Qing Shan was looking straightly at the wall the moment she asked that question. She looked composed and tranquil but the ripples in her eyes betrayed the truth. Anxiety was brimming inside her and she was afraid that if she looked at Zi Jue, everything would spill out.
A long silence dragged on between them. Qing Shan was nearly losing her mind and was about to snap when she finally heard Zi Jue's voice.
"I don't like you."
He said curtly. Qing Shan felt an explosion in her mind. She completely blanked out at his unexpected answer. She questioned herself. Was she just assuming all along? Was she mistaken? Her mind was jumping to all sorts of conclusion but it was cut off when Zi Jue spoke again.
"I don't just like you, Yan Qing Shan. I love you."
