Lin He had never been rejected on the spot, let alone had his pride publicly trampled on, since his growth spurt and glow-up in middle school.
His stubborn temper instantly flared. If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, he would have smashed his lunch tray right into Chun Mian's face. He was willing to use her as a prop, which was giving her face and showing he thought highly of her. How dared Chun Mian reject him and even throw attitude at him?
Lin He was cursing her out in his mind, but outwardly, he maintained a practiced, customer-service smile. "We were seatmates. It's been so long. I just wanted to say hi, buy you a drink, and catch up. I didn't expect my little seatmate to be so unappreciative..."
He let out a soft sigh, looking somewhat hurt.
Having put on a full performance, Lin He took back his freshly squeezed juice and walked off to eat in a secluded corner, looking like a lonely, rejected figure.
