Xia Che is a very thoughtful person.
In some ways, he is more sensitive than a girl.
This is a unique trait of Xia Che himself, which existed before his soul transmigrated into the body.
Therefore, Xia Che could tell that Yu Shiyue's happiness was feigned.
She was not happy at all.
I was even very sad.
When she mentioned that phone call, the sadness in Yu Shiyue's eyes almost solidified, and she couldn't hide it even with her pretense.
"What... I didn't."
Yu Shiyue was a little flustered. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into those eyes that were so hot they made her feel numb all over.
cannot……
You absolutely must not tell anyone.
I don't want to cause trouble for my friends.
Just like what I went through before, let her bear everything herself.
Yu Shiyue was afraid that she would upset her friends because of her, and besides, it was her own trouble, so there was no reason to drag others into it.
"Why can't you just say it out loud? Sakura and the others are your good friends, and so am I, Yue-ge. Friends should help each other; that's the most basic requirement for being friends."
Xia Che frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased.
Why does Brother Yue act like a little woman?
He's a grown man just like me, one of only two men in 309. He's usually as gentle as a woman, so why can't he show any courage as a man when it comes to the crucial moment?
If you have difficulties, just say so. What's the point of hiding them?
Since they were both men, Xia Che felt that there was nothing that couldn't be said. The two of them sat together, smoked, and if that didn't work, had a bottle of wine. Once they talked about their troubles, half the problem was already solved.
Often, the reason why some people are defeated by problems is because they magnify the problem in their minds without limit, they are frightened by their own fears, and they dare not speak out about the problem or think about how to solve it.
Xia Che didn't want to see Yue become that kind of person.
Moreover, this situation is clearly unusual.
"The most basic requirement? Even if we're friends, it's not that strange if someone has things they don't want to talk about, right? Besides, didn't I already say it's okay? You've misunderstood."
Yu Shiyue frowned slightly, a familiar feeling called rebellion suddenly welling up in her heart.
She hates being questioned.
Xia Che's tone at this moment was exactly the same as her parents'.
They all claim to be acting in their own best interests, and then get angry because they're unwilling to tell them the truth.
They always seem to have a point.
It's as if the person who doesn't want to voice the problem is the truly wicked villain, an ungrateful wretch.
Can……
I was clearly thinking of them too, wasn't I? I didn't do anything wrong, did I? My intentions were good too, weren't they?
Isn't the reason why they don't want to talk about the troubles they're facing precisely so as not to implicate others?
Shouldn't I be the one to shoulder all the problems myself and prevent them from being exposed to even the slightest risk?
Why blame yourself?
Just because I didn't explain everything clearly and disobeyed them?
“I don’t want to obey anyone… Didn’t I come here in the first place to be true to myself? Thank goodness… I almost broke my vow.”
Yu Shiyue's eyes gradually regained their clarity, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Che's gaze was so intense that Yu Shiyue almost told him the truth. Fortunately, at the last moment, her last shred of reason pulled her back, and she didn't say it.
If all her efforts have been in vain, and nothing has changed in the end, then for Yu Shiyue, that would be truly devastating news.
This is definitely bad news.
"Brother Yue..."
Xia Che was stunned for a moment. Even with his low emotional intelligence, he could see Yu Shiyue's anger at this moment.
Did I say something wrong?
"Anyway, it's none of your business. I need to rest now. If you have anything else to say, we can talk about it tomorrow. Please leave now."
Yu Shiyue turned her head away, her face expressionless.
Once her resolve had been restored, she remembered why she had decided to run away from home in the first place.
Even if she were to return to that cold place now, Yu Shiyue would not want to do anything against her own will.
This is her determination.
It will not waver because of anyone.
Even if she harbored some inexplicable feelings for Xia Che, it was still the same.
"...I understand, get some rest."
Xia Che remained silent and slowly nodded. Yu Shiyue had already given him the order to leave. If he continued to insist on staying, it would only backfire.
Moreover, Xia Che's intentions were good; he just wanted to know what had happened and then do his best to provide some help so that Yue could stay.
If Yu Shiyue hadn't shed tears, but genuinely left because she had a better future, then Xia Che wouldn't have been unhappy at all; he would have been very happy.
Who wouldn't be happy to see their friend have a better future and live a happier life?
But that's not the case.
Xia Che could tell that Yu Shiyue didn't want to leave.
Considering that the other party was hiding on the balcony and silently shedding tears when they received that phone call...
Xia Che was certain that Yue Xiong would never have left voluntarily; the key to her decision to leave lay in what was said during that phone call.
"Whatever it is, it can't be good news..."
Xia Che walked out of Yu Shiyue's room, gently closed the door, then leaned against the wall and slowly let out a long breath.
Then, as if he had made some kind of decision, he walked towards a certain place.
Inside the room, after watching Xia Che leave, Yu Shiyue's calm facade crumbled instantly. Her eyes lowered, and the light in them was gone.
"Feel sorry……"
After a long silence, Yu Shiyue spoke softly.
...
Sitting in the bathtub, Chu Yuying was filled with regret. The hair she pulled out while scratching her head was almost blocking the drain.
She didn't choose to leave; she had to wait for Xia Che to return.
Chu Yuying was torn between two conflicting thoughts:
"Damn it... Sister Xiaoyue is my best friend. How can I just stand by and watch her leave for a man? That's wrong!"
"Maybe Xiaoyue left because she found a better place? She just moved out; the friendship is still there. Besides... Xiaoyue didn't necessarily have to move out, did she? Maybe she just received some bad news?"
"But Sister Xiaoyue looked so sad back then. I've never seen anything that could break her down. What else could it be but moving out of here?"
