Chapter 77: Mustering the Courage to Confess



Jian Xiu was still in the tea room, but with an extra book in his hand.

He was wearing glasses, his eyes were focused, his head was slightly lowered, but his jaw was still clearly defined.

Fang Jianjin was instantly attracted by him, and felt her heart beating rapidly.

The golden retriever's tail swung, and Jian Xiu looked up, closed the book, and asked her, "Do you want to drink tea or watch TV?"

"Have some tea."

The TV isn't as good as you.

Fang Jianjin thought secretly in his heart.

Then she returned to her seat, her eyes fixed on him.

"Doctor Jane, I..." She mustered up the courage to speak.

Jian Xiu was holding a kettle and turned his head to look at her when he heard that.

Being looked at by him, Fang Jianjin's mind went blank and her courage vanished.

"I think the spider plant in your house is quite pretty." The words of confession took a turn on their lips.

"Really? My cousin gave it to me. She said the house would look more lively with some green plants." Jian Xiu replied with a slight smile.

When he smiled, Fang Jianjin felt as if her soul was about to be taken away.

She seriously suspected that she liked Jian Xiu probably because she was attracted to his good looks.

Could it be that this kind of liking is not true love? Is it just a temporary delusion?

For a moment, she hesitated again.

But……

My heart is beating so fast.

"Doctor Jian," she mustered up her courage again, then looked at him with burning eyes and asked boldly, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Jian Xiu seemed not to have expected her to suddenly ask such a question and was slightly stunned.

After a long while, he adjusted his glasses and replied, "No, Ji Mi is not my girlfriend, nor my ex-girlfriend."

This time it was Fang Jianjin's turn to be stunned.

She only asked one question, but he gave two answers.

But these two answers made her inexplicably happy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Since you don't have a girlfriend, Dr. Jane, what do you think about us—"

"I'm sorry for asking you to be my shield to reject Ji Mi. I'm sorry if this has caused you any trouble. Ji Mi and I have no relationship. We are just ordinary classmates. If she contacts you again in the future, please call me directly."

Jian Xiu's few words revealed his relationship with Ji Mi, but also interrupted what Fang Jianjin had finally mustered up the courage to say.

Fang Jianjin even had a vague feeling in her heart that Jian Xiu knew what she wanted to say and he was interrupting her on purpose.

Just to avoid embarrassment for both parties, he gave both sides a way out.

Even... Fang Jianjin felt that his "I'm sorry" was more like an apology for "not being able to accept her feelings."

She felt a little lost for a moment.

She has always been a timid person, so it is naturally impossible for her to muster up the courage to move forward under such circumstances.

"Oh... I understand. What she actually said was that we just met at work." Fang Jianjin replied, but the light in his eyes dimmed little by little.

This time, she was completely obedient and focused on drinking tea.

However, the tea still tasted bland.

It seems that what dad said is right. The most important thing about drinking tea is the state of mind. Her current state of mind is probably only suitable for drinking Erguotou.

Thinking of this, my stomach suddenly ached for no apparent reason.

Fang Jianjin didn't understand what happened to him today?

First, Mu Wanning hit his head, and now his stomach joined in the fun, determined not to let him feel comfortable.

After finishing the tea in her hand, she immediately took out her cell phone to check the time. Although it was still a long time before eleven o'clock, she felt that she could not stay even a second longer.

"Well, Dr. Jane, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to deal with, so I'll leave first. Thank you for your hospitality today, the tea is delicious." After saying that, she stood up and said goodbye to him.

Jian Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and then he replied, "Okay."

When Fang Jianjin saw his appearance, she became even more certain that he actually knew something, and she wanted to escape from here even more.

"Let me take you out." Jian Xiu said.

"It's okay, no need to be so polite." Fang Jianjin replied, then turned and walked into the study.

Although Fang Jianjin said no, Jian Xiu still pushed the wheelchair out and followed her all the way to the door.

After Fang Jianjin changed her shoes, she rubbed Qiezi's head, said goodbye to Jian Xiu again, and then left.

"Goodbye." Jian Xiu said, watching her get on the elevator.

Only after she entered the elevator did he lower his eyelashes, touch Eggplant's head, and whispered, "Eggplant, am I... too much of a jerk?"

The golden retriever immediately raised its head and licked his hand. This time, Jian Xiu didn't know what he was thinking and forgot to avoid it.
