Chapter 256: Confession of Feelings

Yang Qingyin's sudden and earnest inquiry froze Luo Ziling in his tracks, and he couldn't figure out how to respond.

Yang Qingyin did not ask further, only gazing at him unwaveringly without blinking.

"Actually, I don't even know what to say," Luo Ziling said with a bitter smile, "Since my birth, I haven't experienced parental love, nor have I had contact with other girls my age. The only companion I've had is a grandfather, and all my love came from my respected grandfather. I don't know what parental love feels like, nor do I understand the love between a man and a woman. But..."

He paused when he reached that point.

This "but" made Yang Qingyin's heart tremble, but she did not interrupt, only biting her lip softly, still staring steadily at Luo Ziling.

Luo Ziling didn't immediately continue speaking; instead, he reached out to take Yang Qingyin's hand that was in front of him, gripping it firmly in his own.
