Chapter 699: Cases

Yu Sicong reached out, gently cupping Fu Jian's face.

"Because I'm done running. I'll prove it to you every day, as long as it takes."

For a moment, they just stood there, the tension between them thick. Then, slowly, Fu Jian leaned into Yu Sicong's touch, letting his guard down just a little.

"You better mean it," Fu Jian whispered.

Yu Sicong's smile widened, and he leaned in, their foreheads touching. "I do."

After staying like that for a while, Fu Jian suddenly asked,

"Did you love me all along?"

Yu Sicong sheepishly admitted,

"I did, but I wasn't sure, so I kept on...waiting...to confirm my...feelings for you."

Fu Jian's eyes narrowed.

Yu Sicong gulped and realized he had treaded in dangerous territory.

"Oh? So now your feelings have been confirmed? After seeing me suffer, you are suddenly sure of your feelings?"
