"Because I like you."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "But the person I like is you, Lin Jiayi."
Lin Jiayi was taken aback. She could clearly feel her heartbeat speeding up, a speed that she couldn't control at all.
It didn't take long for her to realize that she had exposed herself. Fearing that Xia Shangzhou would notice something amiss, she immediately pretended to be drunk once more. Staring at Xia Shangzhou, she intentionally rambled on, "Lin Jiayi … This name sounds really familiar. I feel like I've heard it somewhere before … Hmm …"
Lin Jiayi rubbed her glabella with a troubled look on her face. She muttered, "I really do feel like I've heard it somewhere before, but I just can't recall where I've heard it before …"
"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore …" As she spoke, Lin Jiayi hugged the wine bottle tightly and turned to Xia Shangzhou with a drunken look on her face. "Then, Mister, how long have you liked her? How much do you like her? "
"Six years. I've liked her for six years …" Even though Xia Shangzhou knew she was drunk and would forget everything he said when she woke up, he still stared into her eyes. As if he was making a sincere vow, he said solemnly and sincerely, "… If you want to ask me how much I like her, I really don't know. I only know that in these six years, there wasn't a moment when I didn't like her."
Lin Jiayi's hand trembled, and she accidentally dropped the wine bottle onto the floor. With a resounding 'pah', the glass shattered all over the floor.
It was fortunate that she was feigning drunkenness, so she could pass it off as an accident. However, she didn't have the courage to look at Xia Shangzhou anymore.
She wasn't sure if it was because the designer had designed the restaurant's lighting too well during the renovation, or if she was really a little drunk, but she felt that his eyes were really seductive. She was afraid that if she continued to look at him, she would make a mistake, so she pretended not to understand what she had just done. She stared at the scattered pieces of glass on the floor and continued to ask, "Then, are you with her?"
All of a sudden, the restaurant became somewhat silent.
Lin Jiayi waited for a moment, but seeing that he wasn't saying anything, she discreetly lifted her eyes to look in Xia Shangzhou's direction.
The young man lowered his head, and an aura of sadness and desolation began emanating from his body.
Her heart felt as if it was being fiercely gripped by something, giving rise to a sharp pain.
Her breathing stilled, and when she calmed down a little, her lips moved again. She wanted to ask him why he wasn't saying anything, but before she could say anything, he said, "No."
"I haven't been with her … I didn't even dare to let her know that I liked her."
"Why?" This was something that Lin Jiayi had always been curious about. The Navigator had liked her for such a long time, but why hadn't he told her about it? In fact, he had been hiding it so well all this while.
"I don't want to cause trouble for her. I know where I stand, and I know that I'm not good enough for her. That's why I've always wanted to be by her side from the beginning until now. But in the end, she didn't want me to be by her side anymore. But it doesn't matter, as long as she's happy. It's always been that simple …" After a pause, Xia Shangzhou continued, "… Also, she's so good, she deserves the best in the world, I …"
