Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhou Chen could not help but think back on the ti when he was with Ye Yao. Ye Yao was sensible and quiet. She did not argue or quarrel, and never caused trouble for him. Unlike Ye Sui… Whenever he thought of the past, Zhou Chen would kick himself.
The military training in the morning ended very quickly. Huo Buyu had matters to attend to today, so Ye Yao went to the school canteen to eat. She sat alone at the dining table. Suddenly, soone sat down opposite her and placed a serving of sweet and sour pork ribs in front of her.
It was Zhou Chen. “Ye Yao, I got you your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs.”
When Ye Yao saw Zhou Chen, who had sat himself opposite her, her hunger imdiately vanished and she instantly lost her appetite. She pushed the sweet and sour pork ribs away. “I’m sorry, I don’t like it anymore.”
For a mont, Zhou Chen seed hurt. He looked at Ye Yao sadly and said in a pained tone, “Ye Yao, can’t you forgive this once? I really do realize my mistake.”
Ye Yao was a little impatient. “Zhou Chen, do you understand the phrase ‘let’s part on good terms’? What’s the point of pestering like this?”
Zhou Chen did not want to give up. “Ye Yao, I really like you. Back then, I asked you to go overseas first. I said I’d go and look for you after settling things. Why didn’t you wait for ?
“Wait for you?” Ye Yao looked at Zhou Chen mockingly as if she’d just heard a funny joke. ‘I l had been overseas for half a year. It wasn’t enough ti for you to settle things?”
“I…” Zhou Chen started.
Ye Yao continued, “If you hadn’t spotted in the capital, would you really have gone overseas to look for ? Were you really able to sort out your matters? Back then, you tricked into going overseas. To put it bluntly, you were avoiding responsibility. You will never learn to be responsible for your own matters in your life.” She had long seen through Zhou Chen. He did not have any sense of responsibility as a man. He kept saying that he would go overseas to look for her. She was sure she’d not live to see that day.
“I…” Zhou Chen did not know how to explain. Indeed, he had not gone to look for Ye Yao in the half a year that she was overseas. In fact, if he had not suddenly spotted her, he would have almost forgotten about her. Why would he go overseas to look for her? But…
“I would have gone looking for you. It’s true. I only needed a little more ti. Ye Yao, I really do realize my mistake. I’ll cancel the engagent with Ye Sui now. Let’s get engaged again, okay? I really love you,” Zhou Chen begged.
“Don’t bother.” Ye Yao’s tone was impatient. “Zhou Chen, face the reality. I don’t like you anymore. And no longer think highly of you. You’d better stay away from now. Otherwise, we’ll settle our old and new scores together. Back then you had tricked into going overseas. I haven’t settled the score with you for that.” She had almost died overseas because of Zhou Chen.
Ye Yao was about to leave when Zhou Chen grabbed her hand. Ye Yao frowned. “Let go.
“I won’t let go,” the man said.
The two of them started tussling in the canteen, attracting a lot of attention.
The crowd watched the pair and started whispering to each other.
“Let go!” Suddenly, an angry shout ca from behind. Then, Gao Qiao rushed over like a whirlwind and punched Zhou Chen in the stomach.
Zhou Chen let go of Ye Yao’s hand in pain.
Gao Qiao stood in front of Ye Yao and scolded Zhou Chen, “Are you done? Did you forget the warning I gave you last ti? And now you’re even pestering Ye Yao in my presence. You must be tired of living.” Huo Buyu’s girlfriend was not soone that a scumbag like Zhou Chen should touch casually. Gao Qiao himself had been hanging around Ye Yao for so long, yet he was very polite towards her and would not even touch her.
Although Gao Qiao’s love life was rather frivolous, his brotherly relationship with Huo Buyu was real. Ye Yao was Huo Buyu’s girlfriend, so he would maintain a good distance and protect Ye Yao at the sa ti.
Zhou Chen wilted when he saw Gao Qiao. He did not dare to resist Gao Qiao at all, but swiftly turned around and left dejectedly. Ye Yao looked at Zhou Chen’s cowardly expression and wished she could punch herself for being so blind back then.
Gao Qiao sneered when he saw how spineless Zhou Chen was. Then, he turned around and gave Ye Yao a big smile. “I just ordered a plate of fish and prawns for you. Let’s go, I’ll take you to lunch.”
Ye Yao had lost her appetite because of Zhou Chen. She shook her head. “I can’t eat.
“Don’t be like that, my great aunt.” Gao Qiao put his palms together. “Actually, I have sothing to ask of you. Will you do the honor?
Ye Yao glared at him and knew that he would not be solicitous for no reason..
“No, I won’t,” she declined
