Su Xiaomo was overwhelmed by her guilty conscience after what she had done and she nodded affirmatively. “Yes! Yes, of course!”

He Jiayu’s eyes seemed to turn darker, but he still sounded weak. “Really? What do you like about me... sigh, you must think me useless.”

That tone only made Su Xiaomo take pity on him.

“You’re great in everything! You’re good-looking, you have a great personality, and you’re so smart...” Su Xiaomo racked her brain, trying to find things to compliment him on. “He Jiayu, you’re the most exceptional guy I’ve ever met!”

He Jiayu lowered his gaze. “Then why are you always giving me attitude?”

Su Xiaomo grunted, then said, “It’s not your fault...”

“It must be. It’s all my fault.” He Jiayu wouldn’t listen to her and put all the blame on himself.

She felt wretched for hurting him, and hearing those words from him only irritated her further. Before she knew it, she was speaking her mind. “It’s not you! It’s me! I just want too much!”

In the night breeze, something seemed to sprout inside her, and the butterflies in her stomach fluttered their wings.

“I like that you’re a kind guy, but I want all that kindness for myself alone...” Su Xiaomo wrung her hands together. “I know that’s selfish, but I can’t help it. I’m just a selfish person! I don’t want to see you be so nice to all those girls... and you’re always smiling at them...”

The more she talked about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Su Xiaomo lowered her head and sniffled.

He Jiayu went up to her when she wasn’t looking and pulled her into his arms. “How about from now on, I’ll be nice to you only and smile at no one else?”

Su Xiaomo said in a dispirited voice, “I know you’re only saying that to make me happy...”

“That’s right.” He Jiayu chuckled. “But you’re the only person in my life whom I will do that for.”

Su Xiaomo could feel his hot breath in her ear. Tugging at her clothes, she looked up. “Don’t lie to me... I’m a smart fairy and you won’t fool me...”

“Momo, you’re not like those girls.” He Jiayu rubbed her black hair. “You’re not like any other person in this world. To me, you’re unique and irreplaceable. I like you, very much...

“Please have faith in my feelings for you, and I promise you we’ll have a future together.” He Jiayu held out his hand to her, as determined as when she had reached out to him that time and told him that they were going to protect his mother together.

After a moment of hesitation, Su Xiaomo put her hand in his palm.

He Jiayu smiled in satisfaction. He was going to wrap her hand in his when Su Xiaomo smacked his palm hard.

He Jiayu’s palm turned red at the crisp sound.

He looked innocently at Su Xiaomo, the culprit. With her hands on her waist, Su Xiaomo grinned viciously. “Tricking me with your finesse again, aren’t you? That was some loud confession of love! Weren’t you too weak to talk a minute ago?”

He Jiayu cleared his throat in embarrassment.

She got him...

He was only trying to play the weakling, but she had seen right through him...

“Momo...” He sighed quietly. “I was going to seduce you, but... I was seduced first.”

“You’re not allowed to play tricks on a fairy!” Su Xiaomo said in disdain. She then made a face. “He Jiayu, you’re so dumb! I’ll have to protect you from now on!”

“...” He Jiayu’s mouth fell open and it took him a while to digest those words. “Momo, was that a yes?”
