Kyrian tilted his head slightly, considering her words.
"You are special too."
Her smile froze for a moment, her eyes widening slightly. Then her cheeks once again took on a faint rosy hue, a blush spreading rapidly.
"You really..." She did not finish the sentence.
"I just say what I think."
"I know."
And that was precisely what made everything different. She knew he was not trying to please her, there was no hidden intention, no calculation, or strategy.
Kyrian simply said what he believed to be true, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
The conversation continued, flowing like a river finding its course. Kyrian shared some of his experiences, talked about cultivation techniques, the knowledge he had recently acquired, and his experiences with Sun Luguo at the forge.
Gao Ziyue listened attentively, asking questions at times, correcting small details, or adding information she knew at others.
