After that tense conversation, the atmosphere between Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin became unusually heavy. The aftershocks of the meeting had not yet subsided, and they were each immersed in their own worlds, like two parallel lines that could never intersect. 0
 
Bai Huaiyu returned to her work station, her mind still restless. Although she tried to focus on the task at hand, her gaze would occasionally drift unconsciously toward Jiang NanJin. His seat was not far from hers, yet the distance between them felt like an invisible chasm. 0
 
 
Jiang NanJin seemed to sense the awkward atmosphere, but he did not make any active response. He remained engrossed in his work as always, the occasional sound of his pen scratching against the paper adding to the coldness of the moment. A faint smile was always present on his face, yet a hint of loneliness could easily be detected in his eyes. 0
 
In this state, Bai Huaiyu began to deeply reflect on their relationship. She sat at her desk, her pen spinning listlessly in her hand. Her thoughts drifted far away as she recalled the days when she first met Jiang NanJin, when they were carefree and shared laughter with each other. 0
 
 
Jiang NanJin was immersed in his thoughts. His gaze occasionally fixed on the computer screen, then drifted to the view outside the window. His heart was filled with contradictions; on one hand, he was concerned about Bai Huaiyu, and on the other, he reproached himself for his indifferent attitude. He began to realize that his words might have hurt Bai Huaiyu, but he didn't know how to make amends. 0
 
The afternoon sunlight streamed through the office window, casting a warm glow on both of them as time slowly passed in this subtle atmosphere. The voices of other colleagues in the office seemed to be swallowed by this silence. 0
 
 
That afternoon, Bai Huaiyu decided to take a break at a nearby café; she needed a quiet place to sort out her thoughts. She walked through the bustling crowd and entered the café. Sitting by the window, she ordered a latte and stared blankly out at the street. The pedestrians hurried by, each with their own story and destination, while she seemed to have lost her way in this world. 0
 
Bai Huaiyu's emotions were complex as she couldn't help but question her worth and the meaning of her relationship. Her fingers gently traced the rim of the coffee cup, and her thoughts gradually sank into memories. She recalled the moments spent with Jiang NanJin—the laughter and arguments, the time they shared together. Her heart was filled with uncertainty, unsure of how to confront the dilemma before her. 0
 
 
Meanwhile, Jiang NanJin felt particularly restless in the office. His fingers unconsciously tapped on the desk, and his gaze occasionally drifted to Bai Huaiyu's empty seat. His heart was filled with struggle; on one hand, he wanted to talk to Bai Huaiyu, but on the other hand, he feared that his words would hurt her again. 0
 
Time passed quietly as the sun set, and the office gradually fell silent. Jiang NanJin packed his things, preparing to leave. His steps were heavy, each one feeling like a battle with his own heart. He walked out of the office, unsure of where he was headed. 0
 
 
Bai Huaiyu had been in the café for a long time, until the sky began to darken. Her mood had calmed somewhat, but the doubts in her heart remained unresolved. She stood up and gently walked out of the café, slowly heading in the direction of home. In the night, she felt a sense of loneliness and uncertainty as she strolled through the city alone. 0
 
Jiang NanJin walked down the street, his steps aimlessly weaving through the crowd. He kept recalling the moments he spent with Bai Huaiyu, those joyful memories and sharp arguments. Suddenly, he realized that his feelings for Bai Huaiyu were far deeper than he had previously acknowledged. A wave of longing surged within him, a desire to reconnect with her and rebuild that special bond. 0
 
 
However, when he arrived at Bai Huaiyu's residence, he hesitated. He stood downstairs, looking up at the windows of Bai Huaiyu's home, filled with inner turmoil. He didn't know if he should go up, how to start the conversation, or how to explain his feelings. 0
 
In the end, Jiang NanJin chose to leave. His steps felt somewhat heavy, and his heart was filled with regret. He realized that this silence might further distance their relationship, but he still lacked the courage to confront it all. 0
 
 
The night was deep, and Bai Huaiyu sat quietly in her room, gazing out the window. Her heart was filled with uncertainty and struggle, unsure of how to handle her relationship with Jiang NanJin. She gently touched her phone, contemplating whether she should send a message to Jiang NanJin, but ultimately she abandoned the thought. She knew that what they needed right now might not be an urgent conversation, but rather time and space to process their emotions. 0
 
