"I'm just... a little scared."
"Don't be afraid." Chi Cheng's voice was as gentle as a breeze, "It will get better, trust me."
An Ran held Chi Cheng's hand more tightly, words of gratitude almost slipping out.
"You want to thank me again, don't you?" Chi Cheng looked down at the girl in his arms, "I've told you, don't say thank you, I prefer you to say——"
Chi Cheng paused his voice.
His thin lips pressed against her ear, "I love you."
It was unclear if he did it intentionally or unintentionally.
Clearly a single sentence, yet he divided it like this.
An Ran looked at him in amazement, her heart pounding.
Chi Cheng: "Try saying it once."
"I..." An Ran lowered her head, "I love, love..."
She still couldn't say it.
Too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Like you, and I love you.
Both are three words, but the weight is completely different...
"You little fool." Chi Cheng rubbed her little head again, "You can slowly get used to these three words."
