Before he could say anything, Elena turned away and darted off.
Elena's mind was blank as she slammed her finger onto the elevator button several times. She heard footsteps rushing down the stairs, and she quickly entered the elevator, rushing to close the door. She didn't want to see him.
Elena turned around and saw Lu Chenjun running over. Her tapping quickened as she saw the elevator door beginning to close.
Lu Chenjun was getting closer and closer, until he was gone. The elevator door shook as Lu Chenjun slammed his fist on it, hoping that it would open.
The elevator dropped, and so did Elena's tears. She looked down at her empty hands, realizing that she had left the food container on the ground when she was running away.
Not that it mattered.
The conversation between Grandpa Li and Lu Chenjun replayed in Elena's mind several times.
