Xing Bi glanced at Ai, her expression blank. "What is he talking about?"
Ai cleared her throat. "Well, Nian does like you very much. He is very sincere about you. So, if you could give him a chance as your boyfriend…"
Nian sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck.
"Like me?" She was flabbergasted. "How? When? Why? Wait, what?"
A confession was thrown at her out of nowhere and more so from a man whom she resented the most. She couldn't process the sudden feelings he attacked her with.
"Yes, I really love you, Xing Bi! You are so strong, cool and charming. You have such a beautiful but sassy heart. I love all of it! I-I only tricked you because I wanted to spend some time with you…"
Her mouth twitched. "Seeing me in debt trouble is your definition of spending time with me?"
He coughed hard. "T-that wasn't how it was supposed to happen. Uncle Jing really ruined it actually by appearing at the wrong time!"
