Jian Ai seemed to have heard something funny and couldn’t help but laugh. “I don’t like him anymore!”
“Huh?”
Xia Qinghuan and Guan Tao were both dumbfounded.
Then, Xia Qinghuan sat up straight and looked at Jian Ai with a look of disbelief. “Don’t joke around with us. If you don’t like him, why did you buy such an expensive fountain pen for him? Why did you carve words on the fountain pen? Who would believe you?”
Guan Tao nodded repeatedly as well. “Besides, didn’t you just confess a while ago? It’s only been a few days, yet you already don’t like him?”
The two of them looked at Jian Ai as if they were interrogating her. They didn’t believe Jian Ai. Most importantly, these things had happened recently. Even if one could change or fall in love with another person, it wouldn’t be so soon, right?
However, Jian Ai immediately smiled helplessly at the two of them. Then, her expression changed, and she said seriously, “I’m serious. I don’t like Lin Yi anymore. He’s very good. There’s no problem. It’s my problem!”
“What is your problem?” Xia Qinghuan and Guan Tao asked in unison.
Jian Ai sighed. “I… suddenly feel nothing.”
She could not possibly come up with an excuse and say that she had already lived once and that a twenty-six-year-old soul was now living in her body after her rebirth. That would scare people to death.
Seeing Jian Ai’s sincere attitude, as if she wasn’t joking, Xia Qinghuan and Guan Tao couldn’t help but look at each other. Then, Xia Qinghuan narrowed her eyes at Jian Ai and asked with a vigilant expression, “Are you serious?”
Jian Ai nodded without hesitation.
She admitted that Lin Yi’s strengths were worth being liked. However, things were not the same now. She was no longer fourteen-year-old.
“Alright!” Xia Qinghuan sighed. She thought it was a pity because she instinctively felt that Lin Yi and Jian Ai were a suitable match. Especially since Lin Yi’s attitude towards Jian Ai had changed drastically recently. She always felt that the two of them stood a chance.
However, they had missed each other.
“That’s good too. Otherwise, there would be Li Yunmei in front and Jian Yiyi at the back. They would eat you alive,” Xia Qinghuan said. She was looking for an excuse to comfort her suddenly disappointed heart.
Guan Tao also exhaled deeply. She had the opposite opinion from Xia Qinghuan. She hoped that Jian Ai would forget about Lin Yi and remain as friends from now on.
To put it bluntly, Lin Yi was too perfect. He had as many admirers as there were willows in the sky. She was afraid that Jian Ai would suffer because of this.
Moreover, Lin Yi had already rejected Jian Ai once.
“Okay, don’t worry. I’m really fine!” Jian Ai raised her hands in surrender.
At this time, in the innermost guest room on the fourth floor, Lin Yi was half-leaning on the bed, playing with the fountain pen Jian Ai had given him lovingly.
Lin Yi felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at his name engraved on the pen. Jian Ai’s profile appeared in his mind.
Lin Yi felt a bit regretful. Why didn’t he notice Jian Ai’s difference sooner? He had rejected her. He was simply stupid.
At this moment, Lin Yi seemed to have finally seen his heart. His feelings for Jian Ai had changed unknowingly. Although it had only been less than two weeks, the change was so huge that he had nowhere to hide.
He admitted he had fallen for Jian Ai.
“Lin Yi, let’s go to the restaurant for our meal!”
Yan Tian’s voice suddenly sounded outside the door. Lin Yi immediately came back to his senses and quickly stuffed the fountain pen in his hand under the pillow.
