But Lu Xize spoke again, "Besides, I won't leave you all alone in this world."
Chu Yao froze, momentarily unsure what to make of the feeling swelling in her heart.
It wasn't that Lu Xize was incapable of saying sweet things to her, but this was the first time Chu Yao had ever heard words like these.
Many sweet nothings were just for a moment's bliss, but now, Chu Yao felt like she had heard a promise for their entire lives.
She pressed her lips together, her hand clutching his shirt twisting slightly. "We're talking about serious matters. Behave yourself."
Chu Yao didn't know how to respond. Noticing they had gone off-topic again, she naturally tried to steer the conversation back.
Lu Xize reached out to ruffle her hair and chuckled. "Took a shower?"
Huh?
'What does that mean? Why bring that up all of a sudden?'
Though she didn't understand why, Chu Yao nodded honestly. "Mhm."
'You're the one who told me to take one, after all.'
"Such a good girl."
