"I... I..." He Jingyan had just relaxed, but Lin Gui's words made him tense up again. It was as if she had a magical power to easily manipulate his emotions.
"Are you trying to dig into my personal life?" Lin Gui didn't seem in a hurry, waiting for his response.
"I...I didn't mean it that way," he had such thoughts, but felt more sorry for Lin Gui.
Lin Gui nodded, "That's good, then I don't have to think about how to reject you."
He has no intention of starting a new relationship. The years spent with Chen Jingxu have left him physically and mentally exhausted, and he doesn't have the energy to start a new relationship. He Jingyan is impulsive by nature, and Lin Gui prefers to believe that he is just acting on a whim and will forget about it in a few days. It's better that He Jingyan didn't make a move to avoid embarrassment.
He Jingyan's heart sank suddenly. He hadn't even confessed yet, and he was rejected?
"Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. My wound is almost healed. You don't need to feel guilty. Go back and focus on your studies."
"You still want to draw a clear boundary between us."
"I... That's not what I meant." Adults like to speak in a tactful manner, maintaining the dignity of both parties.
He Jingyan obviously does not conform to this set of rules. She likes to talk about things clearly and straightforwardly, even if it may cause harm.
"What can't be explained clearly? You can tolerate Chen Jingxu, so why can't you tolerate me..."
" He Jingyan!"
He Jingyan lightly exhaled, knowing that he had spoken the wrong words. "I'm sorry, I..."
The conversation hadn't finished when a sudden ringtone broke the tense atmosphere, "Didn't I ask you to wait for me?"
Lin Gui tiredly furrowed his brow, he couldn't understand what Chen Jingxu was up to. He had already initiated the breakup, so why was he calling?
"Don't be angry, the situation with Zhao Qingxun is a bit complicated. I might not be able to make it back tonight."
"Did you see the message I sent you?" Lin Gui asked.
"What news?"
"Never mind, we're done with Chen Jingxu," Lin Gui didn't want to be entangled with him anymore. It's meaningless to continue like this.
"Lin Gui, I and Zhao Qingxun have really ended things. As soon as it's over here, I'll come back."
"It has nothing to do with him."
"Lin Gui!" Chen Jingxu was already very tired, and Lin Gui's attitude made him even more weary. "Can you stop making a scene? I'll say it again, there's nothing between me and him."
"I'll say it again too, we're done." After saying this, Lin Gui hung up the phone and added Chen Jingxu to the blacklist.
"Are you okay?" He Jingyan asked cautiously, while Lin Gui furrowed his brows and pursed his lips, clearly quite upset.
"I'm fine, just go back... I..." Taking advantage of his pause, He Jingyan directly handed him the straw.
"If you're feeling down, have something sweet to drink." He Jingyan seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness just now and comforted him with a smile.
He Jingyan's eyes are very beautiful, with a slight droop at the outer corners, full of innocence that easily disarms people's defenses and makes them willingly enchanted.
Lin Gui followed his words and took a sip, indeed sweet, sweet to the point of being cloying.
The sweetness does have the power to captivate the heart, and Lin Gui's mood miraculously relaxed.
"Sweet?" He Jingyan asked eagerly.
Lin Gui looked into his eyes and her heart skipped a beat, "Sweet."
The milk tea shop is playing the recent popular love songs, telling stories about youth and first love, very sweet and fitting.
Suddenly, his college days, he almost followed Chen Jingxu everywhere, if his college life could be described in one word, it would be Chen Jingxu.
Looking back now, the things he ignored seem to have become clearer, while Chen Jingxu has become blurry. He missed out on a lot of things.
"Can you take me to your school to have a look?" Lin Gui suddenly asked.
"Ah?" The topic changed quite quickly, and He Jingyan responded, "Of course."
