"Didn't you say you would wait for me for four years?"
She stared at me with tears in her eyes and questioned me in a sobbing voice.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but frown. I tried to recall what I had said that night. I had indeed drunk too much that night, and I couldn't quite recall what I had said at the time. But after careful reflection, I realized that it was indeed the case. My emotions became extremely complicated. I wanted to meet her eyes, but I didn't dare to meet theirs. I stood there for a moment, not knowing how to answer her. I simply sat down on the floor across from her, head bowed, and remained silent.
Seeing this, Ye Yao smiled sadly, staring at me, and said in a disappointed tone, "You are usually so talkative and chatty, why are you not saying a word now?"
After a pause, he continued, "Do you think your promise is ridiculous?"
Her words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves in my heart. I was conflicted and opened my mouth, about to say, "I..."
Bang!
A slap hit me in the face.
Her eyes were already blurred with tears, but she still stared into my eyes and yelled at me angrily: "Look at me! What do you think?" It seemed as if she wanted to convey all the grievances, sadness and anger in her heart to me through this look.
I gritted my teeth and said, "I thought we were over."
When Ye Yao heard this, she cried even harder, tears streaming down her face. She asked me loudly, her voice thick with tears: "Then what did you promise? Tell me! Since you promised to wait for me for four years, why are you saying it's over now?"
I also felt a surge of grievance and unwillingness in my heart, and became a little agitated. I shouted at her: "Why were you so decisive at that time? Why didn't you answer my call? Why didn't you reply to my message! You even deleted the last contact information! Do you know how painful it was for me at that time? I thought you were determined to break up with me, so why should I keep my promise?" The more I spoke, the more suffocated I felt, and my eyes unconsciously turned red. I just stared at her, waiting for her response.
Ye Yao slowly raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were filled with a hint of stubbornness and determination as she looked straight at me. She said with a hint of complaint in her tone, "Yes! I might have been too angry at the time and didn't understand the situation, but did I warn you before to stay away from her? And what did you do?"
Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly felt guilty. I was indeed drunk that day, and it was the woman who approached me, but I didn't do anything. It's just that the scene at that time was indeed easy to misunderstand. But now, I didn't know how to refute it, so I just stammered, "I didn't do it. Did you listen to my explanation?"
Ye Yao burst into tears, a cold smile on her face, that smile was full of disappointment and sadness. She asked me with a tearful voice: "If you saw me being hugged by a man, what would you think? What would you do!"
I was left speechless by her series of questions. I could only stand there in a daze, my mind in a mess.
My thoughts suddenly drifted back to that time.
I woke up early in the morning. When I opened my eyes, I saw Ye Yao still sleeping soundly in my arms.
He gently pushed her
"Get up, otherwise it will be bad if uncle and aunt see you."
Ye Yao was sleeping in a daze. When she heard what I said, instead of getting up, she rubbed against me.
Seeing this, I sighed helplessly and reached out to pinch her face gently.
She immediately reached out and hit my hand without even opening her eyes, mumbling, "Stop it, let me sleep a little longer."
Seeing Ye Yao lying in bed, I had no choice but to get up, quickly put on my clothes, and then quietly washed up and went downstairs, thinking about whether there was any housework I could do.
I looked around downstairs, but couldn't find anything that needed to be cleaned up after a long time. Finally, since I had nothing to do, I picked up the broom and swept the living room randomly. In fact, there was no garbage on the floor, I was just looking for something to do.
While I was sweeping, Ye Yao's mother came down from the stairs. When she saw me, she immediately showed a kind smile on her face and said, "Sleep a little longer. Why are you getting up so early? Just treat this place as your own home."
I smiled and responded, "I'm used to it at school. I'm used to getting up early."
When her mother heard this, she said, "Then I'll go cook."
I quickly said, "Let me help you."
Her mother quickly waved her hand and said, "No, just take a rest."
But I still insisted on following her to the kitchen to help her pick vegetables and cut meat.
"Cooking at home?"
When I heard that, I felt a little embarrassed. I scratched my head and said, "I haven't done much."
Her mother looked at the mess I was making, smiled and said, "No wonder, it's okay that Ye Yao can cook, but you still have to learn how to make it. I'll teach you. When you two live together in the future, one of you will always be away from home because of something."
In the afternoon, Ye Yao and I walked leisurely on the path near her home.
Ye Yao took my arm openly, and when she met neighbors, she would greet them warmly and introduce me to them.
"This is my boyfriend."
As I was walking, my cell phone suddenly rang. It was Lao Li calling. I quickly picked up the phone and heard Lao Li say, "Xiao Yu, come and help with your last day of work. The store is a bit busy today." I quickly agreed. After all, there was indeed a lot of things to do in the store these two days.
After hanging up the phone, I looked at Ye Yao and asked, "Are you going?" She listened, shook her head, and said, "I have to spend a day with my parents today. I haven't been home much in the past few months, and I want to spend more time with them." I listened and said, "Okay, then I'll go. Please tell my uncle and aunt for me."
