Gu Dai, yawning lazily, responded leisurely, "I know my own body, there won't be any problems. Besides, aren't you coming with me?"
Song Ling had insisted on looking after her, so if there was any need for action, she expected him to take charge. After all, it made sense to make use of him as a 'tool'.
Unaware of Gu Dai's thoughts, Song Ling felt a tremor in his heart upon hearing her say she had him by her side. He had many words of persuasion in mind, but they all turned into a muted affirmation, "Mhmm."
Song Ling added, "Since you trust me, I won't let anything happen to you."
Gu Dai simply responded, "Hmm."
Although Song Ling was driving, his mind was in turmoil, repeatedly picturing the overlap between Gu Dai's image and that of the girl from his memories.
He even started to believe that it might have been Gu Dai who saved him back then, not Jiang Yue as he had thought.
