"You don’t need to feel obligated to me, or let it burden you. Let’s just go with the flow, and I’m confident that in the end, you’ll still fall in love with me."
After all, in this world, the only person who truly walked into his heart was her.
If they could have such deep love back then, they surely would in the future.
She absolutely didn’t believe that the feelings between them would end just like that...
Rong Shaoze lifted his gaze to look at her, curving his lips into a faint smile, "I’m relieved to hear you say that. From now on, let’s just go with the flow."
"Alright," Lin Xinlan smiled slightly.
The heavy, sorrowful atmosphere between them seemed to lighten quite a bit.
Lin Xinlan bitterly smiled inside, realizing that sometimes letting go appropriately is the best choice.
Now that she wasn’t pressing him and was willing to take a step back, it not only gave him ease but also spared her from a lot of anxiety and fear.
But deep down, she still had some fear, fearing that in the end, his choice would not be her.
Ever since Lin Xinlan started to let go a bit, her interactions with Rong Shaoze were no longer awkward and oppressive, but rather relaxed and natural.
She figured it out, regardless of how Rong Shaoze perceived or felt about her.
She would do whatever she wanted, without considering too much.
Having gone through many things, she grasped a truth.
If one is deeply trapped in a pit, they can only save themselves.
If you can’t save yourself, then who else can you hope to save you?
So when she was unhappy, she’d let go of some things to make herself happy.
On days with nothing to do, Lin Xinlan became obsessed with shopping.
Which woman doesn’t love beauty and buying pretty clothes?
She was also a woman, naturally she loved wearing nice clothes and dressing up.
Recently, Apple launched a new phone, Lin Xinlan arrived at the bustling shopping street, saw the new product displayed in the specialty store.
On a whim, she bought a white one, and even got a very cute pink phone case.
After installing the SIM card, she familiarized herself with some functions, then took a photo and sent it to Rong Shaoze.
Not caring how he thought about her or whether he liked it, anyway, she just wanted to send it to him.
Soon, Rong Shaoze sent a message back.
She replied with just one word, no extra conversation.
Rong Shaoze didn’t send any more messages either.
B City has many shopping streets, but Lin Xinlan’s favorite was the one in Nancheng.
Not only because it was close to where she lived but it also had a variety of goods. Most importantly, there was a chain store selling authentic sour and spicy noodles.
She loved eating those spicy and sour things.
Every time she ate them, she felt an intense satisfaction.
Lin Xinlan bought a bowl of sour and spicy noodles, sat in the small shop, eating with the other customers, slurping away.
She was so spicy that her mouth turned bright red.
After a sip of ice water, she suddenly had an idea, took out her phone to take a funny photo of herself eating, and sent it to Rong Shaoze.
He quickly replied with a message.
[Don’t eat too much spicy, and drink less ice water.]
Lin Xinlan’s lips curved into a smile, her eyes sparkling with happiness.
Even if he didn’t love her or had forgotten her, he still cared about her, which made her feel comforted.
Thinking of the idea to take pictures and send them to Rong Shaoze.
Lin Xinlan suddenly felt very excited, as if she wasn’t alone shopping, but that Rong Shaoze was accompanying her.
