717 I Donst Want To Avail Myself To His Disappointmen (1/2)

Yuan Tianxing took a deep breath. He was no longer a boy. He always knew that he was only a friend and a brother to Lin Qiao. Now, he had finally let out the secret that was buried in his heart for years. She rejected him straightforwardly, and he had foreseen that result. He had prepared himself for that.

He was still very sad though. The two zombies who interrupted his conversation with Lin Qiao made him want to both laugh and cry. As they left, his sadness was suddenly eased a little bit, and of course, the slight expectation that he had before faded as well.

Sensing the warmth from his eye sockets, Yuan Tianxing felt embarrassed.

'Eh? Did I cry? I didn't even feel it! This is so embarrassing!'

”Eh-hem,” Yuan Tianxing slightly turned his head and coughed awkwardly. Then, he turned back and looked at Lin Qiao, ”I'm sorry to make you feel troubled. You're right. If I don't give up, I'd be trapped in my feelings toward you. Please allow me some time…”

Lin Qiao sighed. She made a step forward and patted him on the shoulder, then turned and headed toward the stairs. She was a little delighted actually, because her rejection didn't seem to hit the man strongly. He must have foreseen the result and prepared himself for it long ago.

He was over thirty years old. For many things, he was able to think positively.

Yuan Tianxing watched Lin Qiao's back blur in the darkness, then disappear into the stairs. Her figure was both familiar and strange to him. As she left, he gave a long sigh, then raised his head to look at the sky. The sky was occupied by the dullish darkness. After the apocalypse, the sky was always like that at night.

The cold wind blew across him from time to time, helping him to calm down slowly.

Lin Qiao went downstairs and gave a long sigh of relief. She had said no to Yuan Tianxing, but couldn't manage to ask him to pay some attention to Lin Wenwen. Lin Wenwen was a poor girl, but she still had a chance.

Thankfully, Yuan Tianxing came to her to tell her about his feelings. If he didn't do that, she would have no idea how to reject him and make him give up. He would never notice any other girl unless he gave up on her.

Lin Qiao wanted to help her little sister. So, in fact, she was already waiting for Yuan Tianxing to talk to her before he made the decision.

She went to the kitchen, picked a plate, and washed some strawberries. After that, she put some sweet potatoes on another plate and then went back to Mrs. Lin's room.

”What took you so long? Where did you get the food from?” Cheng Wangxue looked at her and asked.

”Oh, there was another thing that I had to do,” Lin Qiao put the plate on a tea table.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Lin Wenwen glanced at her, wanting to say something, but she didn't. Earlier on when Lin Qiao left the room, she saw Yuan flash across on the outside.

”You saw him?” Lin Qiao looked at her and said. Lin Wenwen paused briefly, then dropped her eyes and nodded.

All the others turned to her immediately.

”Did he talk to you? Did Tianxing…” Lin Wenwen looked at the cards in her hands and asked in low spirits. The others instantly wore a knowing face, then turned their eyes away. They turned to Lin Qiao, asking her the same question with their eyes.

Lin Qiao gave them a glance, then sat on the couch near the tea table as she picked up a strawberry and made a bite. Only after that did she look at the others and said, ”Yes, I rejected him.”
