The discarded cigarette butt rolled onto the ground, scattering tiny sparks, with a few wisps of white smoke quickly extinguished.
Gu Yuan hadn't expected that the first thing Quan Jin would say upon seeing her was that he hadn't smoked.
Was this his way of explaining to her?
Besides explaining that he didn't smoke, what would he say next?
Gu Yuan quietly looked at him, waiting for his next words, while her silence seemed like a huge mountain pressing down on Quan Jin, leaving him visibly at a loss. Thinking she didn't believe him, he explained again, "I really didn't smoke, just let it burn without taking a puff."
Gu Yuan: "..."
She thought he had something to say to her, but the two sentences were just explaining he hadn't smoked.
Cigarettes are easy to get addicted to, but whether in the past or now, she never interfered with Chi Yu's smoking. He didn't smoke not because he didn't like it, but because he was disciplined enough not to rely on nicotine to relieve anxiety.
