An Excuse to Embrace You

Su Yang gazed at Lu Youyi who was looking back at him with a lustful gaze.

"If you're doing this just to thank me, you don't have to push yourself. I don't need you to thank me in such a manner," said Su Yang.

"T-That's not it!" Lu Youyi quickly responded once she realized that she'd gone around this the wrong way, and she continued, "It's just that… I wanted an excuse to embrace you… I'm sorry…"

Then she continued, "You're not only my savior but I also enjoyed every moment I had with you for the past few days, and I'd heard about your background from my parents. Once you leave this place, you'll return to the Eastern Continent, right? I just wanted a memorable moment with you before you leave this place…"

"..."

The room turned silent, and after a good minute of silence, Su Yang said, "I'll return in a few hours to let your body rest."

"D-Does that mean…" Lu Youyi looked at him with surprise on her face.
