Lan Ningzhen listened to her own frantic heartbeat but could not guess what kind of answer she truly wanted to hear. Her heart was in turmoil, yet so anxious. Did he fall for Lan Ningzhen?
"Can you feel whether I like you?" Xie Jue responded with a question instead of an answer. His inquiry was subtle, gentle, and accompanied by a faint smile in his eyes as he gazed at her. Neither Xie Jue nor Lan Ningzhen had seen him smile so tenderly before. Lan Ningzhen's heart raced wildly, as if a small rabbit were pounding in her chest. "I can feel it!"
Indeed, emotions are incredibly private and subtle feelings. Whether you like someone, whether they like you, it's something you can sense—all revealed in an unintentional touch or a lingering glance. She could feel Xie Jue's affection. It was for this reason that her heart became a mixture of sorrow and joy.
