Angeline took Jay's hand and said with a smile," You're the only one I’m obsessed with. I don't have much preference for other things in life. I'm happy enough to just have them."
Jay pulled her into his arms. "Angeline, meeting you has been the luckiest thing that has ever happened in my life."
The red sun was hanging in the sky.
Jay held Angeline's hand and as they strolled along Cloud City’s cobbled streets. Perhaps it was Angeline’s otherworldly beauty or Jay’s dashing face and noble aura, they would turn heads wherever they went.
"You’ve indeed knocked their socks off today, Angeline," Jay said.
Angeline was smug and grew narcissistic. "Do you feel threatened, then? Even just a little bit?"
Jay wore a smile on his face.
Suddenly, they heard whispers behind them. "Oh my, look how handsome that man is."
Angeline's expression sank instantly.
Jay could not help but laugh. "Do you feel threatened now? Even just a little bit?"
Angeline felt as though she had gone out for wool and came home shorn.
She then nodded dejectedly. "Mm. I suddenly feel like my position is threatened.”
Jay stopped walking. He saw the pitiful look on Angelina's face and said, "Why don't you turn around and look at the girl who spoke just now...”
Even without looking, he knew that no other girl in this world could catch his eye.
Angeline looked back and stole a peek at the fangirl who admired Jay.
The girl was plump, her face round and flat.
Angeline breathed a sigh of relief. This girl would look completely out of place if she stood beside Jay.
"Let’s go.” Angeline pulled Jay away.
She was bursting with self-confidence. "I still think I suit you best, Jaybie.”
Jay let out a gratified smile.
After walking for a while, Jay could feel himself sweating a little. When he turned to look at Angeline, h e realized that fine beads of sweat were already forming on her nose.
"Do you feel hot?” Jay asked with concern.
