The waiter bowed before he walked out. He also closed the door as he went out. Mo Aili took a sip of the water to calm herself down.

She looked at the time and realized that she actually arrived an hour early. There was still some time before Chu Yisen arrived, so she could think about what she was going to say later.

Would he be mad when he saw her?

Would he like her outfit today?

Would he think she was also pretty?

Mo Aili could only think about how he would think of her.

Half an hour later, the door was pushed open. Mo Aili nervously looked at the door. He seemed to have dressed up nicely today. Different from the formal suit he used to wear, he was wearing a white casual suit today, which made him look even more handsome.

When Chu Yisen saw Mo Aili sitting in the room, the smile on his face froze instantly. He wanted to retreat before he walked into the room.

As Mo Aili saw that he wanted to turn around and leave, her face suddenly turned pale. She clenched her fists and said, "Xue asked you to come here. Are you sure you want to leave?" Her voice was slightly trembling.

"Where's Xue?" Chu Yisen originally wanted to leave but returned after hearing Mo Aili's words. He then asked unceremoniously.

Mo Aili glanced at the waiter and motioned for him to go out.

The waiter nodded, went out, and closed the door.

"Sit down first!" Mo Aili said, not minding his bad attitude.

Chu Yisen frowned slightly and then sat down impatiently.

"Xue won't come. I told her to ask you out." Mo Aili explained in a low voice, "Are you disappointed that you can't see her?"

"Of course, I'm disappointed!" Chu Yisen said directly, regardless of Mo Aili's pale face, "So what? Why did you ask me to come out?"

"I called you, but you didn't answer. I have something to tell you." Mo Aili bit her lower lip and said softly.

Chu Yisen rubbed his head in frustration. He knew what she was thinking, so he avoided her. But he didn't expect her to be so stubborn.

"Tell me! I'll listen!" Chu Yisen said slowly. He didn't expect that she was reluctant to give up even though he already tried to avoid her. He didn't even know if she was innocent, persistent, and cute, or she was silly. She knew that he loved Murong Xue.

"Do you know when I saw you for the first time, I really thought you were so annoying and arrogant? You are just a haughty b*st*rd." Mo Aili started saying how they met for the first time.

Chu Yisen's hand froze when he picked up the glass of water. Was he really so bad? "Really?"

"The second time we met was when you were dumped by Xue. I thought you were pitiful, so I dragged you to have a big meal, and then I thought you weren't such a bad person." Thinking of this, she smiled unconsciously.

This time Chu Yisen didn't answer but listened to her quietly. He didn't hate Mo Aili, and he didn't want to hurt her. No one would dislike such a straightforward girl, but it was a pity that they didn't meet at the right time. He already fell for someone else and he couldn't control his feelings.

"The third time, you kissed me..."

"Pfft!" Chu Yisen sprayed out the water he had just drank. "What did you say? Don't make things up!"

Mo Aili glared at him fiercely, "You took my first kiss and refuse to admit you did it! I'm going to tell Xue." She suddenly cried while feeling aggrieved. Although Mo Aili knew that he was already drunk at the time and thought of her as Murong Xue, it was still her first kiss she cherished so much. She was the only one who remembered it. It was so unfair.

Chu Yisen was stunned. This girl cried all of a sudden. She should at least give him some time to react. But now it was not the time to talk about this. When did he take her first kiss? Though she could say whatever she wanted, she couldn't simply make things up.

But Mo Aili didn't explain it to him at all. She simply cried hard, gasping for breath. She looked so pitiful.

After a long time, he picked up the tissue box on the table and handed it over, "Stop crying." Her eyes were so red from crying that anyone who saw him would think he was bullying her.

Mo Aili took the tissue box and vigorously wiped her tears. In an instant, her delicate face immediately became colorful because her makeup was ruined.

"Pfft!" After Chu Yisen saw it, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Mo Aili froze while wiping her tears, thinking that he was making fun of her.

