"The professor called and said the sooner the better."
The sooner the better…
Which means he would be leaving soon.
Su Jiu felt even more disappointed. She whispered, "Then go back early."
Sensing the little girl's disappointment, Rong Si suddenly felt a little better. "If I leave, will you… miss me?"
Without thinking, Su Jiu replied, "Of course, I will! Won't you miss me?"
As soon as she said that, she suddenly felt awkward.
Tsk, wasn't that too romantic!
Her ears heated, and she was embarrassed to look into Rong Si's deep, beautiful eyes. She had to look away. Rong Si, however, reached out and cupped her face in his hand so that she could look directly at him.
Then, he replied to her earnestly, "I'll miss you, too."
He added, "I've never stopped missing you."
Does he mean that he would always be missing me?
