Chapter 16
Some time after Lu Jinnian had left, Qiao Anhao slowly lifted her head, staring at the the side of the bed that he had been lying on . Moving the big teddy bear away, she buried her face into his side, breathing in his scent, feeling the warmth he had left behind .
Qiao Anhao took in a deep breath greedily before caressing the blanket that still carried his warmth with her face, bitterness spreading through her heart .
Even if he had said such cruel things, she still couldn't help being in love with him .
Yesterday night at 'To the End of Time' banquet, Zhao Meng had been right . They were never like this in the past .
Back then in school, Lu Jinnian was generally quite close to the guys, but he would avoid girls at all costs . And at that time, she was one of the few girls that were on speaking terms with him .
However, he talked to her not because she was special but because of Xu Jiamu .
The Xu family and Qiao family were very close, and she had grown up with Xu Jiamu . Lu Jinnian was Xu Jiamu's half brother of the same father, which meant that Lu Jinnian was the legitimate son of the Xu family .
Not affected by the problems from the previous generation, Lu Jinnian and Xu Jiamu had a close relationship and got along well together .
Qiao Anhao had became one of the girls that spoke with Lu Jinnian through Xu Jiamu .
However, they were only on talking terms which primarily consisted of greetings out of courtesy such as "Hello" and "Good bye" .
Back when she was younger, without so much worries, she would always actively pursue her love . Even though she wasn't the kind of girl who could daringly confess to a guy, write love letters, or deliver chocolates at Valentine's, she would secretly look for him . Occasionally, in the school field or on the way home, she would catch up to him, greeting him casually while suppressing her feelings . He would either reply with a greeting or just nod his head, but that was enough to leave her basking in happiness .
More than once she had dreamed of a future with him, but she could never muster enough courage to confess . As such, their lukewarm relationship persisted, while her feelings hidden deep within her heart grew each day .
After she entered university, for a reason she did not know, Lu Jinnian started to treat her with hatred and disdain .
Initially, she had thought she was too sensitive because of the love she harbored .
