Anthon felt the inner struggle unable to be hidden, and his conversation with Jege became more profound. He took a deep breath and spoke with a hint of pain, "Jege, I really don't know what's wrong with me. I... I seem to have developed inappropriate feelings for Haohao, and it's troubling me. I don't know how to face it."
Upon hearing Anthon's confession, Jege's expression became unusually serious. He stopped all movement and focused on Anthon, his gaze seeming to penetrate the heart, searching for the deeper meaning behind Anthon's words. Jege's direct and profound gaze made Anthon feel understood in a way he had never experienced before.
Anthon felt a wave of inexplicable shyness and unease under Jege's scrutinizing gaze. He lowered his head slightly and continued, "This feeling makes me very uneasy. I don't want to ruin our friendship, nor do I want my emotions to affect our collaboration."
Jege nodded slowly, his voice becoming gentle and empathetic, "I understand you, Anthon. Dealing with such emotions is indeed difficult, especially when it involves friends and work partners. But you have already taken the first step, which is acknowledging your feelings."
He gently patted Anthon's shoulder, trying to offer him support and comfort: "There's no need to rush to find a solution. Sometimes, understanding your own feelings and taking time to give yourself some space to comprehend these emotions. You are not alone in facing these things."
Anthon listened to Jege's words and felt the heavy burden in his heart lighten slightly. Jege's understanding and support made him feel less lonely. He slowly lifted his head, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you, Jege. Hearing you say that makes me feel much better."
Jege saw Anthon's slightly relaxed expression and smiled gently, patting Anthon's thigh in an attempt to guide the conversation in a more relaxed manner. "Don't overthink it, Anthon. Just let things flow naturally," he said, his voice carrying an undeniable warmth and certainty.
Then he became serious again, his tone more earnest. "You know, emotions can't be forced. We can't control who we fall in love with, and it's hard to explain why it happens. But what's important is that you can't let these emotions affect your life, especially your happiness and mental health."
Jege paused for a moment to ensure that Anthon could digest his words, then continued, "If you find that you truly cannot shake off these feelings, it might be a good choice to temporarily keep some distance from Haohao. This isn't running away, but giving yourself some space to think clearly and handle your emotions."
Jege's advice, though direct, comes from a deep understanding and concern for Anthon's situation. He hopes that Anthon can find the best way to deal with complex emotions, rather than letting these feelings become a burden in his life.
Anthon listened to these words and felt a bit shaken. He knew that Jege was making sense, and this rational advice was exactly what he needed to hear at this moment. He looked at Jege with a hint of gratitude and seriousness in his eyes, slowly nodded, and although he still struggled inside, he began to consider giving himself some time and space to truly understand his feelings and future choices.
Anthon sat on a bench in the park. Although the night breeze was gentle, it couldn't calm the turmoil in his heart. The suggestion made by Jege - to temporarily keep a distance from Haohao - stirred up a huge wave in his heart. This was a choice he had never truly considered, because in his life, Haohao was not just a business partner, but also an irreplaceable close friend.
Anthon feels like he is standing at a crossroads, with every direction filled with unknowns and doubts. He tries to recall every happy moment he shared with Haohao, the carefree laughter and the synergy they had while working together, but these memories have now become a source of pain for him. The inner struggle makes it almost impossible for him to breathe, and every time he considers the possibilities for the future, it feels like another wound is being carved into his heart.
Despite Anthon trying to maintain composure in front of Jege, attempting to hide his confusion and fear, his forced smile appears so fragile and powerless in Jege's eyes. Jege doesn't press him to discuss the issue further, instead sitting quietly beside him, giving him the space and time he needs.
The night sky in the park is vast and deep, and the quiet environment makes every breath unusually clear. Jege finally broke the silence, his voice deep and powerful: "Anthon, whatever your decision is, I will support you. Face your emotions, understand them, and don't rush to make any decisions. Sometimes time is the best healer, and perhaps in the near future, you will have a clearer view of everything."
Jege's words, though simple, resonated strongly in Anthon's heart. He appreciated Jege's understanding and support, making him feel less alone in this long night. A hint of gratitude flashed in Anthon's eyes as he softly responded, "Thank you, Jege. With you by my side, I don't feel as lost and lonely." Despite the uncertainty of the future, he learned to accept this uncertainty and to find a sense of calm in the midst of the storm.
As the night deepened, Jege looked around and then stood up, dusting himself off. He turned to Anthon and said with a smile, "Since you'll be going on a business trip tomorrow for several days, let's indulge tonight! How about going for a late-night snack nearby?"
Upon hearing the suggestion, Anthon felt a stir in his heart. He actually found the company of Jege quite comfortable, and tonight's conversation had brought him a rare sense of solace. Plus, after a heavy conversation, he indeed needed some lighthearted moments. Looking at Jege's cheerful face, Anthon thought that the suggestion was indeed quite good.
"What's wrong with that?" Anthon replied, his voice carrying a hint of relieved laughter. "I feel like we get along pretty well, and it's the perfect time to go for a late-night snack," he added with a smile.
Jege became even happier after hearing this. He led Anthon out of the park and towards the nearby famous street food area. The two of them chatted easily in the cool night breeze, and Anthon's mood gradually relaxed, feeling like tonight might be a good night. Their steps were light and brisk as they headed towards a place that could temporarily make them forget their worries.
