This time, Gu Chen stood up directly.
He was always gentle and polite to everyone, yet he maintained a proper distance.
He never had a girlfriend, and even when it came to Xia Yiwan, whom he liked the most, the closest they got was that time he was drunk and hugged her once.
He had never encountered a situation like this before, and therefore, for a moment, he didn't know how to handle it.
All he could do was get up and avoid Lin Yuning's touch.
Gu Chen tried to avoid her, but Lin Yuning would not let it go as he wished.
As soon as Gu Chen stood up, she also stood up and then stepped forward to wrap her arms around Gu Chen's waist.
"Yuning, you…" Gu Chen stiffened up, reaching out to push her away.
Lin Yuning noticed his repulsion and felt slightly sad, but her fighting spirit grew stronger.
She clasped her hands tightly around Gu Chen's waist, almost without thinking, and blurted out: "Gu Chen, I like you."
Gu Chen was taken aback, his hands paused in mid-air.
