"But back then, I was truly happy."
"..."
Chi Zaozao looked at his sorrowful face, and found herself unable to utter a single word.
Yes, back when we were children and understood nothing, I realize now how truly happy we were then.
She lowered her eyes, trying hard to hide the sadness within them, then lifted her head and smiled at him, "In the future, we'll still be good friends, like siblings, and you'll always be the sunny, handsome, and kindest big brother in my heart."
Big brother? Still?
Tang Wanjun looked at her, feeling an inexplicable pain in his chest.
"Zaozao." The two soft words seemed to take all his strength.
Chi Zaozao looked at him, puzzled.
He asked, "From the beginning, did you ever like me, like a boyfriend? Have you ever felt that way?"
Such a question, truly cruel.
How should she answer? Say she never did? That would only make him sadder.
Should she say she liked him? No, she never had those feelings for him.
