"Sometimes, I can be real!" His lips moved slightly as he reached out to grab her wrist and held it tightly. He looked at her and said, "Nanxi, I don't mind occasionally being your protector, as long as you're willing!"
"I'm not willing!" She reflexively blurted out in a loud voice.
She turned her head, not looking at him, "Mr. Lu, you've overstepped!"
Lu Yinchu pressed his lips together without denying, "Nanxi, I admit, I really enjoy the feeling of being with you. I think, I do like you a bit!"
"..." Nanxi was stunned, looking at him in disbelief.
Lu Yinchu gave a light laugh, continuing, "Don't misunderstand. I like you, but for now, it's just liking."
"I have a boyfriend!"
"Do you love him?"
"..." Nanxi didn't answer or rather, she didn't know how to respond.
Li Weihuan had asked her this question before…
"Nanxi, why do I emphasize the word 'like'? Because you should understand better than me. Liking is not the same as love, nor is it sympathy or gratitude!"
