Chapter 153 Don't Even Think About Escaping
"Song Zhiwei, why do you still remember these things?"
Sheng Tingzhou looked at her, his dark eyes behind his glasses holding a hint of unspoken expectation.
When they broke up three years ago, she left very decisively, as if she wanted to sever all ties with the past.
Wearing that familiar dress, she left the room without looking back, not even telling him the reason for the breakup.
The door closed softly, leaving behind a room full of silence and an unsolved mystery.
Since they've already broken up, why does she still remember his preferences?
This seems like an illogical and confusing behavior.
Three years have passed, and those old habits and memories should have faded away with time.
"Because these are all memories that make me happy."
Her voice carried a gentle quality, like a ray of sunshine piercing through the clouds, giving people a warm feeling.
Song Zhiwei smiled charmingly and tapped her head with her finger, "I will never forget this in my entire life."
The coldness on Sheng Tingzhou's handsome face seemed to be about to break, and a hint of doubt and hesitation flashed in his eyes.
He didn't understand why she would say that; these memories were both sweet and painful to him.
"now that……"
His voice was low and slightly trembling, "Since you felt happy in the past, why did you break up with me?"
This question had been buried in his heart for too long, like a heavy stone weighing on his mind for three whole years.
Actually, this question should have been answered three years ago.
But at that time, he chose to remain silent because he was afraid of hearing answers he didn't want to hear.
But now, when the opportunity has presented itself again, he can no longer resist breaking the silence.
Looking into Sheng Tingzhou's persistent and profound eyes, Song Zhiwei's smile remained unchanged, and her eyes even curved into crescent shapes with happiness.
That smile made her even more beautiful and charming, as if everything else had become less important.
"So, how about we get back together?"
Her words sounded like a joke, but her eyes were serious.
She gently raised her hand to support her chin, staring intently at him, not wanting to miss any subtle changes in his facial expression.
"What did you say?"
Sheng Tingzhou initially thought he had misheard.
He just asked about the reason for the breakup, and now she's actually inviting him to get back together?
All of this happened so suddenly that he couldn't accept it for a while.
What makes her think he would agree?
Song Zhiwei seemed to sense Sheng Tingzhou's confusion and explained it to him with a smile.
"Sheng Tingzhou, what's past is past. There's no point in dwelling on the reasons. Why not think about how to live a happier life in the future?"
Her words were filled with hope for the future, as if all the pain could be forgotten.
Sheng Tingzhou was so angry at Song Zhiwei's words that he couldn't speak, and the veins on both sides of his ears behind his glasses bulged faintly.
This sudden turn of events surprised and angered him, his emotions fluctuating wildly as if he had been thrown into boiling water.
"We need to start over, hugging, kissing, and even..." just like before.
She didn't finish her sentence, but an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air.
All of this seemed more direct than any words, making Sheng Tingzhou's heart race.
"I refuse."
Before Song Zhiwei could finish speaking, Sheng Tingzhou decisively interrupted her, his tone filled with firmness and determination.
This attitude instilled a chilling sense of oppression in everyone present.
He quickly stood up from his chair, his whole body trembling slightly with anger, his eyes blazing with fury as if they held a bottomless abyss of darkness.
At this moment, Sheng Tingzhou felt only extreme dissatisfaction with the meaning behind Song Zhiwei's words and deep hurt from having his self-worth questioned.
He felt that asking the other person if they were willing to start over was utterly stupid and absurd.
In his view, this woman had absolutely no sincerity towards him!
All that remains is indifference and alienation.
This thought was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart, making him unable to tolerate any false expression of emotion.
Therefore, every action and expression of Sheng Tingzhou conveyed the same message: don't waste each other's time with any more words or actions.
As he turned to leave, Sheng Tingzhou's proud and aloof back seemed to declare to the world his determination and unwavering resolve.
Every step he took was exceptionally firm and without hesitation.
That resolute power was not only reflected in his footsteps, but also deeply etched into the air, making people involuntarily feel an irresistible and powerful aura.
Seeing this, Song Zhiwei immediately stood up from her seat and hurriedly chased after them.
Although she was extremely anxious, she tried her best to remain calm. "Sheng Tingzhou, if you don't want to continue dating, then forget it..."
He shouted those words with almost all his might.
Unfortunately, Sheng Tingzhou, who was already near the cafeteria exit, did not respond to her at this moment.
Song Zhiwei had no choice but to raise her voice and call out to the receding figure ahead, "Sheng Tingzhou..."
"If we don't become boyfriend and girlfriend, how about we become friends with benefits?"
He still has that bold and direct personality, which will never change, no matter when or where.
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, even the nurses who were just passing by couldn't help but stop in their tracks.
Their surprised gazes instantly converged on Director Liu of the psychiatry department, as if they had suddenly discovered a completely new face—a Sheng Tingzhou who was completely different from the rigorous and conservative figure they knew.
Sheng Tingzhou was completely taken aback by Song Zhiwei's sudden suggestion. His expression turned increasingly ashen and even distorted.
Clearly, her words had greatly crossed his bottom line, stirring up the deepest, most subtle yet incredibly strong sense of resistance within him.
So he suddenly stopped, turned around quickly, and strode toward the girl who was still standing there waiting for an answer.
When Song Zhiwei saw Sheng Tingzhou turn around, a smug smile appeared on her face again.
The smile seemed to carry a hint of victory, as if telling Sheng Tingzhou that she had won this round.
"Have you thought it through and decided to say yes...?"
Sheng Tingzhou's voice was low and slow, each word carrying a sense of suppressed emotion, as if warning Song Zhiwei not to easily challenge his bottom line.
Sheng Tingzhou covered Song Zhiwei's shameless face with one hand, grabbed her waist with the other, and dragged her away.
He held her tightly, as if afraid she would escape.
He couldn't let her say anything out of line in the hospital and ruin his reputation!
Sheng Tingzhou was filled with anger and anxiety. The aloof image he had painstakingly built up over three years of working at the hospital had been completely ruined by this woman in just one day!
