He liked her and couldn't bear to part with her...
Even if he had not been clear before, his words now were an undeniable expression of his feelings for her. He actually liked her!
He liked her... He liked her!
Bai Beibei was absolutely floored by his confession. It was as if she was floating in the sky, in an illusory realm where truth and falsehoods were reversed.
She had always thought her love for him was unrequited. Sometimes, she could not help but feel like she was not worthy of him. To think... He liked her!
It took her some time to process the information and thus, her reaction was delayed. "D-don't joke with me like that, I can't afford to..."
Bai Beibei tried to push him away and get up.
Gong Yi grabbed her shoulder tightly, stopping her. "Bai Beibei, what exactly are you afraid of?"
What was she afraid of?
That was a good question.
