Wu Xiufan's words, spoken with a mixture of possessiveness and protectiveness, sent a shiver down Alex's spine. The declaration, so unexpected, so intimate, left him breathless.
"In this life, you are mine," Wu Xiufan repeated, his voice low and husky. The words echoed in Alex's mind, a declaration of ownership that was both terrifying and exhilarating.
Alex's heart pounded in his chest. He had never felt this way before, a connection that was so deep, so intense. It was a feeling he couldn't understand, a puzzle he couldn't solve.
"I..." he stammered, his voice barely a whisper. He didn't know how to respond, how to express the emotions swirling within him.
Wu Xiufan smiled, a gentle, understanding smile. "It's okay," he said. "You don't have to say anything."
Alex nodded, his heart heavy. He knew that this was a moment of truth, a decision that would change the course of their lives.
