Chapter 1271: Chapter 1269: Love Under the 1268 Love Tree

The boy continued to console the girl, “Dear, could we not argue here? There are so many people around, and they’re all laughing at us. Can we go somewhere else to talk?”

The girl didn’t want to change locations; she felt that whatever happened here should be resolved right here. Thus, she said, “No, if you don’t take down that sign today, there’s no need for us to see each other again. If you can’t even handle this small matter, what use are you to me?”

The spectating crowd made the boy somewhat embarrassed, and he whispered, “Dear, it’s all my fault, will you forgive me? I really can’t take down that sign, let’s choose another one to write on.”

Although the place where they hung the sign wasn’t very high, it was still over two meters, and there were guardrails around, making it impossible for the boy to retrieve the sign.

But the girl was fixated on that sign and emphasized, “We only have this one love, if you can’t retrieve the sign, then that’s the end of our love.”

The boy tried to console her for a while, but the girl still wouldn’t budge. She made a scene under the tree, causing dissatisfaction among the bystanders.

A passing tourist tried to mediate, “Young lady, what can’t be solved by speaking calmly? It’s just a sign, there’s no need to argue. Two people who really love each other don’t need to hang a sign to prove their love.”

The girl was unappreciative, she glared at the other person and said in an unfriendly tone, “I’m talking to my boyfriend, it’s none of your business, don’t butt in!”

Her boyfriend immediately apologized to the tourist, “I’m sorry, my girlfriend has a bad temper, please don’t take it to heart.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The girl, gripping the boy’s ear, said angrily, “It’s her who’s being nosy, why are you apologizing to her?”

The boy frowned and then said very seriously, “Could you please stop making a scene?”

The girl erupted, “You dare to speak to me like that? Do you really want to break up or what?”

The boy got angry as well, “Let’s break up then, you’re always talking about breaking up, isn’t it annoying? Since you want to break up, let’s do it!” With that, the boy left without looking back.

The girl was stunned. Then she squatted down on the ground and started crying, cursing the boy for being heartless, saying she had fought with her family because of him, and now he was abandoning her—it was just too cruel.

Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu were standing by, watching. When the love tragedy ended, they exchanged glances and then both burst into laughter.

Tan Rou chuckled, “Liang Lu said this tree is magical, and it truly is. That couple’s sign wasn’t hung high and they ended up fighting and breaking up immediately. Maybe if they had hung it higher, they wouldn’t have broken up.”

Zhuang Liu smiled too, playing along, he said, “I kind of regret hanging the sign there, should have used a drone to hang it.”

Tan Rou replied, “Would a sign hung up by a drone be effective? Our love can’t rely on external forces, so you’d better just hang the sign yourself securely!”

Zhuang Liu was only speaking hypothetically and wouldn’t actually do that. However, the young couple’s incident raised a question in his mind, “Tan Rou, do you think that boy will come back for the girl?”

Tan Rou thought seriously for a moment, “I think he won’t.”

Zhuang Liu, however, said, “From my perspective, I think he’ll come back. Anyway, we have nothing better to do, let’s wait here for a bit.”

Tan Rou raised an eyebrow, “Are you trying to bet with me again?”

Zhuang Liu laughed, “I don’t want to bet, I just want to wait here a little longer.”

Tan Rou agreed, “Okay, then let’s wait here a little longer.”

The girl stood there crying for a long time. After she cried herself out, she stood up, but felt dizzy from squatting for so long. A kind stranger helped her, she thought it was her boyfriend returning, and she was happy for a moment.

However, when she saw that it was just a middle-aged auntie, the smile disappeared from her face. She thanked her, saying, “Thank you,” and then she left the tree of love.

“What a pity, he didn’t come back,” Tan Rou said with a hint of regret, “You guessed wrong.”

Zhuang Liu said, “I wouldn’t do that. No matter what happens, I would never leave you alone.”
