Gu Xiao fixed his gaze on Qin Youbei, his face suddenly stern.
"You're still having wild thoughts till today. I thought once you knew everything, you would understand what was going on. I just didn't want you to live in fear every day. In order not to hurt you, I harshly pushed you away completely. I'm sorry, I'm not that great. Believe it or not, having you in my life is really enough!" he said solemnly.
Qin Youbei stared at him dumbfounded, her eyes suddenly reddening.
He gently kissed her eyelid and asked, "Why do you feel like crying? What did I say wrong?"
Qin Youbei shook her head, her voice muffled, "You didn't say anything wrong, it's me... I'm afraid... because I'm not as good as you think. I, I... fear that one day, you'll regret the words you said to me today. Many people say that after a long time together, most couples become resentful towards each other. I'm also afraid that one day, you and I will become one of them."
Gu Xiao couldn't help but chuckle.
