Confession (2)

The layer of worry slowly peeled off Haoran's eyes and replaced with a distinct gleam. Its rims tinged soft layer of red, coming from the red moonlight dappling on them.

Though his facial expression was less expressive, Haoran's heart was stirred by her words, that his mind had regarded the girl's words as a sort of confession, a reciprocation of his feelings.

He was unsure if his ears were playing tricks. The only thing he could do was tightened his hug on her, stroking both of delicate and silky hands, like he was soothing his own anxious heart, waiting for those captivating words to spring out of her mouth again.

He lifted his head of the girl's shoulder when he felt her neck moved. A tiny anticipation budded in him.

Thankfully, it was not only his mind painting delusions.
