This answer, summed up all the courage Qiao Ning had, and crushed all Chen Shuinan's wishful thinking.
His heart felt as if it had been hammered hard by someone.
So much pain...
It turned out, he liked Qiao Ning more than he'd imagined.
But she didn't choose him...
Chen Shuinan could not speak for a while.
Only when the dishes were served, he found his voice again, "Could you accompany me to finish this meal?" he asked in a low voice.
Qiao Ning slowly turned to him, her eyes still filled with immense guilt and remorse, "Okay."
This meal, they both ate slowly.
Chen Shuinan ate slowly because he wanted to spend more time with her, because after this meal, they could no longer dine alone together.
Qiao Ning ate slowly because she couldn't eat at all...
Chen Shuinan tried to lighten the mood with small talk, "Although we can't be lovers, I'm still your teacher. So, you can continue to work, continue to pursue your dreams."
