"I've been thinking," she began, fidgeting nervously. "I never thought I could love someone, but you've changed that. Xiao Tian, I…" She hesitated before whispering, "I love you."
Xiao Tian smiled warmly, pulling her into a gentle hug. "I'm grateful for you, Yueling. You've brought so much light into my life."
