Fog clears from Hong Kong Island

Chapter 260 [if] You clearly said you didn’t like me
On Monday afternoon, we made an appointment to meet at a cafe that Sang Yu used to frequent.

Xi Jinbai arrived at the box half an hour early.

At three o'clock, she still hadn't arrived. I called her, but her phone was turned off.

He knows Sang Yu well and he will never break his promise.

Worried that something might have happened to the little girl, Xi Jinbai called Sang Fengping and learned that she should still be taking a nap at home, which made him feel relieved.

While waiting, he explained the work on the line.

Sang Yu called him back at four o'clock. He had just woken up and his tone was hazy: "I overslept. It was not intentional..."

I forgot to charge my phone, and it automatically turned off after I fell asleep, making the alarm I set useless.

"It's okay." Xi Jinbai didn't rush her, and said gently: "Don't worry, I'll wait for you."

Sang Yu hung up the phone, packed up, changed his clothes and went out.

Arrived at the cafe at 4:40.

We haven't seen each other for a few days. The last time we met, it wasn't pleasant, so the atmosphere was awkward at the moment.

Our eyes met, and my memories were instantly brought back to that night.

The little girl blushed and pretended to be calm, lowering her eyes and not looking at him.

The man in front of me was elegant and dignified, with his shirt buttons buttoned neatly to the top, meticulously. It was hard to connect him with the out-of-control man he was that night; the contrast was too great.

"Drink mango and coconut?" Xi Jinbai broke the silence and his eyes fell on her face, deep and gentle.

Sang Yu sat down holding the phone, his eyes slightly lowered, and said "hmm".

Xi Jinbai picked up the tablet on the table to place the order. Knowing her taste, he decided to order three parts sugar, less ice, and some pudding.

"Anything else?" he asked.

The little girl shook her head and looked out the window quietly, with no intention of speaking.

Knowing that she was still angry, Xi Jinbai apologized to her: "I'm sorry, Yu Yu, that day... I lost control and scared you, and I shouldn't have ignored your explanation."

Sang Yu was silent, his fingertips tightened, and his nails slightly pinched into his palms. Xi Jinbai said bluntly: "I am afraid of losing you."

That's why he lost his composure when he saw her hugging her ex-boyfriend, and was eager to prove that she was his.

Sang Yu's eyes froze, and he turned his head to look at him, "Why?"

Why would he be afraid? This word had nothing to do with him.

"Because I love you, Sang Yu." Xi Jinbai confessed his true feelings, "Two years ago, I was just a step late, and you were with someone else."

At that moment, Sang Yu's brain froze and his thoughts were stuck.

She could understand every word, but she didn't seem to understand the meaning expressed when they were put together.

After hesitating for a moment, he came back to his senses.

"…Wait a minute, you lied to me."

Xi Jinbai locked her eyes, "I didn't lie to you."

"Two years ago, you clearly said you didn't like me." She remembered it clearly.

She had just begun to develop a liking for him, but because of that sentence, her feelings were completely extinguished.

"I have never said such a thing." Xi Jinbai denied it completely.

Sang Yu said confidently: "You did. You told your friends that you would not marry into the Ji family, and you don't like me either."

Xi Jinbai frowned, and as he recalled certain fragments, he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the little girl suddenly distanced herself from him from that day on.

I couldn't find the reason, but today I realized that it was a trick of fate.

"I'm not talking about you, Yu Yu." He explained helplessly, "I'm talking about the Ji family in Su City."

Sang Yu looked at him blankly.

So she misunderstood?

Afraid that she wouldn't believe him, Xi Jinbai explained everything clearly: "The daughter of the Ji family in Sucheng is the daughter of a good friend of my mother. They arranged a marriage for me and Wen Yixi as a joke, but we were not interested in each other, so we never mentioned it again."
