He was, after all, a young man experiencing the first stirrings of love. No matter how sharp or perceptive, he stood no chance against Shen Huoshui's irresistible mix of brazen flirting and subtle teasing.
"…You really like me that much?" His gaze was intense, his long lashes trembling slightly as he locked his eyes on her fox-like ones.
His voice was low and crisp, his eyes more serious than she had ever seen them.
"I have a lot of flaws."
"I happen to like flaws." The girl was completely unconcerned. "You expect me to marry some perfect, robotic saint?"
Words like "marry" were sensitive topics at their age.
Spoken seriously, they conveyed sincerity. Spoken casually, they sounded frivolous.
She may have said it casually, but he took it to heart.
His ears immediately burned, turning as red as tempting petals. An unreadable emotion flickered across his delicate features, and he couldn't stop the corners of his thin lips from curling up.
'I'm really going crazy.'
