Sheng Yanxiao’s gaze grew even colder, telling him before leaving? That wasn’t a discussion; it was a notification. As her boyfriend, he should have been the first to know her plans, but in the end, he was the last to find out.

Smart as Sheng Yanxiao was, he understood it all. His tone also turned colder: "Weiwei, by then, what you wanted to tell me was not about becoming an exchange student, but about breaking up, right?"

Su Weiyi froze all over. Even though she didn’t want to admit it, she knew she was powerless to refute it. When she made this decision, the thought had already crossed her mind.

Sheng Yanxiao took a step back, looking at Su Weiyi with a hint of loneliness and self-mockery in his eyes.

"Weiwei, you ultimately don’t want me."

Sheng Yanxiao’s voice was very light. Su Weiyi became even more rigid. She immediately looked up, instinctively wanting to refute, yet froze abruptly when she met his eyes, cold and lonely, mocking himself.

Sheng Yanxiao’s mouth curled into a smile, an extremely cold and faint smile. That gaze seemed to see through all of Su Weiyi’s thoughts, as if she was a blank sheet of paper in front of him.

Su Weiyi couldn’t say anything, helplessly watched as Sheng Yanxiao turned, helplessly watched as he walked towards the hallway, helplessly watched as he opened the door.

Just before the door closed, Sheng Yanxiao’s voice, almost devoid of warmth, resounded: "Hesitation is not a reason; you simply don’t love me enough."

Su Weiyi stood completely frozen, not knowing how much time had passed when she finally snapped back to reality. No... it’s not like that.

Disregarding the mask on her face, Su Weiyi rushed out, chased downstairs, but in the boundless night, where was that clear, aloof figure?

Su Weiyi slowly squatted on the ground, head bowed deeply, the mask on her face fell to the ground, and as the night wind blew, a chill spread from her cheeks throughout her body.

It’s not like that. How could she not love him? He was the boy she loved the most. Precisely because she loved him too much, she didn’t know what to do. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Lover, benefactor, family!

Three kinds of love, three emotions that shouldn’t conflict, but now all entangled together, making it impossible to sort out.

To persist in being with Sheng Yanxiao, to be with him no matter what, regardless of others’ opinions, just thinking about the expressions that might appear on her parents’ faces was enough to stab her heart like a sharp sword.

To completely give up on Sheng Yanxiao, to say to him, "We can’t be together" or "I don’t love you anymore"? No, she couldn’t say it. Such words, she couldn’t even deceive herself with, how could she deceive others?

So, she could only escape. Until she figured out what to do, she could only escape, though this was hardly a solution.

Su Weiyi’s eyes gradually became moist. Sheng Yanxiao understood she had concerns, but did he really understand all her concerns?

His parents, to him, were parents.

But her parents, to her, were more than just parents.

Su Weiyi didn’t know how she got back to the apartment, hugging her knees on the sofa, her eyes ached, yet she couldn’t shed a single tear. Her chest felt heavy, as if dark clouds loomed, as if a tsunami raged.

She had hurt her boy’s heart, she knew it. Her boy would no longer want her.

Su Weiyi had wanted, before leaving, to spend a nice, happy six months with him, to enrich their shared memories as much as possible. Now thinking back, she was too greedy, far too greedy.
