Li Caiyi sat up in place. Disbelief was written on her face as she looked down at Dai Zhiqiang. "This joke is not funny."
"I'm not joking." He replied calmly before picking himself up too. "I just started to think we should stop wasting our time waiting for each other."
"Wasting…our time?"
Li Caiyi's heart felt constricted uncomfortably hearing those words. "For you, is everything we have done so far just a waste of time?"
There was no ripple in his expression as if he was talking to a stranger. Li Caiyi felt a strong sense of unfamiliarity with the person before her.
"What happened to you? The Zhiqiang I know won't say something like that."
"Nothing particularly big happened to me. I just slept and woke up, feeling we shouldn't meet anymore. I can't move freely with you by my side."
Li Caiyi let out a self-deprecating laugh. "I've become a big burden to you, is that what you are trying to say?"
