Chapter 209
The next day was the weekend and Zhong Ling didn't have to go to work.
However, his sleep schedule has always been regular, so he naturally wakes up around eight o'clock in the morning.
Last night, Nan Yan was forced to adjust her schedule with this man. With Mr. Zhong's repeated assurances and requests, the two finally slept in the same room. Apart from cuddling, they didn't do anything extra. But the next day, when Mr. Zhong woke up, he took her out of the quilt.
It's not quite right to say that it was picking her up, it should be considered harassment, that man was touching her everywhere, no matter how soundly Nan Yan was sleeping, it was impossible for her to not feel anything, in the end she was still awakened by his non-stop little movements.
After waking up, Nan Yan couldn't help but kick him, but instead of pushing him away, he moved closer and kissed her face. Nan Yan thought his body temperature was too high, and it was her estrus period early in the morning. The two of them quarreled for a long time before they finally stopped.
After breakfast, Boss Zhong had to deal with his daily work tasks. After all, being a boss is not that easy. But now he refused to go to the study room. He had to squeeze in with Nan Yan in such a large space. According to him, his daily work was already very boring. If he couldn't stay with the person he liked for a while, he would be even less interested in work.
Nan Yan just wanted to roll her eyes at him. Isn't it said that the male protagonist is a workaholic? Isn't work the most interesting thing for him?
But leaving all this aside, the quick-thinking Boss Zhong was obviously much more useful than the humanoid Husky in front. At least when she silently threw the wrong questions to him, Boss Zhong would just take a look at them and then give her the best solution in a few minutes.
Nan Yan suddenly felt relieved. She had an inexplicable feeling as if she had hired a top-notch tutor without spending a penny.
Thinking in this way, Nan Yan began to ignore this man's occasional acts of taking advantage of her, such as holding her hand or kissing her cheek. Sometimes, when she was in a good mood, Nan Yan would even go over and kiss him to express her gratitude.
This kind of interaction reminded Zhong Ling of his own high school campus life. He would look at his girlfriend sitting opposite him, looking down at her doing her homework, and sometimes he would think.
If they had met earlier, or if they had met on campus, would he have fallen in love with her earlier, and would the current situation be different?
But thinking about it, it seems pretty good now.
A smile flashed across Zhong Ling's eyes. He thought to himself that it would be fine for her to go directly to his company to work after finishing her exams. She was so careful and serious, and she should be able to do well in anything she did.
But you can tell her about this later.
Thinking of this, Zhong Ling smiled softly again, and when his girlfriend came over to kiss him, he pulled her back, pressed the back of her head, slowly deepened the kiss and then started to work.
Then Nan Yan realized that the protagonist, who was a workaholic, was indeed not fake. He worked hard for two hours without moving.
When Nan Yan went out to pour a cup of coffee and handed it over, Zhong Lingxia beside her took a sip of it consciously, and then said to her without looking up, "Xiao An, please help me get the latest document package of the southwest suburbs development plan. I want to reconfirm some data."
Nan Yan knew that this man mistook her for his assistant An, but she didn't care. She nodded and responded casually, "Okay, then wait a moment."
However, after hearing that the voice was obviously not Assistant An's, Zhong Ling paused for a moment, tapped the pen on the paper, leaving an ink spot, but soon came to his senses and the young man sitting opposite him put down his cup.
He raised his hand and directly grabbed Nan Yan's wrist, pinching her wrist bone, "Sorry, I forgot this is not the company. I just mistook you for Assistant An. Don't worry about it, I can get it myself, you take a rest."
Nan Yan pressed his shoulders, leaned over and kissed his cheek, and said in a somewhat amused voice, "What does this matter? You go ahead and do your work. I've been sitting for so long and just feel tired. I want to walk around. Is it the development plan for the southwest suburbs? I'll get it for you."
"Besides, you were not so restrained when you ordered me around before, Boss Zhong, have you forgotten that I still owe you a large sum of wages? You don't have to be so polite to me."
Nan Yan smiled when she said this.
