There were indeed several shopping malls nearby, but Chi Xingyao just wanted to go home quickly and shook her head quickly.
"Then wait a moment." Xue Huaizhi did not force it.
The night was filled with deep silence, and the dust flickered under the light of the street lamps.
Chi Xingyao wanted to play with her phone but didn't feel comfortable, so she could only lower her head and pick at her fingers, playing Go in her mind, and silently praying that the car would come soon.
After an unknown amount of time, just when Chi Xingyao had gotten used to the silence, the young man beside her slowly spoke:
"fine."
There was a subtle bitterness in the slow tone.
Chi Xingyao raised her head blankly, and the other party was also looking at her with his eyes lowered.
Every word was extremely clear.
He said:
"He's definitely better than me."
At that moment, Chi Xingyao suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.
Listen to this...
How should I put it? It doesn't sound like something that would come out of Xue Huaizhi's mouth.
The car arrived a few minutes early, and the driver yawned and asked Chi Xingyao: "Miss Chi, are you going back to the old house with our young master or where else?"
"Back to my own apartment."
"Okay."
The driver dropped her off and knew where her apartment was. He answered and drove there.
The silence in the car was eerie.
Chi Xingyao turned her head to look at Xue Huaizhi, who had been silent the whole time.
On weekend nights, he also wore a very formal black shirt and tie.
The young man turned his head and looked at the lights outside the car window. He had a high nose bridge and his thin lips were pursed into a gentle arc.
It is rare to see him without a smile. He seems to be detached from the world, distant and cold.
The sounds around seemed to dim.
Chi Xingyao felt that she should say something, but she didn't know what to say.
She scratched the end of her brow, feeling itchy and embarrassed.
But I still wanted to explain what happened just now: "That was just your brother joking. I guess he was quite shocked. The man is indeed quite different from the photo..."
"Actually, you don't have to tell me." Xue Huaizhi finally turned his head to look at her, his tone gentle, "I should be the one feeling sorry."
"Last time, we discussed our future together and decided to remain friends. I crossed the line of friendship and said something that embarrassed you. I want to apologize to you."
He actually said sorry quite seriously.
Chi Xingyao said it’s okay.
After saying that, I felt so embarrassed that I wanted to just turn around and turn away.
This is just a conversation between elementary school students!
After arriving at the place, Xue Huaizhi got out of the car and took her upstairs.
As the elevator went up, Chi Xingyao looked at his reflection and asked tentatively, "...Are you still going to work tomorrow?"
"On a business trip." Xue Huaizhi also looked at her through the reflection. "Tomorrow afternoon, I will take a car to South City to attend the charity dinner hosted by Empoli and take care of the branch's affairs. It will take about three days."
"oh."
Just like reporting work.
Chi Xingyao said, "Okay."
She saw that her eyebrows were drooping, which looked a little ugly.
The elevator stopped and she walked out reluctantly, but she felt a little unwilling and looked back at him.
Xue Huaizhi looked a little stunned. The elevator door closed in an instant and was pushed open again.
He walked out slowly.
