The bright, captivating Princess Yuexi let that rough palm, covered in scars, rest on her head. She even tilted her head and gently rubbed against his palm.
The girl's eyes were filled with anticipation and hope.
She liked the masculine scent about Mu Fan very, very much. She liked every smile he gave her very, very much.
When a girl liked a boy, everything about him was unconditionally wonderful.
And now, this clever girl who could handle the affairs of an entire nation with ease had completely fallen into the whirlpool of love.
Mu Fan gently ruffled the girl's silky golden hair, then said warmly,
"I still have something very important to do—something even more important than my life."
"And... there's a girl waiting for me."
Mu Fan's gaze was exceptionally gentle, because Yue Xi at this moment was so much like Nuonuo had been.
They had the same clear, transparent, pure eyes. Yet Yue Xi's feelings were more direct and braver. The girl was so straightforward that he could not bear to hurt her.
But Mu Fan had no choice but to tell Yue Xi these things, because far away in the Third Star System, at Taoyun Academy, there was still a girl with a crystal-pure heart who missed him.
Yue Xi looked stubbornly at Mu Fan, her pearly teeth clenched tight.
After hearing those words, she lowered her head. When she raised it again, she wore a beautiful smile, but Mu Fan could feel her body trembling.
Yue Xi was merely trying her hardest not to cry.
"Will you come here again in the future?"
The girl's reddened eyes stared straight at Mu Fan, mist swirling in her pupils like a nebula.
"I... will come again."
Mu Fan clenched his jaw, then nodded.
"Good. Then go!"
