Meng Jiahe turned her head and walked away briskly, showing through her actions that she was angry unless he made a proper apology.
"Is it just because of what I said... does it really bother you that much?" Shangguan Yuan's eyes drooped, feeling somewhat uneasy; did Ah He really look down on him that much?
"Shouldn't I be bothered?" Meng Jiahe looked back at him once, then walked even faster.
Shangguan Yuan didn't dare respond and continued to follow her from a distance.
Although Meng Jiahe was angry, she also remembered many good things about her friend Shangguan Yuan, like how he helped fix the tap at her house, getting all soaked.
He even tried to cook when she accidentally cut herself chopping vegetables, although the end result was that her pots and pans were wrecked; but his initial intention was good.
And there were many other things.
Most importantly... the feeling of having someone to walk home with genuinely gave her a sense of security.
