Ji Yao's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she quickly concealed her emotions and said calmly, "I've already said it. My affairs are none of your business."
She kept telling herself not to be fooled by his current tenderness; how could he possibly like her…
Isn't being rejected time and time again enough? Ji Yao, you need to have some self-awareness and some shame. If you've been hurt so many times and still don't repent and let him hurt you, then...
Then she's really being incredibly shameless!
"Working day and night like this, you're bound to be skipping meals again. Have you forgotten you have a stomach problem?"
Ji Yao paused as she clicked the mouse, her heart trembling. Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, she said with some difficulty, "You don't need to worry about my affairs. I can take care of myself. If there's nothing else, you can go back."
Mo Yanyu continued talking to herself as if she hadn't heard a word.
"What would you like to eat? Like before, cold noodles?"
Ji Yao only paused on his face for two seconds before immediately looking away and replying indifferently.
People change; just because you liked something before doesn't mean you'll like it now.
"..."
Mo Yanyu paused for a few seconds and then asked, "What do you want to eat now? I'll go buy it for you."
"You wouldn't be trying to take responsibility for what happened that night, would you?"
"..." He remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Ji Yao glanced at him with a half-smile, her lips curled in sarcasm, "Still feeling sorry for me? Guilty?"
Mo Yanyu lowered her eyes, neither admitting nor denying.
"I didn't expect you to be such a conservative person." Ji Yao's gaze became complicated.
So it turns out... it was all just wishful thinking on her part. How could he possibly fall in love with her?
It's just because of that incident that I feel guilty towards myself...
Ji Yao, that's enough, that's really enough!
After being hurt so many times, she still...remains unrepentant, clinging to a sliver of hope because of his slightest gentleness...
Isn't that enough? Why do we never learn from our mistakes?
Ji Yao, can't you retain even the last shred of dignity for yourself? Do you really want to be repeatedly trampled underfoot like this...?
Ji Yao curved her lips into an ambiguous smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes; instead, it was desolate and cold.
"Perhaps I should go along with your ideas, or even simply cling to you and make you take responsibility. I think you would agree, right?"
Isn't that just his personality?
Either you insist on breaking up completely...
Either it's out of guilt that they feel they have to take full responsibility...
"So if I wanted your heart, would you give it to me?"
Mo Yanyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, his expression remained unchanged, but he didn't say a word. He sat there silently, his back to the light, so Ji Yao couldn't see his expression clearly.
But she thought, he must not want to!
She tightened the curve of her lips and said coldly, "However, it's none of your business. After all, what happened that night was my own choice. Even if it wasn't you, it would have been someone else. So you don't need to feel guilty or want to make amends, because I don't need to."
Do you feel guilty?
Ha, why should she accept him just because he feels guilty? She doesn't care anymore. No matter how good he is or how reluctant she is to let go, she will never go back to an old flame, especially since... he's only with her because he feels guilty...
Love isn't a favor. She used to be able to deceive herself, but after this period of time, she didn't want to continue like that. Could she forgive herself for a lifetime by deceiving herself? She thought, she couldn't…
Mo Yanyu lowered her brows, seemingly displeased with her words. Her brows furrowed, and a hint of depth appeared in her usually aloof and indifferent eyes.
He didn't say anything, but he stood firmly in place and didn't leave.
They have clearly stated their position.
Ji Yao stood up coldly, her right hand clenched tightly, her short nails digging into her palm, leaving rows of finger marks. "Don't make me look down on you."
After saying that, she walked out without looking back. Her straight back looked beautiful, but it also carried a hint of stiffness.
Ji Yao went into the restroom, and tears finally streamed down her face uncontrollably. Her last words were a warning to herself: don't let yourself despise yourself…
...
Mo Qing originally planned to follow her brother to see where he was going, but halfway there, Yao Yao called her to the airport and told her that she had some business to attend to in Beijing and was just going to have some fun. She asked if Mo Qing wanted to come along.
Mo Qing didn't care at all. Anyway, she didn't have any classes recently, so she could go wherever she wanted.
So she followed Ji Yao all the way to the capital. Her original intention was to get together with Yao Yao, which was because it had been a long time since they had met up. However, as soon as they checked into the hotel, Yao Yao was called away, seemingly because she had something to take care of.
Mo Qing shrugged helplessly. Luckily, she was in the best room, which had a computer, so she found a movie to pass the time.
However, around three or four in the afternoon, Yao Yao still hadn't returned. Mo Qing, who was hungry due to her recent diet plan, was about to go out and buy some fruit to make a fruit salad.
Mo Qing leisurely took the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor. As soon as she stepped off the elevator, she heard two girls in waitress uniforms chatting happily, their voices filled with barely concealed excitement.
"Let me tell you, I just served some super handsome men."
"Really?"
"Seriously, those men are definitely not ordinary people. They're incredibly manly, and the one leading them is absolutely handsome!"
