Qin Quexi looked into her eyes, dark and deep with affection.
He could clearly see his own reflection within them.
From Gu Shengyin's gaze, he saw anticipation and admiration, and inexplicably, Qin Quexi felt that his response would be very important.
Yet after remaining silent for a long time, he softly said, "Changge, if I asked you to leave everything behind in the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty and come back to Da Qin with me, would you?"
He saw that after his words were spoken, the light in her eyes dimmed.
Qin Quexi suddenly felt an urge to take back what he had just said, but he did not.
Gu Shengyin flashed a smile and said lightly, "I was merely joking with you, Quexi. You know I can't leave Heavenly Phoenix."
She looked up at the window and said, "It's getting late. You should rest early."
Then she turned and walked away.
Qin Quexi watched her retreating figure, tall and straight yet emitting a sense of solitude.
