Xia Yangyang blushed but didn't know what to say: "Obviously it's you... you're the one being unreasonable."
Gu Qichen returned to his original seat.
The corner of his mouth curved into a faint smile.
Gu Qichen started speaking: "Yangyang, the truth is that deep down you still like me, don't you?"
Gu Qichen's words felt like tearing away the thin veil between them entirely.
Xia Yangyang had been unwilling to admit it all along—not because she couldn't, but because she didn't want to.
She truly couldn't ignore this man's presence.
She had undeniably begun to feel something for him…
Now that she had been seen through, Xia Yangyang decided not to deny it anymore.
Xia Yangyang spoke frankly: "Gu Qichen, there's something unresolved between us, so I can't face you just yet. Give me some time. There's something I need to understand, and once I figure it out, we'll talk about what's between us."
Xia Yangyang's expression was very serious.
