Or, had he always been distant, causing her pain?
If he had done anything wrong, he at least hoped she would tell him...
"I've always been like this," Gong Shirao said. "Did my previous excessive concern make you misunderstand something? I'm not usually that warm, I'm naturally aloof. Don't overthink it."
Zhan Nanjue looked at his right hand, hesitated, and finally said, "Shirao, a week from now, after my surgery, I have something to tell you."
Gong Shirao felt a little dizzy and didn't catch what Zhan Nanjue said.
Not hearing her response, he added, "I hope to see you on the day of my surgery."
Gong Shirao tightly held the documents in her hands, then turned around to look at him and gave him a cheering gesture, "I'll try my best to make time!"
Her gaze unexpectedly met his.
She was somewhat afraid he would notice her unease.
So, not waiting for him to speak, she quickly said, "I have something else to do, I need to leave first."
