Jin Xiangdong could not help but hold Lu Jia’er’s hand tightly. “Jia’er, Jason is an important part of my life but you cannot be replaced, either. If you don’t want to go along with this, it is fine! When we get home, I will tell my father to cancel tomorrow’s test.”

Lu Jia’er contradicted him. “Ace, you have misunderstood me. I didn’t mean to desert in the face of a battle.”

“I didn’t misunderstand you! I don’t want to turn you into a test subject, which can very likely put you in harm and danger’s way.” Jin Xiangdong stressed.

Lu Jia’er turned around to him and smiled. “Ace, you have changed!” said Lu Jia’er.

Jin Xiangdong could tell what she was implying. “Do you find me indecisive?”

Lu Jia’er shook her head. “No. I find myself lucky to have met you. I fell in love with you and you, me. But this fortunate love makes me feel conflicted. I have become your soft spot. While I am enjoying the happiness of being protected by you, I am worried that you can be in danger because of me.”

Lu Jia’er revealed her private thoughts so candidly. “Jia’er, thank you for telling me this. But when I am with you, I have nothing to fear in the face of danger. Besides, you and I are different from others anyways. Isn’t love boring when there is nothing special?” said Jin Xiangdong.

Lu Jia’er burst into laughter. “I didn’t know that you have the genes of adventure built in you!”

Jin Xiangdong looked into her eyes and laughed with her. “I would rather use the courage of love to describe me than adventurous!”

“Courage of love?” Lu Jia’er mumbled the words.

“In the old days, apart from my family, I didn’t know if I could love someone else so dearly that I would miss the person so much when I had just said goodbye. You have shown me what love is like. I cannot think of anything but having you in my life. Therefore, no matter what is coming for us, I will have the courage to face it with you.” Jin Xiangdong added.

Lu Jia’er’s heart was filled with warmth. The corners of her mouth were raised. “Ace, right now you are so full of honeyed words.”

“Do you not like it?” Jin Xiangdong frowned.

“No woman would hate the honeyed words. Besides, those sweet words can serve as the catalyst in bettering the relationship between a couple.” Lu Jia’er replied.

Jin Xiangdong grinned at her answer. “Then how is the catalyst I produced working for us now?”

“It is like a boulder is thrown into the lake of my heart. There are ripples in the lake now!” Lu Jia’er laughed.

Jin Xiangdong’s smile widened. He stroked her hair gently.

Looking at Jin Xiangdong’s gentle smile and feeling his touch, Lu Jia’er remembered some words a writer once wrote: if I loved you and you happened to love me, when your hair was straggly, I would smile and stroke it for you. My hand would linger on your hair for a while. However, if when I loved you and you happened not to love me, when your hair was straggly, I would merely remind you that your hair was in tangles!

At the moment, her once tidy hair was in a mess because of his stroking. Yet, her unsettled heart was thoroughly tamed by him. It was as if he was a deity that could create magic that could unlock happiness. He could take away her worries and concerns and create a happy and peaceful world for her. Under his protection, she was neither an outlier nor an AI, but a lady that he cared about within his heart.

Yes, she was lucky, to have met him, and to have fallen in love with him. Hopefully, the love shared between them could be surrounded by good fortune forever.
