"Don't take it off. It is me. It will protect you," Zhao Nuanyue said softly, her breath a fragrant whisper right in front of Hua Yusen.
Hua Yusen gazed at Zhao Nuanyue with his bright eyes, fighting the urge to pull her into an embrace. Instead, he leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, murmuring, "Alright. I'll wear it, and it will be like you're always by my side."
Zhao Nuanyue's heart filled with anticipation, but she held back, restraining the impulse.
Just before she could get lost in his gaze, she took two steps back and simply looked at him.
And Hua Yusen simply looked back at her.
They both smiled. In that moment, they were happy. At the very least, they could still see each other smile.
After a long moment, Hua Yusen remembered he had to go check on the backyard.
