Chapter 114: The chance

YIREN'S POV

"Yes, it was 'supposed' to be everything you said just now... but the truth is, we've crossed beyond that, Bunny. What now? Run from each other? Hide?"

His words crashing through the walls I've tried so hard to keep intact. None of us can deny it anymore—whatever this is between us is far from casual.

When I'm with him, time slips by like a blink of an eye. But when he's away, every goddamn second feels like an eternity.

Like today. When I didn't get to go home, I went crazy, just for not being near him. It feels like I'm suffocating, trying to keep my emotions in check when every fiber of my being is screaming to let go.

His eyes searching mine with a look that says everything. This spark between us? It's not one-sided.

'Yiren, if it wasn't for your fucked-up genes, what would you have done?' My inner self questions, and the answer comes without hesitation.
