Chapter 71

Lin Yi didn't run away, but he was deeply shocked and couldn't find the words to speak.

What had Huo Jihan just said?

He actually said he liked him?

The key was that Huo Jihan's confession was different from others. Others simply expressed their feelings, but Huo Jihan not only expressed his feelings but also asked if Lin Yi could accept them.

When Huo Jihan treated someone well, he truly went all out. Even in expressing his affection, he sought the other person's opinion, showing utmost respect.

Lin Yi looked at Huo Jihan before him, his mind momentarily blank.

He had never thought about love and romance, at least not in connection with Huo Jihan.

Huo Jihan was usually calm and restrained, like someone without emotions. Could such a person fall in love?

It wasn't that he hadn't noticed that Huo Jihan treated him differently from others, but he assumed it was because they lived under the same roof, so Huo Jihan showed him some favoritism.

Never did he expect that Huo Jihan actually liked him.

At this moment, Lin Yi and Huo Jihan were very close, and every breath carried the scent of the other, making his thoughts hazy.

He tried to compose himself and then said, "Sorry, I haven't thought about these things."

Huo Jihan, upon hearing this, didn't back down but said, "I know."

He knew Lin Yi had never considered matters of love, which is why he chose to be direct.

Only by being straightforward could Lin Yi start viewing their interactions from a new perspective.

Lin Yi didn't expect Huo Jihan to be so prepared and not mind that he hadn't thought about love.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, he added, "I might not be able to give you an answer right now."

Huo Jihan accepted this gracefully, looking at him with soft eyes and saying, "I know, I won't pressure you."

He gave Lin Yi complete freedom.

He didn't force Lin Yi to give him an immediate response.

Lin Yi didn't expect Huo Jihan to be so understanding and felt relieved.

His tense body relaxed slightly as he said to Huo Jihan, "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll head home now."

He had come here to check if anything had happened to Huo Jihan, and since there was nothing major, he didn't need to stay long.

However, how could Huo Jihan let Lin Yi go so easily?

They had just entered a new phase in their relationship, and if he let Lin Yi leave now, what if Lin Yi calmed down and decided to run away?

Huo Jihan didn't step back, still trapping Lin Yi between himself and the door, and casually mentioned, "Didn't you say you like playing games? I recently bought a new computer. Want to try it out?"

Lin Yi was slightly tempted upon hearing this.

Huo Jihan bought a new computer?

Knowing that Huo Jihan always got top-of-the-line equipment, playing games on it would undoubtedly be smooth sailing.

But Lin Yi felt it wasn't appropriate to stay with Huo Jihan for too long after his confession.

He needed time to cool off.
