Su Yue shook her head . “It’s fine . I’m not tired . ”

Then she tore her gaze away from him and looked at her .
The past few days, they had been so worried about Jiao Chen and they weren’t in the mood to do anything else, so they didn’t interact at all .
This was the first time both of them were standing there with no one else around .
Su Yue felt extremely guilty as she looked at her .
Jiao Chen got hurt because of her .
“Jiao Chen will be heartbroken if he sees you like this,” Jiao Chen’s mother said, rubbing her eyes . “He had a soft spot for you . ”
“Auntie…” Su Yue’s eyes turned red .

She didn’t know what to say . Apologize? Or say words of comfort?
It seemed like she didn’t have the right to .
All this was her fault . She was the one who got close to him because of her own selfish motives .
She only cared about herself and neglected his feelings .
Nothing should happen to Jiao Chen, or else… how was she going to live? How was she going to live in peace?
“I remember in November last year . Jiao Chen was different when he came back . ” Jiao Chen’s mother grabbed Su Yue’s hand and pulled her over to the chairs for a seat .
Then she continued, “He didn’t have a typical childhood . He has been extremely strict with himself at a young age . He started aiming for scholarships when he started middle school and working part-time when he was in his third year of high school . By the time he entered university, he could fully support himself and often give the orphanage some allowance . ”

She was full of heartache and self-reproach as she recalled his growing-up years .
“When his older sister called home and told us that he was dating, I didn’t believe it . ”
“I only did when she found your photo on the school forum and sent it to me . ”
She was smiling and her words insinuated that she liked Su Yue, or at least she had nothing bad to say about her .
“He smiled more during that period, and he often got me to bring braised pork to school . I guess it was for you . ”
Su Yue bowed her head in confirmation .
It was true . Jiao Chen brought lots of food for her: vegetables, braised pork, phoenix-tailed prawns and chicken wings .
And she had asked him which restaurant he had bought them from .
Jiao Chen’s mother talked about their dating moments with such gentleness, could it be… because she didn’t know about their break-up?
She remained silent, quietly listening to what Jiao Chen’s mother had to say about him .
Jiao Chen’s background was shockingly similar to hers .
The only difference was that he had his mother alongside him, loving him the whole time .
She continued . “After that incident, he became very careful in anything he did . ”
That incident? Su Yue looked at her in confusion and curiosity .
“When he was in fifth grade in elementary school, they called him a b*stard, and they called his mother…” She paused, smiling in self-ridicule . “They called me a mistress . He beat the group of kids up and they got hospitalized . We didn’t have any backers so they expelled him . I ended up not eating and ignoring him for two days . From that day onward, he never picked a fight again . ”
She took a deep breath and said, “Actually, I didn’t handle it properly back then . After it happened, I regretted every time I saw him holding everything in despite being ridiculed by all the other kids . ”
“I see,” Su Yue mumbled, bowing her head .
‘Unless someone is willing to bear the consequences on your behalf forever…’
She suddenly recalled Jiao Chen’s ridiculous words and her heart clenched .
