297 Truth and Confession
The night was as dark as ink, and the moonlight cascaded down on the cypress forest.

Now, Shen Ruojing lifted her head and looked at the man before her.

Chu Cichen’s originally tense body was slowly relaxing. His phoenix eyes were immeasurably deep, like the vast sky that was filled with stars. There seemed to be starlight gathering in his eyes.

His voice quavered a little as he asked, “518, do you want to see the Northern Lights?”

Shen Ruojing started. She fell silent for a moment before replying, “Yes.”

“Do you want to see the pyramids of Eygpt?”

“Yes.”

“Do you want to see the Babylon Skypark?”

“Yes.”

“Do you want to see the blue flames of the Ijen Volcano?”

“Yes.”

“Do you want to go to the Cape of Good Hope and surf the seas there?”

“Yes.”

The man’s voice, which was originally trembling from nervousness, gradually calmed down. The emotions in his eyes also shifted from passionate to extreme focus. He enunciated each of his words slowly, “Actually, I’m not really keen on such adventures, but I want to go there with you and travel the world together. I wish to accompany you at your side, starting from us falling in love until both of us turn old and gray with age. Are you willing?”

Shen Ruojing didn’t understand why he suddenly confessed to her once more. For a time, she didn’t know what she should reply.

Chu Cichen didn’t wait for her response. After he finished saying all these, he suddenly laughed in a carefree manner. “This was the confession I prepared for you back then. I once practiced the words before a mirror many times. Sadly, I didn’t manage to use them.”

Shen Ruojing clenched her fists tightly. “In that case, why are you saying them now?”

Chu Cichen shifted his gaze away. “Because I’m afraid that after telling you the truth, I won’t have a chance to say these words anymore.”

Shen Ruojing lowered her eyelids.
