บท 465: Technological Gap

The next day at the canteen, Luo Yuan and Chen Xinjie sat across each other in absolute silence. They had not seen each other for quite some time; she seemed to have lost weight. He could see pain plastered across her face, the cheerfulness was no longer there.

"I’m so sorry…" Luo Yuan broke the silence after a while.

He did not know that her mother had passed away a few days ago. It was too sudden, and he was lost for words. If he had visited her earlier and treated her mother, this would not have happened!

"You don’t have to feel sorry, I knew this was coming; it was destined!" Chen Xinjie said softly, as she looked away. Her eyes were red.

There was a pin-drop silence between them again!

It was lunch hour, where many people were walking in and out of the City Hall’s canteen. Most of the seats were taken but the seats near them were empty. Nobody dared to come close.
