103 Sacrifice (2/2)

He bent on Lei Xinyi level and kissed her cheeks then did the same to Su Qing. Smiling at them he left for his work.

Su Qing was glaring at the other girls on the runaway on the screen and threw dumplings on the screen and muttered,”Bitches!”

”So... You and Yu Jian?” Lu Xinyi said with blushing red cheeks and shy smile without making eye contact.

Su Qing was momentarily shocked. She was blushing! The brazen woman who would do the most audacious of things blandly was blushing! What has the world come to be!

Getting out of her trance, Su Qing looked at Lu Xinyi with a confused face and scrunched brows.”Me and him what?”

”You guys are... dating.”

And Su Qing thought she couldn't go any more redder but Lu Xinyi literally looked like a tomato she was bashfully smiling. If Su Qing didn't know better she would think she was a bashful virgin.

As Su Qing was amusing on her thought, Lu Xinyi words registered in her head and she choked on the air she was breathing.

”What the f*ck?! Who is spewing this nonsense?” Su Qing literally shouted getting a hold of her breathing.

Lu Xinyi was slightly shocked at her outburst and flinched, then blinked her doe eyes innocently, and whispered, ”Brother Qin told me that.”

Su Qing snorted, and shook her head, ”No, no, no and a final no. I am not dating that asshole! You get it?”

”But Brother Qin said...”

”Damn your Brother Qin! I just f*ck him sometimes, for goodness sake!” Su Qing exasperatedly said.

Lu xInyi looked at her with blushing cheeks and blush that was creeping on her ears tips and neck now, ”If you do... it with him doesn't it mean that you are... dating?”

Su Qing switched off the screen and threw the remote on the table, ”The guy you f*ck and the guy you love are two different people. Love is like Russian roulette, a risk. one out of five chance you would drop dead but getting physical you are giving nothing but your time to someone. It's just you using someone to let some steam off.”

Lu Xinyi looked at her for a moment, examining her face for any emotion that would give her away.

It was an obvious fact that when a woman bare her nakedness to a man, she also bares her depth and soul and no woman bare her soul to just anyone.

”So you don't love him?”

Su Qing scoffed, ”For the record I did like him back then and It doesn't matter if I like him or not. He has a lot of b*tches on his beck and call and his mother don't like me. So, we can't be together.”

Lu Xinyi looked at her with pursed lips and observed the emotions on her face. It was obvious she liked him.

Lu Xinyi felt bad for her. Although she didn't know who she was and she was a little strong for her taste but she had come to find a true fried in her and a little brother in He Zheng.

They weren't kind of people that would offer the kindest of words to you on a bad day but make sure to put effort in making it good for you.

They offered her a kind of comfort nobody else did. Su Qing was an A-lister actress and model and He Zheng was a genius that earned millions in a week but still they stayed casual in front of her and didn't judge her.

”You are afraid to fall.” Lu Xinyi concluded.

Su Qing shook her head with a mocking smile, ”Falling doesn't scare me, being the only one who falls does.”

A tear slid down her cheek, ”Bring on stake everything you have and any woman in love would do that because that's how we love. We express love with sacrifice. That's why in the old era a woman left her family, lifestyle and sometimes even country for the man she marries.”

”But putting on stake everything that you have for a kind of man who will never do the same is scary. In fact it's barbaric and cruel. As much as a healthy relationship requires consent, it requires sacrifice from both sides or else the relation is.... toxic.”

Lu Xinyi looked deep in thought before nodding. It was only fair that the relation was being held together by two people together and not by abusing one person's devotion.

”So.. you think he wouldn't sacrifice for you?”

”No, I think he would then again I just don't know if it's because I am delusional or plain crazy but I don't want to take risk with my heart. Not again.” Su Qing muttered.

When she fell in love she would remeber this. Love and relationships are different. Love may but relationships don't survive toxicity.
