Chi Yue's kiss was like a swift gust of wind, quick to arrive and quick to depart, grazing lightly over Qiao Dongyang's face like a dragonfly skimming water. She then stepped back to her original position, the corners of her lips faintly curling into a smile, as if she had never kissed him at all.
The scent stirred up by the wind lingered on Qiao Dongyang's face, and his usually stern gaze softened in an instant.
"Chi Yue, you are not me. There are some emotions you cannot empathize with."
Chi Yue pursed her lips and paused, "I know. I'm sorry."
Hearing her apologize so earnestly, Qiao Dongyang glanced at her, where would his anger be left? He explained patiently, "I'm not mad at you. I'm just… Chi Yue, you don't understand my family. From your point of view, you might sympathize with Dong Shan. But I will never accept her, do you understand?"
Forever!
Chi Yue stared at him blankly.
Do you understand?
She really wanted to appease him by saying she did.
