These words stunned Pei Yilan.
She was hesitant about whether to tell him about her feelings or not. In panic, she threw the question back.
"What do you think?"
Jiang Ye looked into her eyes.
He tried to find the emotion she wanted to express and asked with uncertainty, "Because you like me?"
With her thought being seen through, Pei Yilan had no intention of hiding anything now.
"Yes." She gripped the corner of her shirt nervously, but her eyes were firm. "I fell in love with you the first time we met."
Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat.
This was the first time he had encountered such a passionate confession. Without knowing how to respond, he chose to lower his head and remain silent.
Pei Yilan was not surprised by his reaction.
She handed him the chopsticks and asked casually, "Jiang Ye, do you only treat me as a friend?"
"Yes," he replied bluntly.
