"Because I’ve been thinking of you," she turned her face away with a sob in her voice, "because I am so consud with missing you that I’m nearly going mad! I don’t actually want to call you Mr. Long, Beibei, I regret it so much, I regret it so much I wish I could just die right now! No money is one thing, but having to watch the man I love be with another woman, I feel so pathetic and in so much pain..."
"Dying is so easy, just go sowhere no one will find you and silently pass away, make sure nobody discovers you; I don’t want to listen to another word of this tireso talk." His voice was cold and clear, devoid of any warmth. To He iwei’s ears, it was excruciatingly painful.
Her heart was so stifled, "Are you encouraging to commit suicide?"
"If soone truly wants to die, no one can stop them. But even in death, die with dignity, and don’t cause unnecessary trouble for others."
He iwei’s heart constricted. She looked at his profile, feeling both frantic and helpless.
She closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face, without saying a word.
"I’ve already paid your rent," he said as he put his phone in his pocket. "The landlord will soon deliver your clothes, and I’ve also taken care of your dical bills. I’m going back now."
"Beibei!" She called out urgently, "Can you help one last ti, please? I don’t have any money right now. The money I make working at your company for a month can only cover my living expenses, and I absolutely cannot afford my dical bills. I’m really out of options!"
"What does your being out of options have to do with ?" He looked up, "Could it be... that I should also set you up for the rest of your life? Who are you to ? Why should I keep helping you ti after ti, a woman who doesn’t appreciate what she’s got, who is ungrateful, who doesn’t know the first thing about self-awareness!"
He used the word "not" three tis in a row.
His questioning left He iwei feeling utterly desperate.
"I am soone you once loved." She wept, "Do you really want to see end up on the streets? I really love you, Beibei, I truly truly love you imnsely. It’s my fault, but now I really have no way out."
Long Yubei looked at her and finally said, "I’ll rent an apartnt for you. Take care of yourself. There’s nothing more I can do."
He iwei said politely, "Thank you."
The two fell silent until the landlord ca to deliver her clothes and couldn’t help but say, "Young lady, you’re not old, how can you be so shortsighted? If you’re determined, why not go to so deserted place in the middle of the night, throw yourself into a well or a river, or bash your head against a mountain? If you die in my property, how can I rent it out to soone else afterward? I’d have to compensate for your death too!"
...
Taking into account her standard of living, Long Yubei rented her an apartnt in a common residential area.
At her insistent request, Long Yubei took her out of the hospital and brought her there.
Seeing the apartnt in front of her, He iwei could hardly believe it, "You rented this kind of place for ?"
"What’s wrong with it? It’s a common residential area, affordable, within your budget, fully equipped with household appliances. If you don’t want to stay, then go find a more upscale place yourself."
He iwei forced a smile, "I haven’t changed at all, but you are no longer the person you used to be. You would never have let live in a place like this before."
"I haven’t changed either, it’s ti that has changed," he answered. "I am still the sa ."
"You have changed, otherwise why is it that after all this ti I am still deeply in love with you, and yet you no longer love , and even married Gu Lili. Even though it was who left without saying goodbye, you’ve always been in my heart, thinking about you constantly every day. You can’t even begin to understand that kind of heart-wrenching feeling."
