what sort of thing (2)

 Luo Huian was a bit uncomfortable with how at ease Qi Yongrui was with her. He touched and held her like he truly liked her when in truth, there was no such thing. He was only doing this because he wanted something from her. 

"Do you really have to go to such lengths?" She asked the mer. Even if he was pretending to be interested in her, wasn't he too engrossed in his role? 

Qi Yongrui blinked his eyes with a hint of confusion and Luo Huian sighed before explaining, "The way you are acting—it makes me feel like you have feelings for me." Was this mer really as stoic and cold as she thought towards her predecessor? Why did it feel like he had some kind of feelings towards her?
