Are you worried?

  "I like Qiqi." He pulled up her right hand, kissing the tip of her finger. If only he could become like when they were young again, shutting out the whole world and having only her existence, then he wouldn't mind becoming that way once more.

  When he said this, his eyes were as clear as water.

  But his movements were full of charm.

  Two conflicting temperaments, yet at this moment, they blended together in an unusual harmony on his body, making him radiate a strange and exotic beauty.

  In her mind, she involuntarily recalled that on the day he and she made an appointment, he was like this too...

  She twisted her wrist, trying to pull out her fingers, but instead provoked him to bite down hard on her fingertips.

  Ouch!

  Two slender eyebrows furrowed together, Xia Qi felt a wave of pain transmitted from her fingertips.

  When her fingers came out of Jun Jianyan's mouth, Xia Qi saw that on the index finger of her right hand, there was a clear bite mark.

  His lips lightly touched the tooth mark, "And you, must also like me."

  Xia Qi felt that at this moment, her fingers were burning to death. But... his kind of liking, after all, was just a childish possessiveness, "What I said is like, refers to loving each other." she said.

  His eyes slightly closed, his lips opened and closed, as if reciting from memory, "Only when you truly fall in love with someone will you have a truly alive feeling. The deeper the love, the more you'll be able to understand what heartache is one day. That kind of pain should be like suffocation, piercing through the heart, etched into the bones."

  Xia Qi was stunned, this was what she had said to him when they were watching a certain romance drama together before. At that time, she was crying in front of the TV, but he just asked her with a calm and puzzled expression why the male lead loved the female lead but still let her go.

  In his view, the male lead's behavior was something he couldn't understand.

  At that time, she said those words to explain, but she didn't think that after more than a decade, she would almost forget herself, yet he could still repeat them so clearly.

  "Is this what you mean by love?" he asked.

  She finally came back to her senses, “......right.”

  "So you want it?"

  She stared at him, momentarily unable to react.

  He pulled up her hand and placed it on his cheek, gently rubbing it. "Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Qiqi, I like you, so I will love you."

  At that moment, she felt her throat suddenly dry.

  ————

  Jun's theory has always been that if he puts in, he must get something back. For example, since he likes her, she must also like him; similarly, when they were young, he could give her all his toys and snacks, so she must also play with him together.

  And now he says he wants to love her, so must she also love him?

  Xia Qi didn't know what Jun Jian was thinking, but one thing was certain - she had just spoken a lot of sense, but it seemed to have fallen on deaf ears, as his thoughts hadn't changed in the slightest.

  The order was placed and the dishes were served. Xia Qi wanted to leave the private room, but Jun Jin Yan held her hand and said, "Stay with me for dinner."

  "I'm still on duty." Xia Qi said.

  He suddenly stood up and walked towards the door of the private room.

  "Where are you going?" She had an inexplicable bad premonition.

  "Go and quit your job for you, so now it's not considered working hours." he replied.
