Tianyan squinted his eyes, staring at him:
"You... you've actually stopped lying?"
Xu Yuan looked up at her and smiled with a curve in his eyes:
"I just don't want to deceive you."
Tianyan gripped her fingertips tight:
"Is it because you know you can't deceive me now?"
Xu Yuan chuckled softly and reached for her head.
Seeing this, Tianyan's eyes hardened, but ultimately she didn't evade; the familiar touch caused ripples in her heart.
As his fingertips lightly brushed her smooth long hair, tucking it behind her ear, Xu Yuan looked at her closely and said in a lingering, low voice:
"You see, even if I told you some lies, you would believe them, deceiving yourself in the process. Just like now, even if I did something even more outrageous to you using the right methods, you wouldn't resist."
"..."
They looked at each other in silence.
