Chapter Fifty True Heart

  I was eager to leave this place as soon as possible, my feet were swift, but Yu Wu remained calm and composed. So I basically dragged him along like a strong ox pulling a broken cart. Da Wen Li was on the verge of carrying him away in her arms, while thinking about what to do next - how should she deal with Yu Wu? Drinking is better than fighting, but if she gets drunk again and he carries her back home, her parents will definitely be furious.

  Before he had taken a few steps, a tall black shadow suddenly blocked his way, bringing up a wave of hot air. Under the white fluorescent streetlights, Ji Dong's face was twisted with anger, his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his face bulged out, his fists clenched tightly, with an attitude that he would not give up until he reached his goal.

  "What are you doing?" I quickly stood out and blocked the middle, stretched out my hand to resist Ji Dong's chest, with my elbow supporting Su Yu behind me, pulling open their distance. The strong electric current between them was enough to kill everyone present in seconds.

  A group of younger brothers who had originally let their guard down stood up straight again, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath in an instant.

  Yu Guang glanced at Ruo Xi, she had already fallen to the ground, suffered a huge blow, and hadn't reacted for half a day. She remained still in the same posture with her hands supporting the ground. The earring man walked over and pulled her up, but she just stared blankly ahead, still not moving, nor did he come forward to comfort her again.

  "Yu Ge, why are you doing this? No matter what today, you must give me an answer!" Ji Dong frowned tightly, his tone unpleasant.

  "What are you talking about? Let's not talk about it today, we can discuss it another day!" Now is really not a good time for conversation, I use both hands to support him, afraid that he will swing his arm again in the next second.

  I've already let you off the hook, now you're itching for a fight and coming to look for trouble again? Are you tired of living?

  But looking at him with such a desperate look, things seem not to be that simple. If it's just because he feels guilty towards me, it's a bit too much? Besides, I've repeatedly told him not to worry about me, and now I can take care of myself! Zuo Yu isn't really trying to harm me, on the contrary, he would protect me. I didn't feel anything wrong at all, and I'm already completely willing to be by his side.

  "Are you questioning me? Hmph! Are you worthy of that?" Yu's hands were in his pockets, head held high, saying disdainfully, "You worry about others less, it's better to worry more about yourself."

  "Why?! Why are you treating Mimi like this?! You have something to say, come at me! How can you treat her like that?! She's just an innocent person, take your anger out on me instead! Come on! Take it all out on me! Hit me here! Keep hitting until you're satisfied! Just let her go! I don't care what you do to me!" Ji Dong bellowed loudly, advancing forward with agitation, his chest heaving heavily, exuding an intimidating aura that made him seem more like someone about to throw punches rather than receive them.

  His face was expressionless, his eyebrows furrowed as he gazed at him coldly: "She's my woman, when did it become your turn to teach me what to do?" A large hand wrapped around me from behind, my back pressed against his chest, feeling his heartbeat steady and calm, in contrast, my heart was about to jump out of my mouth.

  "Cough, cough... Winter melon! I'm fine, it doesn't matter how Ji Yu treats me, you don't have to worry about me anymore!" I was sandwiched between two tall boys, the pressure was unprecedentedly huge. Ji Yu's arm was just right on my neck, the force was a bit heavy, I pried his arm with both hands to avoid suffocating to death.

  Ji Dong suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled it hard, trying to take it away from me. The force on my neck instantly shifted to my shoulder, which also wrapped tightly around me. At the same time, Ji Yu's other hand firmly grasped Ji Dong's large hand that was holding mine.

  "Let go!"

  “……”

  "Both of you stop it! All of you, stay still for me!"

  The two lions were both on high alert, their fierce battle had just begun, no matter how I shouted and called out, they didn't react at all, there was only a burst of electricity crackling above their heads.

  I furrowed my brow tightly, biting my lip, and Ji Dong's grip on my hand was so painful. What is he doing?! What's the point of this, even if Yu Zhu lets me go as he wishes, I'll still end up back by his side anyway.

