“I’m sorry. I don’t want to hurt you, but... not everything can be achieved simply through effort.”
Seeing the energy drain from the usually bubbly and energetic woman, the man himself did not feel well, too.
Although he did not love her, his heart... was not a rock, either.
After all, they were together for so ti. Even if he did not love her, he actually still liked her and was grateful to her.
“Xiaoyu, you are a good lady. You deserve a better man.”
“The only man I love is you, though! I don’t want anyone else—just you!”
Tears, as though they were pearls from a broken string, dripped, drop by drop, from her eyes.
She looked at the man opposite her through a vision blurred by tears as her heart beca filled with agony.
“I know that you used to like . I know that, when you still didn’t know about Pei Ge’s existence, you did like . Am I right?”
She grabbed onto him tightly with a gaze full of hope and anticipation.
It was as though his reply could decide her life and death.
“Answer , Zhengrong!”
Her fingers tightly wound around his arm, her snowy-white fingernails about to prick his arm.
“...Now isn’t the best ti to discuss this. Pei Ge is still in the ward.”
The prickling sensation in his arm made him frown.
“Answer —I only want to know the answer!”
The woman apparently did not intend to let him off as she gripped onto him even tighter.
Seeing that she was on the verge of breaking down, the man fell silent for so ti as he regarded her. Finally, he let out a soft sigh.
“Back then, I did like you, but that’s not love. It’s only because—” I thought you were the girl in my heart that my heart moved for you.
He was cut off mid-speech, though.
Seemingly having gotten a satisfactory answer and as though... having guessed the rest of his words, the woman was unwilling to let him continue and imdiately stopped him from speaking.
“I know it. I know that you did have feelings for ...”
At that mont, the face stricken with grief and looking pitiful gave a radiant smile.
“Xiaoyu...”
He lightly frowned at her jubilant expression, suddenly finding sothing off with it; the man even sensed that what he had just said sounded wrong.
“Let’s go back in! My best friend is waiting for us!”
Beaming, she grabbed his arm and dragged him inside.
“...”
This action of hers kept making the man feel that sothing was odd. He could sense that sothing had changed about her.
Alas, he himself could not pinpoint what it was.
“Zhengrong, I love you.” Right at the mont before they entered the ward, the woman lowered her head and softly mumbled this with a light smile.
You do love , too... but because of your sentintal thoughts, you mistakenly think that you love Pei Ge...
That’s why I won’t ever leave you. I’ll definitely... accompany you and wait for the day when you realize that the one you truly love is .
Pei Ge raised her head at the sound of the door opening and promptly spotted the couple walking in, arm in arm.
A light smile graced her lips at the intimacy of the couple.
“What were you guys talking about outside? You took so long!”
“Nothing. We were just discussing the follow-up of when you go overseas with us,” replied her best friend with a huge grin.
“Huh? I don’t think I’ve agreed yet!”
Her words successfully shocked Pei Ge and the man.
She was surprised because she had not agreed to their proposal, whereas he was surprised because his girlfriend actually said this despite objecting to his suggestion fervently earlier.
“You should just co with us. Other than getting angry and hurt, you won’t find any happiness while staying here. Plus, auntie has to go overseas for treatnt. It’s not good for your health if you remain here.”
As she spoke, Tang Xiaoyu leaned her head on her boyfriend’s shoulder with a smile.
“Also, after going overseas, you don’t have to worry about anything. You have and Zhengrong for everything.”
“...” The man’s eyebrows moved ever so slightly as confusion rattled his heart.
He did not understand why she would suddenly change her mind.
However, as though she did not feel his confusion, the woman’s smile beca even brighter and wider.
“You don’t have to persuade so earnestly. While you guys were outside, I made up my mind.”
Pei Ge smiled as she told her best friend this.
“Huh?” The other woman blinked, feeling perplexed. “What is it? I’ll tell you this in advance: Whether you agree to it or not, I’ll still bring you abroad this ti!”
“Pfft!” A light smile blossod on her face at that. “It appears that you’ll be disappointed, then!”
“Ge Ge, you...” Thinking that she was unwilling to join them overseas, Tang Xiaoyu frowned.
“I’ve decided...” Pei Ge’s face showed a determined look at this point. At the sa ti, it also caused the couple’s nerves to tense up. “To go overseas with you guys!”
The two were slow in processing her words, but when they finally did, excitent and happiness appeared on their faces.
“Are you for real? You truly want to co with us?”
“Yes. I’ll follow you guys abroad...” She lightly nodded and turned to look at a tree branch which had just sprouted outside the window.
Amid the dark green backdrop, the newly sprouted plant seed to thrive with vigor.
Yes. I’ll go with Xiaoyu and leave this place for good...
Leaving... is the best choice.
“Follow us to the States...”
