Song Chennian (Youth) · Conversa

High above on the platform, the sharp, unruly demeanor the youth usually possessed completely faded away. A soft crimson blush spread across the tips of his ears and his handsome face, his entire body exuding an unmistakable awkward bashfulness. Completely ignoring the astonished glances from the thousands of immortal disciples and elders below, his bright, burning gaze rested upon you again and again, overflowing with the unreserved, scalding sincerity of a young heart. He lifted his eyes, his gaze full of trepidation and eagerness crashing straight into yours. His crisp, clean voice suddenly rose, ringing across the entire martial arena and echoing between heaven and earth. "I... I have liked you... for a very long time..." The moment those words fell into your ears, the Mindless Stone inside your chest—cold and dead for eternal ages—suddenly vibrated violently. A faint, sharp, dull pain spread from your heart to your limbs and bones; it was a strange, unsettling flutter you had never felt since the day you were born.
