The sisters, Tangtang and Guoguo, had a hint of a smile on their faces, but it was a particularly bitter one.
Xu Ke ignored this smile, knowing that what the sisters needed at that moment wasn't his comfort, but time. They needed time to accept this reality.
Offering them comfort at this moment wouldn't do them any good; it could backfire.
"Well, it's getting late. We should get some rest first. We have to go job hunting tomorrow," Tangtang chuckled dryly and said.
Xu Ke didn't expose Tangtang's desire to escape. Instead, he naturally bid them goodnight and returned to his room.
After watching Xu Ke's door close, the sisters simultaneously let out a deep sigh, as a wave of dejection tightly wrapped around them.
Strictly speaking, it was their first time liking someone, but they didn't expect that this fondness was so short-lived. It ended before it even began, even shorter than the bloom of the shortest-lasting flower.
