Lu Shinian's breath hitched.
His mind hadn't caught up yet, but his body already held her tightly, pressing his lips to hers.
It seemed only a fervent and intensely suppressed kiss could express the deep emotions and the strong turbulence caused by those two words she uttered.
After the kiss ended, Lu Shinian rasped, "I'm here."
"I've always been here."
Su Ruan chuckled lightly, a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes, her small hand intertwined tightly with his large hand, as if she had drawn closer to his heart.
Lu Shinian lowered his gaze, looking at their interlocked fingers, and for a moment, he felt the illusion that he had entered her heart.
However...
Thinking of something, Lu Shinian's eyes darkened.
But it was just a moment, and the unusual color in his eyes vanished.
"Ruan Ruan, if Ian comes online again, you must tell me."
Mentioning "Ian," Lu Shinian's expression noticeably changed.
