Qi Yue hadn't expected that Gu Huai's answer would be so definite.
All along, she had felt that since they hadn't known each other for long, Gu Huai agreeing to like her and date her still felt unreal to her.
As Qi Yue thought this, she couldn't help but ask, "Actually, I've always had a question I wanted to ask you..."
Gu Huai: "Ask."
Qi Yue: "Do you... really like me?"
Gu Huai: "..."
Faced with Qi Yue's troubled and confused expression, Gu Huai's look became rather helpless.
He pinched the bridge of his nose: "Qi Yue, actually, as for what Jiang Lang and the others say, I don't simply ignore them, nor is it because I'm confident, it's just that I... can't do it...
Can't feign indifference towards you, can't keep my distance with you, can't maintain my rational self-control around you.
