Chapter 556: Rose Vesper's Fear (Chapter 1, 4000 words)

The words lightly floated from Asina's lips, striking Qin Chu with a powerful impact. He never even dreamed that he would hear these words from Asina in his lifetime.

Even in their first life, when Asina deliberately tried to befriend him and even tempted him, she never spoke such words.

For a moment, Qin Chu couldn't comprehend what kind of thoughts were brewing in his heart. He just quietly gazed into Asina's hazel eyes as if trying to see through to her true thoughts.

Asina's response was extraordinarily candid, meeting Qin Chu's gaze without avoiding it, though her face still carried a slight crimson shyness.

In Asina's pupils, all Qin Chu could sense was tenderness.

Before, they had always been using each other, wary of each other.

This was perhaps the first time Asina faced Qin Chu with honesty... in another significant sense.
