He hugged her from behind, his cheek pressed against her shoulder. "Of course I want to, Shuyuan. You have no idea how much I love you. I've always dreamed of being with you, and now that my dream has come true, I feel like I'm dreaming, like none of this is real."
Shen Shuyuan resisted his embrace, a feeling of nausea rising from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
