Tears flowed down Xu Qingyue's eyes. She tried to open her eyes wide and said, "Xiao Zheng, can you come back to me?"
"Let's start over. Don't you like eating at the Lao Zhang's Noodle House behind the university? I've bought it. From now on, whenever you want to eat there, I'll take you there."
"Don't you want an island wedding? Can we hold our wedding on the island?"
"Do you still remember the couple's email addresses we applied for together? Over the past ten years, I've sent you countless emails. You're the only one in my heart, and that's never changed."
"And this!" Xu Qingyue suddenly strode to the sofa and pulled back the blanket, revealing the photos covering the sofa. "Have you truly forgotten every moment we spent together?"
Yan Zheng stared blankly at the densely packed photos on the sofa, and memories of the past came flooding back.
"Xiao Zheng, you've been so cruel to me. If it weren't for these photos, I really don't know how I would have gotten through the past ten years."
"Break up with that woman, okay? Come back to me, and I will raise the child as my own."
Hearing Xu Qingyue mention the child, Yan Zheng subconsciously clenched his fingers and lowered his eyes.
Xu Qingyue walked up to him and continued, "I know you like children. We will have our own children in the future. I will have as many as you like."
"No!" Yan Zheng suddenly said in a low voice, then raised his eyes with a firm look and raised his voice, "I will not break up with Xiao En."
"Why?" Xu Qingyue blinked in confusion, "You're just getting older and want to find someone to marry."
"Because I love her!" Yan Zheng said seriously.
"You love her?" Xu Qingyue was stunned for a moment, then sneered twice, "You've only been with her for less than half a year, and you've already fallen in love with her?"
"Yes!" Yan Zheng nodded.
Xu Qingyue's face darkened, and she stared at Yan Zheng sharply. She took two steps back and forth and said, "Then what about the two years we were together? I pursued you for two years, and we were officially together for two years. Could your feelings for her be any deeper than mine?"
Yan Zheng picked up a photo on the sofa and placed it in front of Xu Qingyue, saying, "Take a look at this photo."
Xu Qingyue paused and took the photo to examine it carefully. It was taken when they went to climb Jingyang Mountain. The two of them were snuggling together with the mountain as the background, happily making a V sign. Behind them was a group of high school students who came for an autumn outing. There was nothing special about it.
"What's wrong with this photo?"
"Look at my eyes in the photo."
Xu Qingyue pursed her lips and locked her gaze on the pair of eyes she loved the most: "Nothing special."
"I'm not happy." Yan Zheng looked straight at Xu Qingyue. "Although I'm smiling, I'm not happy. Eyes are the windows to the soul, they can't lie."
Xu Qingyue looked at Yan Zheng's photo again and found that the corners of his mouth were curved upwards, but the corners of his eyes were drooping. People's eyes only droop when they are sad.
Her face turned pale. She threw away the photos in her hand and picked up another stack. The corners of her eyes were still drooping. This one was like this, and the next one was like this, and every one of them was like this...
"I'm sorry, Qingyue." Yan Zheng said with great regret, "I was too young at the time and couldn't tell whether it was gratitude or love, so I chose to be with you."
Xu Qingyue slammed the photo in her hand onto the sofa and looked at him angrily: "Then why were you crying just now? You obviously have feelings for me. I know it must be because of the children. It's okay, I don't mind. I will treat them as my own children."
"I'm crying because I feel sorry for you. The man I've liked for so many years has never loved you."
"No!" Xu Qingyue pressed Yan Zheng's shoulders with both hands and said angrily, "You love me. You said you love me. You are lying to me, right?"
"I'm sorry!" Yan Zheng said in a low voice.
Xu Qingyue screamed, let go of Yan Zheng and knelt on the ground, holding her head with both hands, her body shaking uncontrollably: "This is not true, this is not true, you love me."
"I'm sorry, I'm not worthy of your love. You are still young and can find someone who truly loves you." Yan Zheng said with pity.
"Why don't you love me? Why? What's so good about that pretty boy? Is it just because he looks better than me?" Xu Qingyue suddenly raised her head, tears and snot streaming down her face.
"I don't know." Yan Zheng seemed a little confused. "You've done so much for me, but I don't love you."
"However, when I first saw her in a cafe, I wanted to go up to her and ask for her contact information. Even though I knew it wasn't suitable, I still tried hard to get along with her."
"Usually, even if I'm mad at her, I can't help but want to be with her."
"I like to act like a spoiled child in front of her, cling to her, and live like an idiot..."
"That's enough!" Xu Qingyue gasped, her face becoming a little ferocious. "You don't have to recall every detail of your relationship to prove it to me."
"Qingyue, can we just end the entanglement from ten years ago?" Yan Zheng said, "Don't trap yourself in the past anymore. Try to move on. There are many men in this world who are better than me. As long as you are willing..."
"Shut up!" Xu Qingyue stood up from the ground with a sarcastic smile on her face. "Yan Zheng, you make me feel like a fool. I've been thinking about you for so many years, but you've never taken me to heart."
Yan Zheng looked at her quietly.
Xu Qingyue wiped her face, raised her chin, and said proudly: "Don't worry, I won't pester you anymore. I, Xu Qingyue, am not the kind of dog who chases after men."
"I wish you and that pretty boy a long and happy marriage, and may you have many children and grandchildren!"
Then he took out the key from his pocket and threw it to him: "Go away, don't let me see you again!"
Yan Zheng took the key and walked to the door to unlock it. Xu Qingyue's voice came from behind him again: "I hope you don't regret your choice today!"
Yan Zheng paused while turning the door lock, and finally left without looking back.
Hearing the door close without hesitation, Xu Qingyue turned around and threw all the photos on the sofa to the ground, cursing non-stop: "Bitch, bitch, what a bitch!"
After all the photos lay quietly on the ground, she sat down on the floor like a deflated ball, covering her cheeks and crying.
There was a pile of photos under my feet. In the top one, two young people were leaning against each other and making a V sign, while behind them was a female student looking up at the sky.
Although it was blurry, I could still vaguely see her beautiful face and translucent white skin.
