"Hope." But I had little confidence in him.

Luo Zheming approached me, his breath scattering on my face, making me shrink back, yet he whispered in my ear: "I like you, it has nothing to do with you!"

After hearing his words, I stepped back a few steps.

Luo Zheming seemed to look at me with that panicked gaze, and in his eyes I saw disappointment and heartache.

Even though I felt reluctant and pained, I could do nothing; I fully understood my own status, I fully understood that there was no possibility between him and me.

So, all I could give him was indifference.

Although he also understood my feelings and situation with Shangguan Yun.

But love, when it comes, simply comes.

Although he always says he likes me, it has nothing to do with me, but how could it truly be unrelated?

Finally, I gave a bitter smile and said: "You'd better not like me, forget me—that's the path you should take."

After saying that, I turned and left; although I spoke very softly, I believed he heard it.

Although I turned and left, I still seemed able to feel his desolate gaze continually fixed on my back.

Yet I, feeling heartbroken, dared not turn my head to look at him; inexplicably, a faint ache began in my chest.

What is going on?

Could it be because I'm too soft-hearted?

Luo Zheming's kindness toward me is genuine; I can feel it—I am not cold-blooded and unfeeling, he truly treats me well.

But I cannot repay him!

All morning, my mind was unsettled, continually unsettled.

Even when the bell rang to end class, I remained unsettled.

But I told myself I couldn't be like this, couldn't, must not be like this; if I were, Shangguan Yun would surely notice something.

I felt that during this period, my odd behavior had already let Shangguan Yun notice something, because he is so shrewd and perceptive; he must have sensed something, which is why he kept suggesting we have a meal with Luo Zheming.

Otherwise, he wouldn't do this; he wouldn't bother with such trivial matters!

Only when my phone rang did my spirit seem to return.

It was Shangguan Yun calling; I answered, forcing a smile onto my face: "Hey, Shangguan Yun... you've come."
