Xu Musen looked at her and said, "I've said it, we can be childhood sweethearts, friends, neighbors, but just forget about romance, we're not suited for that."
Yao Mingyue listened, her smile unchanged, nostalgia in her eyes: "Do you still remember how others tried to dissuade you when you confessed to me, what you thought back then, I have the same thoughts now."
Back then, Xu Musen was famously a lovestruck fool in the whole school; many advised him not to dream of a toad lusting after a swan's flesh.
But he was obsessed as if possessed by something, nothing could change his mind; a typical case of never turning back until hitting the south wall, no, not even if he died against it.
"I'm the toad, you're the white swan, don't degrade yourself, there's no future for us."
Xu Musen shook his head, let bygones be bygones.
But Yao Mingyue took a step forward, her eyes shimmering
"But in my eyes, you've never been a toad. If anything, you are my most handsome Frog Prince."
