Haotian felt the warmth of the friction against her skin. She was not overcome by lust, but looked at Chu Xinqiao with a sad expression.

"Are you sure? No consequences mean certain loss. If you just want to indulge in momentary pleasure, then please don't get up in the first place. Do you really think you can endure the loneliness and longing in the future?"

Chu Xinqiao pressed herself against Haotian, feeling the powerful beating of his heart. A faint golden light gathered at Haotian's heart, which was Haotian's Taoist technique for discerning whether others were telling the truth.

Chu Xinqiao looked at Haotian, who was lying beneath her, her face full of sorrow and grief, and her heart felt as if it had been clenched.

But she always knew very well.

Even though she knew it was an accident, she would still cherish the beautiful memories she had. She couldn't accept that her cowardice had caused her to miss out on Haotian.

She was unwilling to miss out on the beauty she had never experienced before, even knowing it was a dead end. But for the sake of the beautiful and magnificent scenery she had never seen before, she wanted to keep going.

So Chu Xinqiao replied with a solemn expression, "I'm sure I've figured it out. My feelings for you aren't just for momentary pleasure. Even if I know I'll lose you, I still want to have had you, even if it means I'll be lonely and heartbroken in the future because of it."

Chu Xinqiao's heart was pounding faster and faster...

Haotian then looked at Chu Xinqiao in front of him...

Her stunningly beautiful face was filled with unwavering determination.

Then, the golden light at Haotian's heart faded away, confirming that Chu Xinqiao had not lied.

And so, Haotian closed his eyes.

Chu Xinqiao's delicate body, which was pressing down on her, began to tremble with excitement.

I...I, Chu Xinqiao, have finally...!
