"You… want to be in a relationship with me?" He asked her.
The expression on his face looked shattered, his voice stiff and sounded uncertain. He looked at her as if he couldn't quite believe what she had just said to him.
"Is it really hard for you to believe that I like you?" Xiao Rufeng returned to his side and rested her head on his chest, feeling him stiffen at the contact. "You know this isn't easy for me, too."
Yan Xiuchen said nothing. He'd once said he liked her, but would that be enough to pursue a relationship with her?
He lifted a hand and touched her head, getting Xiao Rufeng's attention. She pulled away and looked at him nervously. Xiao Rufeng knew that she needed to tread with care when it came to him. Yan Xiuchen obviously didn't have enough confidence in himself, believing that no one could see past his face.
He brushed her hair off her shoulder and looked at her straight in the eyes.
