When Bai Mu Ye recovers from shock, he stands up immediately, ready to leave .
Ah Zhao is stunned by his reaction and stops him by the door . “What are you doing?”
He looks at her coldly: “Miss Lu, you enjoy toying with people like they are monkeys . But you at least need to see if the monkey is willing to play along . ”
Filled with bitterness, he finds his past few days of joy a joke .
She likes women?
Why has she come to him while she likes women?
Ah Zhao doesn't expect such a strong reaction from him .
Certainly, she won't let him go . She even spreads her arms as an obstacle . “What toying with people like they are monkeys? Bai Mu Ye, you don't believe that I like you no matter how, do you?”
Hearing that from her at this point, Bai Mu Ye feels so chilly as if someone has dug a hole in his heart .
“You are into women . Just because you were hurt by one, now you want to try if you like men?”
He sounds both bitter and mean which he doesn't even expect from himself: “Miss Lu, there are loads of men in your company that are willing to play your games . Why do you have to give me this crap?”
Now that Ah Zhao seems stunned by what he just said, with her lips slightly parted at a loss, Bai Mu Ye thinks he has it right .
That doesn't make him feel better though . Instead, a total exhaustion and distress rise in him . He simply wants to leave this place as quick as possible, leave this girl who has made a fool of him .
However, before he can move, he stops himself because he sees clearly that a string of crystal-like tears drip down from her eyes .
Ah Zhao doesn't make any sound as she cries . Nor does her expression change much . But tears keep falling as if she can't stop them .
Whoever sees her in this state can tell she feels really bad .
She does .
She simply wants to tell him about Bai Qing honestly . However, his reaction is so strong that she never expects it . Neither does she expect him to doubt her sincerity .
On one hand, she is upset . On the other hand, she doesn't know what to do .
She has said all there is to be said, with all sincerity .
She doesn't know how to win his trust back so she can only stand there crying with a sorrowful heart .
Bai Mu Ye stands still, watching her at a loss . Suddenly, he bends down and brushes a hand across her face, catching her tears .
“Are you crying because of me?”
Both her eyes and nose are red . She sniffs as she looks at him silently .
Suddenly, she falls in his arms because of a strong pull .
Bai Mu Ye has exerted a good amount of effort to lock her up in his arms .
He wishes that he is stronger so that he can melt her completely into his own bone and flesh .
In that way, she will always be with him without thinking about anyone else .
“Don't cry . ” Ah Zhao hears his muffled voice .
“You bullied me,” He says between his teeth . “Why act like you are sad?”
Ah Zhao rubs her head against his chest, leaving tears on his shirt .
She sniffs . “I never bullied you . You are the one that don't believe me!”
Bai Mu Ye closes his eyes and tries to keep his voice steady: “Should I believe that it is my charm that made you who were into women like men again?”
She answers in a small voice: “I never liked women . I’m into men . ”
Bai Mu Ye: “ . . . ”
“She was just an exception,” She blurts out involuntarily .
However, the moment she finishes speaking, she notices that something isn't right .
Crap!
As expected, Bai Mu Ye flares up again . “You don't like girls but you think she's the one?”
[The male lead: I’m so mad that nothing can calm me down!]
