Chapter 624: Chapter 625 Pursuit (7)_1
This ti, Jing Haohao showed no reaction at all.
Liang Chen’s hand clenched around his car keys, standing still montarily before finally stepping out and exiting Jing Haohao’s room.
The gentle sound of the door closing echoed behind him, making him feel as though his heart was plumting into an abyss.
He stood in the quiet corridor leaning against her door, before eventually turning around and heading towards the stairs.
Stepping outside, the biting chill of late autumn swept over him, clearing his head slightly.
The residential courtyard was silent. He walked slowly towards his car and took a seat inside, without starting the engine. He lifted his head to peer through the window at Jing Haohao’s lit room, feelings his emotions complex and indescribable.
During his airport wait in Japan, Jing Haohao had lit a faint beacon of hope in his heart, it sotis felt enough to illuminate his whole world, other tis felt dangerously close to extinguishing.
He didn’t plan on giving up, but… his confidence was shaky at best.
…
After what seed an unasurable amount of ti, Jing Haohao stirred from her seat on the sofa. As she looked up, she suddenly realized the room was empty, Liang Chen was no longer there.
That realization sunk her spirits even lower.
…
Indeed, Liang Chen hadn’t given up. Despite witnessing Jing Haohao’s distressed state over Shen Liangnian, he found himself loitering beneath her building the entire night. But as the sun broke through at seven in the morning, he texted her his usual good morning.
Jing Haohao, having not slept a wink, sat stiffly on the sofa all night. When the sudden chi of her cell phone rang out, she got up, trying to shake the numbness from her legs, and walked over to the table to check her phone. Seeing Liang Chen’s simple two-word ssage – “Good Morning”, her spirits picked up a bit. She nibbled on her finger, thinking for a while before replying with the sa ssage: “Good Morning”.
…
From within his car parked downstairs, Liang Chen glanced at her response and felt the faint glimr of hope in his heart grow a tad brighter. He then texted her back, reminding her to have breakfast.
Jing Haohao replied with three words: “You too”.
With his spirits lifted, Liang Chen drove off to work cheerily.
Feeling more relaxed, Jing Haohao then climbed back into bed to make up for her lost sleep.
…
The appearance of Shen Liangnian that night seed like a minor incident that barely caused any ripples.
With their daily text exchanges and occasional als together, the relationship between Jing Haohao and Liang Chen continued like nothing happened, progressing steadily and seemingly promising a future where they would be in love.
But most tis, we tend to idealize ourselves more than others.
Like Liang Chen, who thought his deep affection for Jing Haohao could erase what happened that night when Shen Liangnian ca looking for her. He overlooked the fact that when you’re in love, you tend to be petty and jealous. He kept up a front of nonchalance about Shen Liangnian’s midnight visit to Jing Haohao.
But deep down, he was bothered… imnsely bothered about it.
