“But you were everything to me, I was begging you please don’t go…”
But how could I bear with the pain of your absence? So I’m constantly pleading for you not to leave…
Taylor Swift’s Love story was her favourite song, so she set it as her ringtone.
She had always thought of it as a cheerful song but at this moment, upon hearing the lyrics, another wave of tears surged forth from her eyes.
The figure on the bed moved, stretched out her hands, and slowly tried to reach the phone left on the bed.
In the darkness, the light from the cell phone screen stabbed her eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao had to squint to see the name on the screen. It wasn’t him…
Her nose twitched and the tears poured down again. The cell phone screen displayed Qiqing’s name, but Mu Xiaoxiao had no desire to pick it up.
She merely stared at the name until the phone stopped ringing and silence was once again restored in the room. After Yin Shaojie’s departure from the condo, she had called him several times but he did not pick up.
He was definitely still angry, wasn’t he?
She traced their history. She had known Yin Shaojie since childhood and they had fought before but this one seemed to be their biggest fight ever.
Mu Xiaoxiao still failed to fathom: how did they come to fight so severely? How did things turn out this way when one day had barely pa.s.sed?
Her eyes were dry and sore from crying.
However, her tears were unstoppable. Her brain kept replaying his last words.
Nonetheless, she knew very well that Yin Shaojie was hurting inside as he said those words.
How deep was his anger that he could bring himself to utter those words?
Sorrow gripped her heart so tightly that she was almost unable to breathe.
Someone as self-centred as Yin Shaojie should be br.i.m.m.i.n.g with self-confidence, especially with regards to her. He could claim that he doted on her since they were young and that he had been devoted to her. Therefore, he was always sure that no one could ever steal her from his side and was even more certain they were a match made in heaven.
But he had said that she was actually destined to be with someone else instead …
Mu Xiaoxiao clutched her aching chest and wept. Why would he not listen to her explanation?
She was very clear on whom she loved! She had always been very clear!
As for Ah Ze, she had always merely regarded Ah Ze as a best friend.
Her phone lit up again. It was yet another call from Qiqing.
Mu Xiaoxiao sniffled and picked up the call this time.
She did not say a single word out of fear that the hoa.r.s.eness in her voice could be heard.
The moment the line connected, Qiqing complained instantly, “Xiaoxiao, I swear I am going crazy today. I feel like my entire being has been drained after a full day of exams. Boohoo, you know what’s worse? I think I didn’t do too well in the exams, but I don’t feel like going to tutoring. What do I do…”
After venting, Qiqing circled back to the original topic.
“Eh, oh yeah! Xiaoxiao, did you get your clothes from the seamstress today? How did the clothes turn out? Your birthday is coming the day after tomorrow and the Yin Family would definitely have planned out and prepared a birthday feast for you, am I right? How are you going to execute this surprise…”
