CHAPTER 825: CHAPTER 695: LIKING YOU SINCE THE FIRST GLANCE 36

Jian Dan didn’t give Bo Qin a chance to speak, turned around, and directly walked into the bathroom. In this situation, Bo Qin couldn’t possibly follow her, after all, there are differences between men and women.

He sensed a deep distance from Jian Dan, it wasn’t deliberate, but just the way she thought, forming a sort of implication.

He sighed, with a bitter smile. His previous ways were lacking, can he blame Jian Dan now? Naturally, he couldn’t, he didn’t have the face to blame her.

The problem was with himself.

Not only did he fail to take good care of her, but he also didn’t fulfill even a bit of responsibility.

His behavior inherently contradicted what he promised Jian Cheng, which was to take good care of Jian Dan.

Bo Qin went downstairs alone, and Lin Ma exclaimed, "Sir, Little Miss, haven’t gotten ready yet?"

"She said she didn’t want to eat."

Lin Ma frowned with worry, "That’s not good. The Little Miss used to always listen to you, sir. Perhaps you could speak to her; skipping dinner frequently is not good for her stomach."

"She’s been skipping dinner often?"

"Yes." Lin Ma was quite worried, "She was busy with her studies before, I would prepare a late night snack for her, she would eat a couple of bites at least, but in the past couple of months, she’s almost not eaten dinner at all, let alone a late night snack."

Bo Qin kept a steady gaze, "Lin Ma, please prepare dinner and bring it over, I’ll wait to eat with her."

"Oh, okay."

Lin Ma quickly added two dishes. When Jian Dan came downstairs with a bowl, she saw Bo Qin sitting in the dining room, seemingly waiting for her. Jian Dan hesitated a little in her actions, took the bowl to the kitchen and left it, leaning close to Lin Ma and asked softly.

"Lin Ma, Uncle Qin is eating dinner alone, why are you setting my place? I’m not eating."

Lin Ma smiled, "Uncle Qin hasn’t come to see you for a while, won’t you accompany him for a meal? Jian Dan, although I think there’s something between you two... let’s not talk about it, as a junior, no matter how dissatisfied you are with him, you can’t just act like he doesn’t matter."

Jian Dan pursed her lips, "I understand, I’ll just eat a little."

Although she was very resistant to dining at the same table with Bo Qin, she still wanted to give Lin Ma some respect. As for Bo Qin, even if she didn’t give him face, Jian Dan didn’t feel she was wrong.

It was Bo Qin who first rejected the closeness.

He didn’t clarify anything, two years, two whole years, without any explanation, she felt her actions were very clear, she didn’t need to extend herself to seek discomfort.

After all, in Bo Qin’s eyes, she was just an irrelevant existence, possibly even a burden, why should she ponder so much?

There’s really no need.

Jian Dan wandered slowly to the dining room, seeing Bo Qin smiling at her as he looked she came out, his chin lifted slightly, signaling her to sit down and eat something. Jian Dan sat down, refused, "Uncle Qin, what brings you here today?"

"Not hungry?" Bo Qin didn’t directly answer Jian Dan’s question, instead asking something unrelated.

Jian Dan frowned, "My appetite hasn’t been great lately, it’ll get better after the Gaokao, just not feeling like eating much."

"Not eating, how will you have the energy to handle other things, do you dislike me so much that you can’t even share a meal with me? Jianjian, I didn’t realize, when did you start disliking me so much?"

Jian Dan’s face turned a bit pale, "Uncle Qin, it’s not like that, I just don’t really want to eat."

"Do you not want to eat, or not want to eat with me?"

This was the first time she saw Bo Qin being so aggressive in speaking to her. At least back when the two of them went to Haicheng, Bo Qin was gentle, never this cold and unkind.

But in these whole two years, she had finally convinced herself to let go, but Bo Qin appeared again.

She just felt it would be better not to overthink things.

Otherwise, the one needing time for healing would only be herself, Bo Qin wouldn’t be affected at all, right?

Bo Qin, however, as if he didn’t hear her, set up the tableware in front of her, "I’ve asked Lin Ma to make two dishes you like, sit down and eat a little, even if it’s just a little bit, it’s better than not eating anything, alright?"

This almost pleading tone made the refusal that was stuck in Jian Dan’s throat swallow down. She slightly furrowed her eyebrows, but still quietly picked up the bowl and chopsticks, getting ready to eat a little; the atmosphere was unprecedentedly quiet. Previously, even when Jian Dan didn’t speak while dining with him, she would still mention her studies.

But today, Jian Dan was surprisingly silent, Bo Qin could only start the conversation himself, "Feeling nervous? About the Gaokao?"

Jian Dan shook her head, "There’s nothing much to be nervous about, it’s all about those topics, fundamentally unchanged. My recent practice tests have been going well, so I’m not worried."
