"Brother Ye Feng..."
Just as Ye Feng expected Su Yuxin to either leave without a word or angrily scold him, he never anticipated the gentle touch of warm hands against his cheeks.
"Yu... Yuxin?"
Ye Feng stared in astonishment at Su Yuxin, whose expression was calm, his heart filled with surprise.
"Brother Ye Feng must have your own difficulties, right? I refuse to believe Brother Ye Feng is a bad person."
"But... but I..."
"Yet in the end, Brother Ye Feng still chose to confess, didn’t you? That means you’ve already found your answer."
Su Yuxin smiled as she spoke.
"I’m satisfied with this answer. At least I know Brother Ye Feng’s feelings for me aren’t fake, and that alone is enough for me."
"Yuxin..."
Looking at Su Yuxin, who seemed like a little angel, even Ye Feng couldn’t help but be moved. His nose tingled with emotion as he gazed at her gratefully.
"Hehe, I never thought Brother Ye Feng could be so vulnerable too."
Su Yuxin tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and suddenly wrapped her arms around Ye Feng, whose body stiffened in surprise.
"Brother Ye Feng, I’ve already forgiven you, so from now on, don’t ever think like that again, okay? In my heart, you’ll always be my Brother Ye Feng."
"Yuxin... thank you..."
Ye Feng slowly lifted his arms and gently embraced her in return. The long-standing turmoil in his heart had weighed heavily on him, but now, with Su Yuxin’s comfort, the shadows in his mind began to fade.
"But since something like this happened, Brother Ye Feng, doesn’t that mean I’ve got leverage over you now?"
After pulling away from the hug, Su Yuxin suddenly grinned mischievously, as if her playful mind had conjured up some new idea.
"Mhm."
"Then Brother Ye Feng better behave, alright? Otherwise... I might just take back my forgiveness."
"Alright."
"Well then..."
Su Yuxin reached out, grabbed Ye Feng’s hand, and led him out of the mall.
"There’s still so much we haven’t done today, and this time, Brother Ye Feng isn’t allowed to run away~"
Her attitude was like a soothing remedy, healing the torment Ye Feng’s heart had endured from the system. At the same time, her adorable and pure-hearted nature brought him solace.
......
"Ah, what a shame..."
As the sun set, Su Yuxin and Ye Feng sat together on an outdoor bench, sipping the milk tea they had bought while admiring the evening glow between the skyscrapers.
"Sorry, Yuxin. I didn’t realize you had plans to go to the amusement park."
After Su Yuxin temporarily forgave Ye Feng, she had suggested visiting the amusement park, but due to time constraints, they could only wander around the mall’s vicinity instead.
"It’s okay, Brother Ye Feng. To me, it doesn’t matter where we watch the sunset. The most important thing is that you’re by my side. Even though there was a misunderstanding today, I believe that after clearing it up, things will only get better, right?"
"Yeah... thank you, Yuxin."
"Brother Ye Feng..."
Su Yuxin took a sip of her milk tea, swinging her legs contentedly, when a sudden thought crossed her mind.
"Hey... Brother Ye Feng..."
"Hmm?"
"Can I... rest my head on your shoulder?"
"Of course, as long as you don’t mind."
"I don’t mind! Why would I mind? Then I won’t hold back..."
With that, Su Yuxin slowly tilted her head until it rested against Ye Feng’s shoulder, a blissful smile spreading across her face.
This feels just like what couples do... Maybe what happened today was actually a new opportunity for me? Come to think of it, should I thank Brother Ye Feng for giving me this chance?
"Brother Ye Feng."
"Wh-what is it?"
"I won’t tell anyone about today, not even my parents."
"Ah... thank you, Yuxin."
"But~"
Su Yuxin’s tone suddenly shifted as she clung tightly to Ye Feng’s arm, her lips nearly brushing against his ear.
"Yu-Yuxin, that’s too close!"
"No use~ Now that I’ve got leverage over Brother Ye Feng, no matter what you say, it won’t work~"
Seeing Ye Feng frozen in resigned silence, Su Yuxin grew even bolder.
"Brother Ye Feng~ Since I’m keeping this secret for you, doesn’t that mean you owe me something in return~?"
"Gulp—"
Ye Feng swallowed hard. Somehow, ever since confessing the truth to Su Yuxin, things had taken an increasingly strange turn. But since he was at fault, he had no choice but to nod.
"Y-yeah... I should repay you."
"So does that mean Brother Ye Feng owes me a favor?"
"Mhm. As long as your request is within my power, I’ll agree to it, Yuxin."
"Then it’s settled~ Brother Ye Feng, you’re not allowed to forget~"
Ye Feng sensed that if he stayed with Su Yuxin any longer, things might spiral further out of control, so he quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, Yuxin, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Of course~ Could it be that Brother Ye Feng still wants to wear that cute bunny mask and elope with me?"
Su Yuxin nuzzled her head against Ye Feng’s shoulder. Just earlier, she had been trembling with fear—how had she changed so much in such a short time?
"N-no! That’s not it! I just wanted you to come with me somewhere."
"Eh? Somewhere?"
In an instant, Su Yuxin’s mind raced, countless locations flashing through her thoughts.
A hotel, an inn, a back alley, the sewers!
"Ehehe, ehehehe~"
Su Yuxin pressed her hands against her flushed cheeks, swaying back and forth with giddy excitement.
"Even if time’s a little tight... if it’s what Brother Ye Feng wants, I’ll go anywhere with you~"
"Okay, then let’s go now."
"R-right now? So soon?"
Su Yuxin blinked in surprise, immediately lowering her head bashfully.
"B-but I didn’t bring any..."
"It’s fine, Yuxin. Leave it to me."
"Eh?! So Brother Ye Feng was already prepared?"
Ye Feng gave her a puzzled look. Why did it feel like their conversation wasn’t on the same wavelength? But considering Su Yuxin’s limited time, he didn’t bother explaining further and simply led her toward the center of the mall.
