Chapter 1007 - Unfamiliarity (2/2)
Frozen like a statue, An Feng found herself unable to move from the string of coincidences. All she could feel was how quick her heart was beating.
Why was she feeling like this? She didn’t know what she was being guilty and nervous about.
Very quickly, the man’s heavy footsteps stopped next to her.
“I’m sorry, please excuse me.” The man’s low and distant voice rang.
An Feng took a deep breath before she looked up at the man who was preparing to pa.s.s by her. She forced out a smile on her pretty face. “What a coincidence.”
Helian Xiao was still wearing his sungla.s.ses, so An Feng couldn’t read his expression very clearly. She didn’t know if he was looking at her either, her smile freezing slightly. “I can change seats with your girlfriend.” With that said, she got up.
The woman was sitting in the same row as An Feng, however, they were separated with an aisle between them. When she heard An Feng’s words, the woman hurriedly shook her head. “It’s alright. It’s only a few hours anyway. I don’t want to sit with him! When we left the café earlier, he said that I gave my contact to a man who approached me and he’s still angry at me! So petty!”
An Feng glanced at Helian Xiao’s dark expression. He had pursed his lips slightly, looking like he was indeed slightly unhappy.
His feelings really changed very quickly! When he was interested in her, she almost thought that he was really only interested in her.
However, it had only been such a short while, yet he was already caring for another woman!
Indeed, men were all tras.h.!.+
It was a good thing that her Zhizhi had found a man that was only good to her!
Seeing that the woman wasn’t willing to change seats with her, An Feng had nothing else to say. However, it felt really awkward to sit between a couple who had argued.
As An Feng glanced at the man from the corner of her eye, she noticed he had already sat down and pushed his sungla.s.ses to the top of his head. He took out a finance magazine and started to read.
When they left the Capital, she told him to act like strangers.
Indeed, he was doing it very well.
With how cold he was acting, it was as if they had never interacted before.
Did all men have two faces?
Turning away from him, An Feng put on the earphones to listen to some music. She didn’t know if it was because their seats were too close together, but she could smell the faint cigarette smell from him from time to time.
Normally she didn’t like men who smoked, because she couldn’t stand that kind of choking scent, it was nauseating.
However, the cigarette smell on Helian Xiao wasn’t heavy and choking every time she smelt it. It was faint and slightly minty, mixing well with the scent of a mature and healthy man.
At the Capital, when he went to the hospital everyday, she didn’t think it was too much.
However, in the days they had been apart, when he treated her coldly and had become another woman’s man, she finally understood that she started to care for him unconsciously.
Because of what happened back then, she had been unable to forgive him and ignored her feelings for him as a result. If she ignored what had happened back then, her heart would undeniably flutter every time he approached her.
However, she understood it too late now.
He already had a new beginning, with someone else.
…
After the flight took off, the woman sitting on the other side of the aisle chatted with An Feng.
“Hi, I’m Bernice, do you know Xiao?”
An Feng recalled what Helian Xiao had said back in the café, as she replied softly, “I do, but we’re not very well acquainted.”
Bernice pouted. “You both say the same things.” Bernice cupped her cheeks, smiling brightly, “What do you think about him? Isn’t he slightly cold and aloof?”
Aloof?
When An Feng was with him, she only thought that he was a nicely dressed beast that was very good at flirting with girls in private.
In all honesty, An Feng didn’t want to talk too much about Helian Xiao with the woman. Besides, he was sitting beside her, so she only smiled awkwardly. “I’m sorry, I’m not too sure about that.”
