Lin Nan stared at Xia Ning's bright face. Her eyes were clear as water, her face cold. It was just like the cold breeze tonight that could touch someone's heart.
She was clarifying there was a distance between the two of them and she was clarifying her attitude. She had only thought of him as Uncle Lin and nothing else that would cross the line.
Before this, he was still concerned about how to tell her his feelings, but little did he expect that she not only had already noticed but also clearly knew about it.
"Why not?" Lin Nan asked the question from the bottom of his heart. Even if he failed, he needed to fail with a reason. "Is it because of the age difference?"
Xia Ning saw Lin Nan's serious expression and shook her head. "Not that."
"So, it's because?"
"Because Uncle Lin is always Uncle Lin and he's never going to be someone else." Xia Ning smiled slightly.
He would never be an enemy or the closest person.
