NOVPUBXiao Sinian didn’t seem to realize just how annoying his persistent behavior was, but he couldn’t take his eyes off Shen Roujia. When he became aware of his feelings, he couldn’t help but chuckle. “Gu Zhi just left.”
Shen Roujia paused briefly upon hearing this. In truth, she wasn’t here to see Gu Zhi—she had only planned to find Zhang San, change her clothes, and leave. Gu Zhi had just been an excuse to discourage Xiao Sinian. How could it be so coincidentally thwarted?
Feeling helpless, Shen Roujia took a step back to maintain a safe distance from Xiao Sinian, all while silently criticizing him in her mind. “This Xiao Sinian is nowhere near as refined and considerate as Xu Zening. Doesn’t he know how to maintain a proper social distance when talking to people? Why does he have to stand so close?”
Before she could finish her inner complaints, Xiao Sinian was already stepping closer again. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Shen Roujia raised her hand. “Enough. I don’t want to get tangled up with you. I just wanted to say that I was immature before and caused you a lot of trouble.”
“Now that everything’s out in the open, there’s no need for us to keep dwelling on the past.”
Shen Roujia’s words were straightforward, but to Xiao Sinian, they felt like knives stabbing into his heart, causing him pain.
He realized that Shen Roujia had changed, and it was likely because he had been too cold and distant in the past, leading her to no longer trust him.
Of course, Shen Roujia was completely unaware of Xiao Sinian’s self-centered inner turmoil. She simply saw him as a tool to fulfill the storyline.
The only person who Shen Roujia truly felt connected to was Gu Zhi, who could be considered the most important person to her in this world.
Shen Roujia turned her gaze away and noticed Zhang San hiding behind a pillar. Due to his large frame, a good portion of his clothing was sticking out, making him easy to spot.
