Chapter 31

(Rhian's pov)

"I like you, Rhian." The word suddenly came out of his mouth.

I was almost stunned by him and my chest was pounding so fast.

"What are you saying, Xian? You've already stopped. Do you think you're going to fool me?" I say with skepticism. I wanted to believe what he was saying, but it seemed like someone was also holding myself back that maybe he was just joking. Even though Xian is still naughty, especially with this kind of nonsense.

I was even more upset with him when he grinned and laughed out loud.

I told you so. He was just joking. I could almost believe what he was saying. But, it was as if I felt pain in my heart when I realized that not everything was true.
