Gu Dai, growing impatient with Song Ling's silence, finally spoke up, "If you have something to ask, just ask."
Song Ling pursed his lips, then casually, as if it were an afterthought, asked while looking ahead, "How many boyfriends have you had before?"
Gu Dai frowned, puzzled by his odd line of questioning and his strange attitude towards her lately.
Seeing that Gu Dai didn't respond, Song Ling pressed on, "With so many men chasing you abroad, you must have had quite a few, right?"
This was a question Song Ling had long wanted to ask. Finally voicing it seemed to relieve some of the heaviness in his chest.
Gu Dai, with a complex expression, asked, "Is this question important?"
Song Ling gritted his teeth, "It's important!"
Gu Dai pondered for a moment, then replied, "I don't remember. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't."
