A sudden impulse seizes Bai Mu Ye and he dials a familiar number quickly.
The call goes through.
He could hear his own breath.
Soon, someone picks up.
“Mu Ye!” A familiar and soft voice rises by his ear.
She sounds happy. He can imagine what she is like right now - her eyes in curves with a beaming smile.
If he is with her, he is going to lower himself and kiss her.
“You... I’ve watched that video,” said Bai Mu Ye.
Immediately, Ah Zhao realizes what he is talking about. “Just now?”
He nods. Remembering that she can't see him nod, he adds hurriedly: “Yes. My phone was dead in the morning...”
He stops himself suddenly for he has been beating around the bush.
Get to the point!
Taking a deep breath, he asks: “Ah Zhao, what you said in the interview...”
Both ends of the call turns silent.
“Do you mean what you said?”
That she wants to marry him, that she wants to spend the rest of her life with him.
Her every word makes his heart jump.
Ah Zhao sighs. “You still don’t believe me.”
She sounds a bit upset. “I thought I was clear enough.”
Bai Mu Ye opens his mouth, doesn't know what to say.
True, he has heard what was said in the interview from her already.
But he is afraid.
It's not that he doesn't trust Ah Zhao. He simply doesn't believe in himself.
Is he that charming to have won Lu Yuanzhao's heart, that she is willing to give up the whole forest for him?
He doesn't think he is.
On the other end of the call, listening to her boyfriend's silence, Ah Zhao is a bit frustrated as she speaks to cotton candy: “Because of what Lu Yuanzhao did in the past, he doesn't believe me now.”
A sweetheart cotton candy is, it tries to cheer her up. “Don't give up. Perseverance leads to success. With hard work, an iron rod can become a needle!”
Ah Zhao: “...”
Though she is grateful for cotton candy's encouragement... but what is iron rod and needle supposed to mean?
After thinking about it, she says to Bai Mu Ye: “Mu Ye, I’m here. When will you have the courage to catch up and take my hand?”
Bai Mu Ye remains quiet.
Sighing, she says: “Okay, I’m hanging up...”
“I love you.”
Ah Zhao’s eyes widen.
She thinks she just had an illusion.
“I love you so much, Lu Yuanzhao.” Bai Mu Ye repeats.
Having spoken it, he feels a heavy burden off his heart.
In fact, it wasn't that difficult.
He laughs. “I’m just afraid. You are so charming. You have so many suitors. I never thought you would stay with me.”
It isn't that embarrassing to admit that he isn’t that confident.
“I’m a man. Why am I more cautious than you are?”
She hears him laugh again. “Now listen to me, Ah Zhao. I miss you. I miss you so much. I want more than a serious relationship. I want to marry you. I want to take part in your future. I want to stay with you forever.”
Ah Zhao thinks she must have a silly smile now.
On the other end of the call, the man is still speaking: “Wait for me. I’ll prove to the world that I deserve you.”
She nods hard. “M-hm!”
It is a pity that nobody could see her grin.
“I've never doubted it, Mu Ye. You are my one and only male lead. Always.”
