It's been three days already.
Because of the exam, Bai Xiaoruo was so busy that she completely forgot about needing to take her medicine within 48 hours.
In the past few days, Xian Mingyu has not contacted her again. They are like complete strangers, each busy with their own affairs, and neither of them is near the other.
That day felt like a dream; when I woke up, nothing was left.
However, there was one person who called and texted Bai Xiaoruo non-stop during these three days.
This put Bai Xiaoruo in a very difficult position. Not knowing how to respond, she could only pretend she didn't see or hear anything.
Sure enough, she had just finished dinner and gone upstairs when his phone rang again.
Bai Xiaoruo decided to accept the offer this time, at least to give an explanation for this relationship, and that running away all the time wasn't a problem.
It's time to make some things clear to him.
She sat on the edge of the bed, took a deep breath, and swiped the call button—
"Brother Ziqian, please don't call me anymore. We're not right for each other, let's just call it quits..."
[Xiao Ruo! Listen to me first, let's meet, okay? What happened last time was all my fault, I'm so sorry... Let's talk about these things face to face, okay?]
Bai Xiaoruo was silent for a few seconds. Should she say it to his face?
I'm afraid that if we were really face to face, I wouldn't be able to say it.
"No need, Brother Ziqian, there's really no need to meet again... I used to regard you as a brother, thinking you were genuinely good to me... I was wrong. No one is ever unconditionally good to anyone; everyone has their own motives..." Bai Xiaoru smiled bitterly. Yes, everyone approached her with their own agenda.
Ji Ziqian was like this, and so was Xian Mingyu.
If it weren't for this face and this body, what else would they have to cherish about her?
L City really wore her out.
She was tired and didn't want to continue with anyone. She wanted to let go of everything and start a new life.
Go somewhere where nobody knows her, and become a completely new Bai Xiaoruo.
"Brother Ziqian, please don't call again. I'm moving soon, and we won't see each other again..."
[Moving? Xiaoruo, where are you moving to? Are you really willing to leave Shushu? You two are such good friends...]
Bai Xiaoru interrupted him, "Brother Ziqian, stop using Shushu as a shield... Every time we were alone together before, I knew it was all arranged by Shushu. Every time Shushu invited me out, it was you who ended up meeting me, which was also arranged by you and Shushu... I'm not stupid, I understand everything. Feelings really can't be forced. I can only say I'm sorry... Brother Ziqian, let's break up. Even if you treat me like a stranger from now on, even if you hate me, it doesn't matter. I'm really tired."
[No! No! Xiaoruo, I really know I was wrong. I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have listened to that woman. Even if something happens between you and Xianmingyu again, I won't mind. Xiaoruo, I really don't want to lose you. Please give me another chance, okay? I promise I'll change! I'm right outside your door now. Come out and see me. Let's talk things out face to face. Please listen to my explanation, okay?]
What? He's outside her house?
Bai Xiaoruo drew back the curtains of the French windows, and sure enough, Ji Ziqian was standing anxiously pacing at the door, holding a very unique bouquet of gardenias.
He mentioned a woman on the phone just now. Could it be that the drug was given to Ji Ziqian by that woman?
Who exactly is that woman? Does she know her too?
Bai Xiaoruo glanced back at her nearly packed luggage on the ground. She decided to just talk to him face-to-face and persuade him to go back, then she could pack her own luggage later.
She hung up the phone and went straight downstairs.
Ji Ziqian was extremely anxious outside the door. He had been calling for a long time, but the guards inside wouldn't open the door for him. This was something Feng Zhiyuan had instructed beforehand: Ji Ziqian absolutely could not be allowed to come in and see Bai Xiaoruo.
When he finally saw Bai Xiaoruo come out on her own initiative, he knew that he had won another bet on her soft heart.
His hands gripped the railing tightly as he looked at her anxiously. "Xiao Ruo! Xiao Ruo, open the door and let me in first, we..."
"No need. I won't open the door, and I don't want to say too much to you. Please don't show up again in the future. Brother Ziqian, I used to really consider you my own brother. I remember all the good things you did for me and I was very touched. But now... it's all over. Let's wipe the slate clean."
"Xiao Ruo, let me explain, it's not what you think! I was really out of my mind. That woman said she gave me sleeping pills, that they would just make you fall asleep. I really didn't expect it to be..."
Bai Xiaoruo didn't want to waste any more words with him. Wouldn't talking back and forth just make his intentions even more obvious?
She interrupted him hastily, "What about sleeping pills? What about love potions? Isn't your goal to get me?"
"Brother Ziqian, is it that I never saw your true colors, or... I shouldn't have agreed to be with you in the first place, which made you have so many thoughts about me?"
Ji Ziqian was speechless when questioned.
Yes... he's become so ruthless in his pursuit of her...
I deserve to die!
"Xiao Ruo, do you really have to break up with me? Did you... get back together with Xian Mingyu after that night? You moved... are you going back to live with him? Am I really that much worse than him? Why have you never seen me? You're willing to do anything with him, but when it comes to me, you're always unwilling and resist my approach... If that's the case, why did you use me to be with me!"
