I know this is a question I shouldn't ask, because her age stands between us. But Deng Lishan couldn't help it; she wasn't sure what she wanted to confirm, she was just...
"I'm horrible, aren't I? To keep troubling you like this."
"If at this point I still deny my feelings for you, what difference would there be between me and those men out there who toy with women? After all, ordinary friends don't wish each other good morning and good night. Deng Lishan, I'll wait for you for two years. All the words, let's leave them for after two years, and our status too, let's confirm it after two years. During this period, you focus on your studies, I'll focus on my work, and we'll both shake off the shackles holding us down, okay?"
