"Did you finally confess?" Shen Ruojing asked this question while talking to Leng Ling.
Leng Ling replied no.
Shen Ruojing hesitated and asked, "Why not?"
Leng Ling replied, "Because I'm afraid that in the end, we won't even be able to remain friends."
Shen Ruojing was taken aback.
Leng Ling then hung up the phone.
What 518 didn't know was that the girl Dugu Xiao liked was her. Dugu Xiao had a solitary personality, and once he decided on someone, he would never change. Leng Ling understood him. Over the past six years, his feelings for 518 hadn't faded; they had only grown deeper, and that was the best proof. He would never like anyone else in his life, so he had decided not to marry.
Leng Ling smiled. She was the same. She would never like anyone else in her life, so she would protect him, just as he protected her.
