Ling Yin was confused, his expression bewildered.
Hua Hua extended his palm, not his finger: "Someday when I feel sure in my heart, at that time, I'll ask you to put it on for me; if by then, I feel we can't move toward marriage, I'll return this to you, so now, may I temporarily keep it?"
Ling Yin remained silent, too overwhelmed to speak.
But Hua Hua thought Ling Yin's silence meant he was feeling down.
So he added: "I need to be responsible for my feelings! Right now, I'm not sure if I deeply love you. The partner I want must be someone I truly feel deep love for, so I can't hastily agree to you."
"Honestly, everything you've done tonight, I've been very moved and I cherish the relationship we have."
"I don't want to embarrass you, nor do I want to miss out on a relationship, but right now I really can't promise you. I don't feel I've reached the point of deep love necessary to enter into marriage with you."
Ling Yin still held his breath, not speaking.
