What Do You Think About My Character?

“But I’m not sure about the level of affection I have for him and whether I should give it a go or not,” Xie Jiling added.

“You should know that my job is rather dangerous and a lot of things happen. Whenever he is with me, he might have to face those things at random times.”

“I’m worried that it might affect him,” Xie Jiling said.

In addition, Han Zhuofeng had always been scared of those things.

Why would he even take the initiative to face those things when he was scared of those things?

He definitely wouldn’t be willing to do that.

Xie Jiling didn’t want to force him to do those things because she had feelings for him.

“Moreover, I don’t think he actually likes me,” Xie Jiling whispered. He didn’t dare to look at Han Zhuofeng.

Why would Han Zhuofeng like her when he had always been so scared of those things?

Her classmates loved following her around and participating in the fun activities.

Since Xie Jiling would be there, they wouldn’t be in danger even if those things looked scary.

They could even take that opportunity to broaden their horizons.

But that was the only reason why those boys would participate whenever she was exorcising, and they would never consider liking her.

Of course, Xie Jiling had no such intentions toward them as well.

And based on this, Xie Jiling deduced that Han Zhuofeng definitely wouldn’t have feelings for her.

He would be fine with being her friend, but he would have reservations about dating her.

“Does he not like you? How do you know?” Han Zhuofeng’s eyes lit up as he asked immediately.

Thankfully, the light in the car wasn’t on. If not, Xie Jiling would have noticed him gloating.

And she would misunderstand even more.

However, even so, Han Zhuofeng couldn’t hide the cheerful tone in his voice.

Xie Jiling couldn’t help but ask, “Why do you sound so happy?”

Han Zhuofeng was speechless. “…”

“No. I was just worried,” Han Zhuofeng immediately said, “You’re such a good person. If he doesn’t like you, then that person’s taste in romantic partners has to be bad!”

Xie Jiling smiled and said, “Alright. I’m leaving, then.”

“Wait.” Han Zhuofeng asked worriedly, “Are you not going to confess your feelings?”

Xie Jiling looked at him and shook her head. “I don’t intend to do that. There’s no reason to cause him any trouble.”

Han Zhuofeng scratched his head and suddenly got out of the car.

Xie Jiling was taken aback. She was just about to get out of the car when she saw Han Zhuofeng move around from the front of the car and stop beside the door of the passenger seat.

He opened the door and placed his hand on the car door, supporting himself on the door frame.

This trapped Xie Jiling in the car.

Han Zhuofeng lowered his head and popped his head right in front of Xie Jiling.

She didn’t even have to lift her head to see his face.

Han Zhuofeng almost lowered his head into the car.

Xie Jiling subconsciously dodged.

Han Zhuofeng said, “Since you don’t intend to confess, it means that you are stopping any possibility of this relationship happening. Of course, you did say that the person doesn’t like you.”

Xie Jiling was speechless.

Why did it hurt when it was being said by the person she liked?

“You might as well not pay any attention to him and not invest any energy in him. Consider someone else,” Han Zhuofeng said.

Xie Jiling froze and looked at Han Zhuofeng in confusion.

Han Zhuofeng could see the confusion in her eyes. It was as though she had never taken him into consideration.

Han Zhuofeng felt a little sad. He forced himself to ask, “What do you think about my character?”

“Wh.. what?” Xie Jiling was stunned.

Han Zhuofeng pressed on. “What do you think about my character?”

“Really good…” Xie Jiling blushed.

Thankfully, it was dark in the car, which was why no one noticed her blush.

The light coming from the campus was being blocked by Han Zhuofeng, casting a shadow on Xie Jiling.

“You’re usually very afraid of those things. You know my ability. Despite being afraid, you’re still willing to stay and keep me company because you’re worried that I might feel lonely when I’m there at night on my own,” Xie Jiling’s voice became softer and softer as she spoke.

“Very few people can do that. Although we don’t see each other often, I’m aware that you have excellent character,” Xie Jiling said.

“Some men aren’t happy when women are stronger than them. Some men pretend not to be scared when they are really afraid.” Xie Jiling couldn’t help but smiled and say, “But you are different. You never hide it in front of me.”

“When you are scared, you show it. You never think that it’s embarrassing.” Xie Jiling grinned. Her eyes looked really bright. “I think you are great. I don’t like those pretentious people.”

“When I first visited the film set because of Xiao Fengqing… Let’s not talk about whether the fox spirit really used her or not. But when you didn’t know about that, and she wanted to do that.. thing to you, you pushed her away and didn’t let things happen.”

Hearing this, Han Zhuofeng felt a little ashamed of himself because he had used her innocence to sleep in her room.

He didn’t have any good intentions at that time.

“In addition, I believe in the Han Family,” Xie Jiling said with a smile, “You grew up in a really good family. The elders of the Han Family as well as your two older brothers are really good people, so you’re definitely a good person as well. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

Han Zhuofeng felt a little embarrassed to hear such praises.

“Since you believe that I have good character, will you believe that I won’t break any promises I will make?” Han Zhuofeng said.

He blinked as he stared at Xie Jiling’s face nervously.

Xie Jiling opened her mouth and said in surprise, “Han… Han Zhuofeng…”

Xie Jiling felt like she knew what he was talking about.

But she wasn’t exactly certain…

She could just be overthinking.

Since this was all she was thinking about tonight, it was only natural for her to subconsciously make assumptions related to these things.

She might have misunderstood Han Zhuofeng.

“If there’s no possibility between you and that person, can you take me into consideration?” Han Zhuofeng finally mustered up the courage to say it out loud.

Xie Jiling froze and didn’t know how to react.

Han Zhuofeng continued saying, “My second elder sister-in-law said that you should find someone who shows good character and values his own word. She also said that he has to be someone who has faced those things with you and is familiar with your work. It would be best if he has personally experienced it.”

“I have experienced it with you twice. Although I was afraid, I was there with you. Fear is just a psychological effect. It’s like how I still feel afraid when I watch a horror movie even though I know that it’s fake.”

“Therefore, I know I would be safe if I am with you, but I would still feel scared. I know your job well, and I know what would happen if we started dating…”

“I would never be like that ex-husband of your cousin who only knows to say sweet things. That ex-husband has never actually experienced it. Therefore, when he did, he realized that things were much more complicated than he had imagined, hence, the regret.”

“But I wouldn’t do that. I have seen it before, and I know what it would be like to be in a relationship with you.”

“Therefore, it’s fine if you bring me along when you are out working. And I know I would be very safe with you. Even if something suddenly appeared, I wouldn’t be afraid as long as I’m with you.”
