I saw his face harden and his eyes freeze over.

“Why?”

“… Dirty… dirty…”

I crossed my arms, not wanting him to touch me. I did not want to dirty his hands.

I felt that I was dirty. From head to toe, there was a stain that couldn’t be washed clean. In my heart, Dongyu was someone that couldn’t be sullied. I didn’t want to dirty his hands.

However, he seemed to have misunderstood my meaning. When he heard this word coming out of my mouth, he slowly retracted his hand.

I saw the light in his eyes dimming, devoiding itself of luster, and even… a hint of indescribable disappointment.

He seemed to be asking, “How did you become like this?”

I couldn’t stand the look in his eyes. I lowered my head and crouched helplessly.

I wasn’t sure how long he stood there for, looking at me, studying me.

I only saw that he suddenly turned around and left. Despite Han Xiao’s repeated urgings, he walked away without looking back.

Han Xiao ran out, after him. After a long time, she returned – I saw both resentment and helplessness in her expression.

“Xiachun, what’s the matter with you?! You have not said a word, not a word. What happened that night?!”

I didn’t say anything, all I knew was that Dongyu was gone. But I thought, just go. The farther you go, the better. Don’t… look back again.

I didn’t need his care anymore.

That night, I still did not have dinner. Han Xiao could not persuade me either. My indifference almost caused her to break down!

As she stood there at a loss, her mother shouted from outside, “Xiao Xiao, someone’s looking for you!”

Han Xiao left the room. A few minutes later, the door was pushed open again. However, I noticed that the footsteps sounded different.

When I finally looked up, I saw Su Qi walking into the room, his face ashen. When he saw me, he was stunned for a long time before he walked up to me and squatted down.

He reached for me.

Surprisingly, I didn’t push him away like I had pushed Dongyu away.

All I could recall was that my mind went blank when he tried to hold me. I couldn’t think of anything. I didn’t dare think of anything.

But later, I realized that back then, perhaps I just really needed a warm embrace.

Su Qi couldn’t give me the warmth I wanted.

But I dared not hope for the warmth that Dongyu could give me.

Besides Su Qi, I didn’t know who else could give me such warmth.

When he wrapped his arms around me, tears simply flowed from my eyes. They surged and flowed as though from a broken dam. I couldn’t hold them back anymore.

Maybe it was my tears, my suppressed sobs that tore at his heart.

He hugged me tightly and choked, “It’s my fault. Don’t cry!”

I cried harder upon hearing his words.

“Why did you leave me alone yesterday?” I demanded of him.

That question came almost impulsively.

His entire body stiffened, as if all the blood in his body had frozen!

These words stabbed at his heart like a knife.

He rubbed my shoulder guiltily, his voice shaking. “It’s my fault… I shouldn’t have left you alone yesterday!”

I questioned him over and over again in despair. “Even you left me alone, how could you?”

…

“Why?”

…

“Why did you leave me behind?”

…

“Su Qi… I have never toyed with you. I never did.”

…

He had no idea what had happened that night.. He only understood that I was asking him why he had left me there alone.
