"What's wrong?"
"I've noticed you're really obsessed with romance."
"How so?"
Slowly opening her slightly closed eyes, she turned her head to the side.
It struck him squarely, meeting the suppressed desire burning in the depths of his eyes.
A sense of openness and honesty resided in his dark pupils, subtly hinting at a raging fire.
In an instant, it felt as if something was scratching at her nerves and seeping into her mind, leaving her utterly defeated.
Taking advantage of her distraction, Zhang Youye increased the pressure on her hand: "Why aren't you saying anything?"

This was the first time in his life that he had been so averse to the word "death," because he simply couldn't imagine it.
