Chapter 095 Unable to Match ????"How did you come here?" She quickly wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, trying to calm down her emotions. ????"Are you okay? I couldn't contact you, so I came to see you." Chen Yan slowly approached her, thinking about getting close to her, warming her up, and at least giving her a shoulder to lean on while she cried. ????"But Xia Xi didn't appreciate it. When she saw Chen Yan approaching, she took a few steps back and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Oh right, three days have passed." ????"These three days were too chaotic, too long, like floating in a sea of suffering for three years. Her heart was filled with the pain of losing Lu Dongqi, and she had no time to think about anything else. ????"Originally, she had already let go of Lu Dongqi. Originally, he could have become an ordinary friend that she occasionally asked about, but his sudden and resolute farewell had left an indelible mark on her heart. ????"The answer Chen Yan wanted was uncertain in Xia Xi's heart after experiencing such a life-and-death separation. ????"Life is so unpredictable, who knows what will happen next? She had never been so afraid of losing someone before. If she didn't get it, would she not lose it? ????"So, she looked down and didn't dare to look into Chen Yan's eyes. With a forced tone, she told him: "Chen Yan, I've thought about it. You want unbridled freedom, and I want peaceful rules. Our gamble, no matter who wins, can't have a perfect ending. It's better if we just pretend this never happened." ????"Is this your true feelings?" Chen Yan looked at Xia Xi with doubt. Her previous behavior had been so obvious, but now she was saying something like this. It couldn't help but make him feel lost, but that slight loss only lasted for a moment. He knew Lu Dongqi's death had dealt her a huge blow, and in this situation, her words couldn't be taken as rational analysis. ????"True feelings? We've never been suitable." Xia Xi gritted her teeth and insisted. Perhaps this was the best ending, to take back their decision before they exchanged true feelings. This way, there would never be any hurt or loss. ????"Summer Xi, after so many days of being together, if I couldn't even tell if you're speaking from your heart, that's too much of a failure." Chen Yan smiled slightly, his handsome face determined. He looked at Xia Xi with gentle eyes and said: "Listen, in emotions, there's no such thing as suitability or unsuitability, only willingness or unwillingness. From the moment you agreed to gamble with me, you've already revealed your heart. Now, I'm standing here telling you that I like you. You won't take a step forward, so I'll come to you." ????"He said this and took a step closer to her. ????"Xia Xi heard him and panicked: "Don't come over!" She realized that as long as Chen Yan compromised even a little, her determination would crumble instantly. He approached her, and she was at a loss for what to do, so in the face of his relentless approach, she treated him like an enemy. ????"Okay, okay, I won't go over." Chen Yan rolled his eyes. What's wrong with getting close to her? Xia Xi reacted as if she had been harassed by a middle-aged woman. Did he really have such a shallow image in her heart? Chen Yan was instantly filled with frustration. ????"Chen Yan, you say you like me, but do you understand me? Do you know what I like?" ????"I..." Xia Xi asked back, and Chen Yan was speechless for a moment. ????"Do you know my favorite color, my star sign, or what food I like to eat?" Xia Xi's voice trembled as she muttered: "But Lu Dongqi knew." ????"Once again touching the trigger point of her emotions, Xia Xi's eyes flashed with sadness. This moment of melancholy fell into Chen Yan's eyes, and he felt helpless. Lu Dongqi's death had become a chasm between him and Xia Xi. ????"If he were still here, Chen Yan was confident that he could win Xia Xi's heart. In fact, they already had such an unspoken understanding. But since he wasn't here, it became a dream in Xia Xi's heart, perhaps one that she couldn't reach. Maybe he wasn't that great, but the deceased youth had evolved into an almost perfect existence in Xia Xi's unreachable memories. ????"Just because of this, Chen Yan was unable to match up to him.
