Chapter 57: The Whole World Will Be Envious
In the end, Ai Xin’Er suddenly released her grip on Shen Shi’s arm, but then, her slender arms, usually used only for playing the piano, wrapped around Shen Shi’s neck like a boneless snake, her entire passionate body fully merging into his embrace.
She gazed at Shen Shi, dazed and mesmerized, from such a close distance.
"It’s just, this thought has just changed!" Her tone suddenly intensified, her eyes dreamy, and hot breaths slowly exhaled from her red lips, "Think of me as having an admiration for strong personalities, or as being scheming, whichever, I’ve already wrapped myself around you. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for stepping on a multicolored auspicious cloud and showing up before me when I hadn’t forgotten you yet... Shen Shi, I like you... maybe I’ve liked you for a long time already."
Yes, Shen Shi didn’t hear wrong.
Right in this unremarkable restaurant, amidst the noisy clamor, Ai Xin’Er confessed her love.
No flowers, no applause.
Only emotion in its most intense form.
At this moment, Shen Shi felt that in what might have become a very extended life, another moment worth remembering had been added.
Ai Xin’Er’s confession was completely out of character from her usual image.
Neither bold nor intellectual.
