Ch136 - Wen Ruoyi, let’s break up (2/2)
Please visit chrysanthemumgarden.com
Xue Ling’s fever still hadn’t receded. His face was a little red and his lips were pale, making him look rather haggard. “Wen Ruoyi.”
It was the first time that Ning Simu had called him by his full name. Wen Ruoyi suddenly gathered his wits together, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a little frightened.
“Let’s break up.”
The teenager was sitting on the bed, still wearing the jacket he had casually thrown on this morning. The redness in his eyes was even more evident because he had just woken up, and his short, curly hair was in a mess, making him appear somewhat lovely. But his expression was not good at all. Because he was sick, his lips were tinged white, his face was slightly red, and his eyes were watery and pitiful, as if he was about to cry.
Nevertheless, his gaze as he looked at Wen Ruoyi was cold and indifferent. And then, he opened his mouth and said to him. “Let’s break up.”
This sentence echoed in Wen Ruoyi’s ear several times before he suddenly woke up from his trance. He stared at Ning Simu in disbelief, his gaze sharp. Although this relationship had begun at his suggestion, and the two of them had entered the relationship with the attitude of ‘giving it a try’, he knew that this youngster more or less depended on him a little. In the past, it had been evident from the gaze that he used to look at him.
Now that he thought about it, Wen Ruoyi carefully looked at the youngster’s eyes. His moist eyes looked pitiful, but in fact it was particularly clear. His gaze even carried a hint of indifference, and it was precisely this slight indifference that made Wen Ruoyi’s heart tremble violently. He didn’t know why, but it hurt quite a bit.

“Why?” Wen Ruoyi was somewhat anxious as he asked this. “Is it because of the haters from before? I’ve already talked to management and told them to make those people stop messing around. Relax, I won’t let you be involved like that again.”
Xue Ling shook his head. He was extremely calm as he sat there, stable and firm. It served to make Wen Ruoyi seem even more flustered and confused. “It’s not because of this matter.”
“Then…”
“Wen Ruoyi, I really like you. I like that you are very gentle when you talk to me, I like it when you smile at me, as though I am your world. I also know that you are interested in me, but you don’t really like me.” Xue Ling’s expression was blank as he spoke these words, and it looked as though he had truly given up. “But that didn’t matter. I could wait until you really began to like me. I feel that I’m good enough to be able to bind you firmly to me, and the day where you begin to appreciate me would eventually come.”
“What about now…”
“But the premise for all this is that the person you might fall in love with is me. And not someone that you think of when you see my face. For my man to be looking at another person… I, Ning Simu, might be lacking in love, I might be disappointed, but I really can’t be a substitute for you and allow you to find the shadow of someone else’s figure in me.”
Wen Ruoyi opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but Ning Simu’s next sentence blocked anything he could say. “His name is Mu Sichao, right? I saw him when I went to see you yesterday.”
“I’m still quite self-aware. The gaze you use to look at him is different from how you look at me. You like him.”
Wen Ruoyi shook his head and said, “I don’t.”
“Now that he has someone he likes, and they’re going to be together, you’re looking for someone as a substitute to fill the gap in your heart, right?” Every word that he spoke was like a knife, and they stabbed straight into Wen Ruoyi’s heart. He had really had this intention at first, so he didn’t even know how to open his mouth to refute at all. “I may lack love, but I would be better off without this kind of love.”
“So. Wen Ruoyi, let’s break up.”
Wen Ruoyi wanted to reach out and hold Xue Ling’s hand, but he dodged it. “If I haven’t said it clearly enough, I can say it again.”
“No…” Wen Ruoyi did not know how he should explain things to him now. He could only look at him helplessly, then let out a sigh and say, “It’s not what you think, but you won’t listen to my explanation now… And you’re still sick, alas…”
Wen Ruoyi had more to say, but Xue Ling disdained the fact that he seemed to still want to argue and debate, and simply drove him out.

Xue Ling got up and moved around a little. He felt a lot better, but he still needed try and garner some sympathy by acting pitiful, so he took a selfie of himself eating medicine and posted it on Weibo.
[ Twilight Darling (v): I’ve been too tired recently, and got sick. I was even feverish for a while this morning when I woke up… [grievance] [grievance] [grievance] ]
Only after sending out his Weibo message did Xue Ling discover that he had gained thousands of fans overnight. He raised his eyebrows and went to check the song he sent out last night. He found that it had been placed on the front page of the video website, and the comments filled up the screen as it played. Because too many messages had been left, many of them had already been cleared once.
Nevertheless, this was unable to block out the girls’ enthusiasm as they sent comments saying they wanted to give birth to Xue Ling’s monkeys, or that their ears had already gotten pregnant, one after another without end.
Shortly after his Weibo message was sent out, he received a lot of comments. Many of them sent words of comfort when they saw that he had fallen ill, and the girls who had hated on him in a frenzy two days ago had all done an about face. It was probably because they had been told off by their manager, so they obediently came over to apologize to Xue Ling, saying that they had spoken too much before, and would delete their words.
Xue Ling clicked on the profile of the person who had forwarded his Weibo message and discovered that many of his followers had come from Gentleman’s Twilight’s re-blog. It seemed that almost as soon as he had sent it out, Wen Ruoyi had already forwarded the message. Judging from the time, Wen Ruoyi probably hadn’t returned home yet – he probably saw it on the way.

Xue Ling pouted. But instead of paying any attention to him, he simply unfollowed him, removed him from the list of mutual followers, and conveniently blocked him as an afterthought.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Having waited for a long time without receiving a response, Wen Ruoyi comforted himself that Ning Simu must just be in a bad mood at the moment. He would wait two days, and after that, he would be ready to listen to his explanation.
He was innocent! He really had not thought to use Ning Simu as a substitute!
