Ch 34 : Dying slowly
“Why not lie toback a step
“If you wantyou say”
He shook his head “I admit that I have concealed a lot of stuff , but I have never tried to make a fool of you”
“Is there a difference?”
He looked down and see time before he looked up
“Is there anything that I can say or do that can save our relationshi+p?”
“ It’s i is impossible
“ Even if I love you, I will never destroy soe”
“ I’s to turn out this way”
His voice was low and dull “Before you came in my life, I had never fallen in love with anyone I don’t even knohat the right thing to do is when you love soht I could do whatever I wanted – to love you, to protect you… I never expected that I would end up hurting you instead If I had known that I would hurt you so deeply, I would rather”
“You don’t need to say that again”
I didn’t want to listen to all that again
As I watched hiht of how sad I hen I first came face to face with the cruel reality in Yu Yin’s home
When he told me that he was Yu Yin’s fiancée , my heart ached as if it had been s could be more painful than that
But now, I realised that I had underesti to be just called ‘pain’
This feeling was nothing co I had felt before When the person you loved, the man you believed in, told you that he loved you but could not be with you, the feeling was farthan pain
In silence, I walked away He did not try to hold me back
He just asked ive me ?”
“When you die”, I said
And so our relationshi+p ended on an extrely note
I couldn’t cry or laugh
Soer But my tears had dried
Ye Zhengchen did not try to find ain
But soe enature It would only contain an attach, with sohted in red
I would download and read it closely
I also received a package from Tokyo It was a pack of Leonidas chocolates, paid by cash and no sender’s address
The chocolate was still soft and fragrant but I could no longer taste the sweetness
Once, on my way home, the chain onalmost an hour to reach back
The net day, I asked at college where I could get someone to repair the chain I came back, ready to push the bike all the way to the repair shop when I found that the bike had been repaired
Not only had the chain been replaced, the brakes had been repaired and the chain had been lubricated so the bike ran smoothly
…… …
That day, as I observed the bacteria in the laboratory, I went into a trance and forgot the time
I understood what he did, but I didn’t understand why he would do so Why did he want to rescuethese little things for s from him ?
It hen I suddenly realised that the lights were off on the whole floor that I real
ised it was al
I came out of the lab , took off my protective suit and stood in front of the elevator
The whole floor was in dead silence and from time to time, the smell of disinfectant drifted to my nose
I crossedto ward off the chill
When the elevator came, the door opened and I hurriedly stepped forward, only to immediately stand back, dumbfounded
Ye Zhengchen stood inside, still with his lab coat on He always lookedinviolable in that suit, alht
I looked at him I had never missed a person as badly as I missed him nowI wanted to stand close to him, but I could only stare…
The elevator door closed at that ain
I stood un He stood still We maintained our respective distances
I noticed the watch on his wrist It was the seagull watch, it’s second hands quietly ticking away
Quietly, I putmy sleeves to hide my wrist…
Tiave off a sharp warning sound Five tenthe sounds of the elevator were harsh enough to draw his attention He let go of the door
The heavy door closed in front of us, like the heavy hands of fate that closes a door, never to reopen it again
My tears finally fell I covered ers in an unending stream
I wanted to get in the elevator with hi to hi else in ed to hold him in my arms, if only for a second
The elevator opened again I covered my face with my hand and walked in
By the tichen was in the elevator, it was too late to go out, too late to wipe my tears and too late to hide the watch with my sleeve
I simply moved to the corner and stood there with my head down
