The sunset poured down from the sky, dyeing the grass with a gentle orange-red color, and even the green leaves swaying in the breeze were reflected in mottled light and shadow.
Shen Shuci walked up to Lu Qi step by step and stopped. He was more than half a head taller than Lu Qi. He leaned down slightly at this moment, his eyes like a gentle net, covering the person in front of him in his shadow.
He stared directly at Lu Qi and spoke softly:
"Lu Qi. Actually, I like you, and I have for a long time."
His voice was low, with an unmistakable seriousness: "I don't like your cute appearance, nor am I greedy for your beautiful body. What I like is you, your soul. It's your appearance that clearly rejects people thousands of miles away, but yet hides your lively spirit."
Shen Shuci paused, leaned slightly, and got closer. A trace of unnoticeable nervousness flashed in his eyes: "I have actually liked you for a long time, but I just didn't dare to say it. I'm afraid that once I make it clear, you will push me away immediately... So I can only pretend to be casual and want to get closer to you slowly."
He took a deep breath, as if he had exhausted all his courage: "So, agree to be my boyfriend, okay?"
The evening breeze blew by, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Lu Qi turned his head sharply, trying to hide the sudden redness of his ears. He hesitated for a long time before squeezing out a sentence through his teeth: "You, you, don't talk nonsense..."
But seeing the light in Shen Shuci's eyes gradually dimming, Lu Qi suddenly turned back. He bit his lower lip, as if he was afraid that the person in front of him would be really sad, and finally spoke in a low voice:
"... Actually, I have also liked you for a long time. From the first moment I saw you."
He lowered his eyes and said in a low but clear voice: "I really thought before that I was just interested in your goodness and wanted to thank you. Later I realized... This is love."
