Upon hearing this question, Lěng Yè felt his heart tighten abruptly, but he managed to squeeze out a slight smile on his face. "No... of course not. I've always kept our promise in mind. How could I possibly get involved with other girls?"
*(If she found out that the number of women I've been with can't even be counted on one hand, and that one of them isn't even human, wouldn't she be utterly disappointed in me?)*
Gongsun Biyue's eyes widened instantly as she stared at Lěng Yè in disbelief, crying out, "What do you mean by 'not human'? How... how could you be so outrageous?"
In truth, Gongsun Biyue hadn't cared all that much about whether Lěng Yè still remembered their childhood promise. After all, both of them were just children back then, too young to understand what a promise truly meant. The reason she kept holding onto the matter was because the days she had spent together with Lěng Yè had left a deep impression on her. If Lěng Yè had been involved with other women in the past, she would have been able to understand and accept it; after all, one couldn't expect everyone else to be like her and hold onto a childhood memory forever. But what shocked her was that not only had Lěng Yè been involved with other women, but it actually involved a "non-human" existence. What on earth did "non-human" mean? The thought was far too unsettling, compelling her to ask directly.
