Shen Yuan was squarely looking into Bai Tingfeng's eyes when the latter dropped the bomb straight to his face. The celestial fox spirit was shaken to his core.
Does it really have to be this blatant, Bai Tingfeng?
That's what he meant to respond when the alpha shamelessly demanded him to say, "I love you." He wanted to pass it off as a joke since the beating of his stupid heart was starting to become erratic. Like before, the celestial fox spirit is still prone to shock when it comes to emotional topics, especially if the subject is his emotions.
Shen Yuan meant to make the pressing scene comedic, but Bai Tingfeng's grip on their earlier romantic atmosphere was hard and firm. He gives the omega a lovelorn and expectant gaze that goes straight to the weak-hearted omega's heart.
Fuck it! Shen Yuan internally cursed. The proud celestial fox spirit tucked his flashy tails in his mind and bit his lips.
