A cold breeze passed by. The short silence reigned.
Linfeng's hands were still held by Xiong Zhi.
Xiong Zhi was still unmoving like a mountain. Every word she said was stern and unbreakable. It was carried by the night breeze and it got nailed at the moon.
Linfeng was flabbergasted.
This confession.
'How could a girl confess like this?! Or make this kind of promise!'
Linfeng's face turned red as a tomato.
Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.
His heart was racing. So Xiong Zhi's heart.
She was nervous that Linfeng would reject her outright.
"H-how! How could you say those things?! Y-you have to hold back when you say those kinds of things! I'm a grown man after all! And! You should not say those things to anyone! Especially to a man!" Linfeng lectured her first.
His face, his ears, and neck were so red. He was stuttering as he shouted to her, albeit gently.
Xiong Zhi answered back.
