Qingran blinked, caught off-guard by the sudden softness in his tone. It wasn't like he hadn't flirted before.
Feng Yizhou was nothing if not relentless when it came to expressing his feelings,but this was different.
Quieter. No sly grin, no teasing lilt. Just sincerity.
Her fingers twitched in his grip, but she didn't pull away. "You're serious?"
He nodded, thumb brushing lightly over the back of her hand. "I thought I was going to lose contact with you for a moment." His voice dipped lower. "I know you're strong. You've always been. But I still worry, you always find yourself in the eye of the storm."
Qingran ears reddened as she pulled away, not because of what Feng Yizhou said but the way he looked at her.
Eyes never lie.
