"Alright." she said.
The gradually warming sunlight spilled over Dubian Che's face.
The wind blew over from Kiyono Lin's side, carrying her fragrance and the scent of Mang Grass.
"I just want to make sure..." Dubian Che's throat emitted a dry sound, and he couldn't help but swallow and clear his throat.
"What did you say just now?" he asked cautiously.
"I said," Kiyono Lin took a deep breath, "Alright."
"We're... together now?" Dubian Che's voice gradually heightened.
Kiyono Lin, seemingly cold or shy, hugged her arms, nodded with a soft "Mm".
Dubian Che stared at her dumbfoundedly, frozen at that moment, his eyes unblinking.
Before Kiyono Lin could react, he turned and started to run.
Under Kiyono Lin's watchful gaze, he sprinted along the straight path through the Mang Grass, shouting midway, scaring the joyful wild birds of the morning into flight.
He even tumbled several times before disappearing from view, then came running back.
