Perhaps. Although she and Gu Jiang were dating, they had never formally held hands, let alone shared an intimate moment like this, with lips touching foreheads.
Lin Jingchu remained silent opposite her. This silence made Jiang Yuekai feel the atmosphere was even more ambiguous, so she broke the silence first, "Actually, I came to apologize to you today."
Lin Jingchu finally looked at her. Jiang Yuekai seized the opportunity to observe his expression. He appeared as calm as usual. He must have forgotten about that unexpected moment.
Since he had forgotten, she had no reason to dwell on it. Thus, Jiang Yuekai's attitude became much more relaxed. "I was wrong to avoid you for so long."
Lin Jingchu hadn't expected her to apologize for that. Although he had been upset, he had never blamed her. "It's okay."
"Really?" Jiang Yuekai couldn't believe it. "You don't blame me?"
Lin Jingchu said helplessly, "When have I ever blamed you?"
Jiang Yuekai: "..." Right, it was true. Lin Jingchu had never argued with her since they were children. Their relationship had always been incredibly harmonious.
Therefore, his future girlfriend would surely be very happy.
As Jiang Yuekai fell silent, Lin Jingchu asked again, "This wasn't your true intention, was it?"
"Gu Jiang is a bit bothered," Jiang Yuekai said. "He brought it up with me. After thinking about it, if there were other girls around him, I wouldn't be happy either, so I agreed."
She was quite frank. Lin Jingchu asked again, "Then why did you come today?"
"Because I think my previous decision was wrong." Jiang Yuekai was someone who was not afraid to admit her mistakes. "Actually, Gu Jiang and I had a fight after you left yesterday."
Lin Jingchu frowned. He didn't think Jiang Yuekai was the type to argue with people. It was likely Gu Jiang had initiated the argument with her, because Gu Jiang had already been very angry when he went to deliver the pastries yesterday.
Lin Jingchu remained silent, listening to Jiang Yuekai recount the events of the previous night. Displeasure showed in his eyes. It had only been a short time, and Gu Jiang dared to make such an excessive request of Jiang Yuekai.
Despite his displeasure, Lin Jingchu still asked, "Why didn't you agree?"
Jiang Yuekai replied, "How could I agree to such an absurd request! No matter how much I like him, it's impossible!"
Lin Jingchu's mood improved upon hearing this answer, but then he thought of something else. "You agreed to it a while ago, didn't you?"
His tone sounded sarcastic, laced with a hint of melancholy and grievance.
Jiang Yuekai, of course, understood. She quickly put on a conciliatory smile and pouted, her voice soft, "That's why I came to apologize, Brother Jingchu is the most generous. Considering I brought you breakfast, can you forgive me this once?"
Jiang Yuekai rarely acted spoiled, but Lin Jingchu couldn't resist her when she did. In fact, ever since she had said she was coming last night, he had stopped blaming her. However, he then asked, "What do you plan to do from now on? If he's so bothered by me, there will be friction in the future."
Lin Jingchu was speaking truthfully, but after he said it, he felt he was being a bit of a troublemaker.
However, Jiang Yuekai didn't overthink it. She told Lin Jingchu, "I'll talk to him clearly. If he's really that bothered and doesn't trust me, I think our relationship might have to end. I won't stop interacting with people of the opposite sex just because of him. We'll see if he can accept it. If not, then we'll part ways. It's better to end it than to argue every day. At least my memories of him will remain beautiful, and I'll feel good when I think of him in the future." Jiang Yuekai was much more rational now.
Lin Jingchu thought that perhaps he should be thankful for Gu Jiang's "unreasonable fuss" this time. If not for this incident, Jiang Yuekai probably wouldn't have come to see him.
Lin Jingchu knew Jiang Yuekai's personality best. She was Lan Lan's daughter, and Lan Lan's most prominent trait was her freedom and lack of restraint. She disliked being controlled, so Lin Jingchu had been very careful when interacting with her.
After talking for a long time, Jiang Yuekai confirmed with Lin Jingchu, "Brother Jingchu, have you forgiven me?"
Lin Jingchu saw her expectant gaze and smiled. "I wasn't blaming you."
Jiang Yuekai looked at him seriously. Seeing his handsome lips curve upwards, she finally felt at ease. She began to praise Lin Jingchu again, "Brother Jingchu, you're so good. Someone as handsome and good-tempered as you is like a celestial being descended to earth. Whoever becomes your girlfriend will be envied to death."
"Really?" Lin Jingchu instinctively wanted to ask her: Do you want to be envied?
The words reached his throat, but he swallowed them back. He couldn't ask. If he asked now, Jiang Yuekai would truly become wary of him.
Lin Jingchu finished all the breakfast Jiang Yuekai brought. He even drank the coffee with the flawed latte art. After the meal, they planned to go out and have fun.
Jiang Yuekai had come to apologize. She hadn't spent time with Lin Jingchu for a long time, so she proactively suggested, "Brother Jingchu, let's go out and play!"
Lin Jingchu naturally wouldn't refuse. "Where do you want to go? Disneyland?"
"No, we've been there so many times recently," Jiang Yuekai said. "Let's go to Auntie's place to see the puppies!"
Jiang Yuekai's aunt was Jiang Rong. They both had a common characteristic: they owned pets. Jiang Yuekai also loved animals.
"Okay, sure," Lin Jingchu said, agreeing to whatever she wanted.
Jiang Yuekai contacted Jiang Rong in advance. Jiang Rong mentioned that the kennel happened to have a gathering today, with many dogs coming. Jiang Yuekai excitedly told Lin Jingchu about it. "We've come at the perfect time! Auntie also said there's a litter of newborn Border Collies!"
Lin Jingchu drove Jiang Yuekai to Jiang Rong's kennel. The kennel was located in the outskirts. As they parked, they saw many parents walking their dogs, with Border Collies being the most numerous, along with Shetland Sheepdogs, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and more. Jiang Yuekai went to play with the puppies. Soon, Jiang Rong also came out.
When Jiang Rong saw Jiang Yuekai and Lin Jingchu arrive together, her eyes took on a playful glint. She looked at Lin Jingchu, and they shared a knowing glance. Jiang Yuekai didn't notice and was asking her, "Auntie, where are the newborn Border Collies? Can I go see them?"
Jiang Rong agreed, and Jiang Yuekai called Lin Jingchu to go with her. The parents of this litter of Border Collies had won awards in international competitions, and their puppies were all exceptionally beautiful. Among them was a rare mocha-colored Border Collie.
Jiang Yuekai was immediately captivated by it, her eyes fixed on it, shining with excitement. "It's so cute! Auntie, has this puppy been reserved by anyone?"
"Do you like it?" Jiang Rong saw her fondness and said, "If you like it, I can give it to you."
