Super Sweet, 100\% Honeymoon

Chapter 1252 - 1247: Ruge and Ji Yanche / Epilogue (2)

"You once said that when he stands on stage singing, he looks like he’s glowing, and that’s why you like him.Back then, I entered the entertainment industry to win your affection.

Now, I can also leave the entertainment industry for you.

I don’t want any of this anymore.

The affection of thousands can’t compare to yours alone."

Ruge’s pupils contracted, her throat tightened, as if something was blocking it.

Ji Yanche... entered the entertainment industry because of her.

Just because of something she said when she was little?

"Ruge..." Ji Yanche called softly again, "I’m coming to find you now, is that okay?"

"No!" Ruge blurted out without thinking.

She didn’t know if it was because she was too shy to face Ji Yanche now, or because... she didn’t like him at all.

"Ji Yanche, I’ve always seen you as a good friend, as a confidant... really." Ruge lowered her head, fiddling with the buttons on her clothes, "I can’t adapt to this change in our relationship, and I’ve never had that kind of feeling for you.

Ever since the day my parents’ relationship fell apart and they divorced, I was prepared to spend a lifetime on my own.

I believe in love, but I don’t believe it will happen to me.

Compared to a lover, friends last longer.

So, I’m really sorry."

After saying that, Ruge immediately hung up the phone.

She leaned back entirely on the sofa behind her.

Yeah... compared to a lover, friends last longer.

She and Ji Yanche have been friends for over ten years.

There will be many more decades in the future.

But once you move from friends to lovers.

The expiration date becomes a terrifying unknown.

Yes.

They can only be friends.

For Ji Yanche’s inexplicable confession, she’ll forget all about it after a night’s sleep, by tomorrow!

-

On the other end, Ji Yanche silently stared at the screen showing the call had been disconnected.

Originally, he was like a little sun, constantly radiating light.

But now, he seemed enveloped by a dark and dull shadow.

So... was he indeed too impulsive?

Still, he had kept this unspoken love in his heart for so many years.

He hadn’t meticulously planned out some kind of confession.

Because the feeling of love had already overwhelmed all the words he could say.

Everything he said came out entirely by accident.

Ji Yanche remained silent.

His phone suddenly started ringing.

It was a call from his father.

Ji Yanche’s family and Ruge’s family had been neighbors since they were young and grew up together. In elementary school, they each moved away.

Ruge’s family moved to America.

Ji Yanche’s family moved to France.

His father’s voice came through the phone, "Yanche, when are you coming back? Your grandfather’s surgery is next week, and you must be here by tomorrow no matter what. Do you hear me?"

"Hmm, I understand."

"Your grandfather’s condition is very serious, and the doctors say that even with surgery, there’s little hope of survival..." His father’s voice trembled slightly, "His only wish now is to wait for the day his beloved grandson gets engaged and married. I know this is unfair to you, being a celebrity and still in school, but this might be the last wish he has in his lifetime..."

Ji Yanche’s gaze dropped, "I know."

"I’ve found a suitable match for you. Once you return tomorrow, I’ll arrange a meeting for you two. The girl is quite pretty, well-behaved, and excellent in every way."

This time, Ji Yanche didn’t respond immediately.
