When Duan Ye said that number, Ye Nuan was stunned.

"Ye Nuan, it wasn't that you didn't love me before, it was that you deliberately let me slip away, have you forgotten?"

Ye Nuan instinctively tried to grab Duan Ye, but Duan Ye took a step back, and her palm missed its target.

Ye Nuan's eyes stung with tears, and she blinked gently, finally calming down a little because of Duan Ye's words.

She said, "Brother Duan, I was wrong. I apologize. Please come back to me, okay? I promise I'll never be as willful as before..."

She cautiously reached out and grabbed Duan Ye's sleeve, too ashamed to even lift her head.

"Please forgive me one more time, okay? Like before, hug me, okay?"

Duan Ye remained unmoved.

He's taken the initiative too many times before; anyone would get tired eventually.

But later, he heard Ye Nuan crying and saying, "Senior, I really want a future with you..."

"Senior, hug me... I'm so tired, so very tired..."

These two sentences made Duan Ye feel a little sad and sigh.

"Warm and cozy..."

Ye Nuan looked up in surprise, thinking that she finally had a chance to start over with Duan Ye.

But the next second he said, "You can forget all the good things I've done just because of one of my little flaws. Have you forgotten that when I knew you were bad, I never even considered leaving you?"

Love is mutual.

Ye Nuan's heart sank to the bottom at that moment.

“Every moment you try to leave me is unforgivable.”

"I'll let you go. I won't interfere with your studies, and you shouldn't interfere with my starting a family and building my career."

After saying that, Duan Ye did not reach out to hug Ye Nuan as he used to, but instead pulled the hem of his clothes away from Ye Nuan's hands.

Duan Ye turned to leave, but Ye Nuan choked back tears and asked him, "We've been together for two years, and you've never touched me, but on the second day you were with her, you did everything. Why?"

"Duan Ye, did you ever truly love me?"

Duan Ye stopped in his tracks. In truth, he and Ye Nuan had reached this point in their conversation, and there was nothing more to say.

But if this issue isn't clearly explained, Ye Nuan will be troubled by it for the rest of her life.

Ye Nuan is a very stubborn person.

Therefore, Duan Ye said, "June 21, 2016, was our 84th day together."

After Duan Ye finished speaking, he took out his phone and sent the memo.

The memo was filled with her words and deeds.

Ye Nuan trembled as she scrolled down and saw the date June 21st, with only one sentence on it.

—Nuannuan saw a quote on Weibo today and shared it with me: A guy who truly loves you won't touch you before marriage. Nuannuan said she hopes I'll be like that too…

At this moment, Ye Nuan felt as if she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.

This year, she is twenty years old; two years ago, she was eighteen.

Ye Nuan's tears fell onto the phone screen.

How could Duan Ye forget? When he was at his lowest point, when he had no self-respect, it was Ye Nuan who picked up the pieces of him from his most broken state.

But later, it was Ye Nuan who repeatedly crushed his self-esteem.

Duan Ye's eyes reddened for the first time as he deleted all those so-called memos.

Duan Ye smiled sarcastically: "The beginning and the end were both decided by you. Our coming together and parting have never been up to me."

"Ye Nuan, I once loved you."

But that's all in the past.

Over the past two years, Duan Ye has had countless moments of self-doubt. Did Ye Nuan really stay with him because she loved him? Or did she just think he was naive and easy to fool?

“I know about Xiaotian’s situation. If you have any difficulties with your studies in the future, you can ask Lin Feng and Liu Jie for help. They will help you. After all, I am married now, so I hope you will be mindful of your actions and not do anything you shouldn’t do.”

Duan Ye was really about to leave, but he had only taken two steps when someone suddenly hugged him from behind.

"Don't go, I was wrong, I was really wrong... I'm of legal age now, let's get married, please..."

Duan Ye simply pried her hands open expressionlessly.

There is indeed a significant difference in strength between men and women.

Ye Nuan used all her strength, but she couldn't hug him again.

The moment her hands were pried open, Ye Nuan collapsed to the ground, clutching his right leg tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.

"I'm so afraid of losing you. This time... this time, let me love you properly, okay? Duan Ye, give me a chance..."

Duan Ye crouched down and gently patted Ye Nuan's shoulder, just as he had comforted her countless times before, only this time he said, "Nuan Nuan, you always say you're afraid of losing me, but you've never truly cherished me..."

If you don't love someone that much, why bother?

Without further hesitation, Duan Ye bent down and forcefully pulled her hand away.

Panic instantly enveloped Ye Nuan.

Reason told her that if Duan Ye left today, it would truly be the end for them.

She wanted to chase after him, but when she got up, she accidentally twisted her ankle and fell to the ground in pain, unable to recover for a while.

When I looked up again, Duan Ye's figure was almost gone.

"Senior..."

"Duan Ye..."

"Ano!!!"

However, Duan Ye simply left her world step by step.

No matter how much Ye Nuan cried out until her voice was hoarse, Duan Ye felt no more pity and did not turn back.

When he loved, he truly gave without reservation.

When they stop loving someone, they are truly decisive and ruthless.

He will never again drink himself into oblivion late at night because of his feelings; those dark and hopeless days were too unbearable.

The porridge in the morning tastes better than the wine at night.
