Sang Yu never liked men who smoked. She herself didn’t smoke and preferred to enjoy a little drink now and then, so throughout her life, she rarely encountered the smell of cigarettes. When she did, it made her feel uncomfortable, which is why she always disliked the scent of smoke.
However, she found herself deeply fascinated by the way Lu Jingzhi smoked. She couldn't tell if her attraction stemmed from her feelings for him or if it was his smoking that made her like him even more.
As Lu Jingzhi looked at Sang Yu's dazed expression through the lens, he couldn't help but chuckle softly, his laughter growing more joyful until it resonated in his chest. It seemed his charm was still intact; she wasn’t completely indifferent to him after all. After being rejected these past few days, he had begun to doubt his own allure, but now he thought he knew how to handle her moving forward.
Sang Yu was jolted back to reality by Lu Jingzhi's laughter. She lowered her head in a fluster, deeply scolding herself. "Sang Xiaoyu, you really have no shame! You’re staring at a man like an idiot—how embarrassing! And this man is your ex-boyfriend! The same one you used to look down upon! How could you lose yourself in his good looks? It’s hopeless!"
But what could she do? She liked Lu Jingzhi! Liked him! Loved him! No one else would do!
She had lied to herself and deceived her friends, but she couldn’t fool herself. Every quiet night, the endless longing was undeniable. Each time Lu Jingzhi came close to her, her wildly beating heart betrayed her feelings. They seemed to be telling her that she hadn’t forgotten him; she still liked him just as much as before.
Otherwise, why would she allow this person to approach her time and again? Now that he had forcefully entered her life again, could she give herself another chance to indulge?
As the saying goes, "Once is chance, twice is coincidence, but three times is a pattern." So perhaps this would be her last opportunity—she would go with the flow, not resist or force anything. If this relationship ended without resolution again, it would simply mean they were not meant to be. At worst, she could live alone for the rest of her life.
But what if they ended up together?
Having come to this realization, Sang Yu felt as if the shackles on her were gone; she decided to follow her heart.
She lifted her head and playfully scolded him, "What are you laughing at?"
Lu Jingzhi sensed something different about Sang Yu, though he couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed. He felt that she seemed much more relaxed around him now; it was a refreshing change that made him smile even more.
Sang Yu shot him a glance. Since their reunion, Lu Jingzhi seemed like a completely different person—sometimes assertive, sometimes clingy, sometimes playful—so unlike the Lu Jingzhi she had known before.
In truth, although Lu Jingzhi hadn’t liked Sang Yu back then, he didn’t harbor the intense dislike she believed he did. Initially, he had felt some resentment and had misdirected his frustration towards her. However, he eventually realized that it wasn’t fair to blame anyone else for their situation; after all, their relationship had started because of him.
He had considered breaking up with her but found it hard to bring himself to do so because Sang Yu was too good to him. He didn’t want to hurt her feelings and was also concerned about how it might affect her upcoming exams. He thought it best to wait until after the exams to address their issues.
But he never expected that during this time, he had actually started to like Sang Yu, though he was either unaware of it or had sensed it but didn't want to admit it. This led to a series of awkward moments when he tried to date other girls; none of those relationships lasted long, and in the end, he only experienced two brief romances.
Now he finally understood that his feelings for her were more than just a little bit of affection; he had already fallen for her.
"Are you free tomorrow? Let's have dinner together."
"Ah, when? Lunch or dinner?" Sang Yu readily agreed.
