Chen Ziming knew she was hiding her purpose for approaching him again, but he didn't care.
With a smile on his lips, he looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
Seeing that he wasn't suspicious, Su Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued,
"But you are really different from what I imagined."
A charming sweetness appeared on her face, as if she was immersed in the past time spent with him.
"I initially thought you were very cold and unapproachable, but later I found out that you are not only interesting but also gentle."
"I thought you would be a frivolous young master who wasn't serious about relationships, but later I found out that you were truly, exceptionally good to me."
"But it's not just because you were good to me that I like you."
Su Yue deliberately emphasized the tone of "me."
She continued,
"What I truly like about you is your magnanimity and character."
"Especially, you have an attitude of facing danger calmly, and the courage to do what you know is impossible."
"For missions with such high risks, you must know that the outcome is uncertain, yet you choose to go against the current. I think it's not just because of job requirements, but fundamentally, because you hold onto your beliefs."
At this point, Su Yue paused for a moment, her smile becoming sweeter. She said gently,
"So I truly fell in love with you. Initially, I was very afraid that if I loved you, no one else could ever enter my heart. If we separated, I would probably live alone until I died."
"But later, I thought, what does it matter if I live alone until I die?"
"Moreover, with the memories of being with you, even if my body is lonely, my heart will never be barren."
She held his hand tightly, her tear-filled eyes full of sincerity,
"I love you, I love you very, very much."
Chen Ziming had never expected Su Yue to say these things to him.
Such a direct and open, sincere and passionate expression of her love for him.
It turned out that being confessed to by her was such a wonderful feeling.
It turned out she understood him so well.
This was indeed the kind of person he was, just like his liking and waiting for her.
It was never a choice made after weighing pros and cons, but a certainty of doing what he knew was impossible.
Seeing the moving expression on the handsome face in front of her, Su Yue secretly relaxed a bit.
No matter what, he should be able to sleep tonight.
"Yu Yue, we will not separate," Chen Ziming suddenly said, his expression extremely serious.
Su Yue smiled and replied,
"Yes, unless you dump me, I won't separate from you."
"I would never do such a thing," he replied seriously, frowning.
After putting in so much effort to win her over, how could he possibly let her go?
Seeing his eagerness to state his intentions, Su Yue stopped teasing him. Instead, she replied gently and firmly,
"Alright then, we'll never separate. I'll wait for you to marry me and give me the best wedding."
This was the promise he had made to her.
The man smiled, and the next moment he leaned forward, intending to kiss her again, but she cleverly avoided him.
Su Yue already understood why Chen Ziming had stopped their intimacy.
Because it would soothe his heart, but he didn't want to be soothed.
She didn't want to force anything. If she forced it, it would seem disrespectful to the sacrificed police officers, and she would also feel guilty.
For now, she just wanted to be there for him, coaxing him to eat and sleep well, so that his body wouldn't break down.
"It's getting late, time for bed." Seeing his puzzled look, Su Yue patiently explained.
Chen Ziming also realized why Su Yue wasn't letting him kiss her. He lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded.
However, after turning off the lights, he still couldn't help but reach his hand into Su Yue's quilt. He didn't grope, but simply held her hand.
"Still can't sleep?" Su Yue asked softly.
In the darkness, only his soft hum could be heard. But perhaps afraid she would worry, he quickly added, "I'll be able to sleep in a little while."
However, Su Yue didn't want him to wait any longer, fearing that the feeling of dejection might return.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Shall I sing you a lullaby to help you sleep?"
The hand holding hers seemed to tighten slightly, followed by a gentle voice answering, "Okay."
Su Yue didn't remember how many songs she sang, and Chen Ziming didn't remember until where he heard them.
In the end, however, he was truly lulled to sleep by her soft and sweet singing.
