Mu Lan's heart was in chaos, and she didn't even know what she wanted to say. She placed her hand on the cold stair railing, hoping it would help her calm down.
But it was of no use; all it took was a gentle call from Huo Tingxiao, and her heart trembled.
"Huo Tingxiao, can you stop pressuring me?"
She tried to keep her voice steady, and suddenly Huo Tingxiao wrapped Mu Lan in his arms.
Mu Lan was startled at first and instinctively struggled, but the tighter he held her, the less she could break free. Her arms fell heavily by her sides, and she stopped trying to struggle.
Forget it, if he liked to hug, let him hug.
Soon after, a deep and husky voice came from above her head.
"I won't pressure you, but you have to promise me not to avoid me.
I know it might be difficult for you to believe that I love you all at once.
But... at least give me a chance, and give yourself a chance too.
