When Song Ci heard this familiar voice, his body stiffened for a moment, and it took him a while to recover.
She knew that she would run into him sooner or later, but she never thought it would be at this dinner party.
She had almost forgotten it, but unexpectedly, at this moment, just a voice brought back her memories.
She cursed herself in her heart. She hadn't thought about him for a long time and had forgotten him...
I never thought...
Just a voice...
She knew it was him...
She sighed softly. So what if it was him?
The past is the past...
Where can I look back?
Looking back, there's no point, not to mention...
Oh, what's more, it was him who let go, not me. If anyone should regret it, he should be the one...
The memory seems to go back to that afternoon:
After they watched the sunset, he walked her downstairs to the dormitory.
The sunset that day was beautiful, so beautiful that she wanted to keep it. She still clearly remembered how happy and excited she was that day, so much so that she ignored his abnormal behavior that day. Only after he finished speaking did she react belatedly.
She was incredulous: "You want to break up with me?"
She couldn't understand why her boyfriend, who had been playing with her for a day, broke up with her without any warning. There was no quarrel or conflict between them. The breakup just came out of nowhere. She didn't know why at the time.
What did he say? He seemed to say: Yes.
Song Ci's face suddenly turned cold after hearing his words. He lost all his excitement and asked calmly, "Why? Give me a reason."
Chi Nan: "I'm going back to my country."
He said it calmly. Song Ci looked at him and he didn't look fake. For a moment she couldn't figure out why.
Do I have to break up if I return home? Is long-distance relationships really that painful? Besides, my studies are almost finished, so it's not like I can't go back.
She couldn't understand it at all, especially since he had never told her that he was going back to his country.
As his girlfriend, she only found out about it on the day her boyfriend returned to China. It was really funny and outrageous.
Song Ci suppressed his inner emotions and asked calmly, "Return to the country?"
"Um."
"when?"
"Wait." He didn't react at all, and spoke so smoothly, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.
"When was it decided?" Song Ci would rather believe that he made this decision on impulse than to believe that it was decided long ago.
"A month ago."
His answer shattered her last shred of fantasy. She had originally thought something had happened at home. Since it was arranged a month ago, it meant that everything was normal, except that he had never told her.
She treated him as a lover and he treated her as a passerby. It was so funny, so funny that she found it a little outrageous.
"We're breaking up just because I'm going back to my country? Who do you think I am? Do you think I'm just a tool for you to relieve loneliness in a foreign country?" Song Ci couldn't help but asked.
After hearing her say this, Chi Nan finally became a little uneasy. He was afraid that she was thinking of him in this way. He liked her not because of loneliness, but because of her.
He didn't want to go back to his country, but he had no choice. His suppressed emotions became a little uneasy after hearing these words.
He hurriedly grabbed her hand and defended himself, "No, I really like you."
Song Ci stared at him unappreciatively: "Then give me a reason, otherwise, I won't accept it."
Song Ci just thought he was joking. How could it be possible? She herself couldn't figure it out. What kind of international joke was he playing out of the blue?
"I...I'm going back to get engaged..." Chi Nan struggled for a long time, with a hint of heartache in his eyes, but finally said it.
Song Ci looked at him in shock. She shook his hand away. "You want to get engaged? You have a girlfriend, and you're still messing with me? You bastard."
She really didn't expect that her boyfriend, who she had been with for two years, would be such a person. She was so blind to turn her into a mistress.
Chi Nan looked at her and was completely panicked, "No, it's not like that, listen to my explanation..." He was trying to coax her while talking nonsense.
Song Ci waved his hand away without hesitation and said calmly, "I'll listen to your explanation. Go ahead."
"My mom came to me a few days ago and told me that if I continued dating you, she would ruin your studies. I know this is very important to you, so I can't joke about your studies. And I don't know that girl, it's not what you think."
Chi Nan's explanation did not make Song Ci feel much sympathy for him.
"So, your mother asked you to get engaged, and you agreed?"
"What can I do? I can't protect you right now. Wait for me, I will come back and take you away." He assured her.
"Do you think I, Song Ci, would go with a married man? What do you think of me?" She didn't expect that he would look at her like this.
"What do you mean married? No, I won't make it real with her. I'll wait until the time is right..."
"When is the right time? What do you think of another girl?"
"I……"
"Why didn't you discuss it with me and just make the decision on your own? Did you ask me?"
"What's the point of discussing this with you? Are you just from an ordinary background?" Chi Nan yelled. He sacrificed for her, but she questioned herself like this.
"Are you disgusted with my identity?" Song Ci asked him coldly, staring at him. She originally wanted to confess her identity, but now it seems that there is no need.
Chi Nan defended himself: "I didn't?"
"Well, I'll give you a chance now. Stay and call off the engagement."
"impossible."
"I'll ask you one last time, will you withdraw?"
"I can't retreat. You don't know the dilemma I face as a member of the Chi family..." Chi Nan hesitated.
"Stop. No matter what makes you feel embarrassed, you never asked me whether I am willing or not from the beginning to the end. In this case, I respect your choice. Let's go. From now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other." Song Ci said in a resolute tone, and Chi Nan was discouraged.
"Why are you always like this..."
"What am I always like?"
"You're always so aloof, as if you can't accept anything that doesn't go your way."
"Then how do you want me to accept it? Be your lover? Be your mistress?"
"No, why do you say such harsh words?"
