Chapter 1391: So You Still Like Him (6)

“Aren’t you… having a late-night snack? I brought some milk tea back today.”

Xiao Rou said somewhat bashfully, though it wasn’t her first time inviting Zhou Qi up, such things still felt a bit ambiguous, especially after she discovered she liked this person in front of her.

“No, I’m a bit tired today, you should rest early too.”

“Oh.”

Xiao Rou responded, wondering if it was just her imagination; she felt she could clearly sense the distance in Zhou Qi’s tone.

No matter how gentle he remained, without any discomforting qualities.

But Xiao Rou still felt the distance.

“Go up quickly, good night.”

Zhou Qi said again, Xiao Rou nodded, turned around, and went inside.

Entering the elevator, Xiao Rou let her hand holding the bag drop down.

She didn’t know why Zhou Qi suddenly became distant; it shouldn’t be like this.

He won the match tonight, he can’t be unhappy, is it because of her?

How did she make him unhappy tonight?

Xiao Rou felt a bit bewildered; she really didn’t know.

But come to think of it, Zhou Qi didn’t seem unhappy, just a kind of detachment, very indifferent detachment.

He hid it well, but Xiao Rou still felt it.

A girl in the throes of a crush is always prone to overthinking, especially someone as sensitive as Xiao Rou.

When the elevator arrived at her apartment floor, Xiao Rou already had a guess that made her feel panicked.

Could it be that her little thoughts were noticed by Zhou Qi?

He’s so smart, he must have noticed.

He doesn’t want to make her embarrassed, after all, she’s his favorite sister’s good friend, he doesn’t want everyone to become awkward because of it, so he unilaterally shows a distant attitude, hoping she’ll retreat in recognition?

Is that what it means?

Xiao Rou’s heart sank with a thud.

She opened the door and entered the house, not even changing her shoes, sitting despondently on the couch, sat for a long time, then suddenly smiled.

Zhou Qi’s detachment was like a basin of cold water extinguishing the heart she had recently stirred, Xiao Rou found herself surprisingly brave.

She actually fell for Zhou Qi, even fantasized about him responding a little.

Who is he.

Zhou Qi, the future president of Zhou Real Estate Group.

What world would such a person share with her?

How could such a person fall for a girl like her who is so unremarkable?

Choosing her over a famous heiress? A Cinderella?

Xiao Rou tapped her face, had she been reading too many novels?

He’s nice to her, helping her out in various ways, simply because he spoils his sister, yet she really took that kindness as meant for herself.

Xiao Rou gave a bitter smile, got up to change shoes, put away her bag, and went into the bathroom.

It’s nice, a love that moved her for the first time in life, hasn’t even started yet, and it’s already over.

On the other side, Zhou Qi returned to the team, just entering, he heard a “bang,” someone hit him with a confetti cannon: “Congratulations, Brother Qi.”

Someone said, beaming, Zhou Qi frowned and glanced at him, his gaze swept around, everyone wore an expression of “I want to hear the gossip.”

Zhou Qi felt a bit annoyed, but he wouldn’t vent his frustrations on his teammates, they had won today, it was a good day.

“It’s getting late, sleep early, we have training tomorrow.”

Zhou Qi finished speaking, and had already gone upstairs by himself.
