So much had happened in the past year; treating each other as strangers felt too harsh. 'It would be better to just be friends,' Qin Jiao thought. 'If one of us needs help, we can lend a hand if possible. If not, so be it. That seems like a good arrangement.'
But Shen Yi didn't think that was a good arrangement at all!
He said, flustered, "Jiao Jiao, don't be so quick to decide. The truth is, there was a lot we didn't see clearly in our past life. You don't believe me when I say I like you, so let time prove everything, okay?"
Qin Jiao lifted her eyes to look at him.
Shen Yi said seriously, "Besides, your goal right now is to give your family a better life. So you probably aren't thinking about something as serious as marriage in the near future, are you?"
He could accept Qin Jiao turning him down for now, but he hoped she wouldn't start dating anyone else anytime soon.
That was his main goal right now.
