cynnie asks if she thinks she was just confused by the words "lei xi" that she said that day. She tells him that since he can't respond to her as "Lien xi," he should not touch her like that. She says that since they're from different worlds, they won't be able to cross paths if it wasn't for the existence of the curse. She wants to know why the young master is so patient with her. She asks if he gets his courage from her, and he says that's amazing. He also says that if he wants to ask something directly, he's not allowed to do so. He says that before he answers, he has already asked her. He asks her if she will answer him obediently without any conditions, and she says that she will obey him without conditions. She then asks him if he would answer her obediently if she asked him directly. He doesn't know when he started to care if what he said would hurt Lei lin, and says that he didn't even realize he was separated from Anzai until a few seconds later. He feels a little "tempted" to run away.