Zhong Ling also found it quite interesting to hear her calling him "Boss Zhong". It seemed that she used to call him that as well, but before, it was just business as usual and she just treated him as a big boss who paid her wages. But now, there was a little more romance between lovers. He liked Yanyan who was rude to him like this.
I followed her words and said, "When I'm done, your boss, Mr. Zhong, will take you out for dinner, okay? How about Japanese food? I remember that you have a strong taste, how about Thai food?"
Nan Yan naturally agreed with a smile, said it was all right, turned around and went to the study.
Of course, she didn't go to the study room for fun, she had another purpose. Nan Yan didn't come to the study room very often, after all, this was where Zhong Ling usually worked, and many of the documents were relatively private and important, and there were also some business secrets.
Although the man didn't mind her coming in and rummaging around, Nan Yan couldn't just go through his briefcase for no reason. That would be too weird and not in line with his personality.
Besides, the study was the only place with surveillance cameras. Nan Yan couldn't come here openly to look for evidence no matter what. She felt that Zhong Ling was in a strange mood last night and thought that he must have found some evidence, so she wanted to try her luck, maybe she could find something.
However, in order to avoid Zhong Ling's suspicion after accidentally seeing the surveillance in the future, Nan Yan did not search the table at the beginning. Instead, she searched the commonly used bookshelf at the side twice. After making sure that there were no documents, she went to the desk.
However, after searching for a long time, she couldn't find anything that resembled evidence. Just when Nan Yan was about to give up, she happened to see something under the file box.
She pretended to take the plan from the file box, and when she was about to leave, she accidentally knocked over the entire file box. The folders that were originally in the box fell to the ground in an instant, and the ground was covered with scattered papers and bags.
The brown bag that was deliberately pressed under the file box also fell to the ground.
When Nan Yan squatted down to pack her things and sorted them out in piles, she turned around and inadvertently saw a few sheets of information scattered out of the brown file bag.
Nan Yan paused, as if she saw something strange. She raised her hand and pulled out those pieces of information. Printed on the information were the photos of the men who had tried to violate her in the private room that day.
There were a lot of other people's information in it, all of whom were accomplices that night. Nan Yan flipped through the pages one by one. When she turned to the last page, her expression froze for a moment. The information printed on that page was clearly Ruan Xiaoxiao's information. Her fingers trembled slightly and her lips pursed tightly, as if she couldn't believe it. She was afraid that she had made a mistake in the information, and she was also afraid that she had misread it. Then she spread out the information one by one on the floor and compared them again...
At this moment downstairs, seeing that more than ten minutes had passed, Zhong Ling felt something strange. He guessed that Yanyan might not have found where the documents were placed. He usually organized those things by himself, so it was normal that she couldn't find them.
Zhong Ling didn't think much about it. He put down his computer and stood up directly. He walked towards the study on the second floor.
…
"Yanyan, didn't you find it? I forgot to tell you that the document was in the file box on the far left of the desktop..."
Zhong Ling pushed open the door, and before he could finish his words, his voice suddenly stopped.
He lowered his head and his gaze fell on the person in the middle. The floor was covered with documents and documents. She was sitting in the middle seat with a piece of printed paper in her hand. Her knuckles were clenched so tightly that they turned slightly white and her face turned pale.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she finally raised her head, moving very slowly, and then looked over carefully, saying word by word, "Zhong Ling, you actually found out who was the mastermind behind that incident a long time ago, right?"
Her voice was exceptionally clear when she said this.
Nan Yan clenched the document tightly, and suddenly threw it towards him. The white paper was lifted up by the force, and soon fell down due to gravity.
The piece of paper that fell had Ruan Xiaoxiao's photo and some minor evidence records of what happened before and after the incident printed on it. They were also collected by him.
Zhong Ling's gaze fell on the piece of paper. At that moment, he clenched his fingers and his face turned pale.
"I……"
For a moment, Zhong Ling suddenly felt his throat tighten and dry, as if it was blocked by something. His lips opened, but no words came out.
