It was only a few days since they had last met, yet Gao Rourou's complexion had become much more haggard, and although she had carefully applied her makeup, it couldn't hide the desolation shining out of her eyes.
Chen Kai took a deep breath and told himself he must not soften his heart, for he had been fooled by this appearance before.
If it wasn't for placing too much trust in Gao Rourou, he wouldn't have gotten into so much trouble.
With his mind made up, he calmly approached Gao Rourou and pulled out a chair to sit down.
Gao Rourou, immersed in her thoughts with her head lowered, immediately lit up upon seeing Chen Kai.
"I thought you wouldn't come, just now I was telling myself that no matter what, I had to wait for you, even if it meant waiting a whole day because there are some things I want to say to you in person. If you didn't come, I would've found it really hard to be at peace."
Chen Kai quietly gazed at her.
