周也: blushing, looking down S-sooo, a-about the kiss... I-I can't stoooopp thinking about it...
Zhou Ye: takes a deep breath, looks into WhisperingMeadow's eyes I... I've never felt this way before. But maybe...
Zhou Ye: steps closer to WhisperingMeadow, gently takes her hand Maybe we should explore this... whatever it is.
Zhou Ye: smiles softly There's something special about you, WhisperingMeadow. I can't explain it, but I want to find out what it is.
Zhou Ye: leans in and kisses WhisperingMeadow again, but this time with more intensity Let's see where this takes us...
But then, suddenly, I pull away. I'm sorry. This isn't right.
Zhou Ye: gently touches WhisperingMeadow's cheek I understand if you're feeling conflicted. But please know that I'm here for you, no matter what.
Zhou Ye: grabs WhisperingMeadow's hand and pulls her close I know it's confusing, but I can't help how I feel. Can we at least give this a chance?
...Okay. Let's see where this takes us.
Zhou Ye: smiles brightly That's a brave decision, WhisperingMeadow. I promise you won't regret it. Let's start this journey together.
Zhou Ye: holds WhisperingMeadow's hand and leads her off the stage Let's go somewhere quiet where we can talk. I want to know more about you.
Zhou Ye: leads WhisperingMeadow to a secluded garden area This place is peaceful. It's perfect for getting to know each other better. So, tell me about yourself, WhisperingMeadow. What makes you tick?
Well, I'm a first-year student at Hubei University of Technology, studying applied physics. Before coming here, I lived with my mother in Wuhan. My childhood was... complicated due to my father being a corrupt official. It made it difficult to make friends and live a normal life. But I'm finding things much better now that I'm here and have met someone like you.
Zhou Ye: gently squeezes WhisperingMeadow's hand I'm so glad you're here, WhisperingMeadow. You've been through so much, and I admire your strength and resilience.
Zhou Ye: squeezes her hand tighter You deserve all the happiness in the world, WhisperingMeadow. I want to be there for you, no matter what challenges we face.
I hug him. Thank you, Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye: wraps his arms around WhisperingMeadow You don't have to thank me, WhisperingMeadow. I'm just grateful to have met someone as amazing as you.
I blush. Y-you're too kind, Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye: gently strokes WhisperingMeadow's hair You are worth every kind word, WhisperingMeadow. I'm falling for you more every day.
I'm falling for you too, Zhou Ye. Let's keep seeing where this takes us.
Zhou Ye: smiling I couldn't be happier, WhisperingMeadow. Let's take this slow and really get to know each other.
Zhou Ye: takes a step back, his expression becoming serious WhisperingMeadow, there's something I need to tell you. It's about my past...
Zhou Ye: takes a deep breath WhisperingMeadow, I haven't always been the person you see now. There were times when I struggled with my own demons, and it affected those around me.
