Is It Really That Hard to Say You Love Me?!

The best thing was meeting the right person in the bravest days of my life.

"You're a girl, after all. Why are you always trying so hard to act tough?"

"Shu Qiaoyan, that's not being strong and brave. You're just being stubborn! Can't you lean on me once in a while?"

"Don't most girls know how to act cute? Why don't you try learning..."

At first, she thought she'd met a shameless, lecherous scoundrel. Later, she realized he was just a prickly, proud guy who refused to admit how he felt.

Sometimes, the whole world treated him like a demon, but she knew very well... he was gentler than anyone else.

Only later did she realize that he would let only her order him around and swing her fists at him. He would let only her stay in his world, forever.

"Stay right here in my heart. You're not allowed to go anywhere!"

"What are you apologizing for? If my woman does something wrong, she's still right."

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I love you."
