Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

A familiar voice rang in my ears.

Chen Jianji looked at Lin Qingxue in front of him.

Her pale face was still covered in sweat, and her hair was sticky between her cheeks and neck.

Her clothes were almost completely soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to her body and revealing her slender and graceful curves.

The restaurant's air conditioning was blowing sharply.

The alternating hot and cold temperatures caused an unnatural blush to rise on her cheeks.

The sudden change from hot to cold made her feel unwell, and she might catch a cold soon.

however.

Chen Jianji didn't care about these things.

His brows furrowed, and his voice turned cold.

"Who told you I was here?"

At this moment, Lin Qingxue took several deep breaths and finally calmed down.

She lowered her eyes, staring intently at Chen Jianji, before speaking after a long while.

"Nobody told me that; they just said you ate out."

Chen Jianji frowned even more deeply.

The place he chose was one that neither of them had ever been to before, and it was also the furthest away.

It takes half a day just to ride a bicycle directly from school to here.

Not to mention that Lin Qingxue was unsure of her destination.

How could it possibly have been found?

Lin Qingxue seemed to sense Chen Jianji's confusion. She pursed her lips and spoke slowly.

"I first took a walk around the area near the school."

"I also went to the internet cafe where you usually play games with Zhang Ziliang and the others."

"at last..."

As she spoke, she slowly raised her eyes, the wisps of hair on her forehead swaying with the movement, her voice becoming much softer.

"I remembered this place. I said things here are expensive and it's far away, so it's not worth it, whether it's the travel expenses or anything else."

"I figured if you were avoiding me, you'd probably come here."

Chen Jianji's eyes narrowed slightly, and it took him a while to look away and look down at the exercise book on the table again.

"Don't flatter yourself; nobody's going to avoid you for no reason."

As he spoke, the pen in his hand began to move, the tip of the pen constantly swishing as he wrote exercises.

At the same time, his emotionless voice also came out.

"Of course, people who know others don't want to see them but still insist on coming to their door are also quite rude."

The voice just fell.

Chen Jianji clearly felt the person in front of him pause in breathing.

But she didn't refute it for a while.

Until the figure moved.

The slightly warm feeling gradually disappeared.

Lin Qingxue is gone.

Chan Kin-kei had long anticipated this outcome.

Although Lin Qingxue was taciturn, she had a strong personality.

They've been ridiculed to this extent.

I have no face to stay any longer.

As Chen Jianji worked on his exercises, he couldn't help but sneer.

It's ridiculous, he hasn't even exerted his full strength yet.

Is that not enough?

Fine, out of sight, out of mind!

Just by standing there, that person made you want to give them a piece of your mind.

But Chen Jianji didn't have much time to himself.

Lin Qingxue's soft voice came from the cashier.

"I'd like two of these, please."

Chen Jianji paused in his movements.

Not long after.

Footsteps sounded.

Right under Chen Jianji's nose.

Lin Qingxue's figure returned.

She carried the tray and sat down in the empty seat next to her.

Chen Jianji ignored her and was about to finish his questions.

After Zhang Xinyi finishes using the restroom and checks everything, the two of them will go back together.

But the person next to him seemed determined to make things difficult for Chen Jianji.

A fair hand held a drink and handed it over.

"Would you like some hot oat milk?"

Her voice sounded strained and strained, as if she were trying to hold her breath.

Chen Jianji knew that Lin Qingxue was never good at pleasing others.

Doing something like this always feels awkward and out of place.

Chen Jianji finally put down his pen, slowly raised his eyes, and looked over expressionlessly.

Lin Qingxue met his gaze, and was clearly stunned for a moment, wanting to look away but managing to suppress it.

After a while, he raised the hot drink in his hand and spoke again.

"If you have a cold, drinking hot drinks will..."

Before she could finish speaking...

Chen Jianji interrupted.

"What exactly do you want?"

"No need for beating around the bush or doing all this pretense. Just say what you mean."

Lin Qingxue gripped the hot drink in her hand tightly, opened her mouth for a while before finally uttering a single sentence.

"It's nothing... I just wanted to thank you for taking care of my dad at the hospital yesterday."

Chen Jianji's forehead veins throbbed as he reached out towards the door.

"I would have helped anyone else too."

"I don't need the gift, but I appreciate the thought. If there's nothing else, please leave and don't disturb my studying."

It seems that Chen Jianji's reaction did not meet her expectations.

A moment of stunned silence appeared on Lin Qingxue's face.

But looking at the cold expression on Chen Jianji's face, she couldn't say anything for a moment.

"I..."

"I didn't bother you, I'm eating here too."

Lin Qingxue abruptly changed the subject, slowly withdrawing the hot drink she was holding tightly in her hand.

He looked away and lowered his head to look at the two hot drinks on the table in front of him.

"You can eat here slowly, I'll be going now."

As Chen Jianji spoke, he began to tidy up the test papers and workbooks on the table.

Hearing the commotion from the side, Lin Qingxue's brow twitched.

She instinctively picked up the cup and took a small sip.

It wasn't until he caught a glimpse of the next table being emptied out of the corner of his eye that Chen Jianji was about to stand up.

Bang!

Lin Qingxue slammed the hot drink in her hand onto the table.

"I...want to borrow money from you."

Chen Jianji paused as he picked up his schoolbag.

The veins on his forehead throbbed incessantly.

He never expected that despite his repeated attempts to stop it...

Lin Qingxue actually dared to say that.

The contents of last night's diary, plus the deception from my previous life.

New and old grudges all came rushing back at once.

Chen Jianji gripped the shoulder strap of his schoolbag, tightening and loosening it repeatedly.

He seemed to be trying to suppress his emotions and didn't want to argue with the person in front of him.

But in the end, the emotions surging in his eyes could not be suppressed.

A layer of frost gradually settled on his face.

He had been about to stand up, but slowly sat back down.

And just then...

'Gurgle!'

The sound of a toilet flushing can be heard from the bathroom in the distance.

Lin Qingxue knew Zhang Xinyi had gone there as soon as she came in.

Just as she was about to look over...

But then Chen Jianji's voice rang out.

"Borrow money?"

"How much do you need to borrow?"

......
