Su Tong took a deep breath, finally mustering her courage, and then spoke her mind, " Huo Yuhao, I like you. From the moment you first showed your talent, I've learned about your deeds and followed you closely. Some of them I've even witnessed with my own eyes. You are a true hero."
"You helped other countries' sects rescue people, you risked your life against Titled Douluo, you stepped forward time and time again, even knowing the dangers ahead. I remember every single thing you did."
"You have a very gentle personality and treat girls with great politeness. You would never do anything to hurt a girl. In fact, all the girls around you are attracted to you because they have been redeemed by you in the past and because of your personal charm, which is why they like you."
"I asked Senior Ma Xiaotao about this, and this is what she told me."
"In the Sea God's Fate, you could have followed the rules and chosen one, but you didn't want them to be sad because of their choice, so you forcefully took them away, disregarding the rules."
"Also, I heard your grilled fish is delicious, it's just a pity I've never had a chance to try it."
Huo Yuhao paused slightly, then a gentle smile appeared on his lips, "It seems, Su Tong, you really know me."
Su Tong nodded vigorously, her voice full of affirmation. "That's right, I admire you very much."
Huo Yuhao suddenly understood what was going on. He smiled gently and asked, "Admiration? So what you just called liking someone, was it just admiration?"
"No, they're different."
Su Tong immediately shook her head, and her speech became fluent.
"I like you, in a romantic sense."
"I like you as a person. I like you because of you, because I admire your perseverance and determination, even in the face of adversity. I like Huo Yuhao simply because of Huo Yuhao, simply because you are you."
Huo Yuhao was visibly stunned. Looking at the girl's sincere expression, after a while, a gentle smile slowly appeared on his lips. It was a smile that seemed to find her very interesting, not in a funny way, but more like the kind of smile that comes from the movie "Tang Bohu Qiuxiang." Perhaps this way of putting it would make it clearer to everyone.
"Oh, I see. Speaking of which, Su Tong, didn't you just say you haven't tried my grilled fish yet?" He smiled and extended an invitation. "Would you like to try it now? It's on you." A Sisi smile appeared on Su Tong cool face, and she nodded. "Sure."
In fact, Huo Yuhao had also thought about the girls he had liked and the girls who liked him. He was actually someone who loved reminiscing the most.
Being able to deeply remember past hatred and also understand the love others have for him, the God of Emotion is truly the most suitable Godhood for him.
He had actually thought about Su Tong before.
However, I thought I would never have the chance to see her again. I thought that when the Sea God's Fate opens again, I could go up there and run into a few old acquaintances.
But unexpectedly, she came to me herself and said she admired me.
To his utter surprise, fate brought her back to him in this way.
Fate is truly unpredictable; God really did send a blessing.
This seems like the best arrangement.
This is Sea God Lake, and we caught several plump fish right there in Sea God Lake.
A barbecue grill was set up in a quiet spot on Sea God Lake.
The lake shimmered, a gentle breeze blew, the scenery was delightful, and with a beautiful woman by my side, it was truly a delightful and refreshing experience.
He skillfully flipped the fish on the grill, the oil dripping onto the charcoal and sizzling, the aroma gradually spreading.
What's on my mind? If I were an ordinary person, would my final outcome be like this?
However, it's also possible that not. An ordinary person probably wouldn't even be qualified to meet Su Tong. Ultimately, this is still a world where strength reigns supreme.
Huo Yuhao picked up the freshly grilled fish he was holding and handed it to Su Tong: "Here you go."
Su Tong reached out and took it, her fingers inadvertently touching his. Just like in a campus idol drama, the two of them, Dai-sensei and Yukino, touched each other's fingers, blushing furiously.
She trembled slightly. Huo Yuhao naturally cautioned, "Be careful, it's hot."
She looked down at the golden, glistening grilled fish in her hand, then at Huo Yuhao's busy figure, and felt a bittersweet feeling well up inside her. She smiled and thought, "If only God had let me meet you sooner. There are so many things you've been through that I haven't been able to be there for you."
Su Tong blew on the fish, then took a small bite. The skin was crispy, the inside tender, and the unique flavor of spices filled her mouth. "Delicious!"
Her eyes seemed to be sparkling.
"Your grilled fish lives up to its reputation; it's delicious!"
Huo Yuhao smiled smugly and said, "Of course! To be honest, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call me the number one chef in the world."
"Is becoming the world's number one chef your goal?" Su Tong asked curiously.
"Perhaps." Huo Yuhao flipped the grilled fish, his tone relaxed.
Su Tong chuckled and said, "I never imagined that our Shrek Academy's great hero Huo Yuhao's goal would be to become the world's number one chef."
Huo Yuhao paused, looked at her, and said, "Actually, you've made some inaccuracies in both of these points."
Seeing Su Tong's puzzled expression, he continued to explain, "I've never been a great hero. I went to save those people simply because I wanted to. Facing Titled Douluo, even with the determination to die, was all for my friend to save her mother. A promise made must be kept."
Su Tong gently shook her head and said affirmatively, "Isn't that what a hero is? Huo Yuhao, you're willing to give your life for your friends, that's why so many miracles happen around you."
She paused, her voice softening, "Perhaps I can understand why you possess such immense power; the pain you've endured must have been immense."
Huo Yuhao also said, " Su Tong, you're absolutely right. Everyone marvels at your strength, but no one ever thinks about the pain of becoming stronger."
Su Tong said softly, "Actually, if I hadn't kept hearing about you, I might have been an arrogant person too. It's strange, isn't it? Even though we've never met, I just feel that you're exceptionally nice."
Huo Yuhao looked at the surface of Sea God Lake, his voice calm. "I don't know if I'm a good person, I just want to be myself."
Su Tong put down the half-eaten grilled fish, looked up into his eyes, and smiled faintly, "The grilled fish was delicious, and you were wonderful too. Now, Huo Yuhao, can you tell me your answer?"
P. S.: Su Tong was a girl with the Heavenly Snow Woman Martial Soul during the second Sea God's Fate event. Brothers, she was the one who went on a blind date with Huo Yuhao before and expressed her love for him, but it was just a case of admiring strength. However, I've changed that now.
As for whether she admires strength or not, I'm more inclined to believe that she feels Huo Yuhao is also the Ultimate Ice, and she herself is also the Ultimate Ice, so the two of them are a good match.
However, if Huo Yuhao is just an ordinary person with Twin Martial Souls, then Huo Yuhao as an ordinary person is indeed a good match. But it's uncertain whether Su Tong would approve of him.
