1095: I’m leaving (1)

I’m leaving (1)

Lin Jiayi stared at Xia Shangzhou for a moment before walking over to him. Pulling out a chair, she sat down and took a bite of the fried dough stick that Xia Shangzhou had passed her. After which, she raised her head and looked at Xia Shangzhou. "Navigator..."1

As Xia Shangzhou filled Lin Jiayi's bowl with soy milk, he replied with a soft voice, "HM?".

Lin Jiayi paused for a few seconds before saying, "I'm leaving."

Xia Shangzhou's fingers that were holding the bowl trembled slightly. It was as if he didn't understand the meaning behind her words for a moment. After a long while, he finally raised his head to look at Lin Jiayi and asked, "Leaving?"

"Yes... Thank you for taking me in during this period of time, but I still have to go back to work, and I have to go back to where I belong."

That's right. No matter how happy he had been recently, this was just a short period of time. She had to leave eventually... she had never belonged to him from the start to the end. For her to be able to stay with him for so long.., he should be very satisfied..

With this thought in mind, Xia Shangzhou lowered his head, afraid that Lin Jiayi would catch a glimpse of something in his expression.

He tried his best to calm down his emotions before finally speaking up, "Do you want to go straight to the office or go home? Do You Want Me to drive you?"

"No need. I'll have my assistant pick me up. She'll be here around 8:10."

Xia Shangzhou replied with an 'Oh'before placing a bowl of soy milk in front of Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi thanked him before taking a spoon and adding some sugar into it. After stirring it twice, she took two sips with a gentle expression on her face.

Xia Shangzhou stood at the opposite side of the table in a daze for a moment before taking a glance at the clock on the wall in the living room. It was already almost 8:00, and there were only ten minutes left before she left... he stared at the clock in a daze for a moment, then, he turned to look at Lin Jiayi. He stared at her beautiful face for a moment before shifting his gaze back and forth. There were some things that he still couldn't bring himself to say.

That's right. It wasn't that he still couldn't bring himself to say them, it was just that he didn't have the right to say them..

He wanted to ask her if she would come to his house in the future, and he also wanted to ask her if he could visit her more often in the future... but he really didn't have the right to say such words. He wasn't worthy of her, so he couldn't play around with her for his own selfish desires, playing those games with her.

Xia Shangzhou silently scooped a bowl of soy milk for himself and sat down in front of Lin Jiayi as he ate his breakfast in a daze.

In truth, he and Lin Jiayi used to eat these things every morning, and he always felt extremely satisfied. But no matter how much sugar was added today, he still felt that the soy milk was bitter.

Before he could finish his breakfast, Lin Jiayi's phone rang.

It was her assistant, and she was already downstairs.

Lin Jiayi had almost finished her breakfast. She raised her head and glanced at Xia Shangzhou, who hadn't eaten much yet. After some thought, she turned to her assistant and said, "Wait for her.".

After Xia Shangzhou finished his breakfast, Lin Jiayi wanted to help him clean up, but Xia Shangzhou smiled and said that it was fine as long as he was here. After a while, Xia Shangzhou said, "Isn't your assistant already here?"? "If you have something to do, go ahead and do it.".

Lin Jiayi replied with a 'un'before sitting down on the dining chair for a while longer. After which, she said, "I'll be leaving first then. If there's anything else, we'll call you later."

Xia Shangzhou replied with two 'yes'in a fluster, but nothing came out of his mouth as he left to wash the dishes.

Lin Jiayi stared at Xia Shangzhou, who had his back facing her, and an unspeakable discomfort suddenly rose in her heart. She sat down on the chair for a while longer before standing up and leaving.
