81. Chapter 81: A Different Shangguan Yun 2

I glanced at Shangguan Yun sheepishly, never expecting him to say such words from his mouth.

Could it be that I'm too closed off? I really should give him a chance, give myself a chance, shouldn't I?

Actually, he's right; in love, things can't always be smooth sailing, and love likewise requires one to strive for it.

Few people can persist from the start of a relationship all the way to marriage.

"Love is happiness, heartbreak is pain; if one doesn't fall in love, then there won't be heartbreak." I turned my face away, not looking at him as he said this lightly.

"Why is it that two people clearly like each other yet cannot be together?"

I didn't answer his words; I admitted that I had already fallen for him, and it seemed like it wasn't just a little bit of liking.

But I didn't want to fall deeper; I felt I was indeed afraid.

"Xuanxuan, I admit that at first I only had a simple liking for you, I felt fond of you, but over this time I've realized I've fallen in love with you. Believe me, I will surely love you well and treat you well, okay? Give me a chance." Shangguan Yun gently turned my body to face him.

Looking at his eyes, somewhat sad, somewhat gloomy, my heart felt an indescribable feeling.

"Xuanxuan, look into my eyes, look into my eyes; they are filled with love for you, and also here." Shangguan Yun then took my hand and placed it on his chest, continuing: "Here too is filled with you; unfortunately you can't see it, but can you feel it?" Looking at Shangguan Yun's deep, sincere expression, I almost believed his words.

But would a playboy truly be devoted to me? He's so popular, good-looking, and from a good family, while I am an ordinary girl who is no longer ordinary—though I'm not unattractive, I'm not the kind of exceptionally beautiful girl; although some say I'm fresh and pretty, compared to true beauties there's still a gap, and I don't know what would make me believe his feelings for me are genuine.
