This night felt exceptionally long.
The next day at dawn, Zuo Hong went to work as usual. After work, he went to the mall to buy a gift and then headed to Zoe Lewis's house.
Unexpectedly, he was turned away!
There wasn't anyone at her home!
Zuo Hong suspected that Zoe had done it on purpose, knowing he was coming and deliberately took her parents out.
Did he offend her so deeply?
So much so that she would rather go out than see him.
Zuo Hong looked at the gift he brought with a bitter smile. Yesterday's gift was for Zoe's mother, but today's was specially picked for her.
It was a bouquet of roses and a ring.
He sat in his car, waiting until it was dark, but still didn't see Zoe or her family return.
The lights of each house twinkled in the night. Zuo Hong tossed the roses into a trash can and drove home.
Mrs. Zuo saw him coming home late and joyfully asked, "Son, did you go with Little Zoe? Yes, you should spend more time with her!"
Zuo Hong replied flatly, "No."
