Sure enough, Young Master Li was very pleased, though none of it showed on his face. He merely shook his head and said, "Just as I thought, A-Yi. You've never tasted love, which is why you'd think that way."
"Nothing in this world is more painful than being unable to convey the sincere feelings of one's truest love."
"Do you know, lately, whenever I wake from dreams at midnight, I even feel that perhaps I told her I loved her centuries ago. That must be why we were granted this reunion in this life..."
Sun Yi listened attentively, nodding as he did so, indicating that he would definitely spread the matter around school and let everyone—Belvia in particular—know just how deeply Young Master Li's feelings ran.
That was Young Master Li's intention as well. Otherwise, why would he let someone rattle on at him for so long? What allowed Sun Yi to win Young Master Li's favor was precisely that he was sensible, capable, and knew to see through things without exposing them.
Compared with the cliché of directly giving flowers and gifts, directly building up a persona was undoubtedly a move only high-level players could pull off.
Yet while the two were chatting, waves of commotion rose from below. Young Master Li was the first to notice that the girls gathered around him had all shifted their attention to their phones, whispering among themselves as they looked at their screens.
This clearly did not fit his script.
He was treating them to dinner, not inviting them here to stare at their phones.
If no one watched him, then wouldn't he be standing up here alone in the wind like an idiot?
So he hurriedly said, "A-Yi, something seems to have happened downstairs. Let's go see what's going on."
