Confession
Bai Chen walked Long Xu In a rather large distance from the house, then he stopped.
Where he stopped was the entrance of a small public park.
“B…Bai Chen.” As if Long Xu In had just awakened from her previous reverie, she called out Bai Chen’s name softly with her trembling voice. She did not know that whether it was excitement or embarrassment that made it quiver.
Bai Chen released her hand. He looked at Long Xu In’s beautiful, reddened face.
“Thank you, Bai Chen.”
Long Xu In inhaled deeply to calm herself down. Come to think of it, maybe Bai Chen had said that only because he did not want her to lose face after announcing that he was her boyfriend.
“It’s okay. It was nothing.” Bai Chen waved his hand a little. He thought that maybe Long Xu In thanked him because he’d helped save her from the arranged marriage.
For him, it was actually not ‘nothing’ unlike what he’d said. It had almost taken his life.
