441 One Man's Gain, Another Man's Loss

"Our struggles are all over, Chenglei", Xing's hand hugging Chenglei's neck tightened and her voice changed to whisper. "Finally!"

"Isn't the last trial not over yet?", he asked. From what she told him it would be over only when he is able to confess to her.

"Ah... It doesn't matter. I know you love me. And you know that I love you. And there is no time limit... So it is not that important...", she looked at him who was a bit out of sorts. But she was happy.

"I love you, Chenglei", Xing placed her forehead over his and said. "Did you hear me?"

"Yes", his warm breath fell on her lips and she could feel his bliss as he could hear her confession.

"Finally... Do you know this is the thousand and seventy first time I'm telling you this after I met you again in the desert.? I'm glad", she kissed his cheek and her lips lingered there.

"I'm sorry", he still couldn't say it and he felt sad.
