He didn’t know what the future would hold, but life is too short. For as long as she had silently accustod to Wei Qin’s absence, he had liked Xin Wu for just as long. He liked her for so many years, never revealing even the slightest hint of his feelings. After Wei Qin was gone, only then did his long-suppressed heart begin to beat.
He longed to have her, which kept him hovering on the edge between calm and madness. He didn’t know how long he could endure, and even less what the future would bring. Once, he thought he could just wait, even if it took a lifeti.
Su Hai could grow old alone for the deceased Shen Zian; why couldn’t he wait for the vibrant Fu Xinwu?
But at this mont, Yu Fengji truly didn’t want to wait aimlessly any longer.
So he asked the question that had been deep within his heart.
"Ah?" Fu Xinwu’s mouth gaped open in shock, thinking she had misheard, "What did you say? Can you say it again?"
"I don’t want you to go abroad. Can you stay, for ?" His gaze and expression remained unchanged from start to finish, casually leaning against the wall in a relaxed posture. Yet the hand tucked freely into his pocket had already tightly clenched into a fist, his whole body tense, waiting for her answer.
"I, I, I..." Fu Xinwu’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated, without knowing why, she just felt her cheeks burning. When the words reached her lips, she couldn’t say them from nervousness. However, even in her sluggishness, she understood the aning behind Yu Fengji’s words.
So she blinked her bright eyes, looking at him in disbelief, as if she hadn’t thought that he... he...
My goodness!
Was Yu Fengji suggesting he liked her? Was that what he ant? Was it?
Fu Xinwu finally grasped it, cupping her cheeks in her hands, her unconscious movents were adorably silly, much like how she secretly liked Wei Qin all those years. Yu Fengji watched her intently, not finding it bad, but thinking of past tis, and his earlier nervousness eased sowhat.
"You want to stay?" Fu Xinwu finally managed to speak a complete sentence.
"Mm! I hope you can stay."
"But... but I want to beco a top authority in surgery, I need a better learning environnt, need to learn from different teachers." Fu Xinwu almost didn’t think, nor did she ponder deeply whether she truly wanted to go abroad or stay, she just blurted out the explanation.
Yu Fengji was an exceptionally outstanding police officer, sharp in conversational tactics and shifts in thoughts. So how could he not discern the wavering hidden in Fu Xinwu’s earlier words? This subtly reignited a small spark of hope within nearly desperate him.
"The dostic developnt is swift now, you can also beco an excellent surgical authority by staying here." He didn’t want her to go abroad, afraid that ti would be too cruel, and years later when she returned, they would no longer be the sa.
He was even more afraid she’d find soone she liked abroad, and never co back.
His greatest fear was that once she went abroad, he would truly be unable to do anything, unable even to surreptitiously follow her and glimpse her once.
Yu Fengji and Huo Beijiang were alike, unable to just obtain a visa and travel abroad like ordinary people. At their level, going abroad was a significant diplomatic event, without the procedures of two countries, it was absolutely impossible.
