"That's a good decision," Xia Yuqing agreed with a nod.
"I know you've always been searching for that magical 'first love' feeling. But Rouxi, have you ever thought that love isn't something you can control or predict?
"Sometimes two people fall in love at first sight and spend a lifetime together. Sometimes it fades over the years. And sometimes, love grows slowly—bit by bit—until it's unshakable."
"Maybe instead of searching for the kind of love that makes your heart race, you should focus on the love that stays, the love that carries you when life gets heavy. That's the love that lasts."
Yan Rouxi grew quiet, her expression softening. Then, after a long pause, she gave a little smile. "You're right. I never thought of it that way before. I will give Gu Yixuan's and my relationship a chance."
The two women huddled together, their expressions filled with mischief and excitement as they shifted their discussion back to Xia Yuqing and her grand confession.
