And yet the pair of eyes behind his bang were abnormally clear as if it was only a simple question to him.
"Uh... Jin seems very innocent. He probably doesn't mean anything by the question."
Ling Yiran thought to herself, then she cleared her throat and said, "I can like my younger brother but it isn't love. It's two different feelings. I thought loving someone was forever and irreplaceable. I even... thought that lovers could live and die together."
His dark eyes narrowed instantly. "Live and die together? Strangely, when I heard her answer, the first thought that struck me was that... it sounds pretty good to live and die with her.
"So does that mean I've fallen in love with her?
"How could that be?" He laughed as the idea crossed his mind.
"I must I admit, I have feelings for her. I'm sentimentally attached to her and I care for her. It seems as if I've unconsciously started to be obsessed with the feeling of being next to her. If not, I wouldn't have played this game for so long.
"But to fall in love... I couldn't have done that.
"I made a promise to myself long ago that I would never fall in love with any woman!"
"And Jin would never make me sad, right?" The gentle tone of her voice resounded by his ear.
He chuckled lowly as he studied her slightly blushing cheeks and faint smile. "Yes, Jin would never make Sister sad." He added to himself, "But when this woman finds out one day that I'm Yi Jinli, will she be sad?
"Or maybe she will be happy? Happy to curry favor with him?
"However no matter her feelings, I can promise to protect her for life. It is, after all, as simple as lifting a finger for me."
