985 Leave Before I Return 5 (2/2)

Even though she had not had a bite since morning, Cheng Qingchong didn't feel hungry. She closed the laptop and sat with her legs crossed on the bed, looking at the night sky out the window for a long time before getting down off the bed to use the bathroom.

When she was in the shower, Cheng Qingchong saw through the reflection of the bathroom window the clustered kiss marks all over her body. They reminded her of how gentle Qin Yinan had been when kissing her on the nameless hill the previous night, and her hand that held the showerhead shivered violently.

That passionate love-making that she had mistaken as love was nothing more than his revenge. She had thought that night would mark the beginning of a new and wonderful phase of her life, but it was the start of a nightmare.

An indescribable pain and heavy despair twisted itself around Cheng Qingchong's chest. It was so heavy that it squeezed the breath out of her. She forced herself to look away from the mirror and focus on cleaning her body. She grabbed the towel to wipe her body, put on her pajamas, crawled into bed, and turned off the light. The room was dark. She stared at the ceiling, and tears involuntarily fell onto the pillow.

That morning, before him, she didn't dare to cry.

When she left, there were other people outside the elevator, so she still didn't dare to cry.

Now, in the middle of the night, even when she was alone, she didn't dare to cry out loud.

Actually, she wasn't a crier because no one would have cared about her tears.

Last night, she couldn't stop herself from crying before Qin Yinan, and it was then that she realized she had considered him a confidant, and that was why she dared to cry before him. Alas, it was all a show. His kind action of wiping away her tears was added insult to injury.

Cheng Qingchong really wanted to will herself to stop crying because no one would have cared if she died crying. Alas, her tears simply refused to stop.
