Su Junxin looked down at him, suddenly speechless.

She could not figure out the reason behind Qin You's emotional shift so suddenly, yet an unconscious surge of pity in her chest made the decision for her.

He smiled, pulled her hand to his lips, and reverently kissed it.

"This place will always belong to me, right?" he asked softly.

She thought for a moment, then shook her head.
