Before I came into this world, I often heard a saying.
Since ancient times, deep affection cannot be retained.
I don't consider myself a sentimental person. I think I'm a rational madman. At most, I'll experience uncontrollable internal strife amidst all sorts of betrayals and hurts.
Just like now.
Every time I face these family members I used to know, and their harsh words, I feel like I'm going crazy from the internal struggle.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down as much as possible.
Then, looking at Gu Nianci, who had completely broken ties with me, I didn't hesitate any longer and retorted directly: "Deep affection? Don't worry, even if I feed my heart to a dog, I will never have the slightest bit of lingering affection for you."
"Also, there's one thing you're wrong about."
"I called you here not because I wanted to sleep with you."
"I wanted to see what was most important to me."
"Now I see it. In your eyes, your own interests and what you want are the most important things, so important that you are willing to pay any price, including your own filthy body."
"Is Xu Yan perhaps someone you're using right now?"
"The ridiculous thing is that he thought he could use you."
"As expected, you are the same kind of people!"
At that moment, I could feel the sarcasm in my words, but to me, it was like a cathartic release of emotions, and I felt extremely relieved.
Turns out, venting your emotions feels so good.
It turns out, it's so easy to stop loving someone you shouldn't love.
"Gu Nianci!"
"See you in court."
I didn't look at her again, and was about to leave after I finished speaking, but at this moment Gu Nianci suddenly spoke up.
"Xu Ruo".
"You're right, I am indeed a woman who will stop at nothing." For some reason, Gu Nianci was unusually calm at this moment. She sat on the bed and looked at me calmly, as if what I had said before had no effect on her at all.
"Right now, I have only one goal: to get what I want."
"I don't want to be a walking corpse whose marriage is arranged for me, who can't have my own feelings, can't do what I want to do, and can only live under my parents' arrangements forever."
At this point, Gu Nianci suddenly took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag and handed one to me. I was stunned for a while before I came to my senses. While I was surprised, for some reason, I felt even more irritable.
I have never seen Gu Nianci smoke.
I've never seen her dressed up like this before, even being so proactive in bed.
I silently lit a cigarette and waited for her to speak. I even forgot that I had originally planned to leave immediately and didn't want to face her for even a second longer.
We remained silent, neither of us speaking, until after we had smoked half a cigarette, Gu Nianci suddenly looked at me with an expression that I found completely unfamiliar.
I'm not saying this to gain your sympathy.
"You wouldn't understand what I've been through all these years, just as I don't understand what you've done or what has happened to you. I'm saying this simply to tell you that if you insist on blocking my way..."
"We have no choice but to fight to the death!"
Is it a lose-lose situation?
I'm feeling a bit down.
Although I had prepared for this, the same words sounded completely different coming from me and from her.
