This was indeed beyond Lin Da's expectation.
A warm current flowed gently through his heart.
He had not chosen poorly with these friends.
"What about Captain Snow Goose, what does Young Lady Lia say?" Lin Da snapped back to the present, jokingly said.
He thought Lia would protect the Heart of Flames at all costs, unwilling to give it to anyone... yet the gift box was surprisingly pushed back to him intact.
Lin Da blinked in surprise.
What was going on with this guy?
Lia bit her lip, her fingers tightly clutching the table, as if they would reach out and snatch back the gift box if she wasn't careful.
The girl said with difficulty, "Snow Goose already owes you a lot, I don't want to owe you for a lifetime and still not be able to pay it back."
"Ah?"
Lin Da's mouth hung open in astonishment.
He subconsciously stood up, reached across the table, and touched Lia's lips to see if they were actually stiff.
"What are you doing." Lia dodged angrily, glaring at him.
