Lin Sui saw the expression on Qin Chen's face changing rapidly, and soon he forced a standard smile. He stood up and extended his hand to Lin Sui.

"Hello."

Lin Sui never expected Qin Chen to react like this. She stood there in a daze for a moment. Just like that, she missed the chance to shake hands with Qin Chen after five years.

Qin Chen withdrew his hand, walked around the desk, and extended his hand to invite Lin Sui to the reception area next to him.

"Ms. Maizi, right? I've read the interview outline you prepared. It's quite good. Shall we get started right away?"

He turned around and pressed the phone again, then told his secretary, "Two cups of coffee, thank you."

Lin Sui looked at Qin Chen, who was like a complete stranger, and felt mixed emotions.

She forced herself to cheer up and nodded.

"Okay, Qin Chen... Oh no, Mr. Qin, let's get started."

During the entire interview, Qin Chen answered every question, his tone was polite yet distant, and he would occasionally make harmless jokes. If they didn't know each other, Lin Sui would definitely praise his gentlemanly demeanor, but not only did they know each other, they had also been in love for seven years!

She couldn't stand Qin Chen treating her as a stranger.

She didn't dare to look Qin Chen in the eye the whole time, and finished the entire interview in a daze for the first time. She remembered that she had prepared seriously yesterday, wanting Qin Chen to see her work ability, but after seeing him, she was still defeated. She even wondered if it could end quickly. She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles every second.

Qin Chen's cold attitude hit her like a whip, and she was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe.

As soon as the interview ended, Lin Sui grabbed her bag and ran out of the office. She didn't even take the elevator, but took the stairs, crying as she went down. Finally, she stopped and burst into tears, her sobs echoing throughout the stairwell.

Lin Sui didn't know if this was what the song meant, "It's better to miss someone than to see them."

The two people are so close, yet they feel so far away.

How could this happen?

She sat down on the stairs, no longer caring whether her skirt would get dirty. She lay on her knees and cried as if no one was around.

She remembered that when she and Qin Chen were in love, he almost always obeyed her and never got angry.

And she always has a bad temper.

They were classmates, sitting in the front and back seats. She fell in love with Qin Chen first. Qin Chen was a good student, so she would ask him questions she didn't know every day. He explained them very well. Lin Sui even felt that he explained better than the teacher, and he could often enlighten her with just a few words.

But the only thing that bothered her was that Qin Chen was not understanding. Even though she showed it so obviously, he still didn't realize her feelings.

During a physical education class, she and her female classmates went to the canteen to buy snacks. She also brought Qin Chen a bottle of his favorite Mirinda. When she returned to the classroom, she found that her seat was occupied by another girl, who was asking Qin Chen a question. Qin Chen was explaining the question to the girl in the same gentle tone he usually used to her.

She was so angry that she walked forward and knocked on her desk. Unexpectedly, the girl turned around and saw that it was her. She said, "Wait a minute, we will finish this question soon."

Qin Chen actually joined in and asked her to sit in an empty seat next to him.

Lin Sui suddenly felt an indescribable sense of grievance in her heart. She put the bottle of Mirinda she bought for Qin Chen on Qin Chen's desk with a "bang", and then ran out.

No one came out to chase her.

From then on, she never asked Qin Chen to discuss questions again. If she had questions, she would save them for self-study class, move her seat to sit next to the class monitor, and listen to the class monitor's explanation.

Qin Chen asked her several times what happened, but she shook her head and said in a stiff tone: "It's nothing." After one or two times, Qin Chen didn't bother to do anything.

Just like that, the two of them began to ignore each other.

Until one night, it was Lin Sui's turn to be on duty. It was already past nine o'clock when she finished her duty. As soon as she walked out of the classroom with her schoolbag on her back, she was blocked by Qin Chen.

He pulled her back to the dark classroom and, in the dim light of the corridor, asked her what was wrong.

Lin Sui remembered that her eyes were filled with tears, and she kicked Qin Chen stubbornly, with the words she spoke trembling with a hint of grievance.

She said: "Qin Chen, don't you really understand?"

The boy's eyes trembled as he looked at her, then he hugged her tightly in his arms.

Neither of them confessed their feelings, but they just stayed together and stayed together for seven years.

If she hadn't...

Lin Sui raised her head, moved her numb legs, wiped her tears, and limped down the stairs. It took her a long time to get from the 16th floor to the first floor.

Following the reflective marble, Lin Sui looked at his own disheveled appearance and sighed in his heart. He thought how elegant and graceful he was when he came here a few hours ago!

Lin Sui walked to the bus stop and squeezed onto the evening rush hour bus. By the time she got home, her skirt was wrinkled and her heels were blistered from her new shoes.

She kicked off her high heels, took off her skirt, and threw it casually on the sofa.

After changing into her nightgown, she collapsed on the sofa, staring blankly with an unfocused gaze.

She kept thinking about Qin Chen's every smile and frown towards her today. He was still so handsome, and every strand of his hair still met her aesthetic standards.

She was not blind, she saw Qin Chen's reaction when he first saw her, so she didn't believe that Qin Chen had completely moved on from her.

But she also felt that Qin Chen had changed, he had become cruel, he knew how to make her sad, so he pretended that he had never known her.
