92 Strawberry and Chocolate (2/2)

”Ah Lui, was it because of what happened at the hotel? Actually, we did…” Xia Ruoxin was trying to tell him that nothing happened between her and that man at the hotel that night. Her conscience was clear. She had done nothing wrong.

”I'm tired.” Chu Lui cut her off coldly. ”I will sleep in the guest room tonight. Do not disturb me. And, that cake. Yixuan's favorite was chocolate, not strawberry.”

He walked over, took the cake, and released his hand. The cake fell into the trash bin. Just like that, the cake landed inside the trash bin.

With his hands by his side, he walked in the direction of the guest room without a back glance at Xia Ruoxin. His back spoke volumes of indescribable heartlessness and indifference. If only he could just turn around and glance at her, then he would have seen the woman with her broken heart. If only he could take one more look at her, he would have seen the woman behind him in tears. Alas, he did nothing.

Xia Ruoxin stared at Chu Lui's back until she heard the door closed. As her eyelashes quivered, she felt her eyes warmed, and tears blurred her vision. However, her tears were cold.

She turned back, looked at the cake that he had discarded in the trash bin, and shook her head silently. Tears flowed down her chin like a river. Endless and unstoppable.

No, Chu Lui. Xia Yixuan's favorite was chocolate. Then again, Xia Ruoxin's had been strawberry. She had always loved strawberry.

She sat numbly at the sofa and stared at the cutlery on the table. The knife was to be used to cut the cake. Except now, there was no use for it.

She had spent a few hours preparing, a day of waiting, and a few days of expecting. In the end, this was the result she got.

What really went wrong with them?
