The chilly autumn wind blew against Lin Jiage’s face, jolting him out of his daze.
He stared at the picturesque greenery of the residential area for a moment before the long string of messages that Shi Yao had sent him suddenly flashed across his mind.
Perhaps, she thought that he didn’t have the time to read them… but in truth, he had read them all without missing a single word… even though he had scanned through them swiftly, his natural memory was astonishing… Even though he didn’t dare to say it out loud.., he was able to memorize every single word, but he was able to memorize every single important point in her words.
So, her first impression of him was actually that of a good guy… a little brother as beautiful as a manga made her very happy..
If he hadn’t resisted at that time, if he had accepted her existence at that time, would that little her have fallen in love with him at that time?
It turned out that she had resisted just like him, but had also failed to resist successfully..
In the process of growing up, he had actually never taken her as his fiancee seriously. If he had met the girl he liked before he had fallen in love with her.., he thought that he would not care about her existence and control his feelings for her. He would openly pursue that girl, he would even unhesitatingly dump her, who at that time could only exist in name, for the sake of that girl… but she did not… because of the existence of his invisible fiancee.., she didn’t dare to spend too much time with boys, nor did she dare to fall in love with them..
The best part of a girl’s youth was her high school and university years, but she wasted more than half of her time on him.
That’s right… They had never been together. Even though they had a fiancée relationship, there wasn’t the slightest bit of happiness and sweetness between a man and a woman, but she still gave him the time of her youth.
From the age of 13 to 19, in these six years, she never had the chance to live the life she wanted.
She said that wanton love and wanton hate… that was the capital that everyone had when they were young and frivolous, but she didn’t have it.
She also said that even if I had someone I wanted to like, I would only dare to like them, not like them..
To think… Such a simple word, and it turned out that he could actually use such a frightening force behind it.
Lin Jiage knew that his heart ached for the girl he liked.
It wasn’t until today that he realized just what kind of unfair treatment the girl she liked had been receiving all along.
Whether it was her family or his family..
Lin Jiage couldn’t help but recall the words he overheard at his grandfather’s door the night before.
..
Time flew by quickly, and before he knew it, it was already the day old Mister Lin celebrated his late wife’s birthday.
The venue was still Beijing Grand Hotel, but this time, it wasn’t lunch, but dinner.
Shi Yao was heading to Beijing Grand Hotel from school. Due to tutoring her students, she set off a little late, and by the time she arrived, everyone had arrived except for Lin Jiage.
After greeting the elders in the room, her mother called out her name and asked her to accompany her to the washroom.
Shi Yao knew that going to the washroom wasn’t the main point. The main point was that her mother wanted to find an excuse to say something to her.
She didn’t reject her request and left the room with her mother.
