Jiang Yining returned to her room in low spirits, washed up, and got into bed.
Lying on the bed, there was no message from He Jinxing. Disappointed, she tossed her phone aside again.
She stared at the ceiling, thinking about her interactions with He Jinxing tonight, feeling upset and unsettled.
She had probed him earlier, asking, "So it's unrelated to love?" His answer, even if he'd said it had the tiniest connection, wouldn't have hurt her this much. But he actually answered "Yes," leaving her feeling cheap and thinking there was no need to hold onto anything with him anymore.
She wasn't lacking anything. Why make things hard for herself? Just like Fu Chengxun said, why be so stubborn?
She closed her eyes, her eyes moist. She pulled the quilt over her head. She hated herself for being like this, going back and forth over him, unable to make a decisive decision, even despising herself.
Well, now it's clear. His single "Yes" completely severed her lingering feelings for him.
