Qiao Ning didn't understand why he was asking her such questions, but she answered honestly: "Yes, I have always considered him a friend."
Chen Shuinan seemed slightly satisfied with her answer and asked again, "Do you have anyone you like?"
"...No..." Qiao Ning shook her head, but for some reason, her heart started pounding in her chest.
She didn't know why she was so nervous, it just felt odd that Shuinan was asking her these kinds of questions...
As expected, Shuinan suddenly said, "Since you don't have anyone, you might as well stick with me! You don't have to answer right away, you can try spending some time with me before deciding!"
Shocked, Qiao Ning widened her eyes, finding it hard to believe and asked, "Director Chen, what... what are you saying?"
"It means exactly what you think it means. Let's leave it at that!" After saying that, he gave her a gentle pat on the head before walking away.
Qiao Ning was rooted to the spot, unable to regain her composure.
