Chapter 1066: Chapter 1076: Tit for Tat (Part 6)
Many people who eat fish know that the at in the fish’s belly is the most tender.
Situ Xuan thought Jian Anning would pick a piece of fish at for Yu Zexiao with her chopsticks.
Unexpectedly, Jian Anning just smiled and said, “William, help yourself.”
After that, the chopsticks turned toward the fish head — and then, a fish eye was placed into Yu Zexiao’s bowl!
Situ Xuan was montarily stunned! He just watched as Jian Anning gave the fish eye to him. It wasn’t a big deal, since he didn’t like eating fish eyes either.
But the problem was — even such a small action could reflect her deep affection for him!
At that mont, he hesitated a little!
He didn’t understand if he would ever have a day where his persistence would succeed in winning her over!
Having lived in the United States since childhood, where things were open, many people already had boyfriends or girlfriends in high school. He previously thought Jian Anning and Yu Zexiao were secretly dating, and he had no psychological barriers to competing for Yu Zexiao’s woman. Unlike Yu Zexiao, he didn’t think a woman’s “purity” was such an important thing.
Therefore, even though he felt humiliated and angry when Yu Zexiao called him this morning, he wasn’t that upset.
Because he always thought that having her in the end was what mattered most. As long as she was with him in the end, any effort was worth it!
However, when he realized these two had reached such a deep connection where just a glance communicated everything, could his efforts still be effective?
Indeed, the tacit understanding between Jian Anning and Yu Zexiao in daily life was not cultivated in a short period of dating but was developed during the half-year she worked as his assistant before this.
But Situ Xuan didn’t know that. He only believed— that between the two of them, there was a profound, extraordinary, inseparable deep affection!
Could he break such feelings apart? Did he still have a chance?
The only thing he could feel was— when he saw Jian Anning support Yu Zexiao’s music path without hesitation, and when he saw her amicably serve him a fish eye, his eyes turned red with jealousy!
Precisely because he never experienced deep affection between parents at ho, he showed a disdainful attitude towards love on the surface, but deep inside, he was incredibly envious!
This kind of deep affection was entirely free from any manipulation of fa or power, purely simple liking and love — sothing he has yearned for his whole life!
Thinking of this, Situ Xuan’s hand holding the chopsticks involuntarily clenched. He lowered his head, and the whole person seed sowhat unable to conceal his disappointnt and— regret!
After lunch, Situ Xuan didn’t linger much in the afternoon, just made an excuse that he had sothing to do and left Yu Zexiao’s villa.
While leaving, Yu Zexiao, as if wanting to make a lasting impression, stood specially at the door to “see him off.”
Situ Xuan only saw him and Jian Anning standing side by side at the door, waving at him with a smile of success imminent on their faces. Jian Anning, unaware of the secret competition between him and Yu Zexiao, waved goodbye naturally, “William, have a good journey.”
It was precisely this extrely natural attitude that pierced his heart!
Because it showed— in her heart, he was nothing more than a friend!
