Ning Yichen glanced at her and finally understood why it had taken so long for this girl to seize such an opportunity after coming to Yangdong City.
Her principled nature seemed a bit too strong.
"Since that's the case, it seems like I'm also breaking the rules by forcefully integrating you into the trainee team," Ning Yichen smiled, "Is there any difference?"
Lu Qixi was at a loss for words.
"Then... then forget it," she said disappointedly, her shoulders falling. "I'll think of another way."
Ning Yichen smiled helplessly, "I'm helping you as a friend, not as...compensation. Do you understand?"
Lu Qixi silently looked at him, "But if it wasn't for that night, would you consider me a friend?"
"Yes," Ning Yichen asserted, "Don't forget, you helped me first that night... If it hadn't been for what happened afterward, I would have found a way to repay you."
Lu Qixi seemed to be persuaded, "Then... consider it a way of returning a favor to me?"
