"These are not the main issues; it’s his own lack of awareness."
"You lack awareness too."
He didn’t understand, "How do I lack awareness?"
"Just like with me, when we first met, we were strangers, yet you made a move on me. Even if my behavior tempted you, you still took the bait. If another woman comes along, wouldn’t you do the same?"
Long Yubei was somewhat at a loss for words, his eyes clear, "What do you think I am, that just because a woman undresses in front of me, I must take advantage? It was an accident with you, a rare loss of control. Once I’ve touched you, I won’t touch anyone else. I have a mental cleanliness, both towards you and myself."
"And what if you meet a woman you love in the future?" Gu Lili didn’t believe his nonsense, "You won’t touch her?"
"Let’s talk about it when it happens."
She asked again, "What if the woman you love is no longer a virgin, wouldn’t you still touch her? Such crap about mental cleanliness merely varies from person to person, different people have different standards. All this mental cleanliness crumbles at the moment you meet someone you love. When we first met, you didn’t know whether I was a virgin or not, and you didn’t love me, but didn’t you still go for it? Don’t contradict yourself, or else you’ll swell your own face with the things you’ve done."
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Gu Lili chuckled, "Out of words? Don’t speak so absolutely. When you eventually meet a woman who makes your heart flutter, you’ll see how ridiculous it was to say you wouldn’t touch anyone else after me."
Long Yubei stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, Gu Lili glanced at him sideways, "Start getting physical when you’re losing the argument?"
"What if you are the woman who makes my heart flutter? I won’t touch anyone else then, right?"
Gu Lili braked hard, her eyes wide, "What did you say?"
"You have feelings for me?"
Gu Lili gave him a look, "If doesn’t exist, don’t talk to me about ifs."
"Weren’t you the one who said you’ll try to fall in love with me and let me fall in love with you?" Long Yubei cautiously asked, "Have you given up?"
"Why should I be the only one making blind efforts?" She huffed, "I was naive a few months ago when I said that, thinking that effort alone could achieve it, but I don’t think so anymore, some things can’t be achieved just by hard work."
"You..." she hesitated, "Took the wrong medicine?"
"I don’t want to touch other women in the future, and I don’t want other men to touch you, no matter how hasty our first time was, but now I’m serious."
Gu Lili suddenly heard him say this, somewhat flattered, because it didn’t seem like something he would say.
"Why so serious all of a sudden?"
Long Yubei’s gaze was deep, "Because I want to spend a lifetime with you ."
Gu Lili couldn’t contain her excitement, it was a true surprise. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ⓝovelFire.net
She gripped the steering wheel tightly, feeling overwhelmed with emotions.
He had never fantasized about a future with her until now, saying he wants to spend a lifetime with her, could she say that what she had been doing all along had no effect?
Perhaps her place in his heart was still insignificant, but this was already a good sign.
"Why aren’t you saying anything?"
Gu Lili lunged at him, holding him tightly, "I’m really happy you could say such words to me."
