Xu Yanfeng looked at her and spoke slowly, his voice serious. "You should be able to tell that I've never forgotten you. Even when we first met again, I treated you badly, but that was because I was competing with myself."
Xia Xi stopped breathing for two seconds. She didn't expect that he would suddenly confess his feelings to her.
She thought that in the hotel in North City, when he hugged her and asked her, "Would you consider going back to me?", it was already a huge step for him.

With me, you... seem to have a golden ticket to immunity from death. No matter what you did, I can't let you go."
Xia Xi suddenly pulled her hand away, and the moment she turned her head, tears welled up in her eyes.
