Chapter 85

Huo Jihan noticed Lin Yi's movement, and his body tensed for a moment.

Clearly, Lin Yi's action had taken him by surprise.

He cautiously lowered his head to look at Lin Yi, his dark eyes filled with an indescribable sense of astonishment.

Outside the eaves, the heavy rain continued unabated, as if playing a passionate and romantic symphony.

Under the eaves, it felt like they were in a separate enclosed space, each gaze, heartbeat, and breath filled with unparalleled tension and pull.

After Lin Yi hugged Huo Jihan briefly, he withdrew his hand.

But Huo Jihan didn't intend to let this moment pass easily. He looked intently at Lin Yi, his voice low and hoarse: "Your behavior just now can't be ignored, can it?"

To be honest, Lin Yi's emotions were far from calm at that moment.

His heart was beating loudly, almost drowning out the sound of the heavy rain.

When he met Huo Jihan's dark eyes, his mind went a bit hazy and uncontrollable, and a natural smile appeared on his lips: "It seems indeed it can't be ignored."

There was also a hint of a smile in Huo Jihan's dark eyes. He held Lin Yi tightly without letting go, then asked: "Lin Yi, can I take this as your acceptance of my pursuit?"

Huo Jihan's voice was magnetic and pleasant, especially since they were so close that Lin Yi could feel the vibrations in his chest.

Lin Yi felt light-headed, as if he were standing on soft clouds. He joked: "What if I give a negative answer right now?"

The smile in Huo Jihan's eyes deepened: "Then I don't mind using some coercive measures."

Lin Yi wasn't scared at all; his eyes sparkled, and he feigned a sigh: "Ah, so Mr. Huo is this kind of person."

Huo Jihan played along: "Mm."

But clearly, he was more concerned about another matter: "So, what's your answer?"

Lin Yi smiled: "Since you put it that way, I seem to have no other choice."

His answer was already clear.

Everything happened naturally, without any surprise.

When Lin Yi said those words, Huo Jihan's eyes flashed intensely, revealing the depth of his emotional turmoil.

He looked at Lin Yi ardently: "You said it yourself."

Lin Yi nodded with a smile: "Mm, no regrets."

At that moment, the rain under the eaves grew even louder, splashing water mist everywhere.

The last sliver of light in the sky gradually faded away.

For a while, it seemed as if the whole world was left with only the two of them.

They stood under the eaves, embracing each other, gazing into each other's eyes without blinking, their intense emotions overwhelming.

Their breathing, heartbeats, and thoughts were all disordered, focused solely on the person in front of them.

After a while, Huo Jihan released Lin Yi, then slid his hand down Lin Yi's slender waist and grabbed his hand.

Lin Yi hadn't yet realized what Huo Jihan was doing.

In the next second, Huo Jihan took out a ring box from his coat pocket, opened it, and took out a men's ring.

Lin Yi looked at the ring, his eyes widening slightly, and asked instinctively: "You've been carrying a ring with you?"