Seeing her gloomy face, Chu Yisen knew she had misunderstood, so he pointed to her face and said, "Would you like to go to the bathroom to wash your face?"

After Mo Aili looked at the colors on the tissue, she covered her face and ran into the bathroom.

She could see from the mirror that her makeup was completely ruined. It was a little horrible to watch. She obviously wanted him to see the beautiful side of her, but she didn't expect him to see the worst side of her instead. If she had known that this would happen, she would rather not have worn any makeup in the beginning.

She turned on the tap in annoyance and washed the makeup off her face with the water in her hands.

It took her a long time to wash off the ruined makeup on her face.

Mo Aili walked out but saw no sign of Chu Yisen. She couldn't help squatting down and crying. He wasn't even willing to wait for her as she only spent some time washing her face.

"If it had been Xue, he might have been willing to wait forever." Mo Aili thought

The more Mo Aili thought about it, the sadder she became. She cried heartbrokenly. She didn't want to like him either, but she couldn't control her feelings. Even if she knew that seeing him would make her sad, she still wanted to see him.

She hadn't told him what she wanted to say most. Next time, he would definitely not want to come out.

When Chu Yisen walked in, he saw Mo Aili squatting at the door of the bathroom with her arms wrapping her knees. Her head was buried on her legs. She was sobbing, which made him feel sorry for her. He felt that Mo Aili was just like him. He knew how painful it was when he wasn't able to be with the one he loved.

It was because of this that he did not want to meet her. He didn't want to hurt her. Also, he was worried that he might pity her. But he was fully aware that this kind of pity was not about love.

He walked over and patted her head gently. "Don't cry..."

Mo Aili raised her head in surprise, and tears rolled down her cheeks. To be honest, she didn't look good like this, but Chu Yisen felt that she was silly and cute.

"Oh... You b*st*rd... I thought you left." Mo Aili threw herself into his arms.

Chu Yisen's body stiffened, and he subconsciously wanted to push her away. But when he saw that she was crying out of breath, he finally put down his hands, not minding her tears and snot all over his clothes.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Mo Aili gradually stopped crying. She looked at the stains on Chu Yisen's chest in embarrassment.

"I am sorry…"

"It's okay. Are you calming down?" Chu Yisen asked.

"Yeah, I... I like you!" Mo Aili bit her lower lip and confessed with courage.

Chu Yisen sighed and then said, "I love Xue, and that won't change in this life." He said seriously.

Mo Aili lowered her head sadly. "Xue already has a boyfriend. Don't you know that?" She knew that this would hurt him, but she still said it. In fact, she regretted it the moment she blurted it out.

However, Chu Yisen showed a wry smile. "I know. Xue has already told me. You don't need to repeat it to me."

Mo Aili asked emotionally, "You know? Then why do you still love her? Are you silly? You can never be with her in this life." Her heart ached, not for herself but for the man in front of her.

Chu Yisen looked up at her and asked, "What about you?"

Mo Aili was silent, feeling bitter. That was right. They were both idiots.

"Can't I be with you?" Mo Aili asked persistently.

Chu Yisen shook his head. "I can't fool myself. It won't be fair for both of us. You are still young, and you will meet a man who is much better than me."

"But those people are not you." Mo Aili's tears streamed down again.

Chu Yisen looked at her and said solemnly, "You should give up. It is impossible for me to like you."

Mo Aili's face turned pale. He was really straightforward. In that case, she had no reason to pester him. He didn't leave her any chance.

"I'm sorry." After Chu Yisen said that, he turned around and left. Mo Aili shouldn't have found him to comfort her after being heartbroken. Otherwise, it would only make her more depressed instead of saving her.

Mo Aili was standing there motionlessly. She deeply regretted meeting him this time.

If they hadn't met, she could at least have deceived herself.

If they hadn't made it clear, she could at least have lived in her wonderful imagination.

Now, she knew that she completely lost the chance to be with him before she tried it. She was unwilling to accept it.

But it was Murong Xue, her best friend. She couldn't even bear to hate her.
