"Qingqing, I had my reasons back then. Give a chance to explain. After all, you still have feelings for my kiss! That proves you still have feelings for ." Bai Song looked into her eyes, the bitterness in his eyes so intense it seed about to spill over like ink.
"You’re overthinking it. I admit I’m not repulsed by your kiss, but what does that an? I’m only not repulsed by the kiss; everything else about you I cannot accept! Especially you as a person."
Bai Song paused.
He sighed.
"I know I broke your heart back then! I can’t forget you. I’ve thought about never marrying in this life. I can’t bear to love another woman or even think about it. Your every smile and frown plays in my mind without a mont’s rest.
All I hope for is your happiness. Even if I can just see you happy, I would be content.
But you still won’t get married! You’ve rejected everyone. You give hope; you make feel I have a responsibility to give you an answer, the answer I owe you."
"Bai Song, it’s not possible for us anymore. I’m not that strong. I can’t be strong enough to be hurt by soone and still co back wagging my tail like a puppy just because you beckon.
I’m not married because I don’t want to settle. I don’t want to easily weave myself into a cocoon. I understand the idea of better to have none than have shoddy. I’m waiting for soone who truly loves , who won’t hurt , who won’t easily say goodbye. But that’s not you."
She knew that her words might be a bit piercing, but only by cutting off his ideas could she stop being entangled because of him.
Bai Song finished listening and stared silently at her face for a long ti.
His body was still pressed against hers. If he didn’t let go, she couldn’t leave.
"You can’t forget , and I can’t forget you. We’re destined to be together, and denying it is useless! Your body rembers , your kiss rembers . This ti, no matter what, I won’t let go. Once is enough to regret for a lifeti.
Qingqing, I won’t let go of you.
Rest well!"
He turned around and left.
The sound of the door slamming shut jerked Qi Yuqing back to reality.
"Bai Song, you’re such a bastard!"
She shouted towards the cold, unyielding door.
She glanced at the dim shadows in the corner, montarily lost, unsure of what to do next.
This night was destined to be sleepless.
The next morning, Qi Yuqing was awakened by the vibration of the phone beside her.
She had only fallen asleep after dawn.
Now, she could barely open her eyes.
She groggily saw the na "Mother Dearest" on the phone and sighed deeply.
rcy, please.
"Mom!"
Her weak voice hoped her mother understood she was interrupted from her rest. She’s a doctor and needs to rest.
Sure enough, Qi’s mother sounded hesitant.
"You’re still sleeping? Did you work overti again yesterday? Look at you, 365 days a year, tired like a dog. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have let you study dicine, but I don’t know who this is hard on!"
Her daughter is exhausted, making her heartache even more.
No wonder her daughter can’t get married. Even having a boyfriend needs ti to get along!
Who would want a girlfriend who can be called away by the hospital at any mont?
"Mom, I’m really tired. If there’s nothing, let sleep well."
"Qingqing, how did you feel eting Lu Kai yesterday?"
Qi’s mother heartlessly ignored her daughter’s plea for rcy.
If she doesn’t get married soon, she’ll really beco an old maid.
"Not good. Mom, spare , I’m not interested in him, and I’ve clarified that."
This is a real mother.
She couldn’t hang up.
If she hung up, things could get serious.
No telling if she’d actually co over.
"What are you saying? How could you say that to Lu Kai! You’re... you’re... going to kill with anger. Qingqing, I’m telling you, Lu Kai called yesterday after he got back, said he was very satisfied with you, wants to spend ti with you. Even though you made it awkward for him,
the kid is really nice. He was polite, kept telling it wasn’t your fault, that he’s particularly fond of you, and kept advising not to push you, give you two a chance to handle it yourselves."
Qi Yuqing flipped over, sat up, and hugged the soft cushion in her arms.
"Really! I didn’t expect that."
She thought Lu Kai would badmouth her.
Didn’t expect that this man was indeed different.
"Yes, look how sincere he is. Qingqing, you still can’t forget that policeman? Qingqing, maybe he’s already married and forgotten who you are. Why do you shalessly still think of him?"
Qi’s mother’s words were too harsh, piercing right through Qi Yuqing’s lungs.
"Mom, are you done? What do you an by shaless? Are you really my mother? I’m telling you, that policeman isn’t married. He still thinks about . Are you satisfied now? Your daughter just likes that policeman. What do you say about it?"
Qi Yuqing was exasperated.
Being called shaless by her own mother, she really just went reckless.
Qi mother was frightened on the other end, "What? How could that policeman not keep his word, is he a man? He promised your father and to break up with you. Truly sothing else. I’m telling you, now he can go back on his word. I told you this man isn’t reliable. Qingqing, you can’t jump into the fire pit. It’s been three years, and he’s still not married.
Look, that’s the problem."
She completely forgot the secret she and Qi’s father had vowed to keep forever.
They wouldn’t tell their daughter they had approached Bai Song back then.
Because Bai Song had never clearly told Qi Yuqing that they had approached him.
Qi’s father and mother were originally very grateful to Bai Song.
Grateful he didn’t let their daughter hate them, didn’t create a rift between their daughter and them.
But unexpectedly, Bai Song turned out to be cunning.
He had another trick up his sleeve.
Qi’s mother was so angered she completely forgot what to say.
"Mom, did you go see Bai Song back then? Did you force him to make any promises?"
Qi Yuqing’s voice was like ice, cold enough to chill to the bone.
Qi mother paused.
Bai Song never ntioned it.
It’s over.
How did she let it slip?
What to do now!
Stamring out a few fragnted words.
"I... uh... your dad is back, I need to make him lunch. I’m hanging up!"
She hurriedly hung up the phone.
Qi’s mother’s heart was pounding fiercely, what to do?
Frightened, she looked at the phone, wondering if Qingqing called back, should she answer or not.
How to explain the events of that year.
Qi Yuqing fixed her gaze on the phone, the busy tone over the line seed just an illusion.
There was no need for her parents to explain anything.
Years ago, Bai Song had been a warm and kind person, suddenly turning harsh, not understanding or considerate at all.
The contrast was too great.
Shouldn’t she have realized it earlier?
What did her parents say or do back then?
What pushed Bai Song to leave her?
