Gu Yuan looked at his face, "The sound of the rain is too loud, I couldn't hear you. What did you just say?"
Chi Yu lowered his eyes to look at her, close enough to touch, their breaths mingling softly in the narrow space between them, creating a melody that both of them enjoyed. It's strange, even amidst the noisy rain, they could still hear each other's breathing.
Chi Yu lowered his chin slightly, moved close to the outer edge of Gu Yuan's ear, and repeated what he just said, "I'll hold the umbrella."
Gu Yuan blinked her eyes, "Are you sure you can do it?"
Chi Yu asserted confidently, "Why can't I? I'm more than capable!"
His unexpected and assertive answer made Gu Yuan's heart soft like the sands by the sea. She pretended to ponder, "Hmm... you are indeed very capable, but let me do it. You just need to hold me."
Being praised, Chi Yu smiled like a happy two-hundred-pound man.
It's not that Gu Yuan was exaggerating; he truly was very capable.