Nan Yan did not give him a chance to explain, she just made the first move. Nan Yan pursed her lips, her lips were pale, and she looked at him with a look of disbelief and disappointment, "Because she was your ex-girlfriend whom you loved sincerely, so even if she did such a thing, you could still cover up and forgive her, right? Because you don't want to hurt her, so you just lied to me and said you couldn't find any clues, right? You told me last night that the clues were broken, but what do I have in my hand now?"
"Zhong Ling, do you think I'm easy to deceive?" Nan Yan's eyes turned red and her face became paler. "But you told me last night that you wouldn't lie to me! Is this how you treat me?"
Nan Yan's voice suddenly became a little out of control.
Zhong Ling finally reacted this time. He even walked forward in a panic, not caring about the documents anymore, and subconsciously wanted to reach out and hug her.
卻被南嫣反手就推開了，她的語氣是從未有過的冷淡，甚至比兩人初見時那次還要疏離，“別碰我！”
鐘嶺的視線随着她轉動，他的手指不可避免地輕顫了一下，因為過度緊張而顯得有些混亂，“不是你說的那樣，嫣嫣，先聽我解釋，我不是故意包庇她的，我也不是舍不得傷害她，只是我現在真的沒辦法。”
鐘嶺固執地按着她的手，始終不讓人抽開，“我已經讓人送她去國外了，以後都不會再讓她回來。嫣嫣，你相信我好嗎？我這樣做才是真正的保護你。”
南嫣的眼裏忽然有了一絲嘲諷，她從來沒有用這樣的眼神看過人，鐘嶺不知道她是不是不肯相信，他一時間都有些怔住，然後便聽到她說，“所以，你是在告訴我，傷害我的人，不僅什麽代價都沒有付出，她甚至還能躲在國外繼續逍遙法外是嗎？你覺得這樣的方式算是懲罰嗎？”
“鐘嶺，你還不如告訴我，她是為了規避風險跟懲罰，而特意躲到國外去避難了，這難道不是在保護她嗎？”
鐘嶺不知道南嫣會這麽想，或許早就猜到了她會誤會，所以才一直不敢将這件事情告訴她，在竭力控制自己心中不安的情緒，想讓自己自己冷靜下來。
然而，在南嫣誤會越來越深的情況下，鐘嶺發現自己根本冷靜不下來，也根本控制不住心底的那些恐慌。
他只覺得那顆心髒好像被什麽吊在那裏似的，胸口不斷地湧出一股焦躁不安的情緒。
“真的不是你想的那樣，嫣嫣。”
