Looking at the tension and anticipation in those lively, beautiful eyes, Xu Wendong suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if an invisible knife was being pulled back and forth.
If Chen Qiaomu had confessed to him before he dropped out of school, he would have overcome all difficulties, even worked part-time to earn money and stay in school.
But...
The moment he left campus, the two of them grew further apart.
Although they reunited after a long time, he was no longer that inexperienced boy.
Just when he didn't know how to answer, Chen Qiaomu's voice sounded again: "You don't have to rush to answer. I just want to be your girlfriend, I haven't thought about us getting married."
"I'm afraid of marriage. I just want to be an ordinary woman. I never planned to start my own family."
"If you also want to date, we can try."
The pain in Xu Wendong's heart escalated again.
He knew this was the trauma Chen Qiaomu's original family inflicted on her.
