Li Ling promises to be honest

"A-Zhi..." 

Zhihao chuckled dryly as he looked down at the ground, "I know you're not a liar and I believe you. I think you'll be more open with me, and that's why I can't figure out why you were not clear about it when I asked you what your job was." 

"..." 

"I don't discriminate people based on their jobs so I really don't understand why you would try to hide such a thing. When I thought about it deeper, the only reason I could come up with was my father. Did you try to hide it because of your bad relationship with my father?" 

Li Ling gulped as he shook his head, "That's not the reason." 

"Then why?" 

Li Ling took a step forward as he sighed, "A-Zhi, we should talk about this later. Right now, it's really not the time to be discussing something like this." 

"Then when do you plan on being honest with me?" Zhihao looked right into Li Ling's eyes and it only made the other man feel more guilty.
