"Jiang Yao, I'm not hungry right now, is it okay if you be by yourself? I need to be alone," Lu Yuqing said as tears flowed down her cheeks.
"I'm okay, but are you sure you don't need me to keep you company?" Jiang Yao was genuinely worried. It would be devastating for those involved when it came to the realization of such matters, especially for Lu Yuqing, who was always so ambitious and committed.
Lu Yuqing shook her head with her downcast eyes. Jiang Yao bit her lip and didn't say anything. Since Lu Yuqing wanted to be alone, it wouldn't be any help to be with her either.
After Lu Yuqing left, Jiang Yao stayed back to have a cup of coffee before leaving. She bought some food and groceries in the county, then took the bus and returned to her house.
Her parents were caught by surprise when she suddenly came home. They hurriedly rushed to her and helped her unload the bags in her hands.
