"Just pretend it's the last time... Use hypnosis to tell me your true thoughts, to say everything... everything you want to tell me..."

Looking at the girl before him, her face covered in tears, Yan Huan spoke softly.

Then, he gently released Ye Shiyu's wrist, which was holding the phone.

He returned it, back to Ye Shiyu's front, aiming it at himself.

"滴滴... 嗒嗒..."

And there, Ye Shiyu gripping the phone tightly, was crying.

She lowered her head, silent for a long while...

Finally, she trembled, and with difficulty, pushed the phone from her face bit by bit.

The phone, once more, slightly moved away from her face...

But she was so timid, so fearful, that even using all her strength, she could only push the phone away, revealing half of her face.

Therefore, the girl before him...

Half of her face was sincere, red-eyed and tearful, timid yet brave.

The other half was the boy's equally sincere face reflected in the phone.

"呜..."

Under the gaze of the once terrifying phone, the boy listened intently, evading nothing, to the girl's last hypnosis.

Against the sea breeze and early clear sky, he heard Ye Shiyu trembling as she commanded him in a hypnotic tone,

"Please, Xiao Huan... also... grant me happiness..."

These few words were shorter than any previous hypnotic command.

Yet, it seemed...

To mean the same as every hypnotic command.

Naturally, the phone was out of power and couldn't shine brightly to initiate hypnosis.

But at this moment, the boy seemed as if he was still affected.

He bit his lip, unable to hold back, lowered his head, and kissed the lips of the girl before him.

"啵!"

Behind him, the phone call was still not hung up...

Echoes of the dialing tone resounded from it. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

[You and I, amidst the crowd, trying to hold your hand tightly]

[Please don't shake me off, I won't let you go]

[Perhaps warmth lingered too long, not moving you when I answered you]

Feeling the boy close, Ye Shiyu's body slightly trembled.

Then, her tearful eyes gradually became blurred.

Her hand tightly grasping the phone gradually fell, finally powerlessly dropping the phone to the ground.

Instead, she tightly grasped Yan Huan's fingers.

[You finally speak out, my paranoia weighs a bit heavy]

[Perhaps due to personality, I don't understand love's perspective on love]

[Won't let you wait too long, won't let you feel uncomfortable, please allow me to take you away]

Ye Shiyu's kiss possessed a strong sense of possession...

In the past, Yan Huan always felt a kind of suffocation from it.

But up until today, did he just discover...

Ye Shiyu's kiss seemed to merely be fear of him leaving.

Once Yan Huan embraced her tightly, moving forward, she would feel at ease, even her breath would stabilize.

"呜..."

At this moment, myriad past scenes simultaneously flowed through Ye Shiyu's mind.

Among them was a moment from that night in the basement, what Yan Huan had said to her.

Just thinking about it seemed to make her tongue tremble slightly.

[You finally speak out, your feelings for me are also deep]

[Won't change due to my odd personality]

[This time, you can't leave, I won't let go]

The slightly trembling body seemed to transmit memories to Yan Huan...

He seemed to sense her emotions and couldn't help but gently pat her back.

And behind, the fallen phone finally connected, transmitting Sakuragi Hitomi's voice,

"Hello, who is this?"

But at this moment, Yan Huan and Ye Shiyu were too far from the phone to hear Sakuragi Hitomi's faint voice.

Over there, below the Ye International Building, An Le was already completely furious, settling accounts for Tong Yingying's faults.

Sakuragi Hitomi was originally vexed at not finding Yan Huan and took an inexplicable prank call, red-faced.

Only Aria standing at the original spot blinked, her golden hair gradually dimming,

"Why does it feel... off..."

[How long until you fall for me?]

[I've already fallen for you, can't move away]

[Want to hold your hand, want to kiss your forehead, I've been silent too long]

At this moment, inside Ye International Building, everything returned to normal.

Ye Lan lay prostrate on the ground, her body slightly trembling.

Then, she gradually lifted her head, looking around and muttering,

"Shiyu... Shiyu?"

But upon raising her head, apart from the mess in the surrounding machine room, not a trace of her daughter's presence could be seen.

Thus, Ye Lan struggled to stand and walked towards Ye Shiyu's office.

"咔哒..."

The door slowly opened, inside equally quiet.

On Ye Shiyu's desk, her work computer's screen glowed.

Inside was astonishingly the first photo taken when Yan Huan came to Ye Lan's house and they visited the Aquarium.

Below, was Ye Shiyu's written name and two words,

"Happiness"

[This sentence "I love you", speak out]

[I will use this life, to watch over you]

[Unable to give emotion, don't break up with me]

[Writing all emotions as stories we'll walk together]

At this moment, on the beach, after the long kiss, their lips finally parted.

Immediately after, Ye Shiyu's body inevitably softened slightly, panting as she leaned against Yan Huan's shoulder.

Seeing her reaction, Yan Huan couldn't suppress reaching out his hand, effortlessly pushing Ye Shiyu directly down onto the beach.

"呜..."

On the still moist beach, her black hair spread out, like blooming black roses...

Yet at this moment, Ye Shiyu had a slightly flushed face, wide eyes, and even her lips trembled slightly, like a frightened little animal.

Watching the increasingly dangerous aura of Yan Huan, Ye Shiyu seemed to realize something, hurriedly shaking her head.

While shaking her head and dodging, her body also trembled slightly, only begging,

"Xiao Huan... wait... wait... I'm... I'm scared..."

"..."

Hearing this, Yan Huan's expression darkened further.

After intimate contact with several girls, An Le and Tong Yingying weren't even mentioned, even Sakuragi Hitomi never showed such a scared expression.

Only...

Ye Shiyu...

This didn't deter Yan Huan, instead making his demeanor even more dangerous.

The next second, his gaze darkened unconsciously.

His veins popped all over his body, picking Ye Shiyu up from the beach and heading towards the vast hotel behind,

"呜..."

Then, Yan Huan whispered softly beside the trembling Ye Shiyu's ear,

"Be good, Sister Shiyu, don't be scared..."

"呜..."
