Luo Qingyan's voice trembled, choked with obvious sobs, as if each word was being squeezed out with great difficulty from her broken heart:
"What exactly do you want? If you're unwilling to reciprocate my feelings, why are you holding me so tightly? Can't you at least leave me with a shred of dignity and respect?"
Bai Ye listened silently, feeling a mix of emotions swirling within him, making him feel increasingly uncomfortable.
He instinctively hugged Luo Qingyan tighter in his arms, his arms unconsciously tightening their grip.
At this moment, his pity for the girl grew even stronger.
Looking at the pitiful girl crying with tears streaming down her face, Bai Ye felt like he was an utterly wicked sinner.
He knew very well that if he let go of her now and stopped embracing her, then his relationship with Luo Qingyan would probably come to a complete end.
Even ordinary friends may no longer be able to continue their relationship.
After all, he knew all the painful memories she had experienced in the past, so how could he bear to just watch her be dragged into that endless abyss of pain again?
Bai Ye had always believed that he was not the kind of scumbag who would play with other people's feelings, but now, faced with this tangled emotional mess, he suddenly realized that perhaps describing himself as a scumbag was not an exaggeration at all.
Because he couldn't let go of Luo Qingyan, and he couldn't bear to let her go.
At the same time, they couldn't bear to hurt the other party and didn't want to see anyone sad or upset because of him.
This dilemma left him feeling more lost and helpless than ever before.
Bai Ye gently leaned closer to Luo Qingyan, his voice like a soft breeze drifting into her ears: "Qingyan, can you give me a little more time?"
Luo Qingyan's delicate body trembled slightly. She stood there quietly, like a lily swaying in the wind, beautiful yet fragile.
Her clear, watery eyes gazed at Bai Ye, listening intently to every word he was about to say.
Bai Ye took a deep breath and continued:
"I'm sorry, Qingyan. Actually, I've known about your feelings for me for a long time, but I always chose to ignore them."
At this point, he lowered his head with a hint of guilt.
"For so long, I've always told you that I treat you like my own sister, and I've really tried my best to do so."
However, as time went by, I felt more and more that something was wrong.
I've found that whenever I try to get close to you like I would to a younger sister, I get a strange feeling that makes me want to run away.
Because I'm afraid that if this feeling is allowed to continue, our originally simple brother-sister relationship might slowly change.
You know, we're not actually related by blood!
Bai Ye raised his head, looked firmly at Luo Qingyan, and said sincerely:
"However, Qingyan, please believe me, I do indeed harbor a special affection for you. This affection is not the familial love a brother has for his sister, but rather the love between a man and a woman."
However, something very important has happened recently, and it involves many aspects, so it's not convenient to tell you the details right now.
It left me in utter turmoil, and I didn't know how to face this sudden feeling.
So, could you please give me a little more time?
I will definitely think this through carefully and then give you the most satisfactory and truthful answer.
After hearing Bai Ye's candid words, the tears in Luo Qingyan's eyes gradually dissipated.
When she heard Bai Ye admit that he loved her, the joy in her heart burst forth like fireworks.
Her lips unconsciously turned up, revealing a smile as radiant as spring flowers, and she was completely immersed in happiness.
For Luo Qingyan, the happiest thing in the world was that the boy she longed for also loved her with the same deep affection.
At this moment, it felt as if a thousand words were surging in her heart, and she was eager to tell Bai Ye them all.
However, these words were ultimately buried deep in my heart.
She stopped struggling and quietly nestled in the broad and warm embrace of the white night, fully enjoying this rare peace and warmth.
The warm aura emanating from Bai Ye was like the warm sun in winter, making her feel extremely at ease;
That strong sense of security was like a sturdy city wall, protecting her tightly within it.
At that moment, Luo Qingyan suddenly realized that life could be so wonderful.
The heart that was once broken by love and heartbroken has now experienced a dramatic reversal, like riding a roller coaster.
The shadows of pain and despair gradually dissipated, replaced by joy and sweetness that filled my heart and eyes.
Luo Qingyan buried her head deep in Bai Ye's arms and whispered softly:
"Senior, I will wait for you! No matter how long it takes, I will always wait for you!"
Although her voice was soft, the determination it contained was unwavering.
Then, she secretly vowed in her heart: "Even if you don't choose me in the future and instead spend your life with other girls, I will still wait for you faithfully. In this life, I will not marry anyone but you!"
When Bai Ye heard Luo Qingyan's solemn and heartfelt confession, which sounded like a vow, his heart trembled violently.
Faced with such a passionate and pure emotion, he suddenly felt somewhat at a loss.
He slowly lowered his head, not daring to meet Luo Qingyan's expectant gaze.
Because only he himself knows that he is just a boy with overflowing emotions.
He was not sure if he could keep his emotional promises to her, nor did he know how to face the woman who loved him so wholeheartedly.
Therefore, making a promise like "I will definitely marry you" is actually worthless.
If this is just a lie to deceive her, then there's even less reason to tell her the truth.
After all, at this moment, he is not yet able to bear the heavy responsibility and pressure that this relationship brings.
Given the current situation, the wisest course of action is to avoid making any promises lightly.
In this way, the other party will not feel disappointed or let down one day.
