A sudden impulse seizes Bai Mu Ye and he dials a familiar number quickly .
The call goes through .
He could hear his own breath .
Soon, someone picks up .
“Mu Ye!” A familiar and soft voice rises by his ear .
She sounds happy . He can imagine what she is like right now - her eyes in curves with a beaming smile .
If he is with her, he is going to lower himself and kiss her .
“You . . . I’ve watched that video,” said Bai Mu Ye .
Immediately, Ah Zhao realizes what he is talking about . “Just now?”
He nods . Remembering that she can't see him nod, he adds hurriedly: “Yes . My phone was dead in the morning . . . ”
He stops himself suddenly for he has been beating around the bush .
Get to the point!
Taking a deep breath, he asks: “Ah Zhao, what you said in the interview . . . ”
Both ends of the call turns silent .
“Do you mean what you said?”
That she wants to marry him, that she wants to spend the rest of her life with him .
Her every word makes his heart jump .
Ah Zhao sighs . “You still don’t believe me . ”
She sounds a bit upset . “I thought I was clear enough . ”
Bai Mu Ye opens his mouth, doesn't know what to say .
True, he has heard what was said in the interview from her already .
But he is afraid .
It's not that he doesn't trust Ah Zhao . He simply doesn't believe in himself .
Is he that charming to have won Lu Yuanzhao's heart, that she is willing to give up the whole forest for him?
He doesn't think he is .
On the other end of the call, listening to her boyfriend's silence, Ah Zhao is a bit frustrated as she speaks to cotton candy: “Because of what Lu Yuanzhao did in the past, he doesn't believe me now . ”
A sweetheart cotton candy is, it tries to cheer her up . “Don't give up . Perseverance leads to success . With hard work, an iron rod can become a needle!”
Ah Zhao: “ . . . ”
Though she is grateful for cotton candy's encouragement . . . but what is iron rod and needle supposed to mean?
After thinking about it, she says to Bai Mu Ye: “Mu Ye, I’m here . When will you have the courage to catch up and take my hand?”
Bai Mu Ye remains quiet .
Sighing, she says: “Okay, I’m hanging up . . . ”
“I love you . ”
Ah Zhao’s eyes widen .
She thinks she just had an illusion .
“I love you so much, Lu Yuanzhao . ” Bai Mu Ye repeats .
Having spoken it, he feels a heavy burden off his heart .
In fact, it wasn't that difficult .
He laughs . “I’m just afraid . You are so charming . You have so many suitors . I never thought you would stay with me . ”
It isn't that embarrassing to admit that he isn’t that confident .
“I’m a man . Why am I more cautious than you are?”
She hears him laugh again . “Now listen to me, Ah Zhao . I miss you . I miss you so much . I want more than a serious relationship . I want to marry you . I want to take part in your future . I want to stay with you forever . ”
Ah Zhao thinks she must have a silly smile now .
On the other end of the call, the man is still speaking: “Wait for me . I’ll prove to the world that I deserve you . ”
She nods hard . “M-hm!”
It is a pity that nobody could see her grin .
“I've never doubted it, Mu Ye . You are my one and only male lead . Always . ”
