“Believe me! This is all in the past. As long as you don’t care about others’ opinions, who you want to be and what kind of soul you want to have is your own decision, and I believe…”
She released one hand and gently caressed his face, “You have a beautiful soul. You don’t need to care about your appearance. You are far more attractive than many people.”
Pu Cang Jie looked at her, deeply moved.
A beautiful soul? No one had ever said that to him before.
He had stunning looks, a noble and elegant demeanor, and extraordinary abilities… These praises that would make people almost want to vomit had never moved him before, but…
The words “You have a beautiful soul” made him feel like he was suddenly seeing a golden, radiant sunlight spreading across thousands of miles after being in a deep, dark valley. For a moment, he felt like he had arrived in heaven.
All along, he had been living according to what he thought was a very correct value system, never thinking about what he was actually doing. But when he received the suicide note from that woman last year, he was greatly impacted, feeling that his entire life perspective had been completely overturned, until he heard her words now.
Like parched earth suddenly encountering sweet and fragrant rain, he understood!
It turns out that life is about waiting for someone who understands him, who even affirms his existence more than he himself does!
“Well… anyway…” Seeing him remain silent, Shang Ke Xin, who had been looking at him seriously, suddenly blushed, her heart beating uncontrollably.
His pitch-black eyes made her mind go blank. She suddenly realized… Oh my! What was she just saying? Those words… sounded like a confession!
How embarrassing!
She shyly let go of his hand, turned her face away, and took a deep breath to calm the inexplicable flutter in her heart. Then she spoke again: “You don’t need to worry about yourself. Let’s… let’s just have a good time today!”
“Thank you,”
A low, hoarse voice emerged from beside her. For the first time, his rough, large hand reached out to hold her delicate hand without waiting for her to initiate.
His hand was warm and thick, and a heart-pounding heat flowed from their joined hands.
She turned to look at him in surprise.
