“Xiao E!” he called out with a heart-wrenching voice, “Xiao E, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…”
A single “I’m sorry” instantly brought tears to her eyes. She took a deep breath, her voice choked, “Go away, I don’t want to see you!”
He said nothing, only his heavy, alcohol-laden breathing came through the phone. After a while, just as Chu E was about to hang up, his voice came softly: “I know, you hate me…”
“Yes, I hate you!
“Chu E squeezed out the words through gritted teeth, ‘I even suspect that those so-called sweet moments, those supposed joys, those supposedly unforgettable memories, were just a facade, or merely a momentary impulse? And you, have you ever truly loved me?’
‘No, Xiao E,’ he shouted anxiously, ‘Heaven can bear witness, my feelings for you were genuine…’
Chu E cried out in grief, ‘Then why didn’t you believe me? Why did you doubt me?’
‘Xiao E, let me explain…’
‘Stop with your sweet talk, I don’t want to hear it!’ she roared angrily. ‘Gu Yunzhi, you’re a complete hypocrite! I was blind not to see your ugly true nature earlier…’
He inhaled sharply. ‘Xiao E, is this how you see me? In your eyes, am I really so despicable?’
Chu E laughed coldly. ‘Not even willing to acknowledge your own flesh and blood, do you think your actions are noble? Brave enough to have an affair, but not brave enough to take responsibility? Gu Yunzhi, I despise you!’
He was stunned. For a long time, he couldn’t speak.
Hearing the sound of the car starting, Chu Yue knew he had left. At that moment, it seemed like something quietly peeled away from her body, painfully. She collapsed on the bed as if her body had fallen apart, tears unknowingly covering her face. Tossing and turning half the night, she finally fell into a daze.”
When she woke up, it was already noon. Just after opening her phone, it rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Without much thought, she picked up the phone: “Hello, who is this?”
The other party was silent for a moment, then said, “I’m Song Yunhua!”
“Snap,” the egg in Chu Yue’s hand fell to the ground, yellow and white spreading everywhere. She took a deep breath and said, “Is there something you want?”
