Scheming, devoted puppy x cool, unflappable girl
Xun Jin saw Chen Jiu again because of a sudden downpour.
At the quiet entrance to the stairwell, something was scraping noisily across the floor. Annoyed, Xun Jin opened the door. Chen Jiu was standing there, glaring at her scuffed suitcase in frustration.
Their eyes met. The instant Xun Jin recognized her, her heart gave a quick, sudden beat. But judging by Chen Jiu’s reaction, she didn’t seem to recognize him. Then Chen Jiu leaned lazily against the door and scoffed, “Could you keep it down in a shared space?”
Already irritated, Xun Jin frowned at that and shot back, “What’s it to you?”
When they met again, Chen Jiu’s brows drew together slightly, her gaze cool as she looked at him as if he were just an ordinary person. “Do you think I can’t live without you, or that I’ll come running back to you as soon as you beckon?”
The cold air stretched on, wearing at them both. Time stood still for a long while. Xun Jin raised her eyes, the corners reddening. In a low voice, she said to Chen Jiu with utter seriousness, “I’m the one who can’t live without you.”
