A million thoughts flashed through Wu Sheng's mind in that instant. Looking at Su Li's smiling face, he couldn't help but pinch her cheek, giving it a light, punitive squeeze.
Wu Sheng didn't say these words out loud, but Su Li understood. She understood everything.
She let Wu Sheng pinch her cheek, her smile never wavering, as she reached out and cupped his face.
"I trust you. I'm not scared. I'm not scared at all."
'With Wu Sheng by my side, what do I have to be afraid of? I trust him.'
The hand Wu Sheng was using to pinch Su Li's cheek had, without him realizing, softened into a caress, cupping her face.
He gently caressed her soft cheek, gazing at his own reflection in the eyes of Su Li, who tilted her head up slightly. He wished he could lose himself right then and there in her gentle, smiling eyes.
They had known each other for so long and were so familiar with one another, yet whenever Su Li looked at him like this, he couldn't help but be completely captivated.
