If it’s just a simple friendship between them, he doesn’t quite believe it.

Guest Room

“Go inside to dry your hair first. When your clothes arrive later, I’ll bring them to you.” Bai Jue saw her cheeks were pale from the cold and spoke softly.

“Okay.” Wrapped in a towel, Zhan Mingyan made her way into the bathroom leaving wet footprints behind.

Bai Jue instinctively put his hand in his pocket and felt his phone, suddenly realizing something.

Damn.

He’d forgotten to take his phone out. Now, he had to get a new one.

He took out his phone, extracted the SIM card, and casually tossed the phone into the trash can.

“Knock knock knock!”

“Mr. Bai, your clothes have arrived.”

Bai Jue walked over, opened the door, and saw Bern standing at the door with two bags of clothes.

“Here you go.”

Bai Jue reached out to grab them, thanking him.

Just as he was about to shut the door, Bern stopped him.

Bai Jue raised an eyebrow, “What?”

“Can you give me a clue if she is really not your girlfriend?” Bern asked curiously.

“I’ve told you, she’s not.”

“Can you introduce me to her then?”

Bai Jue laughed and scolded, “Get lost. You playboy, go find someone else. Don’t bother my friend.”

“Mr. Bai, you just lost your temper for a beautiful lady, that doesn’t look like something ordinary friends would do. You dived into the pool to find a bracelet for someone you’re not interested in, that’s not your style, Mr. Bai.” Bern playfully teased, patting his chest.

If it were any of his past female companions, he would’ve just had someone help find it. But this time, he actually jumped in to find the bracelet himself. That was unusual.

“Screw off, believe it or not.” Bai Jue snorted, pushing him out and closing the door.

He carried the two bags back and looked at the clothes. He put down his bag and took the other to the bathroom entrance.

He knocked on the door, “Zhan Mingyan, your clothes have arrived.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the bathroom door cracked open a bit, and Zhan Mingyan reached out her hand, Bai Jue directly handed her the bag.

“Thank you.”

After expressing her gratitude, she closed the door.

Bai Jue glanced at the tightly closed bathroom door and shook his head.

After a while, Zhan Mingyan came out of the bathroom. Bai Jue had already changed his clothes and was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.

“Are you done changing?” On hearing the noise, Bai Jue looked up and saw her in jeans and a t-shirt.

Zhan Mingyan nodded. As she raised her eyes, she realized that she and he were wearing similar outfits again.

“Let’s go.”

Bai Jue picked up his car keys and said.

Zhan Mingyan gave a hum of agreement and quickly followed him.

After saying goodbye to Bern, Bai Jue took Zhan Mingyan and left.

On the way, Bai Jue did not speed. The car moved at a steady pace.

“Bai Jue, thank you for earlier.” Zhan Mingyan lowered her head and said softly.

On hearing this, Bai Jue smirked. “Why thank me? Saying thank you all the time makes a friendship dull. Besides, it was me who took you there. You wouldn’t have fallen into the pool otherwise.”

Friends?

Can she and him only be friends?

Zhan Mingyan gave a bitter smile.

After that, they traveled in silence until they reached the hotel.

Zhan Mingyan got out of the car and gave her helmet back to Bai Jue.

“Go back and rest early, I’m leaving now.” Bai Jue said.

Zhan Mingyan bit her lip slightly, “Are you going back now?”

“Looking for someone.” Bai Jue carelessly replied as he put away his helmet and gripped both handles.

At this time, Black Jack and Jian Luo should still be awake. Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well go annoy them.

She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately could not resist asking, “A woman?”

“What?” Bai Jue thought he had heard wrongly and looked at her in surprise.

Zhan Mingyan gathered her courage, looked him in the eyes and asked louder, “Are you going to find a woman now?”

“Zhan Mingyan, you..” Bai Jue was surprised.

Zhan Mingyan interrupted him, saying, “Bai Jue, answer me first. Are you going to find a woman now?”

If yes, she would give up completely.

If not, she would choose to try once more, even if the result may still end in rejection.

Bai Jue’s grip on the handlebars tightened. He stared at her intently, and asked, “Does it matter if it is a man or woman?”

“At least to me, it does.” She said, word by word.

Bai Jue, “Why?”

“You answer my question first.”

After a moment of contemplation, he said, “Man.”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Mingyan felt a sense of relief. Her eyes brightened significantly as she looked at him.

“Bai Jue, what I said to you that day by the sea was serious. I wasn’t joking with you.”

Bai Jue was stunned.

What she said by the seaside?

He recalled, his pupils constricted as her crisp voice echoed in his ears.

She said – Bai Jue, I like you.

He remembers her saying it twice, and later she said that she was just joking with him.

Now she claims she wasn’t joking. She was serious.

She… likes him?

“Bai Jue, I fell for you on Solak Island, and I still feel the same way now.” Zhan Mingyan looked at him with bright eyes, and blurted out, “I tried to forget you, but I can’t. As soon as you appear, my eyes always fall on you. I’ve never liked someone this much in my whole life, except you, Bai Jue!”

Her clear voice firmly confessed her feelings for him.

Falling in love only took a moment; forgetting someone took her a long time and she still couldn’t do it.

Bai Jue looked at her, his calm gaze disturbed by her heartfelt confession.

He tried to smile but found that he couldn’t, “Zhan Mingyan, are you still joking with me?”

Zhan Mingyan stared at him, took a deep breath, suddenly leaned in, put her arms around his neck, and kissed his lips.

Her soft lips touched his. As he watched her face up close, Bai Jue saw his grip on the handlebars tighten.

The shy kiss was quick.

Zhan Mingyan let go and stepped back.

Her cheeks slightly flushed, she stubbornly stared at him, “Bai Jue, do you still think I’m joking?”

Bai Jue looked at her with a complex gaze and fell silent.

“Bai Jue, can you tell me your answer now?” she asked.

In this distant country, she had still found him. She considered it a chance given by fate.

If it still didn’t work out this time, she would accept it.

Bai Jue’s gaze flickered and he let out a soft, “I’m sorry.”
