During the lunch break, Xinyi decided to have it alone after going through such a rollercoaster ride during her presentation. She wanted some time for herself to calm down.
Zizi apologized to her on behalf of Han Huizhong, thinking that she would have felt bad as he had asked that question, but Xinyi shook her head.
"No, no. Don't apologize. He was right."
Outside, she sat on the bench under a tree and exhaled.
"Ah, it's finally over…"
She heard Han Huizhong's voice. "It will never be over until you change yourself."
Xinyi jolted and looked behind. "S-Sir…"
She would always be nervous around people, and Han Huizhong was an important figure. The nervousness doubled inside her.
She quickly got up, but he waved his hand to sit. Instead, Han Huizhong sat beside her. He peeked at her lunchbox and felt hungry himself. The food seemed delicious.
"You cooked it?"
"Yes."
"I see."
Xinyi paused and softly asked, "D-Do you want some?"
