Chapter 199 - Forget It

Xing Jiuan took a banana.

These had been washed by the man when she first came in, but she did not eat them.

The man seemed to be a little bothered by what had just happened. "Jiuan, you…"

Xing Jiuan smiled indifferently. "Just take it that I'm bored. I might be a little sleepy."

Of course, the man knew that the truth was not as Xing Jiuan had said.

It was impossible for Xing Jiuan to choose to look for him for such a reason.

However, Xing Jiuan seemed to have laid out everything. What she said was too simple, making him not know where to start addressing it.

Xing Jiuan's change was too strange and sudden.

Was it just a dream?

"Jiuan, have you been under a lot of pressure recently?"

"No, I've been quite relaxed recently." Xing Jiuan was still wondering why she had wanted to come.

She had clearly had many dreams. Why did she come to look for someone this time?

It was too bizarre.

She did not want to think about it anymore.

Knowing that the other party would not say anything, she was very assured.

However, she felt like her thoughts were being controlled. This feeling… was terrible.

The man chatted with Xing Jiuan for a while more. It was really relaxing to chat with him. However, he could tell from her replies to his indirect question that she was not being straightforward.

"Let's forget about that matter. Just treat it as if I was in a daze."

The man did not say anything else.

Xing Jiuan would not listen to his advice.

"If you need anything in the future, come find me anytime," was all he could say.

"Then I hope that I won't look for you again because of this." Xing Jiuan smiled.

The man chuckled as well. "You can chat with me if you're unhappy.

"I think I would make a good conversationalist."

Xing Jiuan looked at him and shook her head, seemingly frowning.

"You're beating around the bush. Who knows when your little secrets will be exposed?

"It's too dangerous."

"I don't think so. I'm sad to hear you say that."

"Then continue to be sad. I'm leaving. It's time to go home and eat."

Xing Jiuan stood up and did not react to the man's feigned sadness.

The man held his chest. "Shouldn't you comfort me?"

Xing Jiuan thought that everyone was looking for her to comfort them. It was as if she really knew how to comfort people.

"No." Xing Jiuan was cold.

"I'm leaving. Bye."

"Wait, I'll send you off." The man hurriedly stood up and followed her out.

As he watched Xing Jiuan leave, the man stood there for a while longer.

Actually, he had liked Xing Jiuan before.

He had liked her very, very much as a woman.

However, he had quickly withdrawn.

He knew he had no chance.

Although in the eyes of many people, he was already outstanding enough, he still felt inferior when facing Xing Jiuan.

He still felt that he was not worthy of her.

As he had discovered it early on, he had left early without being too upset.

However, as he did not meet Xing Jiuan often on purpose, the chances of them meeting were even less. In Xing Jiuan's eyes, he was just an ordinary friend.

Xing Jiuan did not know about his past struggles, likes, and his eventual act of giving up.

That was a good thing.

He thought so.

At least the two of them would not be awkward.

Xing Jiuan could still treat him as a friend.

Being her friend was already a very good thing.
