Yao Yuyan opened her eyes groggily, staring at the familiar ceiling, feeling utterly lost.
Gu Yanzhi has someone he likes!
Recalling Gu Yanzhi's intimate actions with that woman last night, she felt waves of pain in her heart.
She sat up with a headache, her eyes glazed over.
When there was a knock on her door, she tried to make a sound, but a burning sensation in her throat prevented her from speaking.
The young woman pushed open the door and came in. Seeing her daughter sitting up, she asked with concern, "Are you feeling better, Yuyan?"
Yao Yuyan's throat had recovered somewhat, and she said in a low voice, "I'm feeling better."
Hearing her daughter's changed voice, Su Yao felt a pang of heartache, feeling it was a waste that her daughter had hanged herself on Gu Yanzhi's tree.
But she had tried to persuade her daughter, and since her daughter wouldn't listen, she had no choice but to let it be.
Hopefully, this time she'll change her mind.
Gu Yanzhi grew up under her watchful eye, so she knew him well and had a good relationship with his family. She had also spoken to him in advance last night.
"Are you hungry? Do you want some breakfast?" Su Yao gently rubbed her daughter's head.
Yao Yuyan blushed slightly and said, "Mom, I'm not a child anymore."
Who is this old and still gets their head patted by their mother like a little child?
Yao Yuyan thought of what happened last night and fell silent for a moment: "I'm not hungry, Mom. I want to be alone for a while."
"good."
Although Su Yao was worried, she couldn't help with matters of the heart and could only leave it to her daughter to deal with.
Just as she was about to close the door and leave, Yao Yuyan remembered something and called out to her mother again.
Although she was in a daze last night, she vaguely heard a familiar voice.
"Mom, who brought me home last night?"
Su's mother didn't hide anything: "Xiao Ye brought you back."
"Get some rest and don't think too much."
"Um."
Yao Yuyan felt a pang of guilt; even after their breakup, she had still troubled him again.
Yao Yuyan suddenly noticed something on the bedside table out of the corner of her eye.
She had put on a hairpin yesterday, and a neatly arranged jade bracelet.
Yao Yuyan's heart suddenly trembled. Why was that string of jade stones here?
She remembered that she had given it to Bai Ye.
She had also warned him that there was no reason to take back what she had given away.
But it appeared here.
Yao Yuyan wanted to find out what was going on, so she opened her phone and took a look.
There are four unread messages, all from Bai Ye.
Bai Ye: If you can't hold your liquor, drink less.
Bai Ye: I can't be by your side every time.
Bai Ye: I'll always be busy sometimes, and we'll eventually go our separate ways. I'm still in this city now, but two years from now, after I graduate, I won't be here anymore, and I won't be able to appear by your side again.
Bai Ye: As a girl, you should know how to protect yourself when you go out.
After staring blankly at the four messages, Yao Yuyan felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
The news that they were going their separate ways made her clench her little fists.
A wave of guilt towards Bai Ye washed over her. She had been very unhappy all year because the person she liked didn't like her back, and she was often sullen. Bai Ye would always appear by her side to comfort her when she was feeling down.
She still remembers the day she asked him: Why doesn't Gu Yanzhi like me?
His expression froze for a moment, then he smiled and said: Perhaps he likes you too, but he just doesn't dare to face his own heart.
Only now did she realize that Bai Ye's smile seemed exceptionally fake.
He was clearly feeling down inside, but he put on a smile in front of her.
Suddenly, she felt even more sorry for Bai Ye.
It seems she has never really cared about Bai Ye's feelings; she is just a selfish woman who enjoys Bai Ye's care and affection.
She felt so sorry for Bai Ye.
Her eyes welled up with tears, and her gaze fell on the corner of the counter in front of her, where many gifts that Bai Ye had given her were displayed.
All of them were gift boxes that hadn't even been opened.
Her guilt intensified, and she suddenly had a urge to open it and take a look.
She got up, put on her shoes, and approached the counter. Looking at the items on the top two shelves of the three-tiered counter, she suddenly had the urge to throw them all away.
The items on the top two shelves were gifts that Gu Yanzhi had given her since she was a child.
She has kept it until now.
She crouched down and found the gift Bai Ye had given her in the corner, her eyes landing on a blue gift box.
The ribbon on the blue gift box has been removed.
She was puzzled; she remembered that she had never opened it.
Could it be that Bai Ye opened it?
Suddenly, an idea formed in my mind, and a sense of panic arose from it.
She felt that Bai Ye must have discovered the fact that the gift he gave her had been left unopened in a corner.
A tear slid down her cheek.
She suddenly longed to see Bai Ye, wanted to apologize to him, and so on...
She sent a message to Bai Ye with trembling hands.
Yao Yuyan: I'm sorry
white night:?
Yao Yuyan: I...
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't know how to say them. Yao Yuyan typed the words over and over again, deleting and re-editing them.
On the other side, Bai Ye had no idea what she was planning to do.
Bai Ye: Now that you're awake, drink some hangover soup. I'll have Aunt Su make some for you.
Bai Ye: Don't be sad. Gu Yanzhi doesn't like you because he's not good enough for you. Don't dwell on the past. You have to look forward. You're so outstanding, you'll definitely find a better man.
Yao Yuyan fell silent, tears streaming down her face.
Bai Ye still cared for and comforted her as usual, but this time there was a strange sense of estrangement about him.
Yao Yuyan typed a sentence as if possessed.
Yao Yuyan: And what about you?
Bai Ye sat on the train home, looking at the message she sent in silence.
Bai Ye: Me? Are you trying to persuade me to let go of my feelings for you?
Bai Ye: Don't worry, I've already let it go.
Bai Ye: It's been so many days, and I've thought about it a lot. Actually, I might not really like you that much. I just yearn for the world of high society.
From the moment we started pretending to be a couple, I was trying to make you fall in love with me. Actually, I just wanted to use your status to achieve a leap in social class. I'm a lazy bum with no ideals or dreams, while you're a rich heiress. If you fall in love with me and are with me, I can have anything I want, and I won't have to struggle in life anymore.
Now that we've broken up, my plans to climb the social ladder are over, and I'm too lazy to play along with you anymore.
Wake up! I'm only after your money, you fairytale princess!
Bai Ye typed for a long time, and he began to notice that something was wrong with Yao Yuyan.
But he no longer had any reservations; he no longer wanted to have anything to do with her.
I want to cut off all contact with her completely.
Then he has to play the villain. Despicable words and a ruined image are the solutions Bai Ye came up with.
He no longer cared whether Yao Yuyan had a good or bad impression of him after he said those words; it didn't matter anymore.
Bai Ye clicked on her profile picture, clenched his fist slightly, closed his eyes, and then opened them again.
I deleted Yao Yuyan's contact information.
Along with the photos in the album and her memories, they were also buried on this speeding train.
It's time for him to say goodbye to the past.
I hope you can grow. I'm just a light rain in your life, unable to bring you a magnificent rainbow. You deserve a better life and a more beautiful rainbow.
Goodbye, ex!
