Thoughts racing, Chen Kai became even more anxious when he saw footprints at his feet, he was certain that they were left by Qin Yue without a doubt.
His anxiety intensified to the point of desperation. He quickened his pace, hoping to catch up with Qin Yue before she reached the tree and risked injury.
Qin Yue was completely unaware of what was about to happen. Her mind was in chaos, unsure of how to handle the matter between Gao Rourou and Chen Kai.
She felt that she would be extremely disappointed if Chen Kai and Gao Rourou were to end up together.
Only now did she realize that at some unknowable moment, her feelings for Chen Kai had evolved, extending beyond friendship. This realization tossed her heart into further turmoil.
At that moment, Chen Kai saw Qin Yue in the distance. Qin Yue continued to move forward, seemingly lost in thought and oblivious to everything around her.
She didn't even hear the sound of Chen Kai's frantic footsteps behind her.
