Chapter 124: Keeping Secrets

Watching Tang Yun persist so stubbornly, Ye Shikai felt helpless. Tang Yun appeared fragile, but she was strong-willed. Despite being frightened in that situation, she still paid close attention to the detail. Even if he refused to admit it, she remained resolute. It seemed that he couldn't hide the truth from her any longer.

"Alright, Tang Yun, this is actually a secret. We're friends, and I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept it from you just now," Ye Shikai sighed deeply, finally deflating.

"It's okay. If you don't want to talk about it, just pretend I didn't see anything," Tang Yun said when she saw his reaction, feeling a little guilty and thinking she might have touched a nerve. Everyone has their little secrets; Tang Yun didn't pry on purpose.

"If I didn't tell you, you would probably feel uneasy, right?" Ye Shikai said with a smile, that itching curiosity isn't a pleasant feeling. "I can tell you my secret, but you must swear not to tell anyone."
