But she was also afraid of losing the competition.
If she lost, she wanted to give him everything she could in this lifetime, so there would be fewer regrets.
She held onto Xu Musen's arm, gently grasped his fingers, and pressed her hand against his.
"Xu Musen, are you really no longer interested in me..."
"Silly talk, I said I would take responsibility for you. Some things can't just be done on a whim."
"Taking responsibility doesn't necessarily mean letting the whole world know about it, as long as you take responsibility for me. You aren't going to get me and then abandon me, are you?"
"Of course not."
"Then that settles it, as long as you don't leave me, whether it's sooner or later, it's all the same, isn't it? Sister Mingyue at eighteen, miss this chance and it will be gone..."
Yao Mingyue humphed, her heart no longer that of a coy little girl. Being able to sleep in the arms of the one she liked every day was already the happiest thing.
