Chapter 422 Let’s Break Up
"You get in the car too, I have something to tell you later." Xing Zhou looked at her, sighed deeply, his eyes a little tired.
Dai Qing glanced at him and cleared her throat. "Since you met a friend, I can go home by myself. It's not far anyway."
She really didn't want to be with that little girl, as it would make her feel powerless.
Xing Zhou disagreed. It wouldn't take much time to send her back. "I'll take you back. It won't take long."
"Brother Xingzhou, come with me to eat first. I'm still hungry." Yilin's eyes lit up when she heard Dai Qing's suggestion, and she immediately urged him. As she spoke, she subconsciously covered her stomach and looked a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling stomachache?" Xing Zhou looked at his expression and asked subconsciously.
"Brother Xingzhou, you know that my stomach has never been in good condition. It hurts easily after mealtime. In the past, you always left a few pieces of dried biscuits for me." Yilin said with a bit of resentment on her face.
Hearing Yilin's reminder, Xingzhou frowned subconsciously, "You've been abroad for several years, and you haven't recovered yet."
"It's all an old problem. It's not that easy."
Yilin smiled bitterly and then glanced at him again.
"After a few years abroad, what I miss most are the people and food from my hometown. My stomach is not suitable for staying abroad for a long time."
Dai Qing looked at the two people's affectionate expressions, her lips twitching speechlessly. There happened to be a taxi parked on the side of the road. Dai Qing went straight over, opened the door, got in the car, said something to the master, and the car drove away.
By the time Xing Zhou came to his senses, Dai Qing had already gone away in a taxi.
"Oh, that person is so rude. Brother Xingzhou said he would send her off, but he just left without saying hello."
Yilin blinked her eyes and did not forget to put on eye drops.
"Brother Xingzhou, where did she come from that made you take so much trouble to entertain her?"
"Didn't I tell you? Her name is Dai Qing. She has just arrived in the capital. She is a friend of Tang Zi and I. Don't underestimate her because she is young. She is a very good fortune teller. Next time you meet her, be nicer to her."
"Ah~? So he's a fortune teller...oh my goodness, it's a different era now, and there are still people who believe in superstition. How funny."
After hearing about Dai Qing's career, Yilin's jealousy and uneasiness completely disappeared.
How could Brother Xingzhou be interested in such a person who was not presentable? And the people in the Xing family were all too arrogant. They even looked down on her family background, not to mention a charlatan who came from nowhere.
"Brother Xingzhou, we are all young people of the new era, and we worship science. How do you know that kind of person?"
How can Xingzhou treat a mysterious person as a friend?
I really don’t understand. Aren’t you afraid of losing your identity?
At present, she always wanted to bring her friends to integrate with them, but those people always ignored her, which was very annoying.
"Brother Xingzhou, do you not like me anymore?"
Listening to Yilin's question and thinking about his complicated feelings towards her over the years, Xing Zhou was silent for a moment and took a deep breath.
"When I was young and energetic, knowing you was the happiest time of my life and a precious memory. After graduating from college, we were busy in the past few years and we both changed a lot."
"Especially with the burden on my shoulders, it's impossible for me to devote my whole heart and soul to the relationship. This is contrary to your philosophy. After thinking it over, it's better for us to be friends."
After Xingzhou said these words, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the heavy stone pressing on his heart was finally removed.
Dai Qing once reminded him that he was doomed to be in trouble for his romantic relationships.
So far, except for Yilin, no other woman has had the opportunity to get close to him. Since he can't give her the result she wants, it's better to make it clear in advance to avoid misunderstandings.
After making the decision, he was not very sad at all. Maybe he was just a cold-hearted person.
When Yilin heard Xingzhou's tone, she felt terrible. She had not expected that she had chosen to return home and wait for him. As long as she could marry Xingzhou and become the head lady of the Xing family, everything would be worth it.
But what did she hear?
Xing Zhou wants to cut off ties with her? How is that possible?
Yilin lowered her head to hide the resentment in her eyes, then raised her head again with red eyes.
"Brother Xingzhou, what are you talking about? You know I like you, from high school until now. I spent three years abroad, and I spent every day like a year. I finally graduated and came back to reunite with you. You were busy, so I waited for you obediently and never disturbed your work. Is there something I did wrong? To make you break up with me?"
Xing Zhou saw her looking at him with tears in her eyes, and felt distressed. He handed her a handkerchief.
"You are very good, I am sorry for you... Don't worry, if you need anything in the future, I will do my best to help you."
"I don't want it... Brother Xingzhou, can you take back what you just said? I don't want anything, I just want you."
Yilin was sitting in the passenger seat. She rushed over, hugged Xingzhou and started crying. After a moment, she raised her head and looked at her eagerly, then asked cautiously.
"Is it... that your family disagrees?"
Xing Zhou was silent for a moment, pursing his lips. His grandmother and the others knew that Yilin was his classmate, but they didn't know anything else.
His family never paid much attention to his private affairs, and no one would ask unless he specifically mentioned it.
"It has nothing to do with my family. It's my fault. I was too young before and didn't understand many things. Now I have figured it out."
He is a rational person. Knowing that there will be no results, he doesn't want to get entangled anymore.
Yilin was stunned and looked at him in shock, "You mean you don't like me anymore?"
Xing Zhou: “…”
I really don't like it that much anymore. The reckless enthusiasm I had in high school continued into college and became a habit. But it's not that hard to accept the decision to give up.
Yilin's face turned pale, the corners of her mouth trembled, and tears fell uncontrollably.
"Why ..."
The only response she got was silence and the pair of hands with bulging veins on the steering wheel.
"...I'll take you to dinner." Xing Zhou helped her up, fastened her seat belt, started the car, and left.
"How could you do this to me, wuwu..."
Yilin covered her face and cried heartbreakingly, with an inexplicable resentment rising in her heart.
"Is it because of Dai Qing that Brother Xingzhou has fallen in love with her?"
Xing Zhou was stunned, looked at her tearful eyes, and shook his head, "It has nothing to do with her."
Yilin clenched her fists and turned to look out the window, but she just couldn't believe it in her heart.
No one can snatch the person she chooses from her.
Dai Qing got out of the taxi and took just two steps when her nose started to itch. She raised her hand to rub it. Was she being scolded again?
When I got to the front door and was about to open it, four people suddenly appeared beside me and said, "Miss Dai, will you come with us?"
