Ning Xixi bit her lip with her pearly white teeth, her shiny black eyes at this moment revealing confusion.
Like? Dislike?
It seemed… she had never considered this question before.
She had always imagined Gong Xiu to be perfect, but she had never truly understood the real Gong Xiu.
So, did she actually like Gong Xiu, or was it just the longing she conjured up in her fantasies?
"I…"
Hesitating, wavering, unsure of how to begin.
The narrow peach blossom eyes filled with loss.
Even for such a question, must she hesitate?
Her heart, for some reason, filled with an impulse.
Desiring to kiss her, to possess her, to have her wholly belong to him…
Gong Xiu gently stroked her hair, pressing against Ning Xixi's forehead, ambiguous yet affectionate.
"It's okay if you don't like me, but I… have fallen for you."
Is this… Gong Xiu's confession?
Ning Xixi felt flustered, her mind in chaos.
Why… why so afraid… why so panicked…
