Su Xingyu was a mess, feeling the awkwardness of having her secret revealed. She mumbled softly, "No, no way? How could I possibly have something to ask of you? I really, really just want to compensate you."

She suddenly looked up at him, seeing his deep, narrow eyes staring at her, like a hunter patiently watching his prey. Her heart involuntarily jumped, and she quickly lowered her head again.
Above her, his voice came, "Really not going to say it? Then there won't be a chance."