At the same time, Jiang NanJin returned to his apartment. He walked into his room and closed the door behind him, sinking heavily onto the sofa. He took out his phone, hesitating over whether to reach out to Bai Huaiyu, but in the end, he did not act. Jiang NanJin was overwhelmed with complex emotions; on one hand, he missed Bai Huaiyu, while on the other hand, he felt guilty about his own actions. He knew his words had been too sharp and might have hurt Bai Huaiyu, but he didn't know how to make amends. 0
 
 
Late at night, Bai Huaiyu tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Her mind was filled with various thoughts: her feelings for Jiang NanJin, the uncertainty of the future, and her confusion about her career. She remembered the days spent with Jiang NanJin, the laughter and tears, the arguments and reconciliations. She suddenly realized that despite the pain and confusion she felt in her current situation, she still cared deeply for Jiang NanJin. 0
 
At that moment, Jiang NanJin was also restless in his apartment. His heart was filled with longing for Bai Huaiyu, and he realized that his feelings for her far exceeded his expectations. He began to reflect on his actions and felt regret for the hurtful words he had said to her. He yearned for a chance to start over and mend the rift between them. 0
 
 
The next morning, Bai Huaiyu woke up early and decided to go to the office a bit earlier. The morning sunlight streamed through the window into the room as she pulled back the curtains and took a deep breath of fresh air. Today, she hoped to temporarily forget her troubles amidst the busy work and focus all her energy on the tasks at hand. 0
 
When she walked into the office, it was still empty, so quiet that she could only hear the sound of her footsteps. She turned on her computer and began organizing documents, preparing for the day's work plan. Bai Huaiyu noticed that Jiang NanJin had not arrived, likely focusing on his creative work in his apartment. A hint of disappointment flashed through her mind, but she quickly redirected her attention back to her work. 0
 
 
On this day, Bai Huaiyu and Jiang NanJin were both very focused on their respective work, with almost no communication between them. However, in Bai Huaiyu's heart, she could feel Jiang NanJin's presence; that subtle atmosphere lingered in the office. 0
 
During the lunch break, Bai Huaiyu ran into her colleague Zhou Huiyan in the break room. She asked, "Bai Huaiyu, you look quite energetic today. Is there something good happening?" 0
 
 
Bai Huaiyu smiled and replied, "There's nothing particularly good, just decided to focus more on work." 0
 
Zhou Huiyan smiled slightly and said, "It seems everyone has noticed your recent growth. Keep up the good work!" 0
 
 
Bai Huaiyu nodded, feeling more resolute about her decision. She returned to her seat and continued to immerse herself in her work, secretly determined to prove herself to Jiang NanJin through her efforts. 0
 
Meanwhile, in his apartment, Jiang NanJin sat quietly at his drawing board, focused on his creation. Thoughts of Bai Huaiyu's steadfast gaze occasionally flashed through his mind, prompting him to reflect on their conversation from the previous night. Jiang NanJin let out a slight sigh, feeling a stir of emotion regarding Bai Huaiyu's transformation. 0
 
 
During her lunch break, Bai Huaiyu went for a walk in a nearby park by herself. She needed some fresh air to clear her mind. Walking under the shade of the trees, a gentle breeze brushed against her, bringing a moment of tranquility. The green trees, flowers, and the playful birds around the park made her feel a sense of relief. 0
 
She found an empty bench and sat down. Closing her eyes, she tried to calm her heart and temporarily distance herself from the distractions of work swirling in her mind. 0
 
 
At that moment, Jiang NanJin also arrived at the park, seeking some fresh air. He strolled casually, seemingly lost in thought. Suddenly, his gaze fell upon Bai Huaiyu, who was sitting on a bench. He stopped in his tracks and watched her from a distance, filled with complex emotions. 0
 
Jiang NanJin did not approach Bai Huaiyu; he simply observed her quietly from afar. He noticed a hint of sorrow on her face, which tightened his heart. He realized that the issues between them were not mere misunderstandings but rather problems that required time and effort to resolve. 0
 
 
Jiang NanJin turned around and slowly walked away, his emotions complex and profound. He began to reflect on his words and actions, questioning whether he had been too harsh. He realized that Bai Huaiyu's growth and changes were also a revelation for him. 0
 
Meanwhile, after sitting quietly on the bench for a while, Bai Huaiyu slowly opened her eyes. She felt a bit more relaxed and decided to return to the office to continue working. She stood up, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt herself re-energized. 0
