He would never have imagined that, over these five years, he would gradually become so captivated by her charm that he couldn’t escape.

Later, he goes with her to take part in a tea ceremony competition.
“Yueyue... do you know? You’re truly amazing.
“Without even realizing it... you’ve stolen my heart...”
He tentatively lowers his head, bringing his lips closer to hers...
But Lin Yue tilts her head to the right!
