When I do, may I live without regrets

Fei Chuan looked at her solemnly. "I'm not asking you to date me because I like you. It's because...I might regret it later if I don't. Besides, I might find an answer as to why you keep appearing in my mind."

Bei Sangyun was speechless. "Isn't that the same as you liking me?"

Fei Chuan's ears burned red. "No... it's different."

Bei Sangyun blinked. How could it be different?

He said he couldn't stop thinking about her, that he didn't want to see her sad and hurt. He'd rather have her than let others have her. And he wanted to remain by her side—

Bei Sangyun paused. She looked at Fei Chuan in surprise.

The man's face was still burning, but despite his flustered appearance, there was strength and determination in his gaze.

Bei Sangyun's heart thumped fast.

"...Then... do you perhaps... lov—"

Fei Chuan suddenly placed his hand over Bei Sangyun's mouth, preventing her from saying any more words.
