Li Xingye was stunned for a moment, and before he knew it, Chi Wan had turned around and pinned him against a tree trunk.
Chi Wan stared directly into Li Xingye's eyes, her tone coaxing. "Brother Xingye, so, why are you always so concerned about the people around me?"
Li Xingye looked at Chi Wan, who was so close. Her charming face was completely serious, and her eyes were filled with his reflection.
This was a scene he had fantasized about countless times ever since he realized he was in love with Chi Wan.
Li Xingye's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice involuntarily grew hoarse. "Wanwan, you know it's never been about the people around you."
Before Chi Wan could speak again, he reached out, gently tucking a stray lock of her hair behind her ear, and said with the utmost sincerity, "Wanwan, the only one I care about is you. I don't like Xiahou Yu, and I don't like Zhou Huaijin, but I hate myself even more for wanting to completely separate you from them.
