"I'll make myself clear here and now, I did not do all that nor I am here just to be friends with you."
"I like you, Zhuo Yichen." Lilun confessed, Yichen instantly dropping smile, feeling like he was given a ticking bomb at that moment, Li Lun noticed him tensed up.
Lilun understood this immediately and compelled to sigh, but he didn't falter. "Don't worry, I don't want an answer out of you. I know you like him." he said, as if knowing Zhuo Yichen's answer and by the way Zhuo Yichen's eyes grew wide, he knew he was right.
"You're asking why I knew that? Obvious, you're always crying for him everytime I see you. You also look at him the way I'd stare at you from afar. I've been known that you have more than that brotherly affection for Zhao Yuanzhou." Lilun started talking and Zhuo Yichen was only there, hammered to his seat, forced to listen how these words have brough a certain and unknowing truth upon him.
"But I'm not here for that nor I want to discourage myself even if you like him. I just want to tell you how I feel and show you that I'm serious about it." Lilun went to offer him a glass of water, handing it gently infront of him while he let him speak.
"I don't and will not ask to be reciprocated, but I hope you won't stop me from showing you how much I like you."
