He Li could tell her feelings were plain for all to see. What she really wanted was for him to know that his presence was becoming more and more meaningful to her, that she couldn't imagine her life without him. Would saying that sound too foolish? Fine, she could put it this way: she wanted to be the little cat at his side, attached to Gu Mingyue. That attachment had suddenly made her wiser, and less flighty. Or maybe it was infatuation? She hated how stale and tired that word sounded.
But she said it anyway. “Gu Mingyue, I'm madly in love with you right now.”
“So you like me too.”
Reunion after a long separation + mature man and woman + made for each other + mutual healing. A young heart's secrets are hard to read, but the wind knows.
