Chapter 121 Weiwei, let's break up
Ji Mingxiu led her to the center.
He looked at her gently and held her hands.
I tried my best to suppress the tension and a strange sense of unease in my heart.
“Weiwei, we’ve known each other for ten years.” He smiled.
Bo Wei's eyelashes fluttered. Ten years? That's a long time.
Ji Mingxiu was taller than her, and when he looked down, he could only see her thick hair and upturned nose, so he couldn't see her eyes clearly.
The smile on his face gradually turned bitter.
Ten years have passed, and she still hasn't fallen in love with him.
Is she unwavering or heartless?
"From that first fleeting glimpse to chasing after you for so many years, we have finally come together now."
“Life doesn’t offer that many decades, and we’re not young anymore. Our families genuinely want us to settle down soon. I don’t want to waste any more time, so…” Perhaps due to nervousness, he stopped there.
Bo Wei lowered her eyes, her face calm and expressionless.
It seems to be quietly waiting for something to happen.
It's as if it's struggling in silence.
Ji Mingxiu tightened his grip on her hand, and after a long while, as if making a decision, a firmness appeared in his complex eyes.
He released her hand and took a small blue velvet box out of his pocket.
As it slowly opens, the diamond refracts a dazzling fire under the light.
Bo Wei was dazzled by the fiery colors, as if she had finally woken up.
Ji Mingxiu bent his knees, but before he could kneel down, Bo Wei supported his arm.
This support.
The two of them stood frozen in place like puppets.
Ji Mingxiu felt his whole body stiff; his knees were stiff, his eyes were stiff, and his mind was stiff.
I had never felt this before; my heart sank sharply, as if a piece of it had collapsed.
The terrifying sense of loss overwhelmed him and consumed him.
It eroded and engulfed him until he was completely absorbed, all his strength drained away.
The tension and stiffness in his body slowly dissipated, and his expression became numb and indifferent.
For Bo Wei, that support had used up almost all her strength.
Like a fish out of water, struggling to breathe.
"I'm sorry," she managed to squeeze out, her voice hoarse.
The simple "I'm sorry" was the final straw that broke Ji Mingxiu's back.
He took two steps back, looking down at the diamond ring in his hand, which shone with dazzling light mercilessly.
"I thought our marriage would be a natural progression," he said, a bleak smile playing on his lips.
Bo Wei didn't dare to look up at him, overwhelmed with guilt. "I'm sorry."
“Weiwei, you did nothing wrong. You have the right to refuse a choice you don’t want.” Li He was right; she didn’t need to take full responsibility for her own single decision.
"What were your feelings when you agreed to be with me?"
Bo Wei remained silent for a long time.
Ji Mingxiu: "I want to hear the truth."
"Loneliness, and reluctance, I can't bear to see your persistent efforts yield no results."
His persistence seemed somewhat pathetic to her, because she knew his heart had not wavered in the slightest.
Sure enough, the ring box in his hand was almost deformed from his grip.
“For so many years, you’ve never fallen for anyone. I thought you would always be like that.” He said with great resentment, his eyes slightly red. “But I just realized that you can also fall for a man.”
He approached, looking down at her and pressing her for an answer, his voice resentful, "Weiwei, what do you like about him? Why did you fall for him so quickly?"
Bo Wei felt a pang of sadness, feeling sorry for Ji Mingxiu and thinking it was unfair. "I don't know."
He looked away and glanced at the bag still hanging on her shoulder. Was it expensive? Couldn't he afford it?
How much is this bag?
Bo Wei stared at him blankly, her eyes reddening, wondering why he suddenly asked, "One thousand five hundred."
He laughed, "I can afford it."
Bo Wei instantly understood what he meant, looked away, and tears welled up in her eyes.
It wasn't about the money; she knew Ji Mingxiu definitely knew, but he was just looking for a plausible excuse to comfort himself.
"Would you have said yes to me if it weren't for him?"
Bo Wei remained silent.
She had always thought that one day she would marry Ji Mingxiu.
But which day is 'one day'?
She didn't answer, but Ji Mingxiu knew her answer.
This farce should come to an end today.
He looked at her for a long time.
His eyes lingered, as if he were forgetting, yet also as if he were remembering.
His jaw trembled slightly.
He couldn't bring himself to say the words "break up."
He said he would regret it for the rest of his life.
But if I don't say anything, I can't keep her heart.
His red-haired eyes were fixed on her, his whole body tense, and he suddenly hugged the person in front of him tightly.
He hugged her tightly, so tightly that he wanted to pull her into his body and make her belong to him.
Bo Wei was being strangled so tightly she could barely breathe, but she didn't struggle.
She sensed his sadness, but was powerless to help.
A warm drop landed on her snow-white neck, trickling down her skin, leaving her feeling slightly itchy and moist.
Her nose stung with tears, and her fingertips trembled as they hung at her sides.
She did have feelings for Ji Mingxiu, but they weren't romantic.
For a very long time.
Ji Mingxiu said in a hoarse voice, "Weiwei, let's break up."
At this moment, Bo Wei's strongest feeling was not relief, but heartache.
Tears streamed into the corner of her mouth; they were salty. "Okay."
This hug ended Ji Mingxiu's ten-year unrequited love.
It also lifted the stone that had been weighing on Bo Wei's heart.
Ji Mingxiu finally let go of her and saw that her face was covered in tears. He raised his hand to wipe them away.
His movements remained gentle, but with a greater degree of restraint.
"Let me tidy up." He glanced around the living room. "The sound of popping balloons might be a bit loud, don't be startled. Go and rest."
He tore the balloons off the wall, popped them, and threw them on the ground.
Bo Wei didn't rush into the house. Instead, she picked up the flowers from the ground and placed them on the dining table.
Ji Mingxiu glanced at it, then looked away and continued tidying up.
After changing her shoes at the door, she went back inside, took out a vase, and then brought over the vase from the living room.
"It's a shame to throw the flowers away, shall I put them in the vase?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Mingxiu turned to look at her, smiled slightly, and nodded, "Okay."
Two days passed, and Li He still hadn't received a response from Ji Mingxiu.
He didn't care.
I just looked at the flight information someone had just sent me on my phone, as well as the confirmation that my booking had been successful.
With the National Day holiday approaching, a sense of longing for freedom seems to permeate the city.
The entire group was busy, but everyone's eyes shone brighter than ever before.
As it was nearing the end of the workday, the office was filled with restlessness.
Yu Yanming: "My wife has already picked up the kids from kindergarten, and we'll be on the highway after get off work!"
Qiao Yuechuan: "Remember to play the essential song, 'Blue Lotus,' nothing can stop us!"
Lin Fangfei: "Hahaha, it's rush hour and also National Day, the roads out of the city must be jammed. I'll go back first to stock up on supplies, and then set off when there are fewer people at night, hehe."
Wendy was unusually excited. "Let's report in the group about any good food or fun activities, and then we can switch places next time."
"Yes, yes, yes, post a warning too!" Zhou Yang hurriedly typed on the keyboard, taking a moment to speak, "Friendly reminder, be careful when you see cars on the road that are either very clean or very dirty, they may be the kind of cars that need to fill up their tanks every year."
