The rest of my life is only early summer

Chapter 220 Empathy
Qiao Chuxia didn't expect Zhao Xiukai to say these words, and he didn't expect him to confess to her directly. Zhao Xiukai likes her. Qiao Chuxia is not stupid. She knows more or less, but knowing is one thing. It's another thing to be exposed face to face like this.

It took Qiao Chuxia some time to stand in place before digesting Zhao Xiukai's words, her thick and curly eyelashes trembled slightly, she cleared her throat, and said hesitantly, "Senior Zhao, I, I... Thank you very much You, me, me..."

Qiao Chuxia didn't know what was wrong with her. She was always eloquent, but she was at a loss for words at this second. She didn't know how to speak, and she stuttered.

It's not that she hasn't been confessed in this way before, she always refuses directly without hesitation, leaving no room for others to have any illusions, and rejects cleanly.

But at this time, she couldn't say what she said so heartlessly and decisively. It wasn't that she didn't want to make it clear to Zhao Xiukai, she couldn't bear to reject him, and wanted to be ambiguous with him.

It's just that in the past two years, he has been treating her sincerely and taking good care of her. When there was a sudden change in her family, he was the only person who stayed by her side except her best friend Lin Yijia.

So she couldn't say those hurtful words.

Qiao Chuxia was just thinking about what to say, thinking about how not to hurt Zhao Xiukai.

But as smart as she was, she knew that even if she didn't say or do anything, just refusing would have hurt him.

She felt the same kind of silent hurt. She had been rejected so silently before, and her body was hurt badly. She knew how painful, hurtful, and desolate this pain was.

It was because she knew everything that she didn't know how to speak.

She was also afraid that once she said her refusal, she and Zhao Xiukai would really become strangers from now on.

That's why she was hesitant, indecisive, and ruthless.

Qiao Chuxia opened her mouth, and the words of refusal lingered in her mouth several times, but she couldn't say anything. She looked at the serious Zhao Xiukai with turbulent eyes, and pursed her lips, not knowing what to do.

Even though Qiao Chuxia hesitated for a long time without uttering a complete sentence, Zhao Xiukai waited for her with full patience, without the slightest impatience, and waited quietly for her to speak.
-
Li Jinchen received a message from Qiao Chuxia before he got off work in the afternoon, and his original plan to go home was also forced to be cancelled. Taking advantage of the time, he asked Liu Yang to make an appointment with the contractor who built the commercial building in the south of the city, and discuss the cooperation details in detail in the evening.

After Li Jinchen finished talking with the contractor, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Thinking that Qiao Chuxia should have gone home, after the meeting was over, he asked Liu Yang to take him back to the apartment.

The traffic along the way was exceptionally smooth, and within half an hour Liu Yang had already arrived near Li Jinchen's community by car.

When approaching the apartment, the traffic suddenly started to congest. I don't know if there was a traffic accident ahead, or because of other reasons, Liu Yang was less than ten meters away but drove for a full 10 minutes.

Li Jinchen tilted his head slightly and looked through the windshield at the glowing red taillights in front of him, and then raised his hand to look at the expensive watch on his wrist. It was almost ten o'clock at night.

Li Jinchen said directly to Liu Yang without the slightest hesitation, "I'll get off here, you can get off work."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Liu Yang's stunned expression, he pushed open the car door, got out of the car, and walked onto the sidewalk.
