Chapter 485: Confession
After Huang Rongyu left the room, only Yun Fusang and Xie Qingui remained in the space.
Yun Fusang leaned against the soft pillows, her face pale and her expression haggard. Compared to her usual aloof and proud self, she now looked rather vulnerable.
After a brief silence, Yun Fusang spoke calmly: "What do you want to tell me?"
Looking into her lifeless eyes, Xie Qin Gui knew that the world before her was now shrouded in darkness.
So he did something—he took her cold hand in his palm.
Yun Fusang stiffened, raised her eyes to "look" at him, her voice tinged with helplessness: "What...what are you doing?"
"Is it warm?" the boy asked her.
After losing her sight, her other senses became more acutely amplified. She instinctively gripped his hand tightly, her fingertips touching the warmth of his palm. The slight heat on his skin almost flowed into her icy heart.
Yun Fusang paused for a moment, then nodded: "Warm."
"Will I be able to hold your hand like this again in the future?" Xie Qingui asked softly.
Yun Fusang: "..."
Just as she was about to answer, Xie Qingui raised his other hand and gently covered her mouth: "You don't have to answer me first."
"Why?" Yun Fusang asked, puzzled. "Are you afraid of getting an answer from me that you don't want to hear?"
Xie Qingui paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's one of the reasons, but it's not the biggest reason."
"What other reasons are there?"
Xie Qingui answered truthfully, his tone earnest and sincere: "I know that you are in a bad mood because you can't see anything right now due to temporary blindness, and you may think that everything I do for you is out of pity, but I am not that kind of person."
"Whether you go blind or not, my heart belongs to you, Yun Fusang."
After saying this, Xie Qingui covered his face in embarrassment, his handsome face flushed.
This is terrible!
It was the first time I'd ever confessed my feelings to a girl, and the feeling was just...
Yun Fusang froze on the bed.
He loves her?
Hearing him say those words so directly, she was not unmoved; in fact, her heart was pounding and she felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
Even she, who is usually calm and collected, became nervous at this moment.
Recalling what Xie Qingui had said to her before the competition—"If we both win a spot in the Eight Desolate Divine Realm, can you promise me one thing?"
Could this be about agreeing to be with him?
Yun Fusang closed her eyes and smiled.
My initial frustration vanished in an instant.
But she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll answer you after the Spirit Master Exchange Meeting."
As she spoke, she gripped his hand tightly.
...
After visiting Yun Fusang, Ye Fei and the others returned to the venue to continue watching the competition.
The dean asked in a low voice, "What happened? Why did you all suddenly leave?"
Ye Fei replied, "Fusang has woken up."
"She's awake?" The dean's eyes lit up, but then his expression turned wistful as he thought of her current blindness: "Is she alright?"
Ye Fei shook her head: "It's alright, I've regained my senses, and everything is normal except for not being able to see."
"By the way, Dean, do you know who this Fang Luo is?"
The dean glanced at the seats on the Dongli Academy side without changing his expression, and said with a stern face, "I investigated last night."
