"Everyone knows I like you." His gaze burned bright. "Everyone but you. What would you call that, if not stupid?"
Tang Qiu's brows pinched together. "Is this some kind of a dare?"
He fought the urge to facepalm. "You mean you really can't tell?"
"Tell what?" Tang Qiu surveyed their surroundings. "Wherever your friends are, they can come out now."
Ning Mufan couldn't swallow the laugh that burst from his chest. He gripped her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. "This isn't a joke, Tang Qiu. I like you."
"Why?" In her confusion, she spoke without thinking. "We don't even know each other well."
She made him want to spit blood. He breathed deeply, mustering his courage. "You caught my eye ever since I first saw you in Professor Sun's class. I've been attracted to you for years. I really like you, Tang Qiu. Won't you give me a chance?"
