Just when Hai Xiaotang thought he was about to do something, she suddenly heard him ask.
âSo back then, did you ever think of looking for me?â
âWhat?â Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, only then realizing what he was saying.
She didnât understand why he had brought this up again.
Dongfang Yu himself didnât know why he asked, but he had always been eager to know the answer.
âDid you?!â he pressed, his gaze darkened, seemingly unstoppable until he got what he wanted.
ââ¦â Hai Xiaotangâs eyes flickered.
Suddenly, she didnât know how to respond.
What should she say? To tell him that in actuality, she did want to go. But her grandfather had drugged her, so she was taken away?
No, even though initially she wanted to go, after being forcibly removed from C City, she completely gave up that idea.
She had also determined to have no more involvement with him.
Otherwise, during that half year, she wouldnât have avoided contacting him a single time. Not even a single phone call to explain.
So initially, she didnât want to goâ¦
âDid you or did you not?â Dongfang Yu asked again, his voice low and suppressing the emotions hidden in his eyes.
Also, a glimmer of hopeâ¦
Hai Xiaotang couldnât lie to him, she shook her head: âNoâ¦â
ââ¦â Dongfang Yuâs pupils contracted, his entire body feeling like a bucket of ice-cold water was poured over it!
He knew it, he should have known it long ago. She just didnât want to go.
He should have realized long ago that she had completely given up on him, so how could she care just because he did.
It was him who was fooling himself all along, thinking that she might, to some extent, still care.
Thinking he still had a chanceâ¦
But actually, he had no hope left long ago!
Dongfang Yu couldnât name the feeling in his heart at this moment, it was as if the last shreds of his dreams were shattered.
He isnât even eligible to dream anymore.
âHai Xiaotang, so you really donât love anymore, right?â Dongfang Yu asked with difficulty.
Hai Xiaotangâs eyelashes quivered, wanting to explain something, but not knowing how to explain.
Dongfang Yuâs look was pitch dark, like a black hole, âI know I was the one who broke your heart first, you donât love anymore and I deserve it! And I know, no matter how much I love you, it has nothing to do with you. You donât have to respond to me, but I canât help being selfish! I want your response!â
ââ¦â Hai Xiaotang stood still, blankly staring at him.
Dongfang Yu laughed at himself sarcastically, âEven without feeling your response, I canât help feeling resentful! Iâve given so much affection, why donât you respond? So, Hai Xiaotang, are you getting back at me-â
The last sentence, Dongfang Yu almost shouted out.
Hai Xiaotangâs gaze trembled. She opened her mouth, âDongfang Yu, actuallyâ¦â
âYou donât need to say!â Dongfang Yu coldly interrupted her, expressionless, âYou donât need to say anything, I will forget you, truly completely forget you! Hai Xiaotang, I wonât love you anymore!â
After he spoke, Dongfang Yu walked away without turning back!
Hai Xiaotang stood still, dumbfounded.
She didnât know why, but she felt unexpectedly flustered.
Her mind was also blankâ¦
Dongfang Yu actually said, he would never love her.
He would never love her again?
No!
âDongfang Yu!â Hai Xiaotang abruptly turned around, wanting to stop him, but the living room was empty.
He had long since disappeared.
A place in Hai Xiaotangâs heart also seemed to be emptied.
Her heart inexplicably clenched with discomfortâ¦
How did it come to this? Could it be that she had really fallen for him again?
How could this be, how could this be!
