This extremely conflicted psychological state made him avoid any news related to the Su Family as much as possible.
Especially news related to Xiao'ai.
A few days ago, the group captain even mentioned that Xiao'ai had asked him why Uncle Ji Dong hadn't come to see her recently.
He didn't dare to go.
He was afraid that if he went, he would overthink things.
It was better not to see her; knowing that the little girl was safe and sound each day was enough.
At times, his mind would become dizzy with thoughts, and he would let this unusual emotion gradually dissipate.
As several days passed, he thought he had dispersed these unusual feelings, but when faced with someone else's kindness, the reaction that was too quick to even consider, like a loud slap, woke him from his self-deceptive dream.
He then realized that the more suppressed feelings were, the deeper they etched themselves into the depths of his heart.
He hadn't forgotten, nor had he stopped caring.
