Bai Li tried to retrieve his memory, and recounted, "You don't remember me, but you should remember the girl in the white dress at your company's celebration party before. She had injured her foot, and you ran over to give her a pair of sneakers."
"Do you know that I still keep those shoes there? I hope that one day I can meet you again, and we won't just be longing to see each other from afar..."
She went abroad and studied very hard, hoping to catch up with Xiao Jinhan.
She wanted to be the one who was good enough for him.
This was her dream from that moment on: to be the woman behind Xiao Jinhan.
But Xiao Jinhan interrupted her, his voice cold and ruthless: "That's to repay a debt of gratitude to your father."
Bai Li's face was stiff, her blank stare fixed on him, as if many of her fantasies had been shattered at that moment.
Xiao Jinhan showed her no pity, tearing away her illusions word by word: "Since you've been paying attention to me for so long, you should know that I don't like meddling in other people's business. I owe your father a favor, and helping you is repaying that favor. It was your father who asked me to do this."
Bai Li was present at the celebration banquet, but he didn't know her.
It was her father who took the initiative to ask Xiao Jinhan to take good care of his daughter.
But he was unaware that Bai Li harbored such fantasies about him.
The infatuation I saw in her eyes.
Bai Li felt a mix of emotions, and her heart ached unbearably. She had clung to the fantasy that their next meeting wouldn't be as awkward and cold as it was today.
It deviated from her expectations.
She clearly felt Xiao Jinhan still holding her hand, and then smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay if you don't remember, but it's enough that you remember me today. We can spend more time together in the future, and you will feel my kindness."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinhan's eyes turned extremely cold, and he could no longer tolerate even the slightest bit of his patience: "Miss Bai, please have some self-respect."
Bai Li felt a tightness in her chest, and tears almost welled up in her eyes, but she felt that crying would look ugly, so she forced them back.
She didn't want to give up; this was fate that God had given her.
Bai Li's face was pale and haggard from her injuries, but her eyes burned with intensity: "I..."
"Do you even know that it was my Xiaoli who saved you? How could you say such heartless things!"
Zhao Yunyan overheard their conversation from outside the door.
The words that came out of Xiao Jinhan's mouth were nothing like the beautiful words Bai Li had made.
This is entirely wishful thinking on Bai Li's part.
Zhao Yunyan, furious and indignant, defended her best friend: "My Xiaoli is still injured. She burned her entire back to save you. The doctor said she has to undergo skin grafting surgery. She has never suffered such a great injustice in her life."
Bai Li tugged at Zhao Yunyan's arm: "Stop talking. This is all my own choice, it has nothing to do with him."
"How can it be nothing? You were seriously injured." Zhao Yunyan felt that women who would give their lives for him were rare, and he shouldn't let them down.
Xiao Jinhan frowned, his expression unchanged: "Miss Bai, thank you for saving me, but I have someone in my heart. I am grateful that you saved me, but that doesn't mean I will like you, understand?"
He has someone in his heart...
These words echoed in Bai Li's ears countless times, and a knife plunged straight into her heart.
Bai Li was in a daze, while Zhao Yunyan said, "So what if you have someone in your heart? I, Xiao Li, am so beautiful. Am I not as good as your sweetheart? Xiao Li almost died for you. You should marry her and repay her kindness."
This is clearly asking the impossible.
If saving him means taking responsibility, then it's better not to save him at all.
