"Why would you ask that?" Di Jinxuan furrowed her eyebrows, truly not having anticipated that Nangong Jin would ask such a question.
"I'm afraid you like him." Nangong Jin answered honestly, his limpid peach-blossom eyes slightly downcast, carrying a self-mocking tone, "I fear you think he's better than me, younger, from a cleaner background, and he's been with you for so long, he... really likes you."
Nangong Jin didn't know why he was saying all this. Lying together like this, he always felt that Di Jinxuan gave off a peaceful aura, making even the most wandering and dissolute person yearn to settle down.
This feeling was beautiful, so beautiful that it made one long for it, the simplicity of two people being together, without much tumult or upheaval, just quietly loving each other and spending the rest of their lives in happiness.
Her tranquillity made him sink into deep thought, prompted him to reflect, fearing that Di Jinxuan might despise him.
Because he wasn't perfect.
