Su Yue squatted and wound her arms around her legs . She buried her face and began to sob pitifully .
Ming Ansheng became stiff when he heard Su Yue’s sobs .
He stopped himself from turning around and marched ahead .
Su Yue sensed that Ming Ansheng was getting further away . She gazed at his back as more tears gushed down .
She used her sleeves to wipe her tears—over and over again .
Su Yue was anxious that she and Ming Ansheng would snap during the time they were together . Despite being cautious, someone still snapped a photo of Ming Ansheng holding her hand .
Su Yue was so frustrated when she saw the photo circulating online . How she wished she could rip that culprit to pieces .
She stayed in her room the entire day and refused to step out .
She didn’t dare to face Wen Xuxu or anyone else . She had disappointed everyone .
Especially Jiao Chen .
This was the first time she felt such guilt towards Jiao Chen . What have she done?
This wasn’t the first time it happened, and he didn’t ask her about it . He even concealed the truth and spun a lie .
Su Yue stared at her phone and was lost in hesitation for the entire day . She finally dialed Jiao Chen’s number .
The call went through, and Jiao Chen answered .
“Jiaojiao,” Su Yue called him nervously and continued, “Yesterday when I ate at a restaurant, they gave me two cups . And it had our photo on it . ”
She paused and began to stammer, “But…”
“Su Yue, let’s break up . ”
Jiao Chen suddenly interjected Su Yue’s words .
Su Yue felt as though someone had clenched her heart and squeezed it tightly . She spluttered, trying to explain, “Jiaojiao… I…”
Jiao Chen didn’t let her continue and interrupted . “I’m too busy to spend time with you . ”
Su Yue’s eyes glistened as she clenched the phone tightly . She didn’t want to sound as though she was crying . “You must be furious, right?”
He must be . She had hurt Jiaojiao indeed .
Su Yue hated herself .
Jiao Chen’s voice sounded nonchalant . “I’m not angry because I know that you don’t like me . Actually, I… don’t really like you too,” said Jiao Chen .
He paused for a second in the middle of his sentence . It was obvious that he had struggled and mustered enough courage to say those words .
He pressed on lightly, to hide his agony . “I only needed a girlfriend to pass the time . You… don’t have to take it to heart . ”
Su Yue still didn’t entirely believe him despite his efforts to conceal his true feelings . She may be naïve but she wasn’t a child any longer . She knew how Jiao Chen felt towards her, especially in the past few days .
And because of this reason, she felt worse and even more guilty .
“Jiaojiao…”
Su Yue couldn’t conceal her emotions any longer and her voice shuddered .
Jiao Chen consoled her softly, “Stop crying, I’m really not angry . I do feel guilty as well, Su Yue . ”
Su Yue sniffed and said, “It’s my fault . ”
Her voice was choked, and she couldn’t continue any longer . She hung up .
She pulled the blanket over her head and bawled loudly .
‘Why did this happen? Why did things end up like this?’
She felt so sorry for Jiaojiao . He brought food for her to her dormitory every day and exercised with her .
He brought her back to his dormitory when she had nowhere else to go .
He appeared in the middle of the night and said that he looked for her because he missed her .
