Chapter 385: (7 more updates)

A seemingly random statement nearly prompted Xu Niannian to blurt out, "I like men too."

Fortunately, she held onto her rationality and guessed that Zuo Qing hadn't finished speaking.

She waited quietly.

Zuo Qing spoke slowly, "He's been the only man I've liked since my naive early days, but he doesn't like me. I've known this from the beginning..."

As she spoke, Zuo Qing felt discomfort as the image of Jin Ruiyang glancing at her and Xu Sisi, his eyes only for Sisi, emerged in her mind.

Feeling distressed, she unwrapped the oil paper around the Liuyue Su and took a bite.

The sweet fragrance seemed to disperse some of the bitterness in her heart, and Zuo Qing continued at a slow pace, "I thought that if I just waited quietly, stayed by his side, one day he would notice me, but..."

"But he has someone he likes now, doesn't he?" Xu Niannian chimed in.

Zuo Qing froze, staring blankly at Xu Niannian, the tears in her eyes threatening to fall.
