As a beholder, Christy Zhong couldn't help but think that how could they possibly have no love? She had heard Jing Lu and other family members say that their marriage was on the basis of romantic love.
After Zhangdong Feng hung up, he suddenly became all sweetness and light. "Go ahead and eat. Is this enough?" asked he flatly.
He only had Christy in the heart now, and certainly didn't want to give anyone his tenderness.
Christy had already been helping herself. She was already full. "No more thank you, I've had enough. Are you full?" She looked up quickly and asked him.
Zhangdong had never meant to eat anything. He just wanted to renew acquaintance with his old friend.
"I'm all right, you need not worry," said Zhangdong thoughtfully. He seemed like a different person now.
Christy glanced at the clock and found that a long time had passed. According to his original flight, it was nearly time for her to go to the airport.
So Christy needed to ask him about his plans. But she really didn't know how to start.
She paused a moment to consider. "Brother, where are you going now?" asked she hesitantly.
According to the family's attitudes toward him, they would very likely arrange for someone to pick him up. It was not polite for Zhangdong to break his promise.
He looked at Christy and understood her intention very well, "Don't worry, I can manage."
In fact, Christy never worried about it. She just didn't understand why bother like this? Was this appointment that important? She was too young to remember her childhood.
Even if she still remembered, then what? Living in the present moment was the most important thing.
"My sister-in-law is a pretty good person to get along with." Driven by heaven-knows-what motives, Christy said this lightly. Anyway, she must tell the truth. As for their relationship, however, only they knew it.
Zhangdong tried to clear the confusion that was fogging his brain. It was difficult to define the border between love and friendship. Love was not something that one can explain clearly and make people understand.
"Yes, she is nice, but not fit to be a wife." Though Zhangdong's voice was low, Christy could hear it quite plainly. It was not a good situation, she felt very worried.
Suddenly, Christy didn't want to stay any longer. She had been here a long time. Above all, she won't let personal reasons affect her work.
