Xie Ningyuan's expression was composed. "I'm fine for now."
'Just for now…'
Lu Sangjiu lowered her gaze, falling silent for a moment. But this time, unlike before, she didn't maintain the polite distance she usually kept between people.
Even though she could tell he didn't want to elaborate, she pressed him anyway. "What do you mean, 'for now'?"
Xie Ningyuan was taken aback for a moment, apparently not expecting her to press the issue.
Having observed Lu Sangjiu in secret for quite some time, he felt he understood her reasonably well.
She always seemed to be smiling and was kind to those around her, but deep down, she kept a barrier between herself and everyone else.
She cherished her friends, but she always maintained a certain line that she would never cross.
But with this question… she had crossed it.
As Xie Ningyuan remained silent, Lu Sangjiu showed no sign of backing down. Her eyes were fixed on him, waiting for an answer.
