Sheng Xian, "Ayan, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together."
Lu Jingyan, "I can't, I have to work overtime tonight."
This was the fifth day Sheng Xian had messaged Lu Jingyan asking her out, only to be rejected again.
Her replies to his messages were always fairly normal, without anything obviously wrong—either she had to dine with clients or she had made prior plans for a friend's birthday.
But he always felt that her behavior, like that of a schoolchild, was a bit off, as if she were deliberately avoiding him.
He spent almost an hour going over the details of his interactions with Lu Jingyan in his mind, very seriously, and he couldn't find anything inappropriate in his own actions.
On the contrary, he thought he had done quite well.
Even when she liked someone like Mu Chuci, he learned about it, and he really couldn't figure out where he had gone wrong.
