Wen Nian was slightly taken aback. Seeing the blood on the back of his hand gradually being transferred to the white handkerchief embroidered with camellias, he became somewhat out of control.
"Aren't you afraid?" His voice was hoarse as soon as he spoke.
"I'm not afraid," Shen Yishu replied without hesitation.
She looked up at him earnestly and said, "I don't know what other people think of your ability, but you saved me twice with it. I just think you're a hero, super cool."
Wen Nian felt her heart instantly filled, and also felt a bittersweet ache.
He wanted to say something, but he couldn't express it.
Shen Yishu lowered her head and carefully wiped his hands as she said, "After that ambiguous night, you left. I was really angry. You didn't reply to my messages. I thought you regretted it and gradually became insecure and sensitive. Even when Sheng Sheng told me that you were running away, I didn't believe it."
"Perhaps everyone feels inferior when facing someone they like, and I am too. But I don't want to run away because life is too short. If I miss it, all that will be left is regret."
Shen Yishu took a deep breath.
She didn't see that Wen Nian's gaze had never left her, and that her eyes were red at the corners and glistening with tears.
Shen Yishu mustered her courage and said, "So Wen Nian, I'm asking you one more time, do you want to be with me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her chin was lifted up by a warm, large hand.
In her shocked pupils, she saw Wen Nian approaching with his eyes closed in devout reverence.
A soft kiss landed on her lips, and Shen Yishu's heart skipped a beat. She gasped, and then a surge of joy welled up inside her.
She couldn't help but smile slightly, raise her hand to hug Wen Nian's slender waist, and close her eyes to return the kiss.
Only when she could no longer breathe did Shen Yishu push Wen Nian away.
"Alright, alright, I'm going back to cut the cake. You've eaten all my lipstick, how am I supposed to face anyone then?"
Wen Nian felt a little embarrassed, and her disordered breathing gradually calmed down.
Shen Yishu said, "You stay with me."
"I...I'll wait for you here."
Shen Yishu's eyes gleamed mischievously. "Sure, if you don't mind my mom dragging me around meeting men."
Wen Nian's face immediately darkened.
Shen Yishu smiled and took his arm. "Let's go. I'm here, don't worry. And let me tell you a secret, my mom is very satisfied with you. She even scolded me for being too picky."
That's because she doesn't know about my background.
Shen Yishu pretended to be angry, "What kind of people do you think my family are? Look at how cute and charming I am, how could my family be the kind of people who care about these things?"
Wen Nian: "..."
Without thinking twice, Shen Yishu grabbed him and left.
Wen Nian didn't want to refuse, but reluctantly followed along.
...
At this moment, people who had been living in darkness were pulled towards their brightly lit homes.
