Chapter 18: Someone wants to harm you

  "Xi Zheng Huan..." Xia Xing Xin placed her hand on the position of her heart, "Now that I see you... it doesn't hurt here anymore... not even a little bit... I think I've really let go of our past feelings..."

  "Have you let go...? Xia Xingxin, don't lie to yourself... it's going to hurt both of us!"

  "I'm not lying, I'm looking straight into your eyes and telling you."

  Xi Zheng Huan grabbed Xia Xing Yin's hand somewhat flusteredly, "Can't you forgive me?! Didn't I explain to you from the start? She and I aren't in that kind of relationship! I only acknowledge one girlfriend, and that's you!"

  "...kissed..."

  "What?!"

  "You kissed... I saw it with my own eyes, in that fast food restaurant on South Street." If Song Zhenju hadn't asked her out to go shopping, she wouldn't have run into that scene and would still be at home, clueless, thinking she was his only one, believing he hadn't called for a long time because of his studies.

  "That... wasn't... listen to me explain! It was that girl who kissed me on her own initiative! It just happened suddenly like that..."

  "It doesn't matter how it is now, I believe what I see with my eyes." Seeing that girl kiss Xi Zhenghuan, but Xi Zhenghuan didn't push her away...

  "You... still care about me, right? On the surface it's like this but in your heart you're still concerned, right? Right? Xia Xingxin..."

  "Xi Zheng Huan..." Xia Xing Xin changed her gaze when looking at him.

  “……”

  "Listen carefully to what I'm saying now..."

  ...He had a bad premonition in his heart...

  "I don't like you anymore, Xi Zheng Huan, I really don't like you anymore."

  “……”

  "I won't cry for you anymore... I won't fall asleep every night thinking of you... I won't rush to buy medicine for you whenever you have a cold... I won't take every word you say to heart... I won't remember everything you like and dislike... I won't... tell you that I like you..."

  When she finished saying these words, Xi Zhenghuan was already in tears...

  Did Xi Zheng Huan... cry?! Such real tears... Is it because of her? Didn't he not like her anymore... Xia Xing Xin suddenly thought of a sentence that Xi Zheng Huan said to her before, when she asked him: "Zheng Huan, will you cry?" His answer at the time was: "No ~ because my heart is very strong, impervious to knives and guns, so it won't make me hurt to tears."

  Now is...

  My heart is in a mess... What exactly is Xi Zhēn Huàn now?

  Forget it, let's just hurry back home... hadn't walked a few steps forward... when she was pulled back by Xi Zheng Huan.

  "Xīng xīn... it's all my fault... I was wrong, Xiā Xīng xīn..."

  “……”

  "Come back..."

  "No..."

  "I know someone is going to hurt you... only I can protect you... so come back... please come back to me again..."

  "Who? Who wants to hurt her? She doesn't seem to have any enemies."

  "It was that girl who made us become like this now... My mistake was brought about by that person!"

  Xia Xingxin didn't want to listen anymore, "I have to go home..."

  "Don't you believe me?! It's true! I swear I didn't lie to you, that person wants to make you suffer!"

  "Who is that?" At least come up with a name and tell her.

  "Stay by my side... you don't need to know who it is, I'll protect you and not let that person hurt you, that's all. I swear, from now on, I won't do anything to hurt you again. Xing Xuan... come back to me."

  This might be the only trump card that could keep her by his side...

  "I have no enemies, and no one would want to harm me. Xi Zheng Huan, I really don't like you anymore, you don't need to weave any lies for us to go back to the way things were before... because it's impossible..." Xia Xing Yin's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness.

  "It's not... it's true! I swear I didn't cheat you, as long as you..."

  "I won't be back by your side..."

  "Do you like someone else?"

  "It's nothing... strange, why do I feel a bit guilty when answering this question..."

  Have you fallen in love with someone else? A face flashed through her mind...

  I don't know... it's not...

  "That's why..."

  "I've already told you why." Xia Xingxin shook off Xi Zhenghuan's hand, "From now on... we shouldn't meet again."

  "Xia Xingxin!!!!" Xi Zheng looked at Xia Xingxin's back as she walked away with big strides, shouting her name hysterically. Did she not care about his distress at all...?

  I'm sorry... Xi Zheng Huan, I really don't like you anymore...

  The figure that was getting farther and farther away... without any slight hesitation... just disappeared from Xi Zhenghuan's eyes like that.

  Han Di, who was sitting in the swing in his backyard practicing a tune, was interrupted by the sudden ringing of his phone. He took out his phone with some expectation, wondering if it might be Xingxing calling... ~_~

  It's an unfamiliar number...

  "Hello." Who is it...

  "Hello, hello, are you Han Di?" The voice on the other end of the phone was a girl's, but it wasn't Xia Xingxin.

  "Hmm... who are you?"

  "Do you... know Xia Xingxin?"

  "Stars? I know her, we're quite familiar... Hehe... Say, did you call me to find her?"
