It was already early winter, so the night temperature was still rather cold. Lin jiage took a glance at Shi Yao’s clothes, which weren’t too thick, and after some thought, he took off his windbreaker and draped it over Shi Yao’s body.
Unable to bear the sight, the head of the Education Bureau turned his head away and said, “Lin Jiage, hurry up…”before walking into the office building.
After putting Shi Yao’s clothes on, Lin jiage patted her lightly on the cheek before turning around and walking into the office building as well.
After Lin Jiage entered, Shi Yao placed the large bouquet of roses on the platform in the garden. As she drank her drink, she lowered her head and began counting the flowers.
One, two, three, four… Forty-seven, forty-eight..
“Shi Yao.”
Hearing someone call her name, Shi Yao instinctively turned her head over. However, when she saw who it was, the smile on her face disappeared, and she stood up straight and greeted, “Senior Han.”
Han Jing stared at Shi Yao for a moment before raising his feet and taking a few more steps forward.
Under the light from the office building, Shi Yao couldn’t help but feel that there was something strange about Han Jing’s expression, but she couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
After Han Jing stopped about a meter away from her, Shi Yao spoke up once more, “Senior Han, why did you call me… ?”
Han Jing wasn’t in a hurry to reply to Shi Yao’s question. Instead, he glanced at the beautiful roses beside him before asking the obvious question, “You’re with… Lin Jiage?”
Back then, Shi Yao had already rejected Han Jing, so she didn’t hold back at all. She told him honestly, “Un, we’re together.”
Han Jing didn’t say a word.
Shi Yao didn’t know what to say either.
The silence between the two of them made Shi Yao feel a little uncomfortable, so she subconsciously found an excuse to leave, “Senior Han, I need to go to the washroom, so I’ll be leaving first…”
With that, Shi Yao bent down and picked up the large bouquet of roses, preparing to head into the office building.
She had only taken a few steps when Han Jing called out to her once more.
“Shi Yao.”
Shi Yao stopped in her tracks.
This time, before she could speak, Han Jing continued, “You and I have always been very close. I want to ask you, back then, did you… Do you like me a Little?”
Shi Yao frowned.
Why would senior Han ask such a question… did I do something wrong to give him such an illusion?
Han Jing stared at Shi Yao and asked, “If it weren’t for Lin Jiage, would you have been together with me?”
Shi Yao’s frown deepened, “Senior Han, I think that you might have misunderstood me. In the beginning, because you’re from Tian Tian’s hometown, I only treated you as a friend. Later on, I found out about your feelings, so I decided to sever all ties with you. It’s not because you’re not a good person, but because I can’t give you what you want… If I did something that caused you to misunderstand, I’ll apologize to you right now… As for what happened between us, it really has nothing to do with Lin Jiage. I Won’t be together with you without him…”
“Is that really what you think?”
Shi Yao didn’t like the feeling of being dragged along, so she put her heart into it and decided not to drag others along. She knew that her words were hurtful, but sometimes, hurtful words weren’t the most hurtful, so Shi Yao didn’t hesitate, she nodded her head earnestly and said, “That’s right, senior Han. That’s really what I think.”
