"Let's break up!"
He heard her say it just like that.
"Xiao Jin, are you breaking up with me just because I hugged Cheng Xin?" Shao Chong was surprised that Gu Jin would initiate a breakup, but he didn't take it seriously. He seemed certain that Gu Jin was joking and responded gently, "Didn't I explain? I only lent her my shoulder to lean on. We're all good friends; there's no need to make a big deal out of it, right?"
"No." Gu Jin shook her head. "It's not because you hugged her."
"It's your heart and the look in your eyes that tell me - you don't like me." She took a step forward, looking up at him. Despite her shorter stature, her gaze was firm, exuding a strong and resilient determination.
"The person you like," she said, looking directly into Shao Chong's eyes, taking a deep breath as if gathering the courage to smile, "is Cheng Xin."
It wasn't a question; it was a statement.
BOOM!
Her words hit Shao Chong like a thunderclap, leaving his mind in chaos.
How did she know?
When did she find out?
A flood of questions overwhelmed him...
His lips moved, wanting to say, 'Cheng Xin and I are just good friends. You're overthinking this.'
But the words stuck in his throat under Gu Jin's perceptive gaze, and he couldn't utter a single syllable.
Her eyes remained clear and captivating, her smile gentle and kind, yet somehow unfamiliar to Shao Chong.
At this moment, any words felt powerless.
He remembered the uncontainable joy in Gu Jin's eyes when he had said, 'Let's be together.'
And now, just days later, she wanted to break up?
Shao Chong didn't love Gu Jin, but he had never considered breaking up with her!
But Gu Jin's expression was serious. She wasn't joking!
Shao Chong couldn't believe it.
In the end, he awkwardly left with a hurried, "You're tired and talking nonsense. I'll pretend I didn't hear anything you just said, and you shouldn't mention it again. I won't break up with you," before driving away as if fleeing the scene.
Hah, such a low fighting spirit!
Who are you kidding with your act of deep affection and being a protector?
Since you don't want to break up, then you can't blame me if you end up getting cheated on!
Gu Jin pouted and flipped off the nearly vanished low-profile Audi.
