"I’m not that fragile, I just want to wait for him to come back and be the first to see him," Rui Hui said, pressing her knees together and propping her chin forward, looking off into the distance.

One realizes their deep feelings after a long separation.

Now, she doesn’t even mind arguing with Diwu Zexuan, as long as she can see him, she’s happy.

"I’ve never heard you say you like him, but somehow you’ve quietly fallen deeply in love?" Qin Youxuan’s feline eyes flashed as a sharp light passed through.

"Who said I love him, I don’t!" Rui Hui blushed, burying her face in her knees.

A few seconds later, she couldn’t help but peek her head out.

"Xuan, have you confessed to Hanjie?"

"What do you want to ask?" Qin Youxuan raised an eyebrow.

"You answer me first," Rui Hui blinked her enchanting eyes, as if troubled by something for a long time. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Of course, more than once," Qin Youxuan answered candidly.

She herself had forgotten how many times she had confessed.

At the start of their relationship, when they had to split up, when she thought they would never be together again, and even when she thought he might die...

It’s only when one is about to lose something do they realize some things are irreplaceable in life.

Some words, if not said in time, will never be said at all.

"Really?" Rui Hui’s eyes widened, looking at her in disbelief.

Qin Youxuan’s personality didn’t seem like one who would actively confess.

"Why would I lie? Haven’t you confessed to Diwu Zexuan?"

"..."

Rui Hui froze, seemingly trying hard to remember.

Qin Youxuan reached out to pat her shoulder, "If you love someone, be sure to tell them yourself, so they don’t worry and have to guess. If you wait until you want to say it, they might not have the chance to hear it."

Time waits for no one.

"...I have said it."

"Said what?" Qin Youxuan’s eyes lit up, catching a glimpse of the tall figure approaching behind her, and continued asking.

"Said I liked him!" Rui Hui asked, puzzled, turning her head towards her.

Why is Xuan acting more clueless than usual today?

"Like who?" Qin Youxuan smiled.

"Who else could it be? I like Diwu Zexuan!" Rui Hui said matter-of-factly, then sensed something, turning to look behind her.

Diwu Zexuan’s tall, handsome figure was standing on the grass behind her.

Upon hearing her heartfelt confession, his distinctive and handsome face broke into a knowing smile.

Under Rui Hui’s stunned gaze, he gradually stepped towards her.

"Like is like, no need to say it in front of so many people, I fear you’ll get shy." Diwu Zexuan raised a hand to touch her face, his devilish eyes filled with humor.

Clearly ecstatic, yet still feigning modesty!

Upon hearing his words, Rui Hui turned to look to the side, not only Diwu Zexuan was there, but even Dan Hanjie and Jiang Jinchen had arrived.

In the distance, even Ye Zhanxing and Su Yiru had followed over.

Her previous careless remark had been heard by them all!

"Xuan, did you know he was back? You set me up!"

Rui Hui’s face turned crimson and she nuzzled into Diwu Zexuan’s chest, refusing to come out.

Her big belly was much larger than when Diwu Zexuan had left, wedged between them.

Diwu Zexuan’s eyes deepened as he carried her horizontally, turning to stride towards the experimental building.

Qin Youxuan watched Diwu Zexuan’s brisk progress and couldn’t help but tease, "Diwu Zexuan, be gentle and take care of my daughter-in-law!"
