Cui Yuanyang didn't know if she was really just naïve due to her youth... Anyway, the more people said it, including Zhao Changhe himself, the less she admitted it, telling herself that it was indeed true affection.
People always felt that age meant naïveté, yet they often forgot that there's another term also applicable at the time, called rebellion. Wasn't her initial solo foray into the stronghold and later running away to meet Zhao Changhe all because of this?
When Zhao Changhe left, she thought of him every day, jumping for joy at the mention of his war achievements in the Chaotic World Book, boasting to everyone, "You see, my brother Zhao is amazing!"
Thus, all her thoughts boiled down to "I like him."
But Yangyang never knew what to do when you liked someone, nor had she ever felt the kind of urge described in storybooks, the urge to kiss the other person. At most, she had felt a vague expectation, not knowing what it felt like... but a little curious to try it.
