"!!!"
Xiong Zhi's question came so sudden that Lu Yin Ze's thoughts braked. His eyes went wide.
His heart thumped fast and his mouth opened, but he could not say anything.
Xiong Zhi watched him closely. His expression was enough to tell her that he indeed felt so.
She closed her eyes momentarily, took a deep breath, and opened her eyes to stare at the beautiful man's frozen face.
"Don't love me, Yin Ze, because I can't return your feelings. Never."
Silence.
It took a while before his brain fully registered the words. His heart clenched.
It was like there were a thousand sharp knives slowly slicing at his heart.
Painful. Piercing.
The hand holding on her arm loosened.
Xiong Zhi saw his face turn pale, the hurt in his eyes, and the slight trembling of his pale lips.
Her heart felt uncomfortable as well.
