Song Qingchun was stunned into disbelief. She stared back into Su Zhinian's eyes and could see the endless fireworks reflected in them. Su Zhinian had shed his usual aloofness. He was like a handsome and kind prince, elegance yet approachable. Beneath his inhumanely-handsome exterior laid a warm beating heart, a gentleness that Song Qingchun had not noticed in him softened the man's expression. Even his voice that repeated the proclamation was much more affable than usual. "Qingchun, I adore you…"
As he said so, his long and curly lashes flickered slightly. With the sound of fireworks exploding in her ears, he continued to say, "…I have adored you all through my youth."
The sound around her seemed to have been sucked away in that moment. Song Qingchun felt the world suddenly became very quiet. She already knew that he like her, but with him standing before her and hearing it from his lips, she was touched and excited. She felt her heartstrings being pulled along.
