Chapter 193 Double Happiness

Qin Yuming's gaze was also fixed intently on Lily's shoulder, his eyes unwavering. Seeing Qin Yuming's burning gaze, Lily felt her heart race.

After pausing for a few seconds, she lifted the clothes off her shoulders. "Thank you for your concern. Thanks to Mother, my injuries have all healed."

As Lily straightened her clothes, she expressed her gratitude to Qin Yuming. "Well... as long as Lily is healthy and well, whatever I sacrifice is worthwhile."

Hearing Lily's gratitude, Qin Yuming remained silent for a short while before speaking these words. Upon hearing them, Lily felt as if her heart had been instantly illuminated by the warm light of the universe.

Overwhelmed by emotion, Lily was momentarily speechless, only able to let the feelings surge within her, transforming into silent tears that shimmered with an overwhelming happiness.

"Why...why are you so good to me? We've barely met, and I...I still have feelings for you..."

Lily's voice trembled slightly, tinged with a barely perceptible sob, as she cautiously voiced the question that had been lingering in her heart. At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Time seemed to slow its pace, leaving only the echo of her words, gently reverberating between them. Then, silence fell, and Lily lowered her eyes.

Her fingers unconsciously intertwined, revealing her inner turmoil and anticipation. Her heartbeat sounded exceptionally clear in the stillness.

Each pounding sound struck her chest. How she longed to hear the answer to her thoughts and desires from the other person, yet she feared it was merely a distant dream.

The moonlight shone through the glass, casting his figure on a solitary silhouette. In this long wait, Lily felt as if she were adrift on a vast, empty sea.

They both anticipated the lighthouse's glow and feared it was merely a mirage, unattainable. Finally, the boy slowly stood up.

He went to Lily's side, and finally, under Lily's expectant gaze, he hugged her tightly. "Lily, from the moment I saw you..."

My world underwent a complete transformation. Every smile and gesture of yours was like the warmest sunshine in spring, instantly melting away the ice and loneliness in my heart.

Your eyes, clear and bright, seem to hold endless secrets, making me want to explore and understand them. I know this might be abrupt.

This might surprise you, but I can't control my feelings. They're like the gentle breeze of this spring night, blowing softly, yet stirring within my heart.

It left an indelible mark. He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with both determination and tenderness, and hugged Lily even tighter.

"Lily, I fell in love with you at first sight the moment I met everyone at the restaurant. This feeling is so pure and intense that I can't resist it."

But fearing you might misunderstand, I dared not pay too much attention to you, so I had to perform a magic trick for Clay to calm my intense emotional turmoil.

This restless heart makes me yearn to share every sunrise and sunset, every storm and rainbow with you. I am willing to give you my all to cherish you and to be with you.

Please give me a chance to be a part of your life, okay? Hearing the boy's deep and passionate confession…

Lily felt as if she were enveloped by an invisible force, and her thoughts became extremely chaotic, as if she had been caught in a sudden storm.

She felt her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of her chest, while the boy's embrace gave her an unprecedented sense of security and warmth.

This confession fulfilled the answer he had been fantasizing about, but it was also too intense, leaving Lily completely speechless.

Not knowing how to express her feelings at that moment, Lily, though unsure how to articulate them, received the answer from the system within Qin Yuming's mind.

"Ding! Congratulations, host! Lily's favorability has increased by 6 points, bringing her favorability to 5 points." Hearing this result, Qin Yuming was overjoyed.

But then the system announced, "Ding! Congratulations, host, Lily's favorability has increased by 4 points, bringing her total favorability to 9 points."

"Ding! Lily's affection level -5, Lily's affection level has decreased to 4 points."

"Ding! Lily's affection level +3, Lily's affection level increased to 7 points."

"Ding! Lily's affection level -4, Lily's affection level has decreased to 3 points."

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!" The system's voice kept ringing in Qin Yuming's mind, and Lily's favorability rating was fluctuating up and down.

Qin Yuming was also stunned by the situation, completely unaware of Lily's current state of mind. After calming himself down, he slowly released Lily from his embrace.

Then Qin Yuming noticed that Lily was motionless, as if under a spell, her eyes trembling and her face filled with disbelief. Seeing this, Qin Yuming slowly closed his eyes.

His lips parted slightly, drawing ever closer to Lily's mouth. Qin Yuming's passionate confession had exceeded Lily's expectations, leaving her momentarily at a loss.

But even so, it didn't mean Lily was dazed and oblivious to what was happening in front of her. Seeing Qin Yuming's slightly closed eyes and slightly parted lips, Lily, who had read countless novels and comics...

She instantly understood the meaning of the gesture. Lily panicked, her heart pounding at its peak. She didn't know if this kiss would change everything.

The thought of whether she would lose something flashed through Lily's mind, causing her body to stiffen involuntarily.

She wanted to push the boy away, to escape this moment that made her feel both happy and afraid. But at the same time, a voice deep inside her was calling out...

Tell her not to run away, to bravely face her feelings, and to experience all the beauty this kiss might bring, as Qin Yuming's lips gradually approached.

Lily finally calmed down, gradually giving up her inner struggle, and slowly closed her eyes. At that moment, many things the others had said over the past few days flashed through her mind.

A fleeting thought crossed my mind. "You mean you gave your first kiss to a boy you'd only known for a few days, with no emotional connection whatsoever, just because he said he fell in love at first sight?"

It was a book Lily had read before. A passage from the book flashed through Lily's mind, and she quickly opened her eyes and reached out to stop their kiss.

Noticing something amiss at his lips, Qin Yuming opened his eyes and discovered that Lily's hand was blocking their mouths.

Lily pushed Qin Yuming away forcefully, shouting, "No, no!" The sudden push caught Qin Yuming off guard.

After taking a few steps back, Qin Yuming lost his balance and landed squarely on his backside. He hadn't quite grasped what was happening, but as soon as he looked up at Lily...

They noticed that Lily's eyes were tightly closed, tears streaming down her face, and she was sobbing uncontrollably, "I...I'm sorry...but...I...I..."

Lily's voice trembled as she spoke, then she turned and ran away crying. In the end, Lily's favorability rating stopped at 4 points.
