She didn't ask him about the hotel fee, so she must have looked it up on the internet after finding out the hotel's name … As for the airfare and drip fees, she did ask him about it, but he didn't think too much of it … Other than that, there seemed to be something else …
Lin Jiage seemed to have guessed something, and he quickly flipped to the first page of the account book in his hand.
What he saw was one record after another.
He continued flipping, and on a certain page, there was a piece of paper pasted on it.
The paper was folded, and after he unfolded it, he realized that it was the name of a certain clothing brand with a price tag attached to it.
Initially, he didn't realize what kind of account it was, but when he saw the date, he suddenly remembered that this was the first semester. On the day she attended her French class, he tagged along and said that her clothes were ugly. She replied fiercely, "Even rats come to my house in tears. Since you think my clothes are ugly, why don't you buy me some clothes then …" Then, he really bought her a box of clothes … and this piece of paper was the price of those clothes.
It wasn't just the money that he had spent on her. She had even recorded the allowance that her grandfather, her parents, and Lin Jiayi had given her in detail, from the present to six years ago …
When Lin Jiage flipped through the account book page by page, he realized that his hands were trembling, and his heart was flustered.
She had recorded every single person in his family, every single cent they had given her, and every single cent they had spent on her. Why was that so?
Even if he didn't ask, the answer should be obvious … She was hoping that one day, when she became capable enough to earn money, she would return all of it to him?
Lin Jiage stared at the account book in his hand, as if a statue. It took him a very long time before he finally recovered from his daze.
He turned around to look at the sleeping young lady, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
Why did she want to return all of that money? Was it because she didn't want to get too deeply involved with his family from the very start? Was it because she wanted to sever all ties with them one day?
Lin Jiage felt as if something was squeezing his heart viciously, causing a piercing pain and a bone-piercing chill.
He did not dare to look at her for too long and quickly withdrew his gaze.
He frantically flipped to the last page of the account book and put the pen back. Then, he closed the account book and put it back on the bedside table.
He stood up in a panic, not daring to stay in her room for a second longer. He took slightly disorderly steps and left.
He returned to his room and didn't turn on the lights. In the darkness, he stared at a certain spot in the air for a long time before he lifted his feet and dragged his suddenly heavy steps to the side of his bed and lay down on it.
His mind was blank as he stared at the ceiling for a long time before he blinked his eyelids lightly.
Just now, when he saw her WeChat messages, he was so happy … He thought he still had hope … But now, he realized he had been too optimistic.
In her heart, from the past until now, she had never thought of him as … No, to be exact, she had never thought of him as her fiancé.
