Chapter 62: Revealing the truth

"Why did we run away?" Xianwu inquired, the worry evident in his voice as they walked along a secluded path with only a handful of distant figures in sight.

Jia Li sighed, her expression conflicted. "I didn't want to hurt Jin Fengming," she admitted. "I didn't choose him, and if he saw me here with you, he might feel disheartened."

Xianwu considered her words carefully before posing another question, "So, do you plan to avoid him forever?"

A determined look crossed Jia Li's face as she replied, "No. I didn't want him to notice us today," she added, her eyes reflecting her unwavering resolve.

Xianwu knitted his brows together. "You don't need to feel upset for not choosing him. Also, he has to see us frequently together. Our equation matched, that's why you chose me instead of him," he opined.
