Chapter 514 Confession of Feelings

Si Ye's eyes were like a ball of fire and a knife. He stared straight at Xia Tian's face, afraid to miss any subtle changes in the girl's expression.

"I'm serious. It's not a momentary impulse, nor am I stimulated by anything." Xia Tian didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. She explained seriously, her tone as serious as if she was saying "you should put half a spoonful of salt in the soup."

Maybe to others, her words seemed a little... unexpected? Or maybe it was unconventional for a girl to confess first.

However, just like when she decided to broadcast live in the wilderness with a female body, she has experienced many doubts along the way, but no one can change what she has decided to do.

Then, Si Ye asked the question everyone asks when confessing their love to their loved one: "Why me?"

Xia Tian didn't say anything, just took two steps forward, and then - hugged Si Ye.

"Do you need a reason to like someone? If you want reasons, I can give you many. However, loving someone doesn't require a reason. Leaving someone does." She gently rested her chin on the man's broad shoulder and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "If I have to ask for a reason, it's that I asked myself a question - if I were to leave you, or if you leave me, would I be heartbroken?"

"Then, my heart answered me—it hurts. I don't know why I feel this way, nor when it started, but one thing is certain, that is, I can't leave you. Your plan succeeded, and now I can't leave you... What about you? Will you leave me?"

Xia Tian didn't want to deny her true feelings, but because of many external factors, she had to hide her feelings.

She also knew that everything Si Ye did was like boiling a frog in warm water, forcing her to constantly adapt and get used to her current life, and then she would never be able to leave him again.

However, she knew all this and yet she acquiesced.

As for where it all started? Perhaps it was that initial conversation in the bushes, or the unpaid help he gave birth to, or perhaps it was a bowl of hot broth on a cold night...

She kept herself busy, as if that would allow her to ignore the thoughts in her mind.

It was not until Tang Zhai appeared and she learned about the so-called arranged marriage by the Beast God that she was prompted to tell everything.

"I will never leave you. Even if I die, I will turn into a star and protect you forever." Si Ye finally believed that he was not hallucinating. He hugged Xia Tian tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.

From the moment Xia Tian saved him, he silently made a vow in his heart that if he could become her partner, he would definitely spend his whole life protecting Xia Tian.

Now, the ideal has become reality, and the words that I whispered in my heart have been engraved in my bones and blood.

——He will practice it with his own life.

[Wow, it just felt like a simple hug, but I was so moved!]

[Is this the love of mutual protection and support? More than a heartbeat, there's a feeling of being moved.]

[I feel the same way. I feel like I'm calm, but for no apparent reason I feel like crying...]

[Ah! Today is another day where I am deeply moved by other people’s love!]
