The snowflakes seemed to land on the softest spots in their hearts and melt into bittersweet vapor.
Their pod had risen to the highest point of the wheel, where it was all nice and quiet. All they could hear were their thumping hearts, which were fluttering in this narrow space.
An Xiaxia was completely baffled.
Sheng Yize caressed the tips of her fingers — they were round and had a pink hue to them.
He said, "Xiaxia, you know what? Although you find me so annoying, I still like you very much.
"I must have lost my mind to have fallen in love with you.
"Since you got me into this, you have to stop running away from me. Don't you know my feelings better than anyone else?"
At that moment, the earth seemed to stop turning and her heart skipped a beat.
As their pod made its way down as slow as a snail, An Xiaxia felt her heart rate pick up.
She could hear her shaky voice. "Sheng Yize, are you confessing your love for me?"
