Chapter 2087 Cross-Time Romance 30
He said that before loving others, you must first learn to love yourself.
Love that is so humble as to be in the dust cannot blossom.
The car slowly started moving, and the scenery outside the window began to change. Si Jin didn't speak again, and the secretary didn't ask any more questions.
The car fell silent for a moment.
The little girl slowly tightened her grip on her lap, her thoughts drifting away with the scenery.
A long time ago, her best friend had a crush on a gay man for seven years. That man kept her hanging on and coaxed her, but in the end, he only made her his wife in name only.
He, on the other hand, went out every day, finding all sorts of ways to indulge in debauchery.
Even so, back then, my best friend was genuinely grateful to have married him.
Although things are more open-minded now, Si Jin's family is still the richest in the country, and her elders may not necessarily agree if she is with a man.
She had assumed that Si Jin would accept her suggestion readily, just like that man, but...
He told her, however, that he would not let that happen.
Tell her: Before you can love others, you must first learn to love yourself.
To love others, you must first love yourself.
The words echoed repeatedly in her mind, and after what seemed like an eternity, the secretary's eyes welled up with tears again.
Looking ahead, all that could be seen from the driver's seat was Si Jin's back.
She wiped away her tears, and to avoid making the long journey awkward, she turned her face to the window and tried to start a conversation: "Jay Chou, why are you telling me all this?"
The girl's ears turned slightly red: "After all, not everyone can accept this kind of thing. What if I... what if I have malicious intent towards you?"
"It's okay, it's still better than letting you continue to like me without knowing the truth."
Si Jin gripped the steering wheel with one hand, the dazzling neon lights casting irregular shadows on it, which, accentuated by her wristwatch, added an indescribable charm.
He said, "This circle is simple in some ways and complex in others. In short, you can't have that kind of thinking. There are thousands of men in the world, and you can't hang yourself on one tree."
Perhaps not expecting that the usually meticulous boss could also have such a gentle and approachable side, the secretary smiled unconsciously and continued to ask, "So... do you have a partner?"
"have."
"He likes men too?"
"No, he only likes me."
As they spoke, Si Jin had already made several turns and arrived at the entrance of her secretary's residential compound.
The area is somewhat desolate, and there are two small groves of trees without lights nearby.
Si Jin only found out after asking that the girl was working hard away from home and didn't dare to spend money recklessly.
As autumn approached, the wind outside picked up a bit, so Si Jin took the shopping bag from the passenger seat. When the other person got out of the car, she reached out and handed him a suit jacket: "It's brand new, the tag is still on. It's getting chilly, wear it home, you don't need to return it."
Even though I already know that it's no longer possible for me.
But when a handsome man thoughtfully presented her with a suit, the secretary's ears still involuntarily turned red, and her outstretched hand trembled slightly: "Mr. Jay Chou? Aren't you afraid people will misunderstand?"
Typically, such stories would be spread to the company by a few people, causing a lot of gossip.
Si Jin clicked her tongue, as if she had discovered something, and said anxiously, "It's nothing. Even if we're colleagues, I can't let you go back like this."
"Besides, the clothes are new and I don't have to return them. What kind of image is it to live constantly in the shadow of other people's opinions?"
At the entrance of the residential complex, the cold white light shone down, falling on Si Jin's long, curled eyelashes, making him look even more alluring than a deity descended to earth.
"Thank you." The secretary finally accepted the suit.
Because she lives at the very back of the community, which is a long walk away, she caught a cold and couldn't go to work.
If I don't work, I won't have money to pay rent, I won't have money to keep my cat, I won't have money to support myself, and I won't have money to support my parents.
"Sigh." The helplessness of a corporate slave.
The secretary walked forward, her mind filled with the image of Si Jin giving her the suit, and she suddenly felt envious.
Jay Chou is such a nice guy. Even though she was rejected after confessing her feelings, she wasn't embarrassed or upset. Instead, she felt a sense of relief and ease.
Good-looking, successful, with sound values, attentive, and devoted—ahhh! I'm so envious of Jay Chou's partner.
What kind of person could possibly be worthy of such a wonderful person?
A gust of wind blew in her face, and the secretary adjusted her suit jacket, preparing to quicken her pace, when she noticed something in her suit pocket... a square, hard object.
