"Who... who wants to stay by your side?" Shao He stiffened her neck, putting on a defiant façade, but inside she was scoffing. She didn't want to stay by his side at all!
Pei Huaian suddenly leaned in close, whispering right at her nose tip, "I know, you like me too, right?"
Shao He, frightened, quickly turned her head away, not wanting to meet his gaze, but Pei Huaian held her face.
"You..." Shao He felt utterly panicked inside.
Pei Huaian gazed at her, speaking slowly and deliberately, "If you didn't like me, why would your face turn red just from our eyes meeting?"
Shao He glared at him, how did he know everything, all her secrets laid bare before him!
"So, do you really like me or not?" Pei Huaian pressed, his dark pupils tightening around her.
He never expected her to fall in love with him, as he had grown accustomed to loneliness. He only hoped she would not leave, no matter what the conditions he was willing to endure.
