From the corner of her eyes, Shi Ailin noticed Luo Tian sprinting towards her. He sat next to her with a grin on his face. "Ailin," he said. "I made this for you."
He lifted a bracelet made of seashells, offering it to her. Shi Ailin's eyes widened. "I…thank you," she said. Luo Tian then grasped one of her hands, slipping the bracelet on her wrist. "I've been collecting them since we arrived," he said.
Shi Ailin's lips parted. "Why?"
He faced her deep with his tawny eyes. "I want to court you, but only if you let me."
"I—" she replied, ready to reject him.
"Don't reject me. Not now. I know you don't feel anything for me right now, and that's okay. But I wanted to let you know what my intentions are. I have feelings for you, Ailin. It never stopped."
Shi Ailin furrowed her brows. She didn't understand him! Why the hell did he leave her years ago, then?
