The library was quiet, with no one in sight. Surrounded by books and the silence, Dai Zhiqiang's voice sounded louder than what was supposed to be a mere whisper.
"When I'm with you, it feels like I can breathe easier. Even though I know I shouldn't indulge myself in this feeling, I can't help but wish that I could stay by your side. Even a minute more is fine."
Li Caiyi had never witnessed Dai Zhiqiang so vulnerable like this before. His voice lacked his usual composure and sounded fragile.
"Zhiqiang, I'm sorry I didn't notice it sooner. Now that I'm here, we can spend more time together."
"Even when I did nothing but keep you by my side without confirming what our relationship is, you are still patient with me. You are too good for someone like me."
"What are you saying? Don't forget you have helped me a lot too before. If you continue speaking that way again, I'll get mad." Li Caiyi huffed.
