“He said he wanted to come see you. At least he still has some conscience, remembering how you always saved the best food for him back then. But I didn’t let him come. Mom, what would be the point of him coming? Just to upset you?”
“He has a girlfriend now?” Ru Yun murmured, then added, “It’s also fate. Jia Yi first came to our house, I think it was during your summer vacation. That boy was so diligent; he finished all the heavy work that we couldn’t do in just two days. I really liked him from the bottom of my heart, thinking you two would have a good future, so I didn’t object even though you were young. Sigh! Xiao Hui, since you can’t turn back, don’t think about it too much!”
“I’m not overthinking it. Besides, I was the one who suggested we break up. After all these years, how could I even think of turning back?” Lai Hui pulled out a tissue, wiped her hands, and said with an air of nonchalance.
“Xiao Hui, tell me the truth, did you break up with Jia Yi because of me?” Ru Yun had always been concerned about this, and seeing her daughter willing to talk about it, she tried to ask.
“No, after we went to university, for some reason, we kept arguing. Maybe we knew each other too well, and when the flaws couldn’t be hidden anymore, we started to dislike each other.”
“Sigh, that’s because you were too young, didn’t know how to handle relationships.”
Perhaps that was it. What had happened to them back then? Lai Hui couldn’t figure it out. Love has no logic; when it loses direction, it turns to impatience, tearing at each other, hurting one another. Once lost, reason returns to the mind, and clarity comes. But with clarity comes regret!
