"I'm sorry..." Guilt and unease laden Huo Qilin's voice.
Xia Qingtian was surprised to hear his apology, then something occurred to her.
"Do you remember what happened last night?" She looked at Huo Qilin and asked, raising an eyebrow.
Her question seemingly directed to Huo Qilin carried a note of certainty. She obviously already knew the answer.
Huo Qilin stiffened.
In this situation, denying it would be of no use.
So, he could only rigidly nod, "Yes!"
Xia Qingtian instantly understood. No wonder Huo Qilin looked as guilty as a schoolboy during dinner. It turned out he remembered everything from last night. He had confessed everything.
That's just as well. It saved her from rehashing last night's events.
She skipped all the preliminaries and asked directly, "Do you like me?"
"Yes!" Huo Qilin answered with conviction.
