316 I Donst Need Your Charity 7 (2/2)

Right then, his heart felt like it was clamped by a vice, causing all the air to leave his body in an instant.

The cruel words that he had uttered a few days ago completely undid the close relationship that they had managed to nurture. It was beautiful but not destined to bloom, therefore, it could only wither.

He would never again hear her say, ”Su Zhinian, I have a favor to ask…”

In reality, he shouldn't feel sad. After all, this was what he wanted; this was how he wished it would end.

However, he couldn't stop his heart from breaking. He wished desperately that she would trouble him for life, but he knew when their story reached the end, the person standing beside her could never be him.

…

Song Qingchun was woken up by her alarm early the next morning. She jumped out of bed, washed her face and teeth, and then ran downstairs to prepare breakfast. When she went up to call Su Zhinian; it was 7 am, her time of freedom.

Song Qingchun stood beside his bedroom door and knocked. ”Breakfast's ready.”

The room beyond the door was quiet, and there was no answer. She assumed Su Zhinian was still sleeping, so she returned to her bedroom. She didn't plan to stray far from his house, so she merely grabbed her wallet and her phone and shoved them into her bag before leaving her bedroom.

She left a note on Su Zhinian's bedroom door before leaving.

Song Qingchun put on a pair of high heels at the front door, but after realizing the mall wouldn't be opened so early in the morning, she switched them out for a pair of flats. She decided to go to the nearby park for a little jog instead.
