The moment she said so, his eyes seemed to sparkle like bright stars. They were shimmering, and a beautiful smile appeared on the corners of his lips.
"You thought of me... You thought of me..." he muttered as if he was excited. There were tears in his beautiful peach blossom eyes.
She looked at his excited face and momentarily fell into a trance. 'Could a word from me make him behave like this?
'I know he loves me, and there’s no doubt about it.
'And I love him too. Don't I?'
"Let's eat first. The food is going to get cold if we don't," said Ling Yiran.
"Okay, let's eat first. It's our first time spending Chinese New Year together. You'll have New Year's Eve dinner with me every year after this as well, right?" he asked, looking nervous and hopeful.
She knew what he wanted to hear, and she did not want to see him disappointed.
"Yes, we'll have New Year's Eve dinner together every year onward," she said.
It was a promise, but it also fulfilled his expectations and desire.
The next moment, two streams of tears suddenly poured out of Yi Jinli's eyes and rolled down his face. He was crying, but the corners of his lips were smiling.
His smile was like the most beautiful scenery in springtime.
For a moment, Ling Yiran only felt waves of pain in her heart.
...
It was an experience Ling Yiran had never had.
She seemed to have peace of mind now. This moment felt similar to how she used to watch the show with her grandmother, but... there were still some differences.
Maybe it was because... Jin was not only her family but also the person she loved.
When the show got to the singing and dancing segment, Ling Yiran suddenly turned her head and looked at Yi Jinli who was sitting next to her. "Jin, I'll... try to forget about what happened in the past."
Yi Jinli shuddered suddenly. There was shock, surprise, and expectation but also nervousness in his eyes as he looked at her... "Yiran, you..."
'Could it be what I think it is? Is it possible?'
At the moment, he was like a man waiting for a trial. He was so nervous he was almost at a loss.
