(159)
Ye Wenyu didn't want to endure such humiliation anymore! But could she escape all of this?
There is no way forward, and there is no way back either. Like a gazelle butting against a fence, it cannot advance, nor can it retreat.
Lin Tingfeng glanced at her and immediately knew the reason for her pain. He smiled slightly and asked her gently, "Unhappy, huh?"
Ye Wenyu remained silent, turning her face away to look out the window. The night was pitch black, like a dark, stagnant sea. It instilled a strong sense of unease, a feeling that life was like a broken stalk or a floating duckweed.
To cheer her up, Lin Tingfeng said to her in a lighthearted tone, "I'll take you to a fun place."
Ye Wenyu remained motionless in the same position, like a stone statue, a soulless doll, seemingly oblivious to his words and therefore offering no reaction. She pretended to look out the window, but in reality, she couldn't see anything.
Lin Tingfeng wisely fell silent. He started the car engine and drove out of the campus. He thought painfully, "Xiaoyu must both love and hate me. How long can her love for me last in the face of such immense hatred? Once that love is gone, can they still be together?"
He had always stood at the top of power, always thinking that he could control everything and get whatever he wanted. But now, he realized that there were times when he was powerless.
He remembered a line from the Bible that said, "Love is like chasing the wind," meaning that loving someone means being utterly powerless. He could assure himself that he would love her for a long time, but he couldn't be sure how long she would love him.
She was a young and beautiful flower that drifted into the abyss of his life. He had thought he would live out his life numbly, depressed, strong, cold, and world-weary, but she suddenly entered his life, rekindling his passion for life. He began to have something to care about, and then he found happiness.
While Lin Tingfeng was deep in thought, Ye Wenyu assumed he was focused on driving, so she turned around gently and stared blankly at his back as he concentrated on driving.
His back was as straight as a plumb bob.
She thought sadly that she had suffered so much injustice, and her roommate's sarcastic remarks were like needles pricking her back and piercing her heart. Her heart was bleeding, but she still loved this man!
What exactly does she love about him?
Do you love his handsome features, tall and muscular physique, or his status, wealth, power, and the deep scheming within his inner circle?
He doesn't love her at all! If he loved her, he could have divorced his wife and been with her openly. The reason he didn't do that is because he thought she wasn't good enough for him, right?
A profound sense of humiliation, like a thick veil, once again tightly enveloped her thoughts. The more Ye Wenyu thought about it, the angrier and more pained she became. Suddenly, she felt like she was suffocating, like a fish thrown ashore, feeling that she could no longer stay in this cramped carriage. She suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "Stop the car."
Lin Tingfeng paused, released his foot from the accelerator, and slowed down the car, but he did not stop because there were no parking spaces nearby and the car was in the turbulent traffic and could not stop.
Seeing that Lin Tingfeng did not stop the car, Ye Wenyu shouted sharply again, "I want to get out of the car!" and began to pound on the car door with her fists, losing control of her emotions.
Lin Tingfeng was quite surprised to see the girl acting like a crazed little beast. He could only remain silent and try his best to calm himself down. He drove the car to a square and parked it.
Ye Wenyu immediately pushed open the car door and rushed out, like a white rabbit escaping a fierce lion. Lin Tingfeng was worried that something might happen to her, so he hurriedly got out of the car after her and chased after her in a few quick steps.
A sense of helplessness once again overwhelmed him, causing him immense pain.
This was the first time they had argued since they started dating.
Unexpectedly, it started to rain. It was a September evening, and the raindrops, like silver threads, shimmered under the dim yellow streetlights.
The cold air seeps into the body.
Ye Wenyu stumbled along in the rain, walking silently for a moment before suddenly bursting into tears. It was as if the raindrops had given her a reason to let her emotions run wild. She cried in the rain so that even if others saw her, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between rain and tears. She cried silently, tears streaming down her face, her body trembling uncontrollably. Feeling cold, she hugged herself with her hands. She continued walking, crying, not knowing where she was going. The world was vast, yet there was no place for her. Just now, she had really wanted to stay in the same car as Lin Tingfeng.
She was ridiculed by her roommate for more than ten days, living in the terrible shadow of "she is someone's mistress". She even became neurotic, thinking that thanks to her roommate's big mouth, the dark fact that "she is someone's mistress" had become known to everyone. When she walked on the street, she always felt that the strangers she met knew about her shameful affair, were talking about her in whispers, and were looking down on her.
She felt fear and could only hug herself tighter.
Love is supposed to bring happiness, but for her, it was like taking a poison pill. After tasting the sugar coating on the outside, what followed was the toxicity that destroyed her life.
"Wen Yu—" Lin Tingfeng called urgently from behind, but she pretended not to hear and continued walking forward with her head down. All she longed for was for someone to love her, but the man who called her name didn't love her at all, so she was heartbroken and disheartened.
"Xiaoyu—" Lin Tingfeng finally caught up, reaching out a hand to grasp her slender, fair wrist. Ye Wenyu gritted her teeth, trying to break free, but his large hand was like an iron wrist, holding her tightly. She struggled several times without success, and in the end, she cried even harder, her shoulders trembling and tears streaming down her face.
Lin Tingfeng asked her urgently, "What are you thinking? Tell me the rain is too heavy outside, come to the car with me, and we can talk things out." His face, usually expressionless like an iceberg, was now filled with pain and urgency.
Ye Wenyu looked at Lin Tingfeng's face through the rain. In that instant, she was shocked and surprised that he would be so upset and anxious because of her.
Is this an illusion, or is it real?
He finally took off his mask.
All she was looking for was proof that he cared about her and loved her.
Therefore, seeing him like this, she suddenly lost control of her emotions and shouted at Lin Tingfeng, "Lin Tingfeng! If I were rich and powerful, do you think I would still be with someone like you?!"
Anger and humiliation blazed in her eyes; she gritted her teeth, her face ashen.
Lin Tingfeng was stunned. Ye Wenyu pulled away from his hand and cried, "You only bully me because I'm a poor girl and because I love you! So, you bully me like everyone else." She angrily clenched her fists and rushed forward, pounding her fists on his chest.
