After he forced himself on her in a state of drunkenness, she had started to avoid him. Later, when he stumbled upon the secret, he had stopped looking for her. They seemed to have parted right then and there.
At the time, he also thought that was the worst ending that could ever be between the both of them. However, he realized there was worse ending.
At least, he was still slightly connected to her in game.
She had stopped logging in for that period of time, but he had logged in almost daily and spent most of his time staring at her greyed-out profile picture. He would go boss hunting like usual, but when the equipment rewards burst from the defeated boss, there was no longer a pretty female avatar circling around his character like a hawk. Whenever he opened a rare chest, gone was the girl who would look over his shoulder and grab the stuff that she wanted for herself.
She had ordered him to keep quiet about that night, and he did.
However, people had found out somehow. When they were preparing for the grade exam, the whole school had found out about it, and it had been the hot topic of the month. She had returned home, furious, to have it out with him.
She refused to believe that it was not him who had leaked the information. Her fury compelled her to say many ugly things to his face. She berated him for his lack of honesty, shamelessness, and despicability. How could he broadcast to the school that he had slept with her?
She even said that the greatest regret of her life was meeting him. That day was the worst day of her life, but it was not that good for him either.
This was the first time he had seen her after stumbling upon the secret. The hatred and agitation he had been suppressing choked his chest. He was not angry at her per se, he was angry at the destiny and fate. However, he lost it when he heard her say, "The biggest regret of my life is meeting you."
"That's such a coincidence, Song Qingchun. The biggest regret of my life is meeting you as well!"
She had a fiery personality, so when she heard that from him, she exploded. Her whole body was trembling with fury. With a finger pointing at his nose, she ordered, "Get out, Su Zhinian, get out of my house. Get as far as possible from my house. I curse the day that I ever met you!"
Her temper was still high, so after two deep breaths, she yelled at the top of her lungs, "Su Zhinian, you are a completely horrible man; I hate you! I hate you the most! Get out, get out, get out!"
Probably to put weight behind her words, she logged into the game before his eyes and divorced and blacklisted him in game.
At that moment, he saw she was on the brink of a mental breakdown.
She suddenly became very quiet. Su Zhinian waited until she crumbled to the floor and started to weep. Then he walked to the table beside his bed, picked up his wallet, pulled out an empty cheque, wrote down a number, and tossed it at her, adding, "Consider this a thanks for the days I've stayed at your house."
Then, he started to pack. He did not utter a word throughout the process while she kept on crying. He did not even say a farewell before he picked up his luggage and left her house.
