There was a reason this was a Hard-ranked level, but although Li Ling knew this, he would naturally not speak out. 

"Just don't look around," Zhihao continued, "If you really feel like looking around, look at my face, okay?"

Li Ling closed his eyes again and turned his face away.

Li Ling didn't respond to the question because he felt a bit wronged. 

This man was always flirting with him without being aware of it. 

Why did he always make him suffer like this?! He was so flustered that he didn't know how to respond. Wouldn't he come off as too enthusiastic if he answered with a 'yes'? And there was no way he could lie and say 'no' so he simply looked away, feeling as if he were wronged. 

Zhihao was worried if he had said something wrong, but before he could ask Li Ling what was wrong, another sound came.
