To Love You Again

Chapter 560 - In the Boy\'s Table (II)

He recalled what happened earlier.

Tang Xinyang was definitely angry and he had hurt her with his words. But the woman did not show any retaliation and just ignored him. That was the most peaceful response that Jang Shin had ever received from Tang Xinyang.

Right, Tang Xinyang did not beat him at all. Why?

Jang Shin had goosebumps. It was actually scarier now that he thought about it. The violent woman who did not spare him any beatings just spared him in this situation.

He should be happy...but his instinct told him that was not all to it.

Linfeng did not notice that he instilled another fear in Jang Shin\'s heart. He continued. "Why are you being so hard-headed anyway? It is clear that you like her, so what are you holding back for?"

Jang Shin\'s eyes widened and he opened his mouth in surprise. He could not believe that Linfeng would ask him so straightforwardly like this. "You..!"

"What? I am saying the truth. I have known you before you knew Tang Xinyang, so there\'s no way I will not notice how you look at her when she isn\'t looking."

Jang Shin\'s cheeks turned red. "Linfeng! You, shut up!" He glanced at William in embarrassment.

This damn man... did not hear it right?

Jang Shin knew though that he was just fooling himself.

William immediately turned his head around and pretended like he was staring at somewhere far away. But his gossipy nature was aroused. His ears were both perked up.

"I don\'t know what you are talking about," Jang Shin denied, reached for his wineglass, and drank the wine in one gulp.

Linfeng slightly narrowed his eyes. He studied Jang Shin for a while.

"The more you deny it, the more it will backfire you," Linfeng said. This advice came from his own experience.

Jang Shin frowned, finally feeling angry. "Linfeng, you are being nosy in someone\'s affair. What\'s gotten into you?"

Linfeng shrugged. "You are my friend. Xinyang is also my friend. Of course, I will give you some advice based on my personal experience."

There was no way Linfeng would tell him, that it was because Xiong Zhi would surely ask him later if he milked something out from Jang Shin.

Judging from the eager look of Xiong Zhi before she left the table, he knew that his girlfriend would do her best to help her friend.

Jang Shin involuntarily rebutted. "When did you ever act like a friend? Acting like this now, don\'t you think it\'s too late?"

Linfeng: \'....\'

Why are your words so hurtful?

Even William awkwardly shifted on his seat to turn his body around. He wished to become like a pillar.

The atmosphere at the table was a bit wrong.

When Jang Shin saw the surprise and doubt in Linfeng\'s eyes, he finally realized what he had just said. He covered his face in frustration. Why could he ever not control his mouth?

"I am sorry,? Linfeng. I don\'t really mean to say that, it\'s just, ugh, I am just not myself today."

"..."

Linfeng closed his mouth slowly and fell silent.

Usually, involuntary words contained many unconscious truths from within the speaker\'s mind.

Jang Shin\'s words made Linfeng think and reflect upon himself.

Even though Linfeng cared for Jang Shin, it appeared that he did not show it enough.

Linfeng tend to mostly ignore the man\'s rumblings as he felt that all Jang Shin needed was to talk while he silently listened. When they were younger and Jang Shin got beaten up by Tang Xinyang, Linfeng just watched on with cold eyes. His only thoughts were that Jang Shin needed to realize how weak he was so he could improve. Then, when they were in their teens, it was always Jang Shin who opened his mouth first to ask how he was doing, and Linfeng just took it for granted.

\'....\'

It was as if the mist on a glass window was suddenly wiped clear.

Linfeng never really opened up first or reached out to Jang Shin.

The man fell quiet.

Now thinking about it, he was truly lacking in many ways as Jang Shin\'s friend. Jang Shin had helped him many times, but he had not done much for him.

Seeing that Linfeng was silent, Jang Shin felt even guiltier and unsettled.

"Hey, my dearest bro, don\'t think too much on what I said. It\'s wrong! Everything I said is not true at all!"

The more Jang Shin said it like that, the more Linfeng felt it was not the case.

The gully between his brows deepened as he fell into deeper thoughts.

Jang Shin slapped his head.

Ahhhh!

What was wrong to him today? Every word that came out of his mouth hurt the people he cared about. Did he swallow some blades or something?

Linfeng spoke after a while. "It is true that I am lacking in so many things as a friend. I will work on it. However, if you need any help or someone to talk to, I am all ears," he said seriously.

Jang Shin who thought he would be hated was a bit touched. "Alright..."

"So, what are you going to do now?" Linfeng asked, his eyes unprecedentedly bright.

"Huh?"

"About you and Tang Xinyang. Are you just going to ignore your feelings?"

The feeling of being touched flew with the wind. Jang Shin glared at Linfeng. Were we still going to talk about that?!

He glanced at William.

This thick-face man was still here! He could just not opened his mouth and spout the answer to that question. The killer lady might use that against him and chase after Tang Xinyang!

William could feel his eyes that spoke words. He took it as a cue to be finally freed from the awkward table. He stood up in relief. "Youngest, I\'ll just go to the restroom."

Even if he wanted to listen to the gossip, it would be rude to stay. It was clear that Jang Shin did not want to express his feelings while William was around.

It was better to gossip later with the youngest.

Youngest, I am counting on you!
