Si Zhengting felt as if his whole brain was in a daze.
With his body frozen, he heard Si Jingyu’s voice continue over the phone, “I should have known earlier to wonder why the style was so different this time around… It was just that…”
It was just that she hadn’t been feeling great, and her only goal was to quickly finish the design drafts and leave Beijing.
Si Jingyu didn’t reveal these thoughts; instead, she said, “It’s my fault. Don’t blame her, Zhengting, both of you have to be alright. It wasn’t easy for both of you to get together, so don’t let this come between you two…”
But…
He had already misunderstood her.
He cast his mind back to the day when she had excitedly run to tell him about the design drafts and when she had become downcast after hearing what he had said. He thought once more of when she had cried so indignantly outside the convenience store, when she had run to their old high school and sat down on the floor dejectedly without regard for any decorum… and this period of time where people pointed their fingers at her wherever she went… and she was a proud person!
The scenes flashed through his mind, causing him to shake and making him speechless.
She had suffered so much in the past five years.
When he had heard the words of the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, he had set his heart on giving her happiness for the rest of her life.
But why… why was he still the one who hurt her the most?
What had he said that day?
“Zhuang Nainai, I really want to strangle you to death.”
Those mindless words had come out in the heat of the moment; how sad must she have been when he said that!
At this very moment, he would exchange everything he had in order to retract those words.
But words were never retractable.
It was just like how the hurt that she had given him five years ago had never dissipated.
Would she ever get over the hurt he had caused her?
Stunned, Si Zhengting stood rooted to the ground. For the first time in his life, he felt as if something was out of his control. There were many ways he could try to make her return to him, but his mind was blank, and all he could think of was her determination in walking away from him and the words she had said earlier: “This is not the life I want.”
This was not the life she wanted. Did that mean that she was truly going to leave him this time around?
Si Zhengting gripped his cell phone, feeling the spasms in his heart that seemed to tell him that a piece of his heart was disappearing permanently.
“Zhengting, Zhengting…”
Si Jingyu’s voice over the phone pulled him back to reality.
Finally regaining his rationality, he heard Si Jingyu’s urgent voice coming over from the other end. “… did you misunderstand Nainai? Or did you do anything to make her unhappy? Zhengting, women can’t bear to be hurt. If there’s anything wrong, make sure you clear it up with her and go apologize! In love, there’s no such thing as dignity. Zhengting, do you understand me?”
There’s no dignity in love…
Si Zhengting violently regained himself. In his confusion, his gaze was like that of a lost child. “Sister, I understand.”
Putting down the phone, he strode forward.
He was going to tell her that he loved her so much that he couldn’t lose her. He was going to ask for her forgiveness!
