As he walked closer, Song Qingchun immediately stood up from her seat and stared nervously at him. At that moment, she really didn’t know what to say.
He didn’t even look at her and passed the receipt back to the counter lady. Then he stood there quietly before turning to Song Qingchun to add, "Anything else?"
After a moment, Song Qingchun realized he was asking whether she had other outstanding bills. She shook her head hurriedly, adding, "No."
He didn’t answer, only giving a grunt of acknowledgement as her reply. Then he didn’t stay and turn to leave.
Before paying, the counter lady had already packed Song Qingchun’s purchase. Song Qingchun stared at his back before grabbing the small bag off the table and jogging to catch up to him. She finally reached him at the elevator door.
The elevator closed, and they headed down to Floor B2. There was no one else in the cramped elevator; silence was their only company.
Song Qingchun twisted her fingers around the thread of her shopping back before turning to study Su Zhinian, who was standing beside her, out of the corner of her eyes. She bit her lips and said softly, "So sorry for tonight, but thank you very much."
Su Zhinian stared at the closed elevator door and didn’t respond.
She had a hard time reading his real feelings, but from the annoyance on his face, it seemed like he was very unhappy.
Is it because I’m being ’clingy’, or does he consider my accidental message harassment?
Song Qingchun felt a dull pain starting to creep through her heart. She lowered her gaze, and after a long silence, she opened her lips to try to explain. "I didn’t do this on purpose. It was really not my intention to trouble you; I just wanted..."
Song Qingchun wanted to say that she had intended to message Brother Yinan, but for some reason, she had accidentally sent the message to him instead.
Once upon a time, she wouldn’t have thought twice about praising her Brother Yinan before him, but now, she realized she didn’t want to talk about another man in his company.
Song Qingchun lowered her head and continued her explanation, skipping the whole thing with Qin Yinan in a whispered tone. "In any case, tonight was truly an accident. Don’t worry, I promise you, this will not happen again..."
The more she explained, the darker his expression became. Song Qingchun saw this but continued fumble through her explanation regardless. "I swear this is the first and last time, I promise you..."
"Then, I hope you are a person of your word," Su Zhinian suddenly interrupted in a severe tone.
A great pressure following his words swept over Song Qingchun; it rendered her speechless instantly. She lowered her head even more and started to bite on her lips away from his gaze.
The air in the elevator seemed to freeze, weighing down heavily on its only two occupants.
The red letter above the door finally reached B2. As the door opened, Su Zhinian stepped out of it without hesitation.
Song Qingchun stared at his back and, after a moment’s thought, called out to say, "Thank you for your help tonight; I will repay the money as soon as I can."
