185 Secre (2/2)
”I accepted her because I like her. I just asked out of curiosity and learned about it by accident,” Ash replied casually. ”So? How did you two become sweethearts in just two days?”
Wuxing exchanged gazes with the girls, knowing it wasn't just his secret anymore. Katherine and Anna protected his new identity by lying to the Seven Stars about his death so if they didn't agree, he couldn't share this with Ash. This was the only thing that held him back this whole time.
”Can I share the secret with her?” Wuxing asked, turning serious.
”If you are sure she will keep quiet about it and won't expose us then I don't mind,” Katherine replied, biting into her piece of meat as she looked at him. ”I will blame you if anything happens.”
”I will leave it to you,” Anna agreed with a wink. ”I trust you.”
”What about you two?” Wuxing asked Dongmei and Scarlet who sat on both his sides.
”I'm sowwie… It's all my fault. I said too much…” Scarlet muttered guiltily, hugging into his arm. ”I also don't mind if big sis knows…”
”It's alright. You didn't mean bad,” Wuxing cheered her up.
She was too innocent to win against an old scheming fox like Ash.
”Dongmei?” Wuxing moved to the last and most important person in his life, squeezing her hand with care.
She returned the same, looking at him with an uncertain gaze before confessing to him out of nowhere.
”I love you. I hope you know that. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and that won't change no matter what happens. Remember that.”
As she finished, she leaned over, holding onto his cheek and brought her words to life. She didn't seem to care about the small public they had and midway their kiss, he also stopped caring, showing his own love openly.
”I think I need to tell you that more often but I love you too,” Wuxing expressed, staring at her from up close. ”Thank you for following me.”
”Of course… My future is tied with yours,” Dongmei replied, leaning for another kiss when they heard a cough from the side.
”Ehem, we are still here,” Katherine informed them, forcing them to break free from each other.
Wuxing smiled and scratched his head, asking as if nothing happened, ”Where were we?”
”You were supposed to go and tell Ash our secret. I trust your judgment,” Dongmei replied, her mood improved from earlier.
”Now I'm really curious what that secret is…” Ash muttered, looking confused.
”Alright, follow me if you want to know,” Wuxing called out, walking away from the table.
There were many people on the platform so he didn't want anyone to hear them by accident. Ash immediately followed after him and they walked around the platform in silence.
Seeing no one was around, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her under the platform, separated from outside by a thick curtain.
”Is this necessary?” Ash asked, looking at him eagerly. ”What is it? You know where Wuxing is, right? I need to know.”
