Cai Wenchuan glanced at her and felt all the blood rush to his face. Sure enough, she wanted to break up.
He was suddenly filled with fear and inner turmoil. He said urgently to her, "Xiaoyu, no need. There's no reason to take back what I gave you. Besides, what use would it be to me if I took it back? Who would I give it to?"
Ye Wenyu smiled slightly, but her resolve was even stronger, as firm as a rock. She said calmly to him, "Things have developed to this point, so I don't think I need to say more. In short, since things have come to this, I can no longer take your things." Cai Wenchuan took a step back, shaking his head, indicating that he refused to accept it.
His eyes reddened, glistening with tears. Ye Wenyu looked at him calmly, wondering if he was going to cry. It was a bit ridiculous; wasn't she the one who should be crying?
However, perhaps in her previous life, she had cried all her tears, and her heart had become as firm as a walnut, so in this life, she has no tears left.
Ye Wenyu stepped forward, took one of his cold hands, handed him the two bags, smiled slightly, and said calmly, "Goodbye!"
She turned away, her heart bleeding, but with a smile on her face. From now on, they would part ways peacefully and each find their own happiness.
She has her own life to live, and she is in charge of her own destiny!
Ye Wenyu returned all the gifts Cai Wenchuan had given her to him in front of him, and walked away without looking back. She stood tall and straight, her back as straight as a plumb bob, until she reached the corner and was absolutely certain that Cai Wenchuan could no longer see her. Only then did she slowly stop by leaning against a wall.
My heart feels like it's filled with memories of the past, and the pain is so intense I can't breathe.
A fine drizzle was falling from the sky, and her tears fell silently.
Life is truly bitter.
But only by living with self-respect and self-love can one find a little sweetness in bitterness.
As long as one is independent and self-respecting, life will be like a cup of tea—bitter for a while at most, but not for a lifetime.
She comforted herself, rallied her spirits, wiped away her tears, raised her head, and returned to the girls' dormitory in the drizzling rain.
Back in the dorm, she was still alone. The room was quiet, like a silent valley. Her roommates were still celebrating the Spring Festival at home. Today was only the third day of the Lunar New Year, and there were still sporadic firecrackers going off outside. S City had banned fireworks a long time ago, but some people still wanted to feel the New Year, so they bought electronic fireworks to set off.
Ye Wenyu hadn't worked for the past few days. Everyone was celebrating the New Year and there were no job opportunities, so she was in a very bad mood and went to bed to sleep.
My head felt like it was going to explode, and my body felt heavy, as if it were filled with lead.
She slept until dark, feeling no appetite, so she didn't go out to eat. She guessed it was past mealtime and the only open canteen had closed. She felt increasingly heavy, as if made of stone. She listened to the wind outside, howling like the howling of wolves in the north, or like a woman's heart-wrenching cry. The weather was getting worse and worse, and it seemed like it was going to snow heavily again. This was probably a late spring cold snap.
She was half asleep, thinking that people's feelings are like the weather, changing in an instant. Just two days ago, the sun was shining and the temperature was rising, and she thought spring was just around the corner. Unexpectedly, today the north wind is howling and the snow is falling heavily. It turns out that it is still the middle of winter.
Thinking back to how she had no further connection with Cai Wenchuan after that, she was all alone again. The two of them were like two ships sailing on a dark sea, their meeting only lasting a brief moment before they parted ways and headed towards their own unknown destinations.
Ye Wenyu felt as if she were being pricked by needles. When she first entered university, she felt like an orphan, abandoned by the whole world. It was Cai Wenchuan's appearance that brought her warmth, happiness, light, and hope. But now, he had left her. The two of them had become two parallel lines, with no possibility of intersecting again. His eyes and his heart were all given to another woman, Lin Tingyue.
Thinking of this, Ye Wenyu silently shed tears. That night, she felt as if she were made of water. She didn't know how much time had passed before she drifted off to sleep again, falling asleep with tears in her eyes.
When she woke up the next day, she felt the sunlight was so bright that she couldn't open her eyes. She raised her head slightly and looked out the window, only to find that the snow had stopped and the sun was out, shining with white sunlight. She could hear the sound of the snow melting.
I don't know what time it is, and I feel increasingly unwell; I don't even have the strength to get out of bed.
Why does her body feel as heavy as the earth? Why does she feel so uncomfortable all over, as if she has been beaten up? Why is she so afraid of the cold, even though she is covered in thick blankets and the doors and windows are closed, she is still shivering as if she is in an ice cellar?
She curled up in bed, hugging herself like a baby sleeping in its mother's womb, but she still felt cold. Finally, she struggled to get out of bed, wanting to find a thicker blanket to cover herself with, but found there wasn't one. She had also returned the Canada Goose down jacket to Cai Wenchuan. Helpless, she had no choice but to put on all her sweaters, hug herself tightly, and lie back down in bed.
She felt dizzy and lightheaded, her throat felt like it was on fire, and it felt like countless tiny people were stabbing her with steel awls in her brain. She hadn't eaten for two meals, and her whole body felt soft and weak, like cotton, yet she still didn't want to eat.
Her lips were dry, cracked, and peeling. She wanted to drink some hot water, but seeing that she had to go to the corridor to get hot water, she had no strength at all, so she just let herself be thirsty.
I felt unusually cold, but my cheeks and forehead were burning hot.
A call came in on her phone, the ringtone playing a sad tune. She reached out from under the covers to pick up the phone, but found she didn't even have the strength to do so. After struggling a few times, she finally managed to pick it up and realized it was Lin Tingfeng calling.
She tossed her phone onto the pillow, staring blankly at the ringing number, wondering why he was calling her. Didn't he say he wouldn't pursue her and had no feelings for her? Why was he calling her now?
She had been hurt by Cai Wenchuan; surely she wouldn't be foolish enough to seek solace from the man who had severely harmed her in her past life. Therefore, Ye Wenyu closed her eyes, letting her phone ring incessantly.
She is deaf and mute. Now, all she wants to do is hide in a corner where no one knows her, waiting for her wounds to heal on their own. She doesn't want anyone to disturb her.
The phone rang for a long time, several times every minute or two; Lin Tingfeng probably made many calls.
Ye Wenyu listened at first, but then she felt colder and colder, and her head became dizzy and she fell asleep again.
Ye Wenyu was startled awake by the loud banging outside. When she opened her eyes, she saw the dormitory supervisor and the principal!
They had already opened the door and come in.
