Sheng Shi immediately stepped aside and extinguished the cigarette in his mouth in a nearby ashtray. Looking at the hole in Han Chengchi's tie, his face was full of sorrow as he guiltily said to Han Chengchi, "Chengchi, I'm really sorry... I don't even know what to say..."
Han Chengchi truly believed it was just an accident. He thought the tie was a birthday gift from Gu Enen, so he had been wearing it these past few days, and now it had been burned by Sheng Shi.
He had completely forgotten that Sheng Shi, the privileged son who never had to lift a finger, was not someone who would do such things.
Deep down, Han Chengchi greatly regretted not being more resolute when Sheng Shi was helping him with his tie, not pushing him away.
With the birthday gift destroyed, Han Chengchi felt terribly conflicted. However, seeing Sheng Shi's equally apologetic face, he could only feign indifference, giving a slight smirk and saying, "Shi'er... it's all right."
