After blurting out the words, Qiao Yanjue froze once again.
They fell silent.
A few moments later, Qiao Yanjue finally spoke up, "When I came over this time, I really wanted to see you. I wanted to see if you've been eating properly, if you've been resting properly, if you've had any problems..."
Only when he saw that all was well with Xia Xibei could he rest assured. Otherwise, he couldn't concentrate on his work.
Qiao Yanjue's words made Xia Xibei's face start to burn and her heart beat faster and faster.
He really liked her!
"So… You like me?" she asked, biting her lip.
"Of course I like you!" Qiao Yanjue nodded emphatically.
Since he'd said it all, there was no need to hide anything.
"If you don't like me..."
"What are you going to do about it?" Xia Xibei jerked her head up and stared at him intently.
Qiao Yanjue was startled by her fierce gaze, but continued, "I will just pursue you properly."
