sfied." 。"Don't call me Daddy, it feels weird." Let me know if you have anything else you'd like translated! 。For half a month, I am your only daddy. From now on, call him Uncle Tao Chen."...After the phone call ended, silence filled the car for a moment before Kodan spoke again.

“I… I confessed. Did you… did you know everything” How to ask this question, Kou Dan didn't know. But she still wanted to be sure. 。"No, only my family knows " 。“ To be precise, it was the people at home who noticed and pointed it out directly. It wasn't something Chi Chuan said himself.” 。But now explaining this wouldn't make sense, he could only bear the responsibility. 。"Do you think it's funny that I confessed my feelings to you" 。"It's not funny,…"

“No, I never found it funny” 。Chi Chuan quickly interrupted Kou Dan's words and explained. 。"Kou Dan, I'm sorry for what I said today. 。“ There’s nothing Chikawa can say to explain, so he can only apologize. ” 。It's nothing, I don't mind what children say. 。"This sentence wasn't said willingly, but because Chikawa forced him to." 。He began by apologizing, which proves that these words were not his own and have nothing to do with him. In other words, he used the two words "sorry" to clarify their relationship, express his attitude, and dispel her misunderstanding. 。A simple apology held so many thoughts. What else could she care about, what else could she hope for 。Chīchuān still wanted to continue explaining, lest Kědān feel embarrassed. 。But as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by KouDan. 。"Didn't you say you had something to tell me Just say it, or I'm going home. " 。“

Chi Chuan wanted to minimize Kou Dan's embarrassment as much as possible, but the more he repeated and explained Chi Nian Yi's words, the more embarrassed Kou Dan felt, feeling a sense of sadness. ” 。“Oh, I wanted to formally explain about what happened that day when you confessed to me.” 。Chikawa had always wanted to make things clear that day, to clearly tell Ko-tan that their relationship couldn't progress to lovers, or even love. 。He spoke cautiously, as if treading on eggshells. If Kou Dan shied away from this topic, he would immediately stop. 。"Just say it" 。" Kou Dan's indifference was feigned, but Chi Chuan didn't notice while driving at all. 。Koudan had guessed what Chikawa wanted to say, not from his explanation, but from the way he formally rejected her. 。To say something like that would be like stabbing her again with a knife. 。And Kou Dan's indifference, is knowing that someone wants to harm her, yet watching helplessly, willingly accepting such harm. 。Just to give him a chance to speak his mind, just so he could feel better after saying it. 。"I still have warmth for you in my heart, you know." 。And let me be honest with you, after working together for so many years, besides senior-junior and colleague relationships, I haven't had any other thoughts. 。"So I'm really sorry, that day was also too sudden for me to respond to you in that kind of attitude. 。"So today..."

"So today you formally rejected me, in order to express your importance on this matter, and also let me give up completely, don't bother about whether you are..."

Kou Dan really couldn't stand it anymore, so she opened her mouth to interrupt Chi Chuan.

She had guessed everything that Chi Chuan wanted to say. If these words came out of Chi Chuan's mouth, she wouldn't be able to bear it; it would shatter all the mental preparations she had made beforehand. 。"Kou Dan…" Chi Chuan spoke, he did so out of respect for Kou Dan, to once again formally clarify this matter. 。But he didn't mind her pestering him. 。"... It's too late..."Kou Dan wanted to say something, but she didn't want to give Chi Chuan a chance to speak. 。His words may have been a kind warning, but to Kou Dan they sounded like a blade slicing through bone. 。Such a sharp knife, Koda can't insist on keeping her well-prepared. 。"遲局, I think I've done very well, and I never had any intention of pestering you from the beginning to the end. 。Confession failed, I left without a word. 。Because, isn't it because you're afraid of seeing me embarrassed, afraid of seeing that I'm a burden to you, afraid that you think I'm being thick-skinned and clinging to you 。"Since what I've done is so obvious, please don't say such things anymore. " 。" Today, today I didn't know you would come to the police station. If I had known, I would rather not have come to work. I would rather quit my job than appear before you " 。" ... "

" Kou Dan... "

Chi Chuan couldn't listen anymore, he really didn't mean that.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。He listened, his heart aching. How could he feel anything but pain when Kou Dan spoke those words 。"Later Chief, if you come to the police station for guidance in the future, please let me know in advance so I can step aside and avoid inconveniencing you." 。If you think we might encounter each other again, I request a transfer to another province. 。" In conclusion, I apologize for the trouble my confession caused you. 。Since I made a mistake, I will take responsibility for it and do my best to minimize the impact on you. 。“ Koudan’s emotions were out of control, and she didn't give Chi Chuan any chance to speak at all. 。She believed wholeheartedly that Chikawa didn't want to see her, that she had burdened him with her confession. 。Since Chi Chuan wants to explain what happened that day, Ke Dan has the obligation to correct her attitude and must inform him that she will not disturb him at any time or in any form, it's best to never cross paths again. 。 "You misunderstood me..." Chikawa's heart, which had been aching, now felt a sharp pang of pain. 。He didn't mean that, he wasn't trying to drive her away, and he didn't say she was causing him inconvenience. 。He just wanted to express his thoughts clearly. 。However, when he was eager to explain himself, Kou Dan forcefully interrupted him. 。"Zhiju, I'm home now you should park." 。" Kēodān reminded herself, she dared not let Chí Chuān speak another word. " 。Rejection is rejection, why keep reiterating his stance 。This is hurtful and damaging to one's self-esteem. Doesn't he realize that this would embarrass people 。Chikawa first parked the car steadily, then spoke again. 。"Koudan, give me some time to explain..." 。"...what you said..."

