"You won't ask me why exactly I insist on helping you?"
Xiaoling's eyes twitched. His questions were clearly hinting to her, but she wanted to play dumb. She internally laughed and interlocked her hands behind her back with confidence.
"Why don't you just tell me?" She asked innocently as if she hadn't taken the hint.
The corner of Weisheng's lip curled into a half-smile. He could see where she wanted to take the conversation. That was fine, too. He had always expressed the value of words to her. If words could convey how he felt, it would be more than enough.
"Do you dare hear it?" Weisheng asked, "If I said it, there's no going back, you know?"
Xiaoling couldn't help but smile at his remark. He was very thoughtful of her situation to even suggest it.
"Do you dare not say it and watch someone else take the lead?" She asked while giggling.
Weisheng frowned slightly, "So, you'll accept just anyone?' He asked with a scoff.
