No matter how you look at it, it seems like her one-sided selfishness, her wishful thinking.
Will Jin accept?
"This matter might be a bit overwhelming for you... Would you want it? If you don’t, it’s fine..." Shen Tang hadn’t finished speaking before the man stood up and pulled her into his embrace.
Jin held her tightly, resting his chin on the top of her head, his ears burning intensely.
His Adam’s apple rolled heavily as he resisted the surge of emotion, not wanting her to see his loss of composure, and he answered softly, "...I want it."
"I like you, Xiao Fu," he said, "No matter what you say, I’ll agree."
This was Jin’s first formal confession.
Words like "like" were too unfamiliar and weighty for him, making it hard to declare.
But at this moment, he indeed said it.
Shen Tang’s heart also trembled; although the two were already together, saying it aloud carried a different meaning.
She felt her eyes sting as she deeply inhaled the familiar scent of the man, nodding heavily, "I like you too."
She added, "From now on... call me Tangtang."
Jin thought this must be her nickname and nodded in agreement, "Tangtang, I love you."
Suddenly, Shen Tang buried her face in his chest, her arms tightly wrapping around his waist.
Jin was momentarily stunned, feeling a slight moisture from her, and his words halted, "...Tangtang?"
"I’m okay. I-I’ll go clean up the dishes." Shen Tang quickly stood up, as if trying to escape.
Jin took two steps forward, "You go rest, I’ll do it."
Shen Tang nodded slightly, wiped her face gently, and quickly returned to her room.
Even though she masked it well, Jin still saw the faint redness at the corner of her eye.
Was she crying?
...
The last bit of warmth from the evening faded away, and the sky quickly turned dark, with the temperature dropping below zero.
The night was a time when many Mutant Species ran rampant.
This was a dangerous time.
Most nearby Beastmen hurried back to the shelter to enjoy this precious rest period.
The streets became quiet with only the occasional sound of the patrol passing by, some windows still emitted a warm yellow light.
Suddenly, a curtain was drawn.
