[Do you really think he'll come?]

Of course he will!

[Hmm? How so?]

If you really can access my brain, then you should already know.

Sitting quietly underneath a peach blossom tree, Feng Lei suddenly smirked and chuckled darkly.

[Of course I already know! I just can't understand it very well that's why I'm asking!]
