It will never happen.

But just because it didn't happen doesn't mean she won't be sad or heartbroken.

Jincao took the tea and sat down: "Mingyue, please sit down too. I want to talk to you."

"Please sit down. I'll apply some medicine to you first. Your injuries are all visible. You can't go out with a swollen face tomorrow. Even if you apply medicine, it will probably be blue for several days."

As Mingyue spoke, she took out the treatment kit she almost always carried with her. She took out a cotton ball and gently applied the medicine to Jincao.

"Mingyue, I...I never knew you liked me. If Qingfeng hadn't told me today..."

Jincao felt awkward as he spoke these words. It was as if I hadn't known about this before, so I wasn't to blame. He couldn't continue.

"It's my fault. I fell in love with you, but I didn't express it clearly, so you always treated me as a sister. So my current situation is entirely due to my own failure to control myself. It has nothing to do with you."

Looking at the look in Jincao's eyes, Mingyue felt wronged and heartbroken and wanted to cry, but the smile at the corner of her lips never faded.

"Mingyue..." Jincao felt distressed when he saw Mingyue pretending to be strong.

"Jingcao, I'm really fine. You know I'm not that fragile. This matter is indeed my fault. I never made my feelings clear to you, and then I was sad after you fell in love with someone else. This is my fault.

Mi Xue is a good girl and a business genius. With her by your side, the bank's business will get better and better."

Seeing that Jincao didn't know what to say, Mingyue comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm really fine. It will be fine after this period of time. I believe that I will still be your closest person in the future. This is enough."

Jincao stared at Mingyue in a daze. He came here to enlighten Mingyue, but he started talking incoherently after coming in. In the end, it was Mingyue who comforted him.

Seeing Mingyue packing the first aid kit, Jincao's heart sank. An unspeakable pain and bitterness emerged.

The more generous Mingyue was, the more uncomfortable he felt. With his understanding of her for over a decade, he knew she was very upset, so she didn't even have the courage to face him. She could only pretend to be calm as she packed her medicine box.

At this moment, an idea came to Jincao's mind.

Mi Xue wouldn't be sad without him, because she had never fallen in love with him. But Ming Yue would be very sad without him.

Mingyue has loved him for six years. During these six years, he has just been enjoying her kindness to him, but has never made any emotional investment in her.

He didn't want to see Mingyue sad, so...

"Mingyue." Jincao walked to Mingyue and called softly.

"Hmm?" Mingyue was busy sorting out the medicine box. After it was packed, it was messed up again, and then she had to sort it out again.

The next moment, Mingyue's uncontrollable hands were caught by the strong grass.

Mingyue was startled and the things in her hand fell into the box. The things that had been packed up became messy again.

He struggled a bit, trying to free his restrained hands, but the more he struggled, the tighter Jincao's grip tightened.

"Mingyue, look at me."

After restraining Mingyue's body, she noticed the tears in her eyes. At this moment, she was trying her best to force the tears back.
