With her fingers bent and trembling, Yayoi teared up as her eyes turned red. She stared at that handsome face carved into her memory as she asked the man in front of her, “Luo Qingjue, why, why would you deny knowing me?”
Fiery tears rolled off her face.
She cried.
Eduard Xiang felt something come up his throat. He lowered his head to hide his heartache.
“I am sorry.”
He turned around to ignore her after saying that indifferent sentence.
Ariella Ning looked at her with thoughtful eyes before turning to look at Yayoi with a cold gaze. “Yayoi, as your former classmate, let me give you some advice. Eduard Xiang is not someone you should approach. I won’t be so polite next time.”
She ignored Yayoi’s pale face and walked away with Eduard Xiang, holding his arm.
Yayoi stood there dumbfounded. Tears blurred her vision as she watched them leave together.
Morphy chased after Yayoi not soon after she left.
When he saw her walking toward the couple, he slowed down and stopped a distance away from them. Hidden within the darkness, he stared at them silently.
He saw everything that happened and heard their conversation as well.
He could tell that the man was someone whom Yayoi knew. However, he denied it, which made her sad.
He was pissed that she called the man “Brother Qingjue” affectionately.
However, he endured his anger and only walked over when the couple left.
When he walked over, he realized that she was crying.
The words he had prepared to question her with were stuck in his throat as he struggled to speak.
After staring at her crying for a long while, he sighed helplessly. “Who are you crying for? He is already gone.”
His words seemed to be like a spark that ignited the bomb, detonating it.
Yayoi exploded.
She roared angrily at Morphy. “It’s none of your business! I don’t cry for you, anyway!”
Morphy was stunned before his face turned gloomy. Even though he liked her, he was still hurt by her attitude.
“Yayoi, do you think I want to care about you, if…” “If not for the fact that I like you, I wouldn’t even bother looking at you.”
He didn’t finish his sentence. He knew that she would ignore him even if he said such words.
He laughed at himself and turned around to leave, speaking no further.
However, the sound of her sobbing entered his ears intermittently, knocking against his heart like a wooden hammer and hurting him.
She stopped in her tracks and laughed at his weakness. He still could not let her go.
Returning to her side, he realized that her delicate makeup had already been washed away, as she looked distressed.
With heartache, he raised his hand and wiped the tears from her face.
She stared at him with teary eyes. “Why did you come back here?”
She cried until her voice turned hoarse. However, her tone was still very impolite.
The corner of Morphy’s eyes twitched. However, he became gentler. “I am unwilling to leave you.”
Even though the sentence seemed casual, it showed his love for her.
Yayoi sniffled. In an attempt to hide the fact that she was touched, she said indifferently, “There’s no point in doing this for me.”
He stopped his actions as he stared into her teary eyes, asking her hesitantly, “Is he someone you like?”