他捏緊了手，心裏無法自控地漫上了一股酸楚的感覺，這種不被理解跟信任的感覺，讓他覺得自己非常為難，可他真的不是在欺騙她，他伸手去找地上的那份資料，然後遞到她面前，竭力冷靜道：
“你聽我解釋好嗎？這份資料根本沒辦法作為證據去定她的罪的，這只是一次通話記錄，什麽都證明不了的。”
在他的眼睛裏，早就沒有了先前的那份冷靜，取而代之的是一抹焦躁，握着她的手指着文件裏的那串號碼給她看。
“還有，她使用的境外號碼已經徹底注銷了，裏面的東西更是全都沒有了，跟她聯系的那個中間人也找不到，即便是她自己當場承認了，沒有證據，一樣沒辦法定罪的。”
他的手指有些僵硬，動作顯露出幾分不自然的笨拙，很快他又松開文件，握着她的手貼在自己的胸口，“嫣嫣，就是因為這樣，所以我才要把她送到國外去，不是為了幫她避禍，也不是舍不得報複她，而是因為……”
鐘嶺說着，聲音忽然變得有些緩慢艱難，他知道在這件事情上他沒能給她一個完整的交待，她是從頭到尾最無辜的受害者，但想要的公道卻那麽艱難。
這讓鐘嶺覺得自己的喉嚨有些發堵，但還是沉悶地将這個現實說了出來。
”嫣嫣，不是我不想幫你，而是這就是事實，事實就是阮家人不會讓她去受罪。”
“如果他們稍微有點良知的話，他們或許會給她一點懲罰，讓她在國外過得艱難困苦一些，但如果真的有人對阮潇潇做了什麽事情，他們也絕對不會放過那個人的。”
說到最後，他聲音越來越輕了，像是在安撫，又像是在勸慰她，“嫣嫣，我知道你心底委屈難受，可我暫時真的沒辦法。”
南嫣當然知道這就是事實，上輩子不也是這樣嗎？她死了也無人問津，只是被當做一個新聞熱點随口提了一句而已。
但是事實，又不代表她一定要去理解，她一個受害者為什麽要去理解加害者的思維方式，為什麽要代入別人設置好的情境。
南嫣擡眸看向身旁的鐘嶺，沉默了片刻，才緩緩地說，“所以，你是在告訴我，因為對方有權有勢，所以即便是做了壞事，她也可以不付出任何代價全身而退是嗎？而我就得白白忍受這一次的無妄之災？”
那雙瑩潤的略帶些涼意的目光忽然含了些自嘲的意思，就這麽靜靜地望着他。
“鐘嶺，我以為以你的手段，一定可以将這件事情公之于衆的，難道這樣也不能讓她身上留下一個污點嗎？”
她看向他的目光忽然流露出一股陌生的情緒，像是第一次徹徹底底地看清他整個人似的，随後心底湧出的就是一股茫然，仿佛不知道該如何去面對他。
鐘嶺下意識地攥緊了她的手，他有些着急，“別這樣，別用這種眼神看着我好嗎？”
“嫣嫣，這件事情即便是被人公之于衆了，阮潇潇的名譽也不會有任何大的損傷，可能她舅舅的升遷之路會受到一些影響，但憑借這些人操控輿論的手段，過不了幾年就會恢複原狀，而我們則占不到任何優勢。”
“你聽我說好嗎……”
鐘嶺握緊她的手心，緊緊握着，他知道嫣嫣不是那種不講道理的人，他能明顯的感受到嫣嫣的情緒在逐漸穩定。
她只是不甘心，不甘心自己受到的傷害，還有自己一時的欺騙讓她覺得難過，讓她覺得這個地方，好像人人都在欺騙她。
鐘嶺盡量去跟她解釋，他盡量去安撫她的情緒，“所以不如先賣對方一個人情，逼他們将阮潇潇送到國外，不準她再回國，這是目前最好的解決問題的辦法。”
他說着說着便放緩了語氣。
“而且，嫣嫣，那天晚上，你并沒有受到真正的傷害，即便是法律層面上，她也算不上是真正的犯罪，懲罰依舊會很輕的。”
在說到最後那句，“你沒有受到真正的傷害”時，鐘嶺明顯感覺，原本情緒已經漸漸穩定下來的南嫣突然就變得激動起來了。
她的眼眶瞬間紅了，眼尾甚至暈染開了一圈水汽，她猛地将自己的手指從對方掌中抽出，擡眸看向鐘嶺的眼神中也含了一絲冷意跟譏諷，“鐘嶺，你是不是覺得，因為我沒有受到真正的傷害，所以這次的事情就無關緊要，對我來說就不痛不癢了是嗎？”
