"He's got the grit."
"Or maybe he's got a death wish."
Xia Haoran looked at Rong as he continued, "Death wish? I don't think so. Ruru really loves him. I don't think she will hurt him."
Rong observed Ru's expressions that were darkening because of how abruptly she was stopped. With a graceful simplicity, he said, "It's a battle between rationality and emotions. Have you ever seen your Ruru being ruled by her feelings?"
Xia Haoran paused before he said in a casual tone, "That was back then. Ruru from back then and now are two very different people."
"And she thinks you are mature now." Rong shook his head and rubbed Xia Haoran's head saying, "A leopard can't change its spots."
Xia Haoran couldn't comprehend the meaning behind Rong's words but he didn't need to either.
On the side, Ru stood up to face Xiao Zhiren as she repeated, "No? Are you really trying to stop me right now from killing her?"
