"I really like you. You’re the first person who made my heart flutter. I like your composure and rationality, your intelligence and excellence, the way you handle danger and doubt with such calmness. I even like your ruthless indifference. I’ve never seen a girl as special as you; you are my one and only."

Listen, such a moving confession, even Shi Yue beside him was touched to tears. It was the first time she saw her brother showing such deep emotion.

Unfortunately, he met a woman with a heart of stone. Nianyang showed no inner turmoil and looked at him with an expression like observing a mischievous child, speaking with a trace of helplessness, "See, you say it’s not just a passing interest. You say you’ve never seen a girl as special as me, but the world is so big, there are all kinds of girls. You haven’t seen them now, but when you grow up, you’ll see more, and then you’ll feel it’s nothing special."

"..."

Shi Feng faintly felt like he fell into Nianyang’s verbal trap. With her saying so, he couldn’t find a righteous line to reply.

But to accept it, he clearly wasn’t like that!

"You, Nianyang, you always say I’m young, but I’m only a little over a year younger than you. If I don’t understand love, how can you understand love? How do you know your love for Li Tingyan is true love and not just a passing interest? Isn’t this unfair to me?!"

Ah, she is different; she’s lived two lifetimes!

Combined ages from both lives, she could bloody well be his mother!

Nianyang pursed her lips, her clear eyes seemed to delve into a deep mist, complex and gloomy, "Of course, I’m not like you. You don’t understand the feelings between Ah Yan and me. There’s no factor in this world that can separate us. All the things we’ve been through you simply can’t comprehend. Our feelings have already surpassed life and death, merging into our souls, never to part."

Shi Feng was stunned; when Nianyang spoke these words, her eyes were shining, a side he had never seen before.

Knowing her until now, what he saw the most was her calmness, her intelligence, her fearless attitude facing life and death, deeply attracting him.

He thought a quiet girl like her wouldn’t be shy, laugh heartily, or feel happiness and sweetness like other girls.

It turns out he was wrong. She did have that side, but it only showed in front of Li Tingyan.

Shi Feng was jealous, so jealous his heart shattered.

"In the end, you just look down on me. If you look down on me, fine, but you want to brainwash me into thinking I don’t like you, this woman truly is too cruel!"

Shi Feng seemed like a child who couldn’t get candy, his tears on the verge of falling. His fervent affection received no response, it was really heartbreaking.

Nianyang sighed softly, "Second Young Master Shi, you keep saying you like me, but you clearly don’t understand me. You say I’m cruel, indeed I am, but if it weren’t for you moving me, do you think I would sit here, have heart-to-heart talks, and guide you?"

Shi Feng was shocked, sniffed, and with a hint of joy said, "So, you’re not completely indifferent to me, right? My mom says emotion needs nurturing. The fact you can have feelings for me means there’s hope, why can’t you give me a chance?"
