That day, Yu Yin had just arrived in Osaka and called me at the airport. Although I didn’t like her, I couldn’t leave her alone at an international airport. I settled her in, originally planning to discuss how to handle it with you. But you were drunk, saying repeatedly, “one day we’ll break up…”
I then realized you didn’t trust me at all and had too many misunderstandings about me. After all, we had just gotten together, and our relationship was unstable. I was afraid you wouldn’t accept Yu Yin’s presence and would leave me, so I had to hide it from you, renting her an apartment and settling her in.
“The gently tugged at my blanket, wrapping it around me, and continued: ‘I had planned to tell you clearly once you trusted me more, and after Yu Yin was familiar with the environment and could take care of herself. Later, I was too busy to pay attention to this matter. I didn’t expect you to meet Yu Yin; that day at the convenience store, I saw you two chatting, seeming quite familiar, and I didn’t know how to explain.’
I somewhat understood his thinking but had to point out something he forgot to mention.
‘She likes you, right?’
‘Yes, which makes the situation even more awkward.’ He gave a bitter smile. ‘I knew you couldn’t tolerate me caring for a woman who likes me, so that day at the convenience store, I pretended not to know her.’
‘You really don’t like her at all?’
‘If I liked her, I would have brought her to Japan two years ago, not waited until I met you. I sighed. ‘Darling, we’ve been together for so long. You should understand my feelings. If I wanted to be with Yu Yin, I could have told you clearly. Why would I lie to you?’
If he was telling the truth, it seemed he hadn’t committed any unforgivable error. But Yu Yin said that if she knew about their relationship, she would definitely leave him. And Ye Zhengchen seemed to have something held against him by someone else. I vaguely felt he was still hiding something important from me.
‘So… have you slept together?'”
