Time seemed to stop and neither of them spoke .

An Xiaxia took a few deep breaths and repeated, “I’m leaving you . ”
The grip around her waist tightened suddenly, so tight that she almost cried out in pain .
It was painful, but the pain was nothing compared to how she felt inside .
Sheng Yize sounded vexed . “An Xiaxia, can you not say that all the time? It’s not funny at all!”
“I mean it . ” An Xiaxia tried her best to make her tone casual . “Look, we’re not right for each other . I’m sure we won’t be happy even if we stay together for now . I’m just a common girl . I want to graduate from high school, get into a college, and marry some common guy . I’m always on tenterhooks when I’m with you and I feel like I’m on a rollercoaster all the time . Nothing in our future is for certain . Life is just too short for me to bet on it . ”
She had thought that lies were the most difficult things to tell . However, An Xiaxia realized now that if she really put her mind to it, telling a lie could be such an easy thing to do .
The two stared at each other in utter silence .

The ferris wheel stopped .
An Xiaxia pried his grip loose and jumped out first .
She only took a few steps before she walked back . She then removed the ring and handed it back to him .
She had kept her gaze away from Sheng Yize’s face this whole time, but she had to look at him now .
The teenager’s handsome face was frighteningly gloomy and he felt as cold as ice from the North Pole . Even the temperature around him seemed to have dropped .
He smiled . It was both mesmerizing and scornful .
He took the ring and enunciated each word . “I’m going to ask you again . Are you really breaking up with me?”

An Xiaxia nodded, fighting back her tears .
Sheng Yize’s hands wouldn’t stop shaking and even his voice had gone hoarse . He sniffled, almost in tears . “Stop making jokes like that . It frightens me… Just tell me what you don’t like about me . I can change them! An Xiaxia! Don’t say such things…”
Don’t leave me .
An Xiaxia couldn’t listen anymore . She turned around and walked away with tears streaking her cheeks .
The cold wind blew against her wet cheeks like knives cutting into her flesh . An Xiaxia almost felt like she was crying blood . She walked away without thinking and stubbornly wouldn’t look back .
Sheng Yize stood dazed on the spot and yelled, “Stop right there!”
An Xiaxia never stopped, neither did she turn to look back .

He gritted his teeth . “If you don’t want it, I don’t want it either!”
He threw the ring away with all his strength .
An Xiaxia cried harder . She bit the back of her hand to stop herself from making any sound .
She only began to cry loudly after she walked out of the park .
Her phone began to ring in her pocket again .
She could barely hold her phone with her shaking hands . It took her forever to pick it up .
“Good . Your father and brother are safe for now . Remember, you only have one shot . If you get back with Sheng Yize or tell him about this, nothing will happen to you, but your family will be killed at once!” The person chuckled insidiously .
An Xiaxia had no idea when the person hung up . She wiped her tears with her sleeves, but they just kept coming until the sleeves of her cotton-padded coat were soaked .
She hailed a taxi and hurried back home .
An Yibei’s car arrived at the same time .
He was anxious when he found An Xiaxia crying . Hurrying out of the car, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
An Xiaxia looked at him with red eyes and forced a smile . “Brother… Let’s live somewhere else . ”
