Chapter 28 (2/2)

“ Girl?”

I finally unbuckled the band I took off the watch and put it in his hand Then I said, “ Let’s break up!”

He had told ht to call it off whenever I wanted This was the only right I had…

I walked away I looked up at the sky The tears had stopped falling

This time, he didn’t try to catch up with me

We were finished, completely and utterly finished

Were we completely done?

The thought of us really ending with cold finality er able to support the rest of my body

I sped upto escape quickly

But suddenly, the earth started spinning around me…

Silently, I cru me up

After that, I blanked out

…… …

In my dreaue, he stubbornly invadeddown my dry throat

My sto the discomfort in my stomach ease up

Again and again, I tried to open my eyes to see who this person was, to confirchen , but my eyelids refused to open

Finally, I fell asleep

…… …

When I woke up again, I was lying onat my bedside

When he saw that I had woken up, he offered lass of milk

I sat up and sneered, “ Isn’t it too late now?”

“ First drink the milk, then we can talk about what happened”

“ I have nothing to say to you Please get out!”

He took a big mouthful of the milk I froze for a moment Before I could react, he leaned over and kissed me

The sweet ry and tired, but I resisted sing

He put down the cup and encircledmy body closer to his

He had never kissed me like that I couldn’t breathe, so I yielded and opened my mouth to s the milk

When he reached his goal, he took the cup froly at me

When a ue, there is little anyone can do

I had no choice but to take the cup froulp down the milk

Once I had finished, I felt a lot more comfortable Clearly, he had added some medicine to the milk

He sat up and started to speak slowly,” I am sorry, I should not have hidden this from you”

“After all that has happened, what is the point of saying sorry now?”

Everything between us is over, I kept repeating to et it

“ Yu Yin and I don’t have the kind of relationshi+p you think we do”

He looked at me sincerely and directly, a look anyone would think was trustworthy

“ Her father and mine are close friends and Yu Yin and I were classe”

I was shocked “You know her for so long?”

“ Yes, for more than a decade”

“ Childhood sethearts?”, I smiled ironically

My hand secretly clenched the cup, waiting for him to continue

“ I adirl and even my parents like her But I hate it if soe together, naturally, I conored Yu Yin”

I suddenly re So and unavoidable

“ Two years ago, they wanted me to accompany Yu Yin to study in japan I refused flatly But they still sent her over… do you remember that on the day of my birthday, a woman had called me?”

I nodded and continued to listen to him

“ That day, she landed in Osaka and called h I really didn’t like her, I didn’t have the heart to leave her alone at the airport I put her up in a hotel and ca I would discuss with you on what I should do But you were drunk and you kept saying, ‘ One day e break up…’”

“ I knew then that you didn’t trust me That you had too many misconceptions about me”

Ye Zhengchen sighed

“ After all, we had been together for only a short period of tis of insecurity I worried that you would not be able to accept the existence of Yu Yin and that you would leave ed a place to stay for her”

Quietly, he pulled ed me Then he said, “ I wanted to wait till you trusted me some more and Yu Yin familiarised herself in Osaka so she could take care of herself Then I would tell you everything In theI didn’t expect to bump into her at the convenience store I didn’t kno to explain all this to you so I pretended ere strangers”

I could get a little inkling of what had gone through hishe had conveniently missed

“She likes you, doesn’t she?”

“ It’s e”, he s with a woman who likes me , so I pretended not to know her at the store”

“ Do you really not like her?”

“ If I liked her, I would have brought her with o Why wait for her to come now after I met you?”

He sighed again,” Girl, we have been together for so long now You should know s for Yu Yin, I would tell you directly, ould I want to deceive you?”

If what he said was true, then it didn’t seeivable mistake

But Yu Yin had said that when I got to know of their relationshi+p, I would leave him

And Ye Zhengchen sees

I had a feeling that he was hiding so very critical

“ You haven’t slept with her have you ?”