“可你是不是忘了？”南嫣的語氣忽然變得尖銳起來，帶了一絲不可控的激動情緒跟受傷，眼圈通紅地望着他，“那晚我不是被你侵犯了嗎？我們之間不是發生關系了嗎？”
“被你睡跟被一群人睡有什麽區別，不都是被睡嗎？不過是從一群人變成了一個人，難道這樣，我受到的刺激就不算了嗎？”
南嫣的眼淚也終于忍不住落下來。
“你就是用這樣的理由來說服自己，然後毫無愧疚地送你的前女友離開的嗎？就因為這樣，所以，你才會覺得她犯下的錯都是小錯，都是可以被原諒的是嗎？”
她用力甩開了對方的手，眼神中迸發出一絲怨恨，她的聲音也不像以往那樣輕柔，再沒有了從前那副安靜溫順的模樣。
說實話，區別還是有的，而且很大。起碼一整晚鐘嶺都在照顧她的感受，哄着她，取悅她，沒有一點傷到她的行為。
不過她就是故意這麽說的。
南嫣也知道自己這是在口不擇言了，但人在生氣的時候口不擇言是很正常的一件事，誰讓他說的話突然刺激到她了呢。
确切地說，那晚她是自願的，兩人之間也算不上什麽侵犯。但如果不是他的前女友弄出的這些事情，也不會發生後續的這些狀況，南嫣只不過是将事實揭露而已。
而聽到這話的鐘嶺身體頓時一僵。
他安靜地坐在她對面，渾身發冷，額前的黑發因為剛才的動作顯得有些散亂，當頭頂的光線落在他的鼻梁上時，在面頰上投下一小片陰影，讓他的臉色看起來有些僵。
他注意到嫣嫣眼底驟然迸發出的那一絲怨恨，而那絲怨恨也讓鐘嶺意識到，她可能并沒有那麽心甘情願地跟自己在一起。
從始至終都沒有。
認識到這個事實，鐘嶺的心中驟然湧出了一種要窒息似的異樣痛苦。
這樣近的距離，南嫣看到他的表情不可控地抖動扭曲了一下。
然後，她聽到他聲音低啞，有些艱難地說，“侵犯？你覺得那晚是侵犯？所以，在你眼裏，我跟那些人其實沒什麽區別是嗎？”
鐘嶺慢慢的說出那句話，他臉上的血色肉眼可見的逐漸褪去，變得慘白，“那你這段時間，願意跟我在一起，也都是假的嗎？”
南嫣抿緊了嘴唇，她無意識地捏緊了手指，微微泛白的指尖掐着指節，在瑩潤的肌膚上留下一個明顯的月牙形的紅印。
她沒有說話，但鐘嶺這時已經擡起頭來了，那雙漆黑的眼眸就這麽盯着她，臉上沒什麽多餘的情緒波動，但那雙眼裏洩出了一絲隐隐要失控的預兆。
鐘嶺的手指用力攥緊了，緊得指節發疼，他真的難以接受，在她的眼裏，他跟那群試圖傷害她的人沒什麽區別。
心髒好似被一根無形的絲線反複來回撕扯一般，隐隐有種痛感逐漸在心口蔓延，這一刻，鐘嶺心中驟然有了種凄涼跟絕望。
他覺得自己一直以來的努力跟歡喜全都成了虛假的，她好像從來沒有對他動過心。
他甚至不知道，在她眼裏，他居然是這樣一個人？他真的沒有想到她會這麽想他。
一瞬間，鐘嶺心裏都有了一絲絕望。
他的腦子裏一片混亂，仿佛有無數種碎片不斷刺激沖撞着大腦裏的血管，讓他的身體迸發出一種本能的痛苦。
鐘嶺捏緊手指，他不想去想那些令人痛苦的事情，可嫣嫣說的那話仿佛一根劇毒的刺一樣，狠狠紮進了他的心底，刺得他心口生疼，讓他險些控制不住自己。
……
沉默了好一會兒，南嫣閉了閉眼。
她也意識到了自己剛才情緒崩潰時說錯了話，臉色在不知不覺中變得有些蒼白。
等到她終于将方才的情緒平複下來，聲音也不像剛才那樣尖銳之後，才啞着聲音說道：
“鐘嶺，對于我來說，你是唯一一個能跟我站在同一戰線的人，我只是忽然間覺得，我們的世界不一樣，是我想的太簡單了。”
她擡眸對上他的眼神，神情從一開始的憤怒慢慢變得平靜了不少，“我只是想過簡單、平靜，沒有太多風波的正常生活。”
“可在你身邊，你的父母不喜歡我，你的前女友仇視我，還有你的那些朋友們也看不上我曾經做過的事情。”
