"You're coaxing me again."

"I'm not trying to fool you." Song Shengsheng held the cup to his lips. "Come, drink some water to moisten your throat. Listen to me slowly explain this to you. Being with you now is like obtaining the true scriptures from the West. After twelve years of fighting, I finally took control of the world. To put it another way, it's like Yugong moving the mountains or Jingwei filling the sea with stones. It wasn't easy. It's impossible for you to fall in love with someone else in less than half a year of marriage."

Seeing Jiang Yiyu drink the Coke she handed him, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Besides, what is a secret crush? It's a one-sided love that doesn't guarantee a response or a result. Yet, I persisted for twelve years. During that time, I implicitly confessed my feelings so many times, but I didn't get a response from you. Yet, I still didn't give up. This proves my deep love for you. You have to admit that."

Jiang Yiyu didn't say anything, but the expression on his face did relax a little.

"There's no shortage of men in this world, and there's no shortage of good-looking men. There are even more good-looking men than you, right? But I just think you're the prettiest. What's that? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. That means I love you. I like your face, so you should be happy. I praise you, and that's expressing my love. Brother Yi Yu, I like you so much, you should be more confident, but don't be too blind."

Jiang Yiyu hissed, "Why do I feel like you're brainwashing me?"

Song Shengsheng sighed, put down the cup, held his hand, patted it, and said earnestly: "Call it brainwashing or whatever, whatever you want to think, but the fact that I love you cannot be changed."

Jiang Yiyu chuckled softly. After hearing it, Song Shengsheng looked up at him and smiled: "Are you not so angry anymore?"

"It's just okay."

"It's okay if it's just so-so. Life is full of uncertainty. One should not be too sure of what one says. One should leave room for improvement."

"Wait a minute, how do you explain that you don't care what happens between me and others?"

Song Shengsheng leaned on his shoulder: "I'm not jealous. First, I've never been jealous before. Second, it's because I believe you love me and won't let me suffer even the slightest bit of grievance. Those who are jealous every day are because their partner doesn't love them enough. If they really love each other, they won't do anything to make their lover sad. So, I'm not jealous because you love me enough, and I know it."

She blinked and looked up at him: "Does it make you happier if you think this way?"