"Sorry I'm late, I was busy..."

And we no longer need time, you speak plainly, and I guarantee. 。Don't worry, I'll keep my word and won't put you in a difficult position. 。" But give me some time, after Qiao Shunchen and Wenwen's conditions stabilize, as well as Tao Chen's, I will transfer my work to a province outside..." 。"

Koudan didn't even know how many times she had interrupted Chi Chuan. She only knew that whenever Chi Chuan opened his mouth to speak, she was afraid, afraid of hearing his heartless explanation >>> 。While speaking, Kou Dan had already opened the car door and got out. 。Before closing the car door and leaving, Kou Dan said another sentence. 。If you like someone, go for it. Don't overthink things too much and don't regret it later. 。"Goodbye for now... no, I mean goodbye forever..." 。" As the sound faded, came the slam of a car door, followed by Kedan's hasty retreat leaving only his back for Zhichuan. 。Chikawa returned home in a bad mood. At this time, his mother was still in the living room and hadn't rested yet. 。All his troubles were written all over his face; Mama would definitely notice and worry if she saw him. 。"What's wrong with your son Wasn't he with KouDan How come he's back so soon""Sent her home and came back." 。"

Chikawa answered listlessly, then weakly threw himself back onto the sofa

"Didn't even treat him to a late-night snack or anything, just sent him straight home" Mama Chi was getting worried, anxious for her son. 。After waiting so many days, KODAN finally came back. How can it be sent directly home 。"Had dinner at the police station and came back, what else to eat for supper" 。Everyone is exhausted after a long day and has no mood for late-night snacks. 。Chikawa's tone was clearly a bit irritable. 。No matter what his mother nagged about, he had never been annoyed or unhappy before. But today, his mood was truly terrible, and he lost control of his emotions. 。But he knew his irritability wasn't because of his mother, but because Kou Dan had misunderstood what he said. 。Right now he was thinking, what if Kou Dan really got transferred to another province What would he do Would it really mean they'd never see each other again Mom heard her son getting a little agitated, so she didn't press him further. But she changed the subject and asked about Kou Dan anyway. 。You hung up the phone in such a hurry, saying you had something to tell KouDan. What did you say Was it to ease the tension between you two 。What doesn't matter is what is said, it's just that the relationship has gotten worse. 。"

“……”

This topic is something Chikawa actually wanted to talk about. He wanted to tell his mother and have her analyze it for him " 。So I recounted their conversation just now. 。"My foolish son, aren't you hurting people again You...you...you are meant to be a chief." 。Your emotional intelligence is not being fully utilized here. You don't even recognize opportunities when they arise. 。When Chi Ma heard her son's words, she was furious. She couldn't believe that her own son could do something so foolish. 。Chi Mama's words left Chi Chuan speechless. 。"I answered too carelessly and insincerely that day. I feel it was disrespectful to her, and I didn't give enough weight to her confession." 。So I want to seriously say my thoughts, there's nothing wrong with that. 。"Rejection is rejection, adding a hundred times won't change the result. Do you think that's meaningful You're hurting someone with one thing over and over again, even two, three, or four times." 。"What do you want The girl has already quit her job and run away, do you really want to force her to go to another province" Chi Ma's heart ached. Her son was so foolish, this wasn't how she had raised him. 。"Son, if you don't like something, just accept it and behave properly. Why go out of your way to hurt others" 。Kou Dan is not a fool. No matter how careless your answer, she understands what you mean. 。“

Late Mama continued to lecture, she had to make sure her son's confused expression was crystal clear. " 。"Even before confessing, people like Kou Dan knew your intentions. Otherwise, they wouldn't have even adjusted their work schedules in advance." 。"Mama Chi helped analyze Kou Dan's thoughts for Chi Chuan, otherwise her son would be confused like this forever. " 。"I get it. Why bother confessing If we confess, things will become awkward between us. She should have thought of that." 。" Chikawa also felt that his head was no longer turning. His mother's words not only didn't make it clear, but made him even more confused. " 。He didn't feel he was wrong anywhere. If his explanation this time was equivalent to another refusal, he could barely understand it. But Koudan knew the results and came to visit him, so he couldn't understand it anymore. 。"People have liked you for many years, can't you give yourself a closure Is it that all these years of unrequited love are just unrequited love, and can't be expressed" 。"Perhaps Kodoan is tired of unrequited love, meaning that he's voicing it to himself as a reason to give up." 。Otherwise, how could she have finished speaking and transferred her job, finished speaking and cut off all contact with you Isn't that just giving up on you 。" Everyone else has given up, and you're still talking about this If I were in her shoes, I would think the same way. " 。”ny matters. 。If we let them continue talking, it'll end in another bitter split. 。If you mess up, you won't even have food to eat. 。"Grandpa, when are we going to eat I'm hungry." 。“ Qiao Yuke looked...
