Lin Jiayi stared at Xia Shangzhou for a moment before she walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down. She picked up the youtiao that Xia Shangzhou passed over and took a bite before raising her head to look at Xia Shangzhou. "Navigator …"
Xia Shangzhou scooped a cup of soy milk for Lin Jiayi as he replied with a soft "Hm?"
Lin Jiayi paused for a few seconds before saying, "I'm leaving."
Xia Shangzhou's fingers trembled slightly, seemingly unable to comprehend the meaning behind her words. It took a long while before he raised his head to look at Lin Jiayi and asked, "You're leaving?"
"Yes … Thank you for taking me in all this while, but I'll have to return to work eventually, and I'll have to return to where I belong."
Indeed, no matter how happy I've been lately, it's only temporary. She'll have to leave sooner or later … From the start to the end, she's never belonged to him. I should be very satisfied that she's been able to stay with me for so long …
With such thoughts in mind, Xia Shangzhou lowered his head, fearing that Lin Jiayi would notice something from his expression.
He tried his best to calm his emotions before he finally spoke up. "Do you want to go straight to the company or go home? Do you need me to send you? "
"There's no need for that. I'll get my assistant to pick me up. She'll be here around 8.10 am."
Xia Shangzhou replied with an "Oh" before placing the soy milk in front of Lin Jiayi.
"Thank you", Lin Jiayi added some sugar into the soy milk, stirred it a little, and took two sips with a gentle expression on her face.
Xia Shangzhou stood at the opposite side of the table, dazed for a moment before he glanced at the clock on the living room wall. It was already almost 8 am. There were only ten minutes left before she would leave … He stared at the clock for a moment before turning his gaze back to Lin Jiayi. He gazed at her beautiful face, and his lips twitched a little, but in the end, he still couldn't bring himself to say it.
Indeed, it wasn't that he couldn't bring himself to say it, but that he didn't have the right to say it …
He wanted to ask her if she would still come to his house in the future. He wanted to ask her if he could look for her more often in the future … But he really didn't have the right to say those words. He wasn't worthy of her, so he couldn't play those ambiguous games with her for his own selfish desires.
Silently, Xia Shangzhou scooped himself a bowl of soy milk before sitting down in front of Lin Jiayi and munching on his breakfast in a daze.
In fact, every morning in the past, he and she would eat these things, and he would always feel extremely satisfied. But today, no matter how much sugar was added, he still felt that the soybean milk was bitter.
Before she could finish her breakfast, Lin Jiayi's phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from her assistant. She was already downstairs.
Lin Jiayi was almost done with her breakfast. She raised her head to look at Xia Shangzhou, who hadn't eaten much yet, and after a moment of contemplation, she turned to her assistant and said, "Wait a moment for her."
After Xia Shangzhou finished his breakfast, Lin Jiayi offered to help him tidy up the table, but Xia Shangzhou simply smiled and said, "There's no need for that. I'll do it myself." A moment later, Xia Shangzhou said, "Isn't your assistant here already? If you have something to do, then go and do it.
Lin Jiayi replied with an "Un" as she sat on the chair for a while longer before saying, "I'll be taking my leave then. If there's anything, let's keep in touch via phone."
Xia Shangzhou was so flustered that he blurted out the word 'okay' twice. After that, he could not say anything else and went to wash the dishes.
