Two bean-sized tears rolled down his dark eyes. His throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't utter a word.
After sitting on the washing machine, the height difference between the two was reduced a lot. Xiao Xingyu only needed to lower his head slightly so that his forehead could touch hers. Zhang Moyan stared at Xiao Xingyu without blinking, looking at him through the mist in her eyes. He seemed to be glowing vaguely, illusory.
Xiao Xingyu was slightly puzzled by Zhang Moyan's sudden words and wiped away her tears. "Why are you saying these things out of the blue? Are you so unsure? Am I not giving you enough sense of security?"
After asking three questions in a row, the helplessness and anxiety in Zhang Moyan's heart finally reached its peak. Reason and emotion were fighting each other. Amidst the surging emotions, there was a rational voice that was particularly clear: Don't waste other people's sincerity anymore.
"No," she lowered her head, her hands tightly gripping the edge of the washing machine, and raised her head, "What time is it now?"
"It's past half past twelve." Xiao Xingyumin felt something strange and paused, "Why are you asking this?"
"Then the birthday is over."
"What does it matter?"
"Xingyu," Zhang Moyan's lips trembled, and she was reluctant to say what she was about to say, "Xingyu..."
Then it became uncontrollable murmuring of his name over and over again.
"It's really killing me!"
Xiao Xingyu let out a long breath and hugged the woman in his arms.
How could they hug again? Zhang Moyan leaned on Xiao Xingyu's shoulder and blamed herself. She had nothing from the beginning, so why should she be afraid of having nothing?
She took a deep breath: "Xingyu, I have something to discuss with you..."
"What's up?"
Zhang Moyan picked at the joint of her index finger, trying to hold back the heartache that was pounding her: "That's right, let's break up?"
It was as if there was a loud bang, and the door to happiness was closed by herself.
Zhang Moyan felt Xiao Xingyu's body stunned, and then she was pushed in front of Xiao Xingyu and observed carefully.
Her face was no longer red, and even looked a little pale.
"What did you say?" Xiao Xingyu's dark eyes narrowed slightly. "Did I hear it wrong?"
Zhang Moyan didn't avoid it and repeated it again: "You heard it right, let's break up?"
I'm sorry, I can't let anything happen to you.
Xiao Xingyu's face suddenly darkened. He let her go, put one hand in his pocket, and looked at her sideways for a long time.
"Did I do anything to upset you?"
The oppressive feeling in the air suddenly became so strong that Zhang Moyan felt her breathing was obstructed.
"No." She clenched her fingers, not daring to look Xiao Xingyu in the eye.
"Or are you dissatisfied with me in some way?"
Zhang Moyan shook her head: "No."
There was a moment of silence.
Xiao Xingyu's eyes were already filled with curses. She had just been kissing him passionately, and now she was breaking up with him! What the hell was going on?!
She was breaking up with Xiao Xingyu, was she kidding? He seriously suspected that this woman had been possessed by a ghost the previous second!
But despite the unbelievable situation, this woman didn't look like she was joking. Several of his previous girlfriends had used breakups to test his reaction, but none of them were as emotional as Zhang Moyan's. Besides, he believed that Zhang Moyan's personality wouldn't allow her to be so pretentious.
So if she said she wanted to break up, she must really mean it.
But why break up?
Xiao Xingyu felt his chest begin to smolder, but he suppressed the urge to explode in anger. He pondered the answer in his mind, then took Zhang Moyan's hand and slowly stroked the back of her hand with his thumb: "Do you really mind my donation of equipment to Jiaotong University?"
This was the only possible reason he could think of. After all, even his mother thought it was serious.
Zhang Moyan looked up in confusion. What did this have to do with anything?
"I can explain that," Xiao Xingyu said. "I'm doing this to further our cooperation with Jiaotong University. There are two main considerations. First, of course, I also want to re-study celadon porcelain. Second, didn't you tell your parents last time that I'm a chemistry teacher? If I establish a research institute with Jiaotong University, then our identities will be aligned, and you won't be deceiving your elders."
Zhang Moyan was stunned. It turned out that there were factors to consider for her...
To be honest, she didn't have high expectations for the level of emotional commitment from her partner. Xiao Xingyu's achievement was already far beyond the level she could entrust her life to.
She is not a cold-hearted person. How could she remain indifferent to Xiao Xingyu's almost condescending explanation?
But...that suicide note really destroyed her.
Putting aside whether her acquaintance and meeting with Xiao Xingyu was artificially planned, the fact that her biological mother murdered Xiao Guoxi meant that she and Xiao Xingyu were destined to have different paths.
There is no way to reconcile this.
Wouldn't it be hard to live with a girl who is your enemy?
She didn't want Xiao Xingyu to experience this.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. After thinking this through, Zhang Moyan adjusted his breathing and calmed his fluctuating emotions. He turned back to Xiao Xingyu and said calmly, "It has nothing to do with your donation of equipment to Jiaotong University."
Xiao Xingyu frowned. He couldn't tell what Zhang Moyan was thinking from her expression.
"What's the reason? Tell me." He withdrew from the range of Zhang Moyan's legs, leaned his back against the wall, and put his other hand into his trouser pocket.
Zhang Moyan was stunned for a moment before she realized, yes, why break up? She was so focused on breaking up that she hadn't even thought about the reason for the breakup!!!
There was a moment of silence. There was no apparent conflict. Zhang Moyan replied vaguely, "You're fine. It's my problem."
Xiao Xingyu: "Oh? What's the problem?"
Zhang Moyan's eyes dodged: "...I don't think we are worthy."
