Chapter 2 Got on his love pirate ship
Later, he really didn’t come to see me until they were about to graduate.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
I found that a new neighbor moved in across the hall.
That day was particularly unlucky for me. The project didn’t go well, I was scolded by my boss, and I sprained my foot on the way home.
Fortunately, my colleague Kevin passed by. Seeing me limping, he kindly drove me home and assisted me upstairs since I had difficulty walking.
As soon as we opened the elevator, I saw Roan standing at my doorstep.
He was still so handsome but had become more mature and reserved, no longer the green and inexperienced youth from before.
Our eyes met, and Roan’s gaze moved in a circle on the hand that Kevin was assisting me with. Then, his expression visibly darkened. He silently walked to the opposite door of my home and closed it with a loud “bang.”
I awkwardly chuckled a few times. It turned out that Roan was my new neighbor.
I didn’t dare ask him directly, so I quietly asked my younger brother about Roan’s recent situation.
My brother said, “Roan has already found an internship unit over there, it seems to be the JC Group. I remember you’re also with JC, right? Didn’t he tell you? Fi… Sis… hello…?”
I couldn’t hold my phone steady. What did Roan mean?
Moving next door to my place and specifically interning at my company?
It’s been so long since that incident; he still can’t let it go?
Dragging one leg, limping, I walked to the opposite door and knocked on the door, “Knock, knock, knock.”
“Roan! Come out!”
After a while, he leisurely opened the door, probably just finished bathing. He casually draped a bathrobe over himself, revealing a large expanse of wheat-colored skin. He looked down at me from a higher vantage point.
I felt a bit guilty and swallowed hard.
But thinking about him appearing in front of me every day from now on, reminding me of the mistake I made, I found some courage from somewhere and began to speak forcefully.
“Why did you move across from my place ? What’s the meaning of interning at my company? Just because I force you to sleep with me? After all these years, you still hold on to it. Fine, I’ll give it back to you!”
I closed my eyes, bracing myself.
He remained silent for a while, and when I sneakily glanced at him, he looked at me with a somewhat ambiguous expression, a playful look.
I wanted to say more, but suddenly, a woman walked out from inside, wearing a face mask and pajamas. She asked him, “Ro, who’s this?”
I felt like I had been struck by lightning, stunned on the spot.
There was a surge of something in my heart, fleeting and tinged with bitterness.
I hadn’t expected him to already be living with a girlfriend, and I felt like a clown, truly delusional.
“Sorry… I walked into the wrong place…”
I lowered my head, quickly dragging my injured leg away from the scene.
