Chapter 702: Confession

I reached out my index finger and pointed at his temple.
Jing Tian reached out his hand and held my finger gently. He was focused on driving and didn’t look at me.
I was still smiling happily.
Jing Tian said softly, “That’s because I don’t want to waste the time we have anymore.”
I was stunned. Where did this come from?!!
Jing Tian looked ahead. He didn’t turn his head to look at me even when he stopped at a red light.
“Nanxing, when I recovered my memory and realized that you were gone, the heart-wrenching pain almost drove me crazy. After countless sleepless nights, I promised that if the heavens gave me another chance to find you, I would tell you the truth in my heart all the time so that you’d know how much I love you. I will never put you only in my heart and not on my lips like how I did past again. Words have incredible power too.”
Jing Tian spoke softly, and I listened to him in shock.
“In the beginning, I couldn’t say it out loud. It was quite difficult for me. But when we were locked in Tong Zhuo’s secret room, I became even more determined. Nanxing, I love you!” Jing Tian’s voice was soft, like a feather. It brushed against my heart, making me feel numb and itchy.
The car came to a stop slowly.
The traffic light ahead was red again.
I stood up halfway and reached out to turn Jing Tian’s face over. I kissed his lips heavily. I mimicked his action and bit the corner of his lips lightly. This was my brand!
Jing Tian, I love you too much!
The car started. I was so happy that I wanted to fly.
“Jing Tian, I love you!” I said softly. “You know the story of the mermaid, right? The mermaid used her voice to exchange for two legs from the witch so that she could be closer to her lover. The witch said that if the prince fell in love with her and married her, the spell would lose its effect. In the end, the mermaid got love, but she turned into sea foam. However, Jing Tian, I succeeded. In order to be with you, I had gone through too many hardships, both in my previous life and in this life. I didn’t give up. Even though I lost my memory, I still knew clearly that I had a loved one. Although I didn’t know who he was or where he was, I knew he was there!” Tears streamed down my face, but I smiled. “I succeeded. I’ve waited for you to arrive, and to hear those words, I’m so happy!”
Jing Tian’s car stopped by the side of the road slowly. He opened his arms and embraced me.
This was the moment we had truly opened our hearts since our reunion.
I wrapped my arms around Jing Tian’s neck and closed my eyes to seek his kiss.
This kiss was so tender and sentimental that it melted the separation between us for so many years.
At that moment, I thanked everyone, even Tong Hui, Tong Zhuo, Ma Ji, and my enemies, for bringing Jing Tian and me to the place that we were that day.
I finally understood how heavy Jing Tian’s promise was when he said he would never part with Nanxing again that day.
We would never be separated again. Life and death were not more important than us being together.
Under the setting sun, our shadows intertwined on the beach and stretched out in a long and thin line. It signified an endless entanglement.
The children walking the beach gave me beautiful conch shells and starfish. Thinking back to those muddled days on the island, the happiness felt so illusory.
I looked at Jing Tian beside me. My heart settled down again.
