With her face stuck to the man’s broad back, Jiahe shook her head.

It was not some harassment at the workplace.

The rotation of her head against his body put Xinghe’s mind at ease.

He curtly questioned, “Why are you holding me then?”

Jiahe looked up to the sky and drew a deep breath before mustering the courage to say, “You drove from the city all the way here on New Year’s Eve. Was it so you could share a few words and leave? That’s a waste of your gasoline…”

Waste of gasoline?

The comment tickled XInghe’s funny bones. What was going on in that mind of hers?

Was the subject of the matter about gasoline or him?

Still, he could not bear to pull away from her when her lean arms were wrapped around his waist.

Faced with his silence, Jiahe said, “You caught me off guard when you asked if I wanted to be with you. I… I need time to think about it.”

Xinghe pursed his lips and let go of her hand before entering the car.

Jiahe stood in a daze outside the car. As the car window rolled down, Xinghe stared solemnly at her and said, “You better give it a proper thought, and the clock starts now. Consider if I am someone you want to date.”

She nodded absent-mindedly, and Xinghe reversed out of the narrow road. Noticing that the girl stood frozen there, he drove over and cried, “Jiahe.”

“Huh?”

“I’m telling you right now that I never wanted to be your life coach. You either have me in or out of your life. Get it?”

Jiahe was tempted to snap back that he was already participating in her life as a life coach.

Still, judging by the unfriendly and grimacing look on Xinghe’s face, now was not the time or place to make the comment.
