ALL NOVEL Chapter 27.2: Misunderstanding
It seemed like no matter what she did, her efforts always ended up in vain…
Why was fate always toying with her?
With her already fragile mental state further disturbed by her chaotic thoughts, Zhu Lingjie finally…
Broke down emotionally.
With a thud, Zhu Lingjie collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
“Ah…?”
Shi Hai’s heart skipped a beat.
“Aaaaahhhhh?!”
He was genuinely shocked.
What’s going on?
She’s crying?
Why?
He couldn’t understand!
What went wrong this time?
He had just scared Jian Sichun to the point of wetting herself, and now he had made Zhu Lingjie cry.
What was happening?
It couldn’t be that his appearance was too frightening, or maybe his gaze was too intense!
Zhu Lingjie, now kneeling and sobbing, clasped her hands together and began to speak in a repentant tone.
“I’m sorry…! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
“I’ll never ignore you again…”
“So… please… please!”
“Don’t ignore me…!”
“Don’t… ignore me…”
She knelt there, crying, almost pleading.
Shi Hai crouched down beside her, wanting to comfort her but hesitating to touch her, so he just spoke softly.
“I never ignored you.”
“I-I’m afraid you don’t believe me…”
“What? You mean about your androphobia?”
“And… that I don’t hate you…”
“I told you I understand.”
“But, but…”
Zhu Lingjie didn’t know how to explain herself.
Objectively, her crying did seem inexplicable, and anyone would be troubled by it.
But Shi Hai, after assessing her expression, asked.
“Hmm… Could it be that my calm reaction made you feel I was brushing you off?”
He hit the nail on the head!
Zhu Lingjie realized that she had become anxious over such a small reaction, leading to her emotional breakdown…
She felt somewhat ridiculous…
Even a slight frown or a click of his tongue, any hint of displeasure from Shi Hai, would make her anxious.
This showed that her entire being was tied to him.
“I reacted calmly because I could tell you were sincere.”
“…You could tell?”
“Yes, mainly from your expression. You used to look at me very coldly, like you were trying to kill me with your eyes…”
He was being polite.
It wasn’t just a cold stare; it was like she was looking at a dead ‘object.’
“Th-that was…”
Zhu Lingjie knew she had a cold demeanor.
She was too good at hiding her emotions, never showing them outwardly.
So most of the time, she was expressionless.
“But just now, your expression was very urgent, so I said I understood.”
“Ah…”
“And this time when we met, your expression was much softer than before, so I believed what you said. It seems your psychological condition has improved. Congratulations.”
However, when she first looked at him and Jian Sichun, her gaze was still as cold as before… Shi Hai added in his mind.
Zhu Lingjie suddenly realized.
In her previous life, Shi Hai had misunderstood and thought she hated him because she was mostly expressionless back then.
But since being reincarnated, Zhu Lingjie at least wasn’t as ‘cold.’
So the misunderstanding was resolved the moment they met again.
“Sorry, I’m not the type to have exaggerated reactions…”
“It’s okay… I misunderstood…”
“Alright, stop crying and wipe your tears.”
Shi Hai reached into his pocket and pulled out a ‘handkerchief’ to wipe Zhu Lingjie’s tears.
But as he took it out and extended it, he suddenly remembered he didn’t have a habit of carrying handkerchiefs.
Not even tissues…
So what was this ‘handkerchief’?
What else could it be!
Shi Hai broke into a cold sweat.
Now it was his turn to want to cry.
Zhu Lingjie naturally saw what Shi Hai had taken out.
It was a blue and white striped item.
And her first thought was…
He really likes this kind of thing.
