Mubai didn't to intend to let her wiggle out of this one, so he pressed, "What about me? What am I to you?"
"You…" Xinghe opened her mouth to say something but no words came out. The atmosphere suddenly became extremely weird and awkward. Mubai kept staring at her with anticipation, waiting for her answer.
He wanted to know what his position in her heart was. He did promise her that he would wait, but he was still dying to know where he stood in the grand scheme of things.
Xinghe finally answered, "You are also my friend."
Mubai couldn't believe he just got friend-zoned.
Xinghe continued to explain, "Even though it might be weird for us to be friends but…"
"Xia Xinghe," Mubai interrupted her with a helpless shake of his head. "Do you think I'm willing to stay as your friend?"
"…"
"I'm sure you know my intentions." Mubai stared at her with burning passion. "Tell me the truth, what is your heart saying at this moment?"
