526: Chapter 526: Seven Steps to Love’s Agony
Hengmao Building, the top-floor rooftop.
“Wenjie, did you not deceive ?
You really saw him?
He, he’s really married?” During lunch break, Youyou, dragged onto the rooftop by Qi Wenjie, learned of Qi Wenjie’s encounter and conversation with Lin Fei.
Youyou seed to lose all her vitality in an instant.
These simple questions seed to drain all her strength.
Had it not been for a lingering suspicion that Qi Wenjie might be deceiving her, to make her give up waiting, Youyou might have fainted on the spot.
As her best friend for many years, how could Qi Wenjie not see what Youyou was thinking and understand her psychological state?
She had the intention to tell a well-aning lie to Youyou but was unwilling to let her continue to waste her youth waiting for Lin Fei.
Qi Wenjie could only bear the pain and nod to Youyou.
“After all these years as sisters, you know what kind of person I am.
How could I dare to deceive you with sothing like this?!
Youyou, I really ran into him today.
I sat with him for more than ten minutes, and he admitted with his own lips that he’s married.
During that ti, his wife even called him.
Youyou, I know you’re unwilling to believe it.
But I must tell you!
The man you’ve waited seven years for—he’s changed his heart!”
After Qi Wenjie finished speaking, Youyou, with her pale face and lifeless eyes, seed to have all her strength scooped out in that mont.
Had Qi Wenjie not anticipated that Youyou would not withstand the shock of Lin Fei changing his heart and getting married, and supported her in ti, Youyou might have already collapsed to the ground.
Yet, even with Qi Wenjie’s tily support, it was of no help to Youyou, who was struck by a severe emotional blow.
Youyou’s cherry lips, which were once delicate and warmly hued, seed to lose all color instantly as she mumbled unconsciously, “Impossible, impossible…
If he ca back, he should have co to find
first.
I believe that he would co to find
first, he would co looking for …”
Hearing Youyou’s murmurs and seeing her utterly vacant reaction, Qi Wenjie, while carefully supporting Youyou, couldn’t help but fill her eyes with a look of pity.
“Youyou, it’s okay.
It’s been so many years; you should have forgotten him by now.
Now, it’s better that he’s married.
You can finally be free.
With your qualifications, what kind of man can’t you find?
If you’re willing, let’s take a day off tomorrow to go on a blind date.
It just so happens, I already requested leave for you when I was in the editor’s office.
Let’s go ho now, no, let’s go directly to the marriage agency.
As long as you can let go a little, forget that jerk, I’ve decided for you.
Next month, let’s find a man you like and get married!”
“It won’t work, it won’t work…”
Youyou, who wasn’t listening to Qi Wenjie’s admonishnt, sohow mustered the strength to break free from Qi Wenjie’s support.
Freed from Qi Wenjie’s support, Youyou walked forward step by step, her pale cherry lips muttering, “I have to find him, I have to find him, I need to ask him, I need to ask why he didn’t co for , why, why…”
Muttering to herself, Youyou, no longer supported by Qi Wenjie, didn’t make it far.
On the seventh step, her long, jade legs gave out, and she fainted.
“Youyou!”
Qi Wenjie, initially stunned by Youyou’s resistance and her pale and distressed appearance, rushed over to Youyou, who had collapsed to the ground.
…
It was just past ten in the morning.
Near the Hengmao Building, a public hospital.
In a double room.
Xia Youyou, who had collapsed from a major shock upon hearing Qi Wenjie’s tale of Lin Fei’s marriage on the rooftop terrace of the Hengmao Building, slowly ca to.
Qi Wenjie, who had been steadfastly by her bedside, saw Xia Youyou awaken and hurriedly picked up the glass of water from the nightstand to offer to Xia Youyou’s lips, “Youyou, you’re finally awake.
Do you know how scared I was?
Here, have so water first.”
The now-conscious Xia Youyou looked around, her pretty eyes devoid of any curiosity or astonishnt toward the unfamiliar surroundings.
She felt nothing but emptiness and desolation.
And thus, she felt nothing for the glass of water Qi Wenjie pressed to her lips.
It was as if everything around her had beco irrelevant.
After several attempts to persuade her to drink, Qi Wenjie, unable to elicit a response from Xia Youyou, put the glass back on the nightstand.
The woman’s eyes, now more filled with pity and even misted with a hint of moisture, spoke, “Youyou!
Why, why must you torture yourself like this!
That jerk was quite outstanding in our high school, sure, but now he’s just a broke security guard!
And he’s lost his heart to soone else!
He’s married now!
What’s there to be sad about over a guy like that!
It’s been so many years anyway, why do you still think about him!
Why can’t you understand?!”
“It’s not the sa, it’s not the sa…”
“What’s not the sa?!
He’s changed, and that’s that, what is there left to think about?!
You’ve waited for him for seven years, but what about him?
He went behind your back and married soone else?!
A person like that isn’t worth your thoughts!
Since it’s co to this, I’m not afraid to tell you the harsh truth.
When I was talking to him at the café, I told him to divorce his wife and then co back to propose to you.
Do you know what he said?!”
“He said he loves his wife very much, that he would never divorce her!
He’s completely forgotten you, Xia Youyou, it’s ti to wake up!” Qi Wenjie practically shouted the last sentence.
If not for the fact that Xia Youyou was the only patient in the room, Qi Wenjie’s outburst might have caused quite so trouble.
Even so, Xia Youyou, whose heart was already in extre pain, was inevitably struck anew by Qi Wenjie’s angry outburst.
So much so that after Qi Wenjie finished speaking, Xia Youyou, lying on the bed as if most of her vitality had been drained, simply closed her eyes again.
Tears silently fell.
“Are you stupid?!
He’s already married, why are you still crying over him?!” Seeing the silent tears on Xia Youyou’s face, Qi Wenjie could not help but shout at her once again.
Although she was yelling at Xia Youyou, Qi Wenjie did not know why a tear also fell from her own eye.
It was unclear whether her scolding was directed at Xia Youyou or perhaps at herself…
