Zhan Yuxi's eyes widened, momentarily stunned.

She hadn't expected Meng Chenzhou to be so direct.

But she couldn't stop the smile that spread across her lips.

Meng Chenzhou continued speaking as if he were talking to himself.

"Before, I always thought you were too young, didn't want to scare you, but now, I've changed my mind."

In the cramped cabin, the two sat facing each other.

As the soft light illuminated them, Zhan Yuxi could see the unmistakable possessiveness and affection in Meng Chenzhou's eyes.

This version of Meng Chenzhou had always lived in her imagination, but now, it was real.

"Chenzhou, I like you too."

Zhan Yuxi openly expressed her feelings, responding in kind.

After her confession, Meng Chenzhou's gaze deepened.

He leaned closer, and instinctively, Zhan Yuxi closed her eyes.

Just before she did, she noticed that they were about to reach the highest point.

Could it be that the kiss of love was really about to happen?

Holding the bouquet, her hands grew slightly sweaty, feeling both nervous and expectant for the first time.

Meng Chenzhou lowered his gaze, watching her butterfly-like fluttering eyelashes, his fingers slightly moving.

A gentle coolness touched the skin of her neck.

Zhan Yuxi opened her eyes in surprise and looked down.

Around her neck was a silver-blue necklace.

The pendant was a beautifully crafted crescent-shaped blue-purple gemstone, reflecting a mysterious and stunning color in the glassy light.

She was instantly drawn to it, but at that moment, her thoughts were elsewhere.

She looked at Meng Chenzhou, lips slightly parted, about to speak, but before she could, he seemed to understand her unspoken words. Supporting her neck with one hand, he leaned in and kissed her.

Zhan Yuxi's eyes widened as she felt the warm breath on her lips.

For a moment, it seemed as if her heart had stopped beating, and the entire world fell silent, leaving only their intertwined breaths.
