"It's better to choose a new set. I will prepare the jewelry then," he said.

"No, getting new ones is a waste for me. I don't have much chance to wear these dresses and jewelry." Zhong Keke said.

"You will have more and more opportunities to use these in the future, so it's better to prepare more." Gu Lichen said.

She was stunned, feeling that his words seemed to be implying something.

After dinner, Zhong Keke and Gu Lichen went for a walk by the lake.

The gentle night breeze blows over, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

There were many couples by the lake. Seeing the couples holding hands and walking side by side, Zhong Keke couldn't help but feel envious in her heart.

Although she had also held hands with Gu Lichen, she usually took the initiative and he agreed.

If he hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have held her hand at all if they were getting along in private like this.

Even if he said that he liked her, but...this love should be far from the love between lovers.

Zhong Keke was just like this, her eyes falling on the tightly held hands of the lovers holding hands from time to time.

Suddenly, Zhong Keke's body froze, and she looked blankly at her right hand. She saw another hand holding her right hand, which was Gu Lichen's hand.

"How did you..."

"Don't you want to?" he asked back, "I thought you wanted to hold hands because you were always staring at the hands held by others."

She blushed, but still admitted, "Yeah, I think so."

"Then keep walking." He said, planning to keep walking forward.

"Wait!" she said suddenly, then her other free hand went around his waist, and her face was buried in his arms, "Thank you for being willing to respond to me like this."

She murmured, trying to say something in her heart while she had the courage now.

"Yesterday you said that you like me. In fact, I am really happy. Even if your like now may not be love yet, at least for me, it is a hope." She said in a low voice,

"When I fantasize about you, when I kiss you and touch you, you say it doesn't matter. Because we are boyfriend and girlfriend, it is natural to do these things. But do you know? In fact, I feel that we are both boyfriend and girlfriend.

People who love each other should do these things as a matter of course, and not just because they are boyfriend and girlfriend."

He listened quietly, and could feel her body tightening when she said these words, as well as the intertwined hands. Her fingers seemed to hold his hand tighter.

"Although you said that you won't find it annoying when I do this, but I think it's not a happy thing to be done by someone you don't love." She continued, "Before, I just

I blindly wanted to bring us closer and become more intimate, but I forgot that when I did this, I was the only one who was happy, not you."

These are what she felt when she looked at the couples passing by her just now.

The faces of those couples were filled with joyful smiles when they made some intimate gestures.

But she had never seen this smile on Gu Lichen's face.

Thinking about how she was secretly happy about being more intimate with him before, she suddenly felt that she was a little ridiculous.
