Going on like this, Han Jifeng could very well beco the next Song Baiyan.
Lai Shengxia sat on the sofa, having lived for over two decades, always priding herself on being smart, yet she had totally misjudged Han Jifeng. If they hadn’t broken up back then and she had endured a few years with Han Jifeng, she wouldn’t need to lower her pride to co to the Judicial Administration Bureau now.
Thinking this, she raised her eyes to look at him: "Do you... not want to see now?"
"No," Han Jifeng walked to the water dispenser, pouring a glass of water for Lai Shengxia: "I haven’t been at the new job for long, haven’t managed to take care of other things, and it’s inevitable to lose touch with old classmates."
...Old classmates.
The mont Lai Shengxia heard this term, it felt as if she had been suddenly pushed away, and the person who pushed her was Han Jifeng, who still harbored old feelings for her.
"I sent you a ssage last ti, you didn’t reply."
Her gaze still fixed on Han Jifeng’s back.
Han Jifeng let go of the water dispenser’s tap: "I haven’t checked WeChat in a long ti, if there’s sothing you can call ."
Lai Shengxia: "So I can’t look for you if there’s nothing?"
Han Jifeng paused while screwing on the cup lid, turned around, then continued: "As classmates, even after graduation, we should still get in touch now and then, hang out when we’re free, to avoid becoming strangers."
Lai Shengxia looked at Han Jifeng, especially his eyes, quiet and unfathomably deep, yet they didn’t seem like those of soone Han Jifeng’s age.
Including when Han Jifeng spoke, his official tone was quite heavy, even when intending to set clear boundaries, he didn’t speak too harshly.
This kind of ticulous sleekness could only be done by soone steeped in politics for many years.
As for Han Jifeng, he had only graduated a few years.
Upon reflection, it had been six or seven months since they last t.
Half a year ago, Han Jifeng had feelings for her, even if he restrained himself, both his glances and the ssages he replied with could make her perceive sothing, but now... Lai Shengxia’s heart beca even more uncertain.
She didn’t know if Han Jifeng had encountered sothing over these few months, otherwise, this big change wouldn’t be possible.
Thinking of Qin Yueru, she asked: "How has your mother been recently?"
"She’s doing well." Han Jifeng placed the tea cup in front of her.
With that, there was a mont of silence in the office.
Just as Lai Shengxia was about to start a conversation, Han Jifeng spoke first: "Speaking of which, you got engaged last September, I haven’t congratulated you yet."
"..." Lai Shengxia slightly tugged her lips, old affections that had dissipated gathered again in her heart, those beautiful peach-blossom eyes looking at Han Jifeng, and she countered: "Can you really be happy for being engaged to soone else?"
It was as if Han Jifeng failed to see the sourness in her eyes, he walked to his desk, picking up a docunt: "As a classmate, I haven’t had the chance to give a gift, and saying congratulations now, if it isn’t heartfelt, that would be too insincere for our years of companionship."
These words completely wiped out their past relationship that had ended without sickness.
Suddenly, Lai Shengxia asked: "Do you have a girlfriend?"
After asking, she seed to realize her own abruptness, holding the tea cup tightly, her eyelashes downcast, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I heard from my dad, nowadays many families are eager for you to beco their son-in-law, actually, I should be the one congratulating you. You’ve been promoted, and my visit today is also on my dad’s orders."
Having said that, Lai Shengxia looked up at Han Jifeng again: "I wonder if you still rember Ah Li? The relative who stayed at our house."
Han Jifeng stopped turning the pages.
