Lu Yanchen’s emotions were complex right now as well, not knowing what he should say.
“Ever since I was with you, you’ve been really nice to me… so nice that I even forgot what I wanted to do. But later on, you suddenly initiated the breakup, and I did not even know what I said at all while I was drunk! Even though I was clearly the one who caused it all, I acted as though it was all you who had let me down! Did you feel that I was crazy at that time?”
“No!” He denied.
“Even if you did, it’s fine… I won’t blame you. Even though I begrudged and hated you after the breakup, I never once regretted meeting you. It was because you were there that my youth was ever so dazzling,” Shi Guang felt her throat hurting slightly as she said that and furrowed her brows, gripping her chin and coughing slightly.
Lu Yanchen was merely listening to her silently. When he realized she had not said anything for some time, he just hugged her tightly.
Their bodies were fully cold earlier on. But now that they were warmer, he suddenly realized that her body temperature was somewhat high as he moved his hand to touch her forehead. Instantly, his eyes were filled with shock and worry. “You’re running a fever?”
Shi Guang froze for a moment and touched her own forehead before shaking her head. “I don’t think so? I still feel rather fine.”
Why did he have to mention fever out of nowhere? Now, she WAS indeed feeling a little giddy after he said that.
“I would often ponder at times as well. If I had not left back then, if I had not attended that competition and was the first person that you saw after I saved you, would your grandfather have arranged a marriage for the both of us as well? Would you treat me the same way you treated Yang Sitong…?”
“Of course not!” He replied firmly, “Naturally, when I first met her, I felt that she wasn’t like the girl who had saved me.”
“Not like you saw me at all!” Shi Guang’s face was getting redder by the moment, seeming as though a scarlet gleam was illuminating from her from the flare of the fire ahead.
“I did not see you, but I felt you,” He caressed her cheeks with his cold hand. “And the very first time I saw you, I had a feeling.”
“Then why did you have me chase after you for that long?” She asked in displeasure.
“That’s because I did not want to like you at that time.”
Shi Guang of course knew why—he had a fiancée at that time. He felt that he should not fall in love with other girls since he had her.
He shut his eyes tightly once more before continuing, “I considered the fact that I might have been mistaken as well. And thus, I heeded my grandpa’s words and headed to Yang Sitong’s school to build my relationship with her. Coincidentally, I ran into her bullying your sister. It was at that moment that I knew that there was no way I could accept a girl like that.”
“You saw her bullying my sister?!” Shi Guang’s heart sank down as she sat upright and looked at him in shock. She pushed him away, somewhat infuriated. “Why did you not intervene and help my sister then? At least call the cops or something! Campus violence is against the law!”
She thought about that period of time when her sister was suffering in silence for the longest period and instantly hated herself for not realizing it earlier.
“I’m sorry! I wasn’t from that school. If I were to step in for your sister, they would definitely take even more extreme measures against her after I was gone!” His eyes were still shut tightly as he faced her silently. “The reason why I did not call the cops was because at that time, I was still under the impression that she had saved me at the very least. It was just that I would have never expected that the reason why she bullied your sister was because…”
Shi Guang scoffed out bitterly, feeling extremely terrible in her heart.
Could she be completely alright with Lu Yanchen’s indifference back then?
No way…
It’s fine if it was anyone else. Why did it have to be him…?
