He strode in—
Lin Na had known he was coming, but to pretend she was earnestly reading, she didn't look up.
Qiao Chutian sat down opposite her and called out in a low voice, "Nana..."
Lin Na put down the book, looked up, and smiled at him, her voice tender, "Chutian, you're here?"
"Mhm."
Qiao Chutian glanced at the book she was reading, "What has captured your attention so deeply?"
"The Little Prince."
Lin Na showed him the cover and said with a slightly sad tone, "The Little Prince leaves his rose to travel to other planets. He meets a fox that waits for love and sees many things. In the end, he realizes that the rose is his true love, and that he should return to her side..."
After finishing, she looked at him with eyes brimming with sorrow and sentimentality, "Chutian, will I be your rose?"
Qiao Chutian's heart softened, and he avoided her gaze, "I am not the Little Prince."
"But you are my Little Prince."
Lin Na reached out to grasp his hand resting on the table.
