But at the same time, Xiao Rou also realized a problem: although she and Li Chen have known each other since childhood, they had been apart for so many years, so they don't really understand what each other is like after growing up.
Xiao Rou thinks she isn't at the point where Li Chen would fall in love at first sight, or deeply as soon as they meet.
As for childhood feelings, Xiao Rou feels they aren't there yet.
And she can feel that Li Chen has a bit of affection for her, which might stem from memories of childhood, or maybe from her acceptable qualities, or perhaps from the two families knowing each other well.
No matter the source, anyway he should have some feelings for her.
And it's precisely this thin layer of affection that makes him say such things the second time he sees her after coming back.
This can only indicate one thing: Li Chen is merely attracted to her.
If he really liked her, he probably wouldn't utter such words without any certainty.
