a while, she gritted her teeth and said directly: "Then send her a message... if she really comes, then I will..."
She was a bit at a loss.
Mercer gently pinched her hand, smiling: "You don't have to imitate her... It's okay to be jealous, I don't dislike it, isn't this because you like me?"
She said nothing, while Mercer took advantage and leaned forward, gently reaching out to hug her: "I said this not to make you compare yourself with her, I just want to say... our relationship, let's just focus on our own matters.
Other people's business, those are between me and others, you only need to care about your own feelings.
I'll be careful in the future, at least not to make you constantly upset with jealousy.
As for the future... if we really live until the future together, then I'll certainly find a way to keep you by my side, didn't we agree to be lifelong family?
That's my responsibility to consider, in any case..."
Mercer smiled in Japanese: "Even if not talking about love for now, we'll still be lifelong partners~"
Lucy didn't quite get what quirk he was playing at, but as she was held in his embrace, her body couldn't help but soften, she leaned on his shoulder, listening to the sound of two hearts beating in his chest, after a long pause, seemed to sigh helplessly.
"Shall we go to the moon?" she suddenly asked.
Mercer was taken aback for a moment, then immediately agreed.
