Wen Shan was taken aback by Nalan Chunbo's question. She had intended to divert the topic, but his serious and solemn expression made her change her mind.
"I just like you. I've liked you ever since I first attended your speech. If I knew why I like you, I might have gotten you to like me back and we'd already be together—do you think I'd have to do all these now?" Wen Shan cupped her chin, bulged her cheeks like a pufferfish, and looked at Nalan Chunbo.
He was handsome.
Brother Gu was even more handsome, yet she didn't fall for him. She was certain that her admiration toward Nalan Chunbo was not superficial.
"If you say I'm into your looks, Brother Gu is more handsome. I can just like him, but I don't. I like you," Wen Shan said in a determined and firm tone, emphasizing the last three words as she locked her gaze at him.
Nalan Chunbo was taken aback by her statement as it came unexpectedly, and he didn't expect her seriousness in saying this too.
