It was clear to see the little woman's melancholy and her stubborn attempt to act as if nothing had happened. Gu Jingxin's heart felt as if it had been slashed by a knife, a mess of helpless pain. He wanted to speak, but in the end, he said nothing. All he did was cast the little woman a deep, lingering glance, filled with yearning, before finally turning around and leaving reluctantly, his steps steady and measured.
"Mm."
As Gu Jingxin turned his head, Zhou Xingyan nodded vigorously, forcing a small smile as she gave her response.
After Gu Jingxin left, Zhou Xingyan went back to her room and retrieved her phone. Because she had been drunk the night before, her phone had run out of battery and hadn't been turned on since. Now, the little woman finally plugged it in to charge, pressed the power button, and turned it on.
