Phoenix really wanted to retort, who's jealous?
But saying this would give off a vibe of protesting too much, and given how sly and cunning he is, he would seize on this and not let go.
So, it's better to say nothing, keep quiet, and listen to his explanation for now.
Ye Zheng originally did not want to tell anyone about the rebirth, but… he made her change her mind, and at this point, there's no reason for him to hide anything from her.
"…Phoenix, do you believe in dying and resurrecting?" His voice was a little muffled, not as clear as usual.
"What are you saying?" Phoenix trembled slightly, unsure if it was because he was holding her or if his question was too shocking, "Dying and resurrecting?"
Ye Zheng paused as if he needed to steady himself because it was so unbelievable, "Yeah, Phoenix, I'm telling you, don't be scared. It doesn't mean any harm to you, I just… want to share this with you."