  He gripped me so tightly that my bones were about to shatter, and I couldn't exert any strength at all. He was locked in a stalemate with Yu, completely ignoring the fact that I was a living being, allowing me to say all sorts of good and bad things, asking him to let go of me, but he didn't show any signs of loosening his grip. Left with no choice, I had to resort to my ultimate move. I licked my lips, just like vampires do before attacking their prey, indicating a sense of eagerness, whereas for me, it was a sign of reluctance. Quickly, I bit down hard on the back of his hand, holding on for five seconds before releasing, leaving behind a row of deep teeth marks.

  Ji Dong's eyes finally turned back to me, filled with pain. He grasped my hand slightly loosening his grip, but still didn't let go. As expected, I couldn't bear to hurt him, even though he was almost twisting me into a cripple.

  "So, you chose Yu Ge, is that right?" His voice trembled with a deep-seated pain.

  The next second I turned my face to one side, unable to bear looking at him again.

  Yu's hand exerted a slight force and pulled me back into his protective circle. I turned my back to Ji Dong, burying my head deep in Yu's chest.

  "You've understood, I like Yu Wu, you leave, don't care about me in the future, Yu Wu will take good care of me." I replied vaguely with a mosquito-like voice that even I couldn't hear clearly.

  Winter melon, I'm sorry...

  I've made up my mind. Only by completely cutting off all thoughts and desires can there be new possibilities. I have no choice but to hurt Ji Dong, and I hope it will have the effect of "placing him in a dead end and then reviving him".

  "What about me? You really, never liked me at all? Not even a little bit?" Ji Dong's trembling voice seemed to come from a distant time and space, his heartache had been shielded by my selfishness.

  "I like Yǔ." I raised my tone and said lightly with a determined heart.

  "Leave." A low and melancholic voice came from above his head.

  I pressed my forehead against Yu's chest, not daring to turn back, and listened as the rustling sound in the grass gradually faded away. I knew Ji Dong had left, and I could imagine his expression - either sorrowful, heartbroken, or already numb with indifference... I felt like a devil, so wicked and shameless that I suddenly wanted to grab my own hair and fling myself into the surging river waters.

  I'm so heartless, in a way, I have to thank Yu for this. I really wonder if it's me who is influencing him or if he has already influenced me.

  A sudden rush of footsteps brushed past the ground, I absent-mindedly raised my head, only to see Yu Xi's back figure already sprinting on the asphalt road, she also walked far away with Ji Dong.

  I let out a long sigh, not knowing whether what I did was right or wrong. The thing has already happened, and it's too late to regret it now. None of the various plans I had been brewing could be used, and it was completely exposed, like a bolt from the blue that no one could bear.

  The night of the small town swallowed up Ji Dong and Ruo Xi one after another, leaving only me behind. There has never been a moment when my heart felt as painful as it does now, as if I have been abandoned by the whole world.

  "Was what you just said true? Do you like me too?" Yu Wu gently pinched my chin, facing him directly, with sparkling eyes.

  I looked into his eyes, where there was a warm energy that could dispel all my unease, and so the heart that had sunk to the bottom of the sea floated back up. I felt comforted and instinctively threw myself into his arms, answering his question with action. At least now I still have you.

  "Hah! I've always found it strange that there's a woman who can resist my temptation." A condescending laugh came from above his head.

  I pushed him away and turned my head to one side, muttering to myself: "Now that you've said it, I don't want to admit it..."

  I was muttering to myself, and in an instant I was gently enveloped in his arms again. The familiar scent on his body mixed with a faint smell of sweat wafted up, nourishing the pink little flowers in my heart.

  His lips landed on my forehead, a light touch and then left, even breathing was joyful: "Actually, I'm very happy!"

  I slightly raised the corners of my mouth, opened my arms and hugged him back, with my fingers tightly pressed against his spine. At this moment, I didn't care about anything else, no matter how many people were standing around watching, no matter how strongly my parents opposed it, even if Li Xiaoran was standing right behind me now, holding an axe high in the air, ready to strike, I wouldn't have cared. All I did was bask in the warmth of his broad embrace, knowing that from now on, this would be a warm and welcoming space that only belonged to me.
