390 (first watch of the night)

I like you.

Wang Kai had said these four words countless times.

But never had he felt as nervous as he did now.

As he spoke, his heartbeat suddenly quickened, as if it might leap out of his throat at any moment.

Because no girl had ever rejected him before, Chu Jin was a challenge and a conquest to him.

His own circumstances weren't bad either, whether in terms of looks or family background, he was among the best in Capital City.

She wouldn't reject him, would she?

Wang Kai looked expectantly at Chu Jin.

Chu Jin gently withdrew her hand, "Thank you for your feelings, but I already have someone I like, and we're together now, so, goodbye." With those words, she turned and walked away without hesitation, leaving Wang Kai with a serene view of her back.

Was he...rejected?

Although he had mentally prepared himself, Wang Kai couldn't help feeling disappointed.
