But that surprise was quickly followed by joy—the joy of knowing Shen Nian trusted him.
'If Shen Nian didn't trust him, she never would have risked telling him something so private. She could have just kept hiding it from him.'
Held in Lu Cheng's embrace, Shen Nian's anxious heart finally settled upon hearing his words.
'He wasn't scared, and he accepted it. This is wonderful!'
"Yes, of course I trust you! It's not that I was intentionally hiding it from you. It's just... even I find the existence of the space so incredible that I didn't know how to tell you."
"You never have to hold back with me. Just be yourself."
After he spoke, Lu Cheng placed his hands on Shen Nian's shoulders and turned her to face him.
"Let's put that aside for now. First, tell me, does this space harm you in any way?"
