Chapter 1462: Why Must One Forget

The man looked carefully at the guy in front of him.

He discovered that the suit on this person looked very expensive.

His tie clip seemed to be made of gemstones.

The watch on his wrist was worth even more...

In short, this seemed to be a person not to be trifled with!

Realizing this, the man dared not be arrogant anymore.

He tugged at his girlfriend, and the two of them slunk away.

Once these two left, the other couples in the cinema sat up straight unconsciously.

Even those who wanted to be lovey-dovey didn't dare to be anymore.

They were terrified of being targeted by someone too.

But Xu Xiaoxiao wasn't that idle; as long as it wasn't excessive, she couldn't be bothered to meddle in other people's business.

It's just that...

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't relax just because that couple had left.

Instead, she felt even more nervous!

Moreover, she didn't know if it was her imagination, but she could feel someone in the row behind the next one watching her...

Xu Xiaoxiao sat upright until the movie ended.

She still had no intention of greeting Jiang Chenghao; instead, she followed the crowd and took a different path from Jiang Chenghao to leave the cinema.

Standing at the entrance of the cinema, Xu Xiaoxiao thought her chance encounter with Jiang Chenghao had ended just like that.

However...

"Xu Xiaoxiao!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Xu Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat.

She hesitated for a moment before slowly turning around.

And in the moment she turned, she saw a familiar figure.

In Xu Xiaoxiao's impression, Jiang Chenghao was gentle and refined.

Even if he was occasionally crazy... that was under the influence of alcohol.

But now? Jiang Chenghao had lost so much weight, and there was a bit more world-weariness at the corners of his eyes and brows.

Looking at him like this, Xu Xiaoxiao's heart suddenly ached.

But she didn't want to show this heartache, so she feigned a carefree attitude and greeted Jiang Chenghao: "Long time no see."

"It hasn't been that long, has it? Didn't we just see each other inside the cinema?"

"That... doesn't count, it was pitch black."

Jiang Chenghao smiled and replied: "That's true."

Xu Xiaoxiao felt that the conversation could end here.

Say "goodbye," and then go their separate ways.

But...

Xu Xiaoxiao's brain couldn't control her mouth, and she blurted out: "I heard you've been going abroad a lot lately; is work very busy?"

As soon as she said this, Xu Xiaoxiao regretted it.

Yet on the other hand, she was longing for Jiang Chenghao's answer.

Jiang Chenghao then said: "It is indeed busy, but it's also very rewarding."

"Then, in your busy schedule, you took the time to watch a movie to relax?"

"Relaxation is one aspect..." Jiang Chenghao paused, then shifted the topic to Xu Xiaoxiao, "Do you also like watching sci-fi movies?"

"It's alright, but Xin'ai likes them very much; she was really looking forward to this movie."

Mentioning Liu Xin'ai, the expression on Jiang Chenghao's face suddenly became very gentle.

And Xu Xiaoxiao realized belatedly... this might not have been a simple chance encounter!

This discovery was like a bucket of cold water, drenching Xu Xiaoxiao from head to toe!

She lowered her eyes, her voice also a bit cold: "Are you trying to have a chance encounter with Xin'ai? That's a pity, she decided to come watch it with Qin Yiyan in a few days. Oh right, Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan have made up; she is very happy now."

Jiang Chenghao knew everything about Liu Xin'ai.

Naturally, he also knew that Qin Yiyan and Liu Xin'ai had reconciled.

But...

Deep down, Jiang Chenghao still had his concerns.

He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked: "Could Xin'ai have been deceived by Qin Yiyan, and only made that decision on impulse?"

"No, she thought it through carefully."

"Was it really thought through carefully?"

"Yes."

"But Qin Yiyan is very cunning and also very good at disguising himself; one careless move and it's easy to fall into his trap!"

No matter how he thought about it, Jiang Chenghao felt that Liu Xin'ai's decision was unreliable.

He still wanted to know more details from Xu Xiaoxiao.

However... Xu Xiaoxiao didn't make a sound again.

She lowered her head, gently kicking a pebble with the toe of her shoe.

This indifferent attitude made Jiang Chenghao a little anxious.

He frowned slightly and asked: "Are you listening to me?"

"I heard you."

"But why aren't you saying anything?"

"What do you want me to say?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's counter-question left Jiang Chenghao stunned for a moment.

Then, he said, "Naturally, to discuss Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan..."

Before Jiang Chenghao could finish his sentence, Xu Xiaoxiao interrupted, "I don't think there's anything to discuss regarding this. If you want to know the details, go ask Xin'ai yourself."

Jiang Chenghao pursed his lips and replied, "Asking you is the same thing."

"How could that be the same? I'm not the person involved! Besides, if these words are passed back and forth, the meaning is very likely to change. You, just go find Xin'ai and let her resolve all your questions at once."

Jiang Chenghao... did he not want to ask?

He wanted to see Liu Xin'ai more than anyone!

However...

Jiang Chenghao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then muttered, "What right do I have to ask now?"

"So you came to ask me? Then may I ask, what right do you have to occupy my time?"

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know what came over her; looking at Jiang Chenghao's lovelorn appearance, a sudden burst of irritation flared up in her heart.

Then she opened her mouth and retorted.

But soon, she regretted it.

Facing Jiang Chenghao's slightly surprised gaze, Xu Xiaoxiao explained, "What I mean is... I am not the person involved, and there are some questions I cannot answer for you on Xin'ai's behalf."

Her explanation was somewhat pale.

But Jiang Chenghao didn't mind; he smiled and said, "My attitude was also problematic, my apologies."

The way he apologized made Xu Xiaoxiao's heart ache fiercely.

She didn't want to get angry anymore, so she lowered her eyes and asked calmly, "In your heart, you still can't let go of Xin'ai?"

"I am already trying hard to let go."

That meant he still hadn't let go.

Sigh, since ancient times, loving someone you cannot have is the most tormenting thing.

Xu Xiaoxiao sympathized with Jiang Chenghao in her heart.

So she offered comfort, "I think Xin'ai said something very right: the past is already in the past, and people should look forward."

"Mm, that makes a lot of sense."

"But you can't do it?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's assessment was very accurate.

Jiang Chenghao gave a bitter smile and said, "As expected of a psychology expert, I truly cannot do it. Then... do you have any way to help me?"

Jiang Chenghao sincerely hoped to receive some guidance.

But regarding love...

There was very little Xu Xiaoxiao could do to help.

After all, she herself was a novice at love.

Yet, facing Jiang Chenghao's hopeful gaze... Xu Xiaoxiao did not refuse.

She thought hard and said, "Distract yourself."

"I've already tried this method, but no matter how hard I work, I can't forget the things I want to forget."

"Why must you forget?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's counter-question left Jiang Chenghao stunned.
