Chapter 103 - The Distant Past (2/2)

There was an awkward silence between them. Xinyi didn't want him asking more questions so she quickly said, ”I will check if the breakfast is ready.”

”En…” he knew she was evading the topic.

Xinyi locked the diary in her drawer and quickly left, leaving Zhiyuan alone in the room. He silently let out a breath as he closed his eyes.

Shuang woke up when she heard a knock at the door. She suddenly got up and looked left and right. As she saw the hotpot that had turned cold, she finally realized that she fell asleep.

That meant Yunru hadn't returned the entire night. She silently stared at the wall, expressionless.

She heard someone knocking again and she snapped out.

Is it Yunru?

Shuang quickly opened the door, but to her disappointment, it was a postman. ”Mam, a courier for you.”

”Hm…”

She collected the packet and went back inside. She collapsed on the couch, now staring at the ceiling. She thought she would sort it out over their dinner together, but it failed. He hadn't even replied to her message.

”I know I made a mistake, Yunru. I am sorry that I hurt, you but that doesn't mean you stop talking to me. If we don't sort this out, we can never settle this. How long do you want to avoid me? Will you not let me even apologize now?” She was mumbling to herself.

But she didn't get any answer. She was all alone in the house. Her own question echoed in the room. Shuang gritted her teeth.

”Fine then. Suit yourself! Your bad that you missed such a great hotpot meal from yours truly. Now even if you beg, I won't make it again.”

Shuang shut her eyes and tried to calm down. She bit her lower lip.

This was the first time that they had gotten into an argument like that. For seven years, things were smooth sailing between them. Even if Yunru knew about her feelings for Xiaosi, things never turned sour between them.

”After all, it's just a casual relationship between us, isn't it?”

Shuang clearly remembered that night of the graduation party. After how Xiaosi begged her for help, she had been aimlessly walking down the street, lost in her pain. Her heart was ripped into pieces, knowing the task she had to do tomorrow.

Tomorrow, Xiaosi was going to marry Caihong and the last hope of anything possibly happening between them was going to disappear.

At that time, Yunru was the one who silently sat beside her on a bench in a deserted park and...

Shuang suddenly snapped out of that distant memory. She took a deep breath.

”Well if you are gonna avoid me like this then I will force you to look at me. If you won't meet me then I will come to meet you myself. Let's see how you avoid me at the police station!”
