Huo Shaoheng rested an arm on his bent knee as he glanced at Gu Nianzhi, who had lowered her eyes in embarrassment. He averted his gaze and looked out the window as he said, with a faint smile: "What do you want me to say?"
Her heart immediately sank.
It wasn't supposed to be like this!
She had poured her heart out to himβhe owed her a reply!
Gu Nianzhi lifted her head angrily and said boldly, "I said, I love you. What about you?"
"Oh." Huo Shaoheng nodded. He added nonchalantly, "Thank you."
Gu Nianzhi was reeling. She got up and threw the pillow in her arms at Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng raised an arm to block the pillow; it bounced off his arm and flew to the other side of the room.
Gu Nianzhi saw that her pillow attack had been laughably ineffective. She launched herself at Huo Shaoheng instead, pinning him down and glaring at him.
