Back on the cruise ship...
Xiao Zhiren was still in shock at the fact that Ru left just like that. It hurt to know that she didn't even look back once but he was somewhat familiar with her nature by now and knew how much of a one-tracked person she was. If something got stuck in her mind, she won't look back at another thing until or unless she had dealt with the first thing.
However, he really was irked by the fact that she left with someone who seemed closer to her than he ever felt. He really thought he was close to Ru by now but the first person to make him question that was, Jie. Still, Ru's mannerisms with Jie assured him that they were just best friends who could tease each other and all.
Nonetheless, it was completely different this time around. That person around Ru seemed nothing different than Jie and yet it seemed awfully different.
"Why is everyone gathered here? Did the meeting started already?"
