"Dunn, I like you!"
The moment Daly's voice rang in his ears, Dunn was completely stunned.
His brain went blank in an instant, leaving only those words echoing.
Dunn had never imagined that Daly would confess to him one day.
This was something he hadn't dared to hope for even in his most beautiful dreams.
Did Dunn like Daly?
That was a definite yes.
If he didn't like her, how could he, plagued by the characteristics of a Nightmare, always blurring the line between reality and dreams, always forgetting so many things, remember Daly's affairs so clearly, and how could he always mention her to others?
It was just that Dunn was insecure.
Daly was so outstanding, not only beautiful but also a genius who had advanced to Sequence 7 "Spirit Medium" in just two years.
Compared to her, Dunn himself was so ordinary, unable to say sweet words to please women, not handsome and even a bit old-looking.
Although he was also Sequence 7, it took him much longer to advance than Daly.
Was he worthy of Daly?
The answer to this question, at least in Dunn's view, was no.
Precisely because of this, even though he vaguely sensed Daly's feelings, Dunn was still avoiding them.
Or rather, he was afraid, afraid that what he sensed was just wishful thinking, just an illusion, afraid that if he broke through that layer of window paper, they wouldn't even be able to be friends.
What Dunn didn't know was that Daly was afraid of the same thing as him.
Thus, the two people who secretly admired each other placed each other on a pedestal in their hearts, belittling themselves to dust.
Clearly, they liked each other, and even vaguely sensed each other's affection, yet neither dared to take a step forward, afraid that things would go to the worst possible outcome.
In the original story, if it hadn't been for the accident in Tingen, perhaps after many years, one of these two people would have taken the initiative to break the deadlock and let the story move towards a happy ending.
Unfortunately, in the timeline of the original story, the accident ultimately happened, and they ultimately didn't have time to tell each other their feelings before they were separated by life and death.
But now, with Lin Ruo's interference, Ince Zangwill's conspiracy ended without a hitch.
Dunn didn't die because of the evil god's offspring, but Daly was stimulated by this incident, and with Lin Ruo's help, she chose to confess.
"So… what's your answer?"
After waiting for several seconds without receiving an answer, Daly became increasingly anxious.
She looked at Dunn, who was staring blankly at her, and couldn't help but speak again.
"I…" Dunn opened his mouth, seemingly not having organized his words yet, or perhaps not knowing how to answer.
He was still insecure, still worried, worried that this was just an unreal dream.
This wasn't because he didn't like Daly enough, but because he liked her too much, cared too much, and regarded her as a treasure, which was why he hesitated.
Just then, Lin Ruo, who was next to them, coughed softly and said to Dunn with a smile, "Captain Dunn, think carefully before answering! Also… when it comes to feelings, it has nothing to do with status, nothing to do with excellence, nothing to do with anything else.
"Liking is liking.
"If you reject because of inferiority, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Dunn was stunned again.
He looked at Lin Ruo, whose eyes, as dark and deep as the night sky, were now filled with a warm smile and encouragement.
He's seen through me…
Dunn was silent for a second, then whispered, "Thank you…"
Then he looked at Daly, who seemed to be a little dazed and thoughtful because of Lin Ruo's words just now.
"Daly." Dunn called out, and the latter immediately looked at him, her expression becoming tense again.
"I'm here."
"I… I'm not as good as you, not good-looking enough, not too smart, and I don't know how to please you…" Dunn organized his words.
He spoke slowly, but Daly listened very carefully.
Just hearing her beloved belittle himself like this, she couldn't help but say, "It's not like that, you're obviously very good…"
"Listen to me." Dunn rarely interrupted Daly, and said seriously, "Compared to others, I'm very ordinary, or I may not be able to make you very happy… But even such an ordinary me also likes you."
"I like you very much, very much."
Daly felt something blurring her vision.
She smiled, smiled very brightly, very happily.
"Idiot, it's enough as long as you like me!"
She took the initiative to kiss him.
…
"That's right!" Watching the two people next to them showing affection without regard for others, Lin Ruo silently sighed and focused his gaze on Klein, who had been eating melon seeds since just now and now had a gossipy look on his face.
Reaching out and waving in front of Klein, Lin Ruo lowered his voice and said, "Don't disturb them, let's go out and talk."
Klein immediately nodded.
The two then tiptoed out of the room, leaving the space to the two people who had just confessed to each other—by the way, Leonard was still sleeping on the sofa at this moment.
After leaving the room and arriving at a place where they wouldn't disturb Dunn and Daly, Lin Ruo said with a smile, "How is it, were you startled?"
"It's okay, it's just a little unexpected… I didn't expect Captain and Ms. Daly to actually like each other." When Klein said this, he was still a little surprised when he thought about what had just happened.
Klein, who had only been working as a Nighthawk for about half a month, naturally didn't know the two people as well as he did in the original story, so he didn't know that Dunn and Daly secretly admired each other.
He also asked curiously, "Lin Ruo, how did you know about this?"
Looking at Lin Ruo's attitude and words just now, how could Klein, who was familiar with him, not see that the other party had already known about this and was deliberately helping.
"Of course, it's because… I know everything?" Lin Ruo joked.
"Hehe." Klein used a laugh to express the meaning of "Do you think I believe you?"
"Just kidding, the reason I know about this is partly because I saw it with my own eyes, and partly because I investigated the Nighthawks in Tingen before, and I more or less noticed a trace of clues." Lin Ruo explained with a smile.
This time, Klein believed his words and sighed, "This can also be regarded as lovers finally getting married! I don't know when they will get married…"
"Maybe soon, you know, that Ms. Daly is very proactive, I wouldn't be surprised if she dragged Dunn into the church tomorrow." Lin Ruo smiled.
He believed that as long as this Dunn-Daly couple confessed, the speed of their relationship progress would definitely be like a rocket launcher.
"Tomorrow…" Klein was a little taken aback.
Lin Ruo smiled, but then said, "Klein, I said before that I would tell you what you can know when you wake up.
Do you want to hear it now?"
Klein, who didn't expect Lin Ruo's topic to jump so quickly, was stunned for a moment, then said sternly, "I want to hear it."
"Okay!" Lin Ruo nodded, organized his words, and said, "This matter is actually not complicated…"
Although the part involving the goddess and Adam's calculations, Lin Ruo can't tell Klein, but telling Klein the appearance of this matter is still no problem.
Dunn and Daly confessed successfully, marriage is scheduled, congratulations!
