Hearing this answer, as consistent as ever, Ji Yao couldn't help but feel a crack opened in her calm heart.
He was always so attentive to her, without expecting anything in return.
What a pity, if only the past had not happened, how wonderful that would have been.
Whenever she felt a moment of wavering, the loss would pull her back to the past, tormenting her between then and now, leaving her uncertain of her own feelings.
All in all, Ji Yao's heart was a mix of many emotions, and she did not know how to view Lu Jincheng.
Lu Jincheng seemed not to notice the change in her emotions, or he didn't mind it.
He personally peeled a caramelized chestnut for her, his somewhat darkened hand gently extending towards her.
"Here, give it a try. I could smell this place from far away and thought I should bring some back for you no matter what. Have a taste."
The fragrant, piping hot chestnut was already at her lips.
