Li Yue chuckled, and for the first time, a blush rose visibly on her face, softening her expression in a way that made the moment feel unexpectedly real. "Okay," she said, her tone light but deliberate. "So, when I mention how I'm imagining this, then you both do it, deal?" she asked, her gaze moving between them as though testing their resolve.
"Sure," Xiao Feng answered immediately. Inside, his thoughts were anything but calm, his pulse raced, his breath shallow, every nerve taut as if bracing for something he couldn't fully prepare for.
Yuan, however, said nothing at all.
"Yuan?" Li Yue turned to him, her brows knitting together with confusion, "What's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing, just…" He paused, choosing his words carefully. "This is a very sacred moment for me, and I can't even believe it's about to happen. Just taking a moment to prepare myself mentally."
