"I was immature back then. I got scared when they suddenly told that I was engaged to soone. I did not have the courage to go against my family…."
"What are you talking about?'' Her brows tugged together.
''I will accept anything you want…however you want to punish ….Let's get back together. I'll treat you just like the way I used to," When she opened her mouth to say sothing, he interrupted her as he stood up, "If you are going to ntion my engagent then let tell you that we have broken up this morning. I still love you. Let's get back to the way we used to be…''
"But I don't love you," She glanced at him with utmost seriousness as she folded her arms in front of her chest, "Back then, our breakup impacted in many ways. I was motivated to work harder and get in the best university of Amaranthine to avoid bumping into you but at the sa ti, I started detesting things like love and relationship. My university years have been empty for . A few friends and nothing else. No crush no love interest. I isolated myself for so long that I forgot what it was like to be in the company of people. It was all until he ca. And suddenly, I started feeling for soone once again but the feelings were more intense than I have ever felt for you and so I subconsciously rejected it.''
"Is it Jun Zixuan?"
She smiled as she nodded looking into the distance. Her eyes teared up slightly at those mories. She blinked, "I refused to accept everything and soon. he disappeared from my life. I thought that was for the good until sothing major happened that got under his roof. And over the course of ti, every feeling that I had always rejected ca back rushing to but this ti, it was not in my control anymore,'' She glanced at him, "Unlike you, he is not going to leave . And even if he did, I will resort to each and every way to get him back to my side," She laughed, "Because, I am sure about him and there is no going back on it. Unlike our relationship where you never risked anything for and I never made efforts for you, I want to give him everything that I have. I can risk anything for him.''
"And what about him? What if he doesn't loves you as much?" Jun Zihao glanced at her face, "What if he had other won? Or a woman from his past? What makes you think he won't cheat on you?"
She lowered her head. The ntion of his ex was a sore thumb to her because initially, he mistook her for his first love under the influence of alcohol. ''I trust him," She sighed. Whatever and whoever gets between them, he won't let her down and she was sure of it.
Jun Zihao laughed, "It seems like I was being delusional.''
"It isn't love," She patted his shoulder, "Had it been love, you would not have survived for years without looking for even once. You are just obsessed with that idea, nothing else."
He sighed, "You have matured regarding relationships and all."
"Of course," I have already transmigrated into another body. It will be weird if I still play dumb in my second life. She inwardly thought, "I don't hold grudges against you. Neither I am a petty woman who will curse her ex. Rest assured. I have forgiven you," She waved her hand nonchalantly.
"Oh, your boyfriend saw us hugging just now."
She nodded, "That's fine. I will-'' Her eyes widened, "Wait…what?"
He pointed his chin at the mirrors in front of them before pointing his thumb towards the door behind, "I saw his reflection.''
Her jaws dropped, "I was blindfolded. I thought it was him...''
"He won't know that since you had your face buried in my chest," Jun Zihao raised an eyebrow, "We had a fight when he was leaving for work. He asked whether I know you and I told him that I even know about your birthmark…"
She glanced at his swollen jaw. No wonder. No wonder he asked her about it, "You…Ahh..'' Her ankle got twisted the mont she retreated a step back. ''Jun Zihao, you are a hell of a jaded scoundrel, jerk, bastard, an inhumane crazy psychopath…'' She removed her heels and threw it at him before running away.
He caught her heels in his hand before smiling at them, "And who told you that I have not looked for you over the years?" He closed his eyes.
Perhaps, he deserved this for the way he treated Su Ning.
…
Yu i glanced at the empty room blankly. His absence made everything around her cold.
It was not until now when she stood in front of Jun Zihao did she realize that Jun Zixuan has always been more than a friend to her. She was just too afraid to accept the fact.
Her phone started ringing right at this mont. She glanced at the caller ID before swiping the answer option, "Luoluo, he left …" She mumbled without looking at the woman as she glanced at the empty room.
"What are you talking about?" Shi Luo whispered.
Yu i sat on the floor before leaning back on the bed, "I don't know…He saw with Jun Zihao and misunderstood . I…"
"Who told you to speak so many lies?" Shi Luo reprimanded her in a soft voice, "You should have told him the truth-''
"Told him the truth... Told him the truth… Is it that fucking easy?" She snapped at Shi Luo. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed, "How the hell should I have told him the truth knowing that it might change everything between us if he knows that his wife is not his wife and is another soul. And….if he knows I am…"
''Shhh…Speak slowly.''
''Why? You always taunt to stop lying but now I am stating the truth, you don't want to listen to anymore?" She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, "I have deluded myself that we are just friends for a long ti. What makes you sure that he won't be conflicted about his feelings if he cos to know that the person he loved was not the person he believed her to be. If he knows that I am Han i, everything between us will go back to square one-''
''Who did you say you were?!!"
The phone almost fell from her hand as she tilted her head down to look at Mu Shen who had his face enlarged in front of the cara.
''Give back my phone…'' Shi Luo shouted from the back.
Mu Shen glanced at Yu i's pale face before looking at Shi Luo, ''You are going to explain this to . In details,'' He said to her and? turned to look at Yu i, ''And you…no wonder you resemble her so much. I don't what is going on here but if you are Han i, then you have tortured my friend pretty well."
"W-What do you an?" Her eyes widened.
''You want to know?" Mu Shen glanced at her seriously, lacking the usual mischief from his expressions.
She nodded.
''Then start with your side first. How the heck in the world Yu i Zhen and Han i could be the sa person?"
Yu i glanced at Shi Luo before looking back at Mu Shen.
''I died,'' She said.
