396 Leaving Lanlan Is Not An Option
"Woah!"
It was Liu Ji Fan who spoke for the first time and quite loudly. His eyes were wide but filled with amusement. He suddenly picked the glass of drink from the table without even knowing who had drunk from it before. But he didn't care and gulped it down in one go. Then looking toward He Jian, he wiped his fake tears and said dramatically. "My baby has finally grown up."
He Jian's lips twitched while all others except Shi Fegju laughed at Liu Ji Fan's actions. Ignoring Liu Ji Fan's exaggerated reaction, He Jian again looked out of the window. His blue eyes were focused on the girl and boy inside the garden. Both of them now looked happy as they looked at the ring in each other fingers with shy but joyful eyes. The girl's eyes were filled with shyness and love as she looked at the boy. It made He Jian wonder whether Mo Roulan would ever look at him like that. From the current circumstances, it almost seemed impossible. "Then why are you looking so grumpy?"
Liu Ji Faan asked He Jian curiously seeing that the man was still not looking happy at all. He knew that if He Jian had done such a thing then he must be very clear about his feelings now. Otherwise, he would have never done so. And if he was clear about his feelings then should not a man be happy after kissing the girl he likes.
That was what Liu Ji Fan thought. The question made He Jian look inside the room again. His blue eyes looking at Liu Ji Fan were slightly cold. After a few moments of silence, he finally spat out a few words reluctantly and coldly. "She ran away."
The private room again went silent at these words. Liu Ji Fan's eyebrows were raised in surprise and he asked "She ran away after you kissed her...in shyness?"
He Jian shook his head and sighed at the question indicating that things were not like this. But Fang Zhihan and Shen Weisheng had an understanding look on their faces. In the span of a few days, the two friends had made Mo Roulan a few times only but they were able to understand Mo Roulan really might have run away after He Jian had kissed her if only... "She was not aware of your feelings? Jian, was she?"
It was the first time they were seeing He Jian caring about someone else so much. The thing that bothered He Jian most was the lost look in Mo Roulan's eyes with which she had looked at him before she had run away. He didn't know what it was but perhaps he saw himself collapsing down in her eyes. He didn't like it. Every time he remembered that lost look in those tear-filled eyes, he would feel as if someone was tearing down his chest and he would feel suffocating even though he would find himself in such a spacious room. "Tsk...you didn't do right, Jian."
Liu Ji Fan said as he poured the wine into the glass.
"She didn't know about your feelings and you suddenly kissed her. Of course, she would cry and run away. I think you scared the girl."
Liu Ji Fan shook his head regretfully while Fang Zhihan sighed heavily.
The words made He Jian frown deeper and he asked "What can I do now?"
"Perhaps stay away from her."
Shen Weisheng suggested coldly but He Jian glared at him coldly and said.
"That's not even an option."
