Contrary to what Ling thought, Xuefeng considered this connection seriously and asked, "Is there a method to test the level of affection so we can be sure? I'm open to trying anyway. I think that we have a big chance of success actually."
Hearing his, Ling opened her eyes and a happy smile appeared on her face on its own as she asked with hope, "Does that mean… you really love me too?"
Even if Xuefeng was a dummy sometimes, Ling knew that he was a good guy and he really cared about her. If it was any other guy, they wouldn't care about her feelings like Xuefeng does, and would probably just treat her like a tool. Even if Xuefeng was too kind sometimes, she enjoyed spending time with him and only wanted more every day.
