For the first time, under Gu Shengyin’s directness, Yu Qingyun faced this issue head-on.

He fell into deep thought.

Gu Shengyin was in no hurry.

She picked up a glass of juice and drank it slowly.

Hmm, the juice at this restaurant is really quite good.

After a while, just as Gu Shengyin was about to ask the waiter for a refill, Yu Qingyun finally lifted his head.

The last trace of hesitation in his eyes disappeared.

"Beiye, I’ve thought a lot," Yu Qingyun said, looking steadily at Gu Shengyin.

"I just thought about it a lot, but in the end, I feel that I should follow my heart."

Yu Qingyun gently placed his hand over his heart: "This here clearly tells me that it beats for you."

Yu Qingyun watched as Gu Shengyin put down her glass and looked at him, then smiled: "What you said earlier made a lot of sense, but I also trust my own intuition. No matter what you are like, or what I am like, my heart for you, my feelings for you, will not change."

"This will always beat for you, and I will always love you deeply. This is something that will never change."

Yu Qingyun looked at the person in front of him who made his heart race for the first and only time, saying what he thought he would never say in this lifetime.

"No matter what unexpected things might happen between us, I believe the final outcome will not change, that I will be with you, always."

Gu Shengyin was moved.

By the unwavering determination in his eyes, by the immense confidence that emerged when he spoke.

She conceded.

Lowering her eyes, Gu Shengyin softly sighed, "You really are an easily captivating man."

Yu Qingyue also softly replied, "But my captivating appearance will only show before you."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Yu Qingyue suddenly said, "So, does this mean my confession was successful?"

He said this with full confidence.

But Gu Shengyin shook her head.

Yu Qingyun’s expression changed: "Is there still a problem?"

Gu Shengyin said, "I have a big secret about myself."

Yu Qingyun was stunned for a moment.

Gu Shengyin asked, "Can you answer me honestly, Yu Qingyun, do you like men or women?"

Yu Qingyun heard this and was momentarily taken aback, quickly wondering if she was repulsed by the idea of being with a man.

He said, "I won’t go against my true nature and tell you I’m gay, Beiye."

He spoke with great seriousness: "In fact, before I met you, I had never experienced the feeling of being moved, nor had I ever felt any impulse towards the same sex. I think I most likely am not homosexual."

Then, he suddenly smiled playfully.

This man always carried an air of mature gentlemanliness, but when he winked and smiled every now and then, it had an electrifying effect. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"To borrow a line from the internet: I’m not homosexual, I just happened to fall in love with someone of the same gender."

Gu Shengyin drank the last sip of juice from her cup.

She said, "What a pity, you didn’t actually fall for someone of the same gender."

It took Yu Qingyun a few seconds to finally process this sentence in his mind.
