178 'Never'

Hei-Ran was stunned to hear what Jinhai had just said. Her eyes stayed on him as she continued to stare at him unblinkingly.

This had got to be a joke right? She asked herself, but the look on Jinhai's face didn't reveal much. He had to be joking.

Jinhai was also very shocked after blurting such a thing out. He had not planned it. Her question had taken him unaware and that was why he had blurted that out. What was he to do now?

Seeing how stunned she was he didn't know what to do or say to recant what he had just said.
