"Date?"
Yan Feifan took a moment to process the shock of the news, then asked, somewhat confused, "Don't both people have to have feelings for each other to date?"
"But I don't have feelings for you."
He explained, "Su Ye, don't get me wrong. I'm talking about that excited, happy feeling you get from a dopamine rush."
"I already see you as a colleague and a friend."
Yu Suye took a deep breath, forcing a slight smile onto her face. "We can date even without those feelings."
"I know it's a new era, but there are still plenty of people who go on blind dates, get married, and then get to know each other and fall in love."
"You can totally date me while you try to develop those feelings."
Yu Suye added, "You're the guy. You have nothing to lose by dating me, so what are you so afraid of?"
Yan Feifan said with a perfectly straight face, "My sister once told me that times have changed. Guys need to learn how to protect themselves, too."
Ugh…
