Chapter 38 Believe it or not

Should she tell him or not?

Chu Yu gazed at Rong Zhi without blinking

He was delicately handsolance He had clear eyes and broith pure black eyes that were like endless like the end of the universe Looking into the h bridge, yet it was soft at the tip His skin wasn't pure white, but textured like a warm, smooth jade Yet it was even warmer and softer somehow

Eye to eye, in such close distance, it was as if they could read each each other's emotions His black eyes were filled with honesty as he murmured, ”Trust me”
