"Then what if it was during the time you were writing 'Tombstone Inscription' when I asked you?" Qi Yi had already adjusted his mood.
"If you had asked me that question three years ago, I would have definitely said yes at that time.
While writing that blog post, I deeply felt that if it wasn't for my own self-deception, I should have realized that I had fallen in love with you from the start.
I just never wanted to believe that someone like you could truly fall for me as I was then.
Your love made me feel like I was walking on thin ice.
I was afraid it was another kind of unprecedented targeting method.
I was afraid of getting hurt, so I never dared to admit that I had truly fallen for you."
Yan Yan continued to seriously answer Qi Yi's question.
"Thank you." Qi Yi's thank you was loaded with too much of the past.
Yan Yan's recent reply had smoothed over the vicious wound left when they broke up, and Yan Yan had said she had never fallen in love with him.