“我什麽都沒有，只是一個很普通的人，我不知道你們那些上流社會中豪門之間的處事原則，也不知道你口中的那些所謂現實。”
“這件事的本質就是我被你的前女友傷害了，作為男朋友的你卻瞞着我送走了她。”
南嫣說到這裏忽然垂下了眼眸，長密的睫毛遮住了眼底受傷的神色，鐘嶺看着，只覺得心中忽然湧出一種無力的感覺，他想說些什麽去反駁，可什麽都說不出口。
即便他想否認這一切都有苦衷原因，但在嫣嫣眼裏，這就是事實，阮潇潇确實沒付出任何的代價，這就是不公平。
可他能怎麽做？
到底要怎麽做她才能滿意？
南嫣說着又輕蹙了下眉，忽然想到了什麽，語氣也變得有些淡了，她擡眸看着對面的鐘嶺，眼神忽然變得有些怪，“抱歉，我說這些可能有些自私了，因為你沒有任何必要為了我去得罪一整個阮家，這不值得是嗎？”
鐘嶺不知道她是在諷刺還是在自嘲，他只是覺得心中隐隐有些不安。
他不知道嫣嫣為什麽又變成這樣了，明明他們好不容易才親近起來的，為什麽要為了這樣的事情而争吵？
他想說不是這樣的，這些事情沒有想的那麽簡單，不是他想動手就能動手的，更何況，這件事情最直接的原因甚至是因為他。
南嫣大概也想到了這點，她想了想又說，“我決定不了任何事情，我跟你在一起，除了依附你之外，沒有任何人能保護我。你告訴我的那些事情全都是你想告訴我的，一旦你不想告訴我了，你就會像今天一樣的欺騙我，你說我們之間是平等的，可我仍感覺自己被你圈在了某個可掌控的範圍裏。”
“鐘嶺，你覺得這樣公平嗎？”
南嫣的聲音忽然變得有些飄忽不定，喉嚨裏的嗓音也略帶了些哽塞，“你騙我一次，就還會有下一次，每一次你都是有理由有苦衷的，那你讓我怎麽辦呢？”
說到最後她又閉上了眼，眼眶中含着的淚水也終于從側臉滑了下來，她只是哭了一小會兒，便将整個人的情緒克制住了。
然後她看向他，
“我是決定不了那些事情，但我可以決定讓自己不去融入你們所謂的那個上層圈子。”
說到最後，南嫣的情緒已經徹底平複下來了，她擡手輕輕擦了一把臉上的淚珠，眼睛裏也沒了一開始的嘲諷跟尖銳，只是臉龐上的淚痕隐隐透露出她臉上的情緒。
鐘嶺聽到她聲音輕飄飄的響起。
說出的話卻是那麽的傷人。
“所以，我們暫時先分開吧，各自先冷靜一段時間，也許我們之間并不合适。”
她緩緩地松開了一直緊握的手指，好像徹底放開了心底的固執，變得有些釋然。
她确實是決定不了別人的任何事情，被欺負了也無法讨回公道，既然這樣的話，她以後離他們遠一點不就行了嗎？
他是沒有錯，因為那确實是解決這次問題的最好方法，但她自己的選擇也沒有錯，遠離他的同時也遠離了他帶過來的那些風險。
“你休想！”
而聽到這句話的鐘嶺忽然間遍體生寒，面容一瞬扭曲發狠，他用力攥緊了南嫣的手腕，抓回來，死死握在手心裏：“別的都可以，唯獨這個不行，我不會放手的。”
他好不容易才經營出來的局面，憑什麽被她一句輕飄飄的話就全部否認掉了，鐘嶺眼眶甚至有些泛紅，他真的不明白，為什麽她可以這麽輕易地就放手。
聽到這話，南嫣的眼神也跟着慢慢變化了下，她擡眸看向對方，“為什麽不行？”
鐘嶺只覺得胸口的不甘快要溢出來了，“我就是不同意！你要跟我分開，你想去找誰？賀冕嗎？你以為他能幫你？”
“從一開始你期待的人就是賀冕對不對？明明我一直在你身邊，明明你只要一伸手就可以碰到我，但你最開始的選擇，永遠都是賀冕是不是？”
不管是那天晚上還是更早的時候，她選擇的對象永遠都是賀冕，明明他就在她身邊，觸手可及的地方，她也要給賀冕打電話。
鐘嶺的眼神晦澀，聲音裏仿佛含着某種怨恨，“他就那麽重要嗎？就那麽值得你喜歡嗎？可你是不是忘了？那天晚上，你是如何纏着我，纏着我跟你做了一遍又一遍，那雙腿是如何架在我身上，夾得那麽緊的樣子，片刻不舍得分離，還有你哭泣求饒的姿态，你全都忘了嗎？怎麽，事後就想反悔了嗎？”
