Xu Nuan was taken aback by his response. The insecurities that she was holding onto all along seem to be melting away by his simple words.
The chaos in her mind started to calm down as she stared into his eyes. How can he make everything sound so simple?
'I like you because it's you.' Those words kept on ringing in her ears on repeat.
She was looking into his ocean-like deep and clear eyes and found herself falling for him deeper and deeper. Her hands acted on their own as she held onto his arms, stopping him from backing away.
She stared into his eyes, making him look straight into her dark eyes. No one spoke. There was a deep silence in the room, the silence that was not awkward but comforting.
They both were waiting for this moment, the moment where they can be truthful to each other. Both were aware of each other's secrets yet no one said anything.
