Earlier when Xiao Zhi Ren had really said those words to Ru, her reaction was nothing like his dream at all. In fact, her reaction was completely out of the box kind.
She had simply shrugged her shoulders and said, "Oh, well... As long as you don't treat me like a girl before others, it's fine with me."
Xiao Zhi Ren was truly dumbstruck by her words. He wondered whether he was too good at hiding his emotions or she was too clueless about such emotions. But his heart inclined towards the latter option since she didn't seem like the kind of person who would have experienced love.
He thought his words were suggestive enough but she acted like they were talking about the weather and there was nothing wrong at all.
