Gu Annan's teacup paused, suspended in mid-air.
His gaze shifted toward Lu Wanwan, serious in a way she had never seen before, devoid of any jest.
His tone was probing, allowing no room for retreat.
Lu Wanwan waited in silence, unsure whether to continue questioning.
But since she had already brought it up, she was not willing to let it go just like that.
It had always been a knot in her heart.
That day, she had gone out with some classmates. Bolstered by a few extra drinks, she had decided to confess her feelings to him formally.
Before that, she felt that Gu Annan had accepted her enough, and there was only a thin veil left unbroken between them.
Why not give it a try? Maybe one more step forward, and he could officially become her boyfriend.
She had already lost a lot of her self-respect because of him and didn't mind losing it one more time, besides, he couldn't possibly say no.
