He Said He Would Never Let Her Down

"That story is quite elaborate. Keep going," Shu Pan said, her tone dripping with skepticism. Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe it.

"I don't have any immediate proof to convince you, but Panpan, it's the truth. I haven't betrayed you," Gu Shaoting said, his handsome face serious and sincere.

"Maybe I'd believe you more if you lied differently," Shu Pan's voice carried a note of desolation.

Gu Shaoting said nothing more. He knew words were useless now; he could only prove himself through actions.

"Panpan, I promised I would never let you down."

"It's easy to make promises at the moment, but what about for a lifetime?" Shu Pan took a deep breath.

Her eyes were already slightly moist. She wondered if the persistence she had maintained would ever be reciprocated.

"A lifetime is something I can commit to," Gu Shaoting said with determination.

Tears glistened in Shu Pan's eyes, blurring her vision.
