Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 192

Was this not the purest form of love? To always be there for her even when everyone else said otherwise?

He did not need her to be mature and understanding. After all, he understood the journey to adulthood was riddled with heartbreak and worries. He wanted her to grow up without having to experience them.

Jiang Yao ran into Lu Xingzhi's arms and nuzzled against him like a little kitten, muttering, "Lu Xingzhi, I am going to be a spoiled brat if you keep this up!"

"As long as you are willing, I do not care!" Jiang Yao's cuddly actions were very effective on Lu Xingzhi. "There is nowhere you can go being a spoiled little girl. That way, we will always be together."

He spoke quietly, bringing to light these words from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Xingzhi did not hide his intentions at all. He wanted her to never leave him.

It was his little fantasy, and he prayed for it to one day come true.

Jiang Yao broke into a smile in his embrace. "Where would I go? Once I am done with school, I will wander the world with you if I must. ˜If you marry a beggar, you become one; if you marry a criminal, you become one.' Do not get annoyed as I am not going anywhere!"

"I am no beggar nor criminal." Lu Xingzhi's chest throbbed ever so slightly. She did not hear any sound but she knew he was laughing.

"That is right! You are not a beggar, but a tyrant." Jiang Yao teased. "I almost forgot you have the absolute right of way here in this city."

A brief pause later, she continued. "You are six years older than me. Three years is equivalent to a generational gap, meaning we are two generations apart! On my first day in elementary school, you were already studying in a high school!"

Lu Xingzhi did not deny this as what Jiang Yao said was the truth. Hearing about the generational gap did dampen his spirit.
