“What?” Huo Yunshen asked, as he was curious from the beginning.
“I love you,” Xu Xiyan said. “That’s what I wanted to tell you. I’ve loved you ever since we met. Only you.”
“…” Huo Yunshen was stunned and did not know how to react. Did she just say she loves me? It was never a one-sided affection?
He found himself unable to speak as the happiness came too suddenly.
“You’re not allowed to give up on yourself,” Xu Xiyan said, holding his hands. “I don’t care about your legs. What I want is the person you are, that’s the most important thing. Even if you can never walk for the rest of your life, I’m willing to act as your walking cane. Wherever you go, I’ll follow.”
Xu Xiyan raised her head and looked at him gently with eyes filled with love.
The sincerity and the warmth in her words…it was the most touching thing that he had ever heard.
Huo Yunshen could feel his heart skip a beat.
It was Xu Xiyan who had saved him when he was in his darkest moment, she’d given him confidence and the faith to live on.
She was like the warm sun, showing a path for him.
The heart that had been pushed into despair was pulled back by her as it began to beat wildly.
“Hey,” Xu Xiyan nudged as Huo Yunshen remained silent. “Aren’t you going to say anything, even after I’ve confessed? Don’t forget, you already took my first time five years ago. You’ll have to take up the responsibility.”
She held his hands up, vowing to never let them go.
Tears were filling Huo Yunshen’s eyes. He turned his hands and grabbed hers as if he was holding the most treasured possession that he’d ever had.
“I will, I will take that responsibility,” Huo Yunshen said.
His deep voice was still attracting, like he was tickling her heart.
There were many more things that he wanted to tell her.
He wanted to thank her too.
He wanted to thank her for choosing him even when he was imperfect.
For a person that God had abandoned, he was lucky to have met her.
Jing Xi… I will take care of you for the rest of my life… Huo Yunshen vowed. As long as you remain with me, I’ll never let you go… Always…
Xu Xiyan smiled as soon as she heard his reply.
His reply represented a promise that would never be broken.
Huo Yunshen could finally feel the sweetness of life after he’d been living in darkness. It was the love that he’d longed for.
Love could be straightforward. It didn’t need complicated gifts, nor showing off in front of others. It doesn’t even need to be enchanted by sweet talks.
One look and a simple sentence could make your significant other understand you.
That was what love was about.
Huo Yunshen’s nod and reply were sweet, even sweeter than the sweetest melon on earth.
“Mr. Huo, what are you going to do about tomorrow?” Xu Xiyan asked. Even though she was in a good mood, she was still worried about the extraordinary general meeting that would happen the next day.
“Don’t worry, I still have something up my sleeve,” Huo Yunshen replied. He’d decided to stop playing a good guy and show Huo Jingtang what it meant to betray his trust.
This is still not the worst case scenario!