“住口！鐘嶺，你在胡說八道什麽？”
南嫣手腕被捏得生疼，眼淚不受控制地落下，但這次完全是被他的态度刺激到了。
“我胡說？”鐘嶺冷笑一聲，眼角卻漸漸泛紅，“呵，別忘了，從一開始就是你求我的，你求得那麽可憐我才給你的！”
這人大概也是被她刺激到徹底失控了，這種不要臉的話也說得出口！
她眼圈也有些微紅，因為疼痛而咬緊了唇，又因為聽到那番話而氣憤，故意去激怒他，“是又怎麽樣？我就是反悔了，難道你沒有發現嗎？我們之間從頭到尾就不合适。”
她用力掙紮了下，卻沒有掙開，最後只能看着他說，“一個前女友就已經讓你招架不住了，如果以後，對我做這種事情的人是你的父母呢？如果是你的家人要傷害我呢？你又要怎麽選？一如既往的欺騙我嗎？”
鐘嶺聽到這話，仿佛再也控制不住了，原本一直壓抑在胸腔內的怒火、不甘、委屈還有各種混亂的情緒一齊爆發。
“可我不是已經在努力了嗎？”
鐘嶺緊緊抓着她的手，陡然扣住了她的肩膀，眼角發紅，猛然朝她喊了一聲：
“我分明已經很努力了，我努力的在周旋，努力的讓你遠離一切煩惱事物的中心，我自信自己有能力可以保護好你！”
鐘嶺的聲音越來越重，含着惱怒與怨恨，他眼底散發出的那種火光，仿佛能将人燃燒殆盡。
“你甚至什麽都不用做，剩下的一切全都我來處理，我會處理好所有的一切事情！我可以抵擋住長輩的責罵反對，我不需要你做任何事情，只要你願意站在原地等着我，只要我一轉身就能碰到你。”
“可是為什麽？為什麽我做的這些努力在你看來仿佛毫無用處，被你一句輕飄飄的不合适就徹底否認幹淨，你告訴我！你說，你到底要我怎麽做才能滿意！”
鐘嶺的胸口劇烈起伏着，呼吸急促，他此刻的眼裏滿是不甘跟憤怒，還有那麽一絲絲的怨恨，“為什麽你能把分手這件事情說的這麽随意？溫南嫣，你告訴我，你是不是從頭到尾都沒有喜歡過我？因為不在意，所以才會這麽随意！如果不是那天晚上發生的事情，你是不是永遠不會跟我在一起？”
鐘嶺只覺得心裏有一團火在燃燒，她根本不知道，那天早上，當她願意放下過往跟他在一起生活的時候。那一瞬，鐘嶺是真的感受狂喜，從未有過的歡喜。
可是就在剛剛，聽到了她脫口而出的話，原來在她眼裏，他跟那群試圖侵犯她的男人沒什麽區別，他整個人就像是掉進了一座冰窟裏，渾身冷得僵硬發顫。
She didn't like him at all, so she said she wanted to break up so bluntly. As a result, she could no longer hold back her accumulated anger, and she was completely on the verge of losing control.
Nan Yan was also trembling with excitement at his out-of-control emotions. She bit her lips until they were almost engorged with blood, and then stared at him, "Yes, you are right, I just don't like you. I have never cared about you from the beginning to the end, so I want to break up with you. Is this explanation enough?"
