It was already early winter, so the temperature was still rather cold at night. Lin Jiage glanced at the thin clothes Shi Yao was wearing, and after a moment's thought, he took off his coat and draped it over Shi Yao's shoulders.
The head of the Education Bureau couldn't bear to look at the sight, so he quickly turned his head away and said, "Lin Jiage, hurry up …" before entering the office building.
After draping the coat over Shi Yao's shoulders, Lin Jiage took the opportunity to pat her cheeks lightly before entering the office building as well.
After Lin Jiage entered, Shi Yao placed the huge bouquet of roses on the balcony in the garden, and while sipping on her drink, she began counting the flowers with her head lowered.
One, two, three, four … 47, 48 …
"Shi Yao."
Hearing someone calling out to her, Shi Yao instinctively turned her head over, and when she saw who it was, the smile on her face disappeared, and she straightened her back. "Senior Han."
Han Jing stared at Shi Yao for a moment before lifting his leg and taking a few more steps toward her.
Under the light from the office building, Shi Yao felt that there was something strange about Han Jing's expression, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.
When Han Jing stopped roughly a meter away from her, Shi Yao finally spoke up once more, "Senior Han, did you … call for me?"
Han Jing wasn't in a hurry to reply to Shi Yao's question. Instead, he glanced at the beautiful roses by the side before asking a question that he already knew the answer to, "Are you … together with Lin Jiage?"
Shi Yao, who had openly rejected Han Jing back then, didn't try to hide anything from him anymore. She told him honestly, "Un. We're together now."
Han Jing didn't say anything.
Shi Yao didn't know what to say either.
The silence between the two of them made Shi Yao feel a little uncomfortable. She subconsciously found an excuse to leave, "Senior Han, I need to use the washroom, so I'll be leaving first …"
As she spoke, Shi Yao bent down to pick up the bouquet of roses and prepared to head back into the office building.
But barely after she took a few steps, Han Jing suddenly called out to her.
"Shi Yao."
Shi Yao halted her footsteps.
This time, before she could say anything, Han Jing continued, "You've always been on good terms with me. I want to ask you, back then, did you … like me a little?"
Shi Yao frowned.
Why would Senior Han ask such a question … Did I do something wrong to give him such a misconception?
Han Jing stared at Shi Yao for a moment before asking, "If not for Lin Jiage, would you still be with me?"
"Senior Han, I think you might have misunderstood something. In the beginning, I only treated you as a friend because you're from Tian Tian's hometown, but after I learned of your feelings for me, I decided to sever all ties with you. It's not because you're a bad person, but because I can't give you what you want … If I've done anything that has caused you to misunderstand me, I'll apologize to you right now … As for what happened between us, it really has nothing to do with Lin Jiage. Without him, I wouldn't have gotten together with you …"
"Do you really think so?"
