Tong Yan didn't seem to hear what he said, she giggled in his arms, and then made a move that surprised Shi Jinyang.
Raising her slender wrist, her palm suddenly gently touched Shi Jinyang's face.
Her hands are very soft, a gentleness unique to girls, which is well reflected in her body.
The palm of her hand was warm, like the warm sunshine in winter. When it was ironing Shi Jinyang's skin, the part of Shi Jinyang's face that she pressed against was all warm.
Shi Jinyang's body visibly stiffened and his steps slowly stopped.
Tong Yan's hand was still touching his face, her palm touching his skin and rubbing gently, as intimately as a lover's touch.
Where Shi Jinyang was pressed against her palm, it was as if an electric current was spreading, passing through the blood vessels and reaching the deepest part of her heart.
On winter nights, there are almost no tourists on the beach.
The two of them were on the road outside the door of the restaurant, and no one else could be seen.
The sea breeze rustled with snowflakes.
The world was so quiet, as if she and him were the only ones left.
The heart of Shi Jinyang's chest seemed to be lightly touched by something, and the entire chest was filled with warm warmth.
"Yanyan..." Lowering his eyes, he called the woman in his arms softly.
The childish face raised its face, and in the night sky, its beautiful eyes were as bright as the light shining on colored stones.
A few snowflakes fell gently in the air, falling into the corners of her eyes, eyebrows, hair, face, and even her neck.
She seemed to be cold and kept staring at him.
Her eyes were obviously confused, but they were particularly bright. The light beams in her eyes were so bright that they seemed to shine into Shi Jinyang's heart.
Shi Jinyang's calm heart seemed to be blown by the wind, and the softness was all the throbbing left by her.
"What's wrong?" He wiped away a few snowflakes from her eyebrows with his fingertips. The gentleness in his movements seemed to overflow with warmth.
Tong Yan stared at him in trance for a while, then slowly moved her lips and asked word by word, "Do you still like Chi Xia?"
She asked very directly and kept her voice low.
The world where the two of them lived was filled with her lingering voice.
Shi Jinyang seemed to have obviously not expected that she would suddenly ask such a question, and his back was obviously shaken.
The expression on his face froze almost immediately.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Tong Yan's chest was beating very fast, and she was silently counting the time of his silence.
Fifty seconds have passed.
Shi Jinyang pursed his lips tightly. He didn't know whether he didn't know how to answer her question, or he was considering how to answer her question more appropriately.
Tong Yan didn't rush her, she just waited quietly.
The beat of her heartbeat slowly slowed down, as if it was about to stop.
Every second he was silent, her heart sank a little deeper.
One minute and thirty seconds have passed.
Is her question difficult to answer
Why the silence for so long
The childlike eyes, as bright as stars, slowly dimmed in his silence.
Just one and a half minutes, to both of them, seemed like a century.
There were a lot of things running through Shi Jinyang's head. He was not a good liar, and he would not use it to coax her with things that he was not sure about.
He knows very well that every word he speaks now may determine his and her fate in the future!
There was another minute of silence.
