Xie Yizhi's voice was low and gentle, like a breeze brushing past your ear, carrying an intoxicating quality: "Luo Luo, I will explain everything to you later."

But you must believe that my feelings for you have never been false.

Meeting you in this life is my blessing.

Jiang Luoluo, however, was unconvinced and scoffed inwardly. Explain? How could she explain?

Are you suggesting I tell her that Xie Zhichen's mother risked her life to save him in the northern desert, and that he was obligated to repay her with his body? She wouldn't believe such a melodramatic story; she's not a three-year-old.

Before she could retort, Xie Yizhi gently took her hand, enveloping her slightly cool fingertips in his palm, his fingertips slowly caressing her, as if carefully soothing her emotions.

His movements were so gentle that Jiang Luoluo momentarily forgot to break free, and her heartbeat inexplicably slowed down.

Suddenly, Xie Yizhi lowered his head and placed a kiss on her palm.

That slightly cool touch, like ripples on water, instantly brought forth an indescribable tingling sensation, spreading from the palm of the hand all the way to the limbs and bones, even stirring the depths of the heart.

Jiang Luoluo froze.

As if struck by lightning, she stood there dumbfounded, unconsciously holding her breath.

Xie Yizhi slowly raised his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable, with a hint of sly smile.

He raised his eyebrows, a faint smile playing on his lips, like a child who had stolen a piece of candy, looking at her with a triumphant and smug expression.

That smile, gentle and warm, radiating youthful spirit, was so dazzling it made one's mind wander.

Jiang Luoluo looked at him, her heartbeat inexplicably erratic, and her head felt a little dizzy.

She involuntarily closed her eyes slightly, as if drawn by an invisible force, moving closer to him.

Xie Yi was taken aback, his eyes darkening instantly.

He seemed to realize something, a smile appearing in his eyes. He then slowly lowered his head, his thin lips gradually moving closer to hers.
