Chapter 57 - 057: How sad it will be!
When one of two people who are familiar with each other starts to have feelings, they become cautious, fearing to touch the boundary of this relationship, which might force them apart. Cen Jin was worried about this, as Jiang Baizhou was unpredictable, and she couldn’t grasp his thoughts, leaving her uncertain. Although he was indeed kind to her, it seemed he only saw her as a friend.
I remember that winter in the last year of high school. After school, they had planned to go home together, but she waited for him at the school gate and didn’t see him. So she had to go to the club to find him. She saw him standing by the trees near the club. Just as she was about to call him, she noticed there was a girl standing in front of him. She recognized the girl—the school broadcaster, particularly beautiful, the school belle of the liberal arts class.
She stood about four or five meters away from them and could hear their conversation clearly—not that she intended to eavesdrop, but at that moment, for some reason, seeing the winter sun slanting on them, she couldn’t move her legs.
The girl blushed, her hands hidden behind her, looking hesitant to speak, while Jiang Baizhou stood there with his back to Cen Jin, making his expression unclear to her, but her heart suddenly reached her throat.
"Um..." After a while, the girl finally mustered a lot of courage to speak, lifting her head to meet Jiang Baizhou’s gaze: "Jiang Baizhou, I like you, can I pursue you?"
Upon hearing the girl’s words, Cen Jin’s heart skipped a beat, she began to feel nervous, staring intently at his captivating and aloof back.
"No." After what seemed like an eternity, Cen Jin, standing not far away, finally heard Jiang Baizhou’s decisive and cold voice. Before she could rejoice, he added: "I already like someone."
