Gentle, affectionate boy who likes to have his hair stroked | Meng Jing × Clear-headed, adorable, straightforward, rational homebody
Though a ship may be lonely, the dream of love lets her find a warm harbor in the vast ocean, in a future that may remain lonely forever.
It gives her the courage to accept love.
Her heartbeat now is nothing like the panicked flutter of her youth. It is steady, yet still polite.
Youth is a poem, life is a flask of strong liquor, and love is a dream.
Would you choose strong liquor, or a deep, exhilarating dream?
Or perhaps a drunken dream after a drink...
Or maybe, to be soberly drunk, and to love poetically.
Lin Xiaozhou chose to dream with her eyes open.
And she traded the strong liquor for rich tea, because life needs to simmer slowly over a gentle flame.
She turned with a smile and took a step back.
“So, I love you.”
Lin Xiaozhou's pupils widened in that instant. Those three words echoed in her ears.
She had never experienced such a direct expression of affection.
Yet it touched a longing deep within her. She, too, hoped to receive someone's undivided affection and the most direct, most passionate love.
Before she could react, Meng Jing drew her into his arms and held her tight, afraid she might slip away the moment he let his guard down...
The beginning of every tangled “ill-fated bond,” and the certainty of loving and being loved.
