Yawen gazed at Li Aozi.
After a long while, she finally spoke slowly:
"That's why I can't resist the naive throbbing in my heart..."
She wrapped her arms around Li Aozi's neck and stood on tiptoes, her eyes that were riddled with spider-web patterns faintly blushed pink. She pressed her head against Li Aozi's chest and whispered:
"I'm not staying by your side to please you, but to find the meaning of existence. That's why I've decided to keep chasing after you, to see you as my role model... Does that sound like I've lost a lot of male gaze? More like an Independent Female now?"
"Miss, you're not in Frost Plated now, so why care about what's appropriate there?"
Li Aozi shrugged.
"I don't think you're someone who would be interested in love," Yawen drew circles on Li Aozi's chest with her finger, speaking softly, "but as a Follower, it seems I can always stay by your side."
"Not interested in love?" Li Aozi was taken aback, "Why would you think that?"
