"Let go!" Cheng Zhiyi held back the tears in her eyes, looking at Xu Shao Yan's hand tightly grasping her right arm, coldly commanding him.

  "No! I will never let go, unless you forgive me!" Xu Shaoyan's tone was firm, his sorrowful eyes fixed on Cheng Ziyuan, with tears in them - okay, he admitted that as a seven-foot-tall man, he was now crying because of a woman, but he didn't care about so-called "male dignity" at all; as long as Cheng Ziyuan was willing to forgive him, he would do anything!

  "Qī yī, I was wrong, I was wrong…… From now on, I absolutely won't hide anything from you again…… Forgive me, okay?" Before he could finish speaking, a severe pain suddenly shot through his right arm, and Xǔ Shǎo Yàn couldn't help but let out a loud "Ah——" as he finally loosened his tight grip on Chéng Qī Yī's hand.

  This... this woman... actually bit him? Ahhh— it hurts so much—

  Cheng Zhiyi finally managed to escape from Xu Shaoyan's "clutches". She couldn't help but glare at Xu Shaoyan again, before striding quickly into the alley.

  Xu Shaoyan's face scrunched up in pain, he hastily followed behind Cheng Ziy with a grimace, stretching out his uninjured left hand to try and hold her back again. However, Cheng Ziy turned around like a ferocious tigress and roared at him: "I'm warning you - don't touch me!"

  Xu Shaoyan could only awkwardly withdraw his hand and follow her from behind with a mixture of quick and slow steps.

  "Are you a little dog? How can you bite people? Wooo - it really hurts!"

  "Don't be like this, okay? I know I was wrong......I really know I was wrong!"

  "You can punish me however you want, just don't ignore me... Don't always avoid it, can't you face it bravely?"

  "Just trust me one more time - if you just believe in me, that's enough, I'll take care of everything else"

  ……

  "Bang!" The iron gate of the courtyard was heavily closed by Cheng Zhiyi, and Xu Shaoyan could only "gaze at the door with a sigh". However, he refused to give up and loudly shouted: "No matter what, I will never give up on you - if you don't come out to see me, I won't leave - I'm serious - I'll keep waiting for you here!"

  As the iron gate closed, tears finally fell from her eyes. Cheng Zhiyi leaned against the gate, covering her face and crying silently - I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Please forgive my weakness, compared to you, I have too little, so I worry more. I will never be as strong and carefree as you.

  "Cheng Zhiyi, can you open the door? Don't ignore me like this..." Outside the door, Xu Shaoyan continued to beg her, refusing to leave.

  Jingyi gently wiped away her tears and forced herself to walk into the house - fortunately, her parents had a social engagement that night, and Mowei had also returned to her own home; otherwise, if they saw how heartbroken she was, they would definitely worry again!

  She hastily made dinner, sitting alone at the table but unable to swallow her food. Her eyes kept welling up with tears, and she felt like she was suffocating from heartache. Yet, she forced herself to ignore Xu Shaoyan's calls - her phone on the table rang nonstop, call after call, all from him.

  At last, Cheng Zhiyi could no longer hold back, and she buried her face in the table and sobbed uncontrollably...

  She didn't know how long she had cried, but when she finally caught her breath, it was raining outside. The raindrops, neither big nor small, gently tapped against the windowpane, like a homeless and sorrowful woman, persistently knocking on the door, determined to enter Cheng Zhiyi's heart.

  Oh... it's raining!

  Has Xǔ Shǎoyàn left? Will he still be waiting for her at the door? Will he get rained on? The autumn rain, although not as icy and bone-chilling as winter rain, has a hint of coolness to it. If you get caught in it for too long, you might catch a cold!

  Jing Yi suddenly became worried, hastily "dang dang dang" ran up to the third floor of her own room, "swish" pulled open the curtains, only to see that under the dim streetlights, smoke and fog swirled, fine rain fell, and the entrance was empty.

  Xu Shaoyan... is gone!

  "Hmph, he said he'd always be there waiting for her, said he'd wait until she opened the door... How could he flee in such a flurry just because of a few drops of rain? A man's words are indeed unreliable..."

  Jing's heart surged with a wave of loss, and tears couldn't help but fall again. She slowly squatted on the floor, kneeling down and crying, with tears pouring down like rain.

  Wuuu...... Xu Shao Yan, why did you have to come and provoke me? You already have a fiancée, how can you barge into my life without my consent and occupy my heart... It's all because of you that I was humiliated by that woman, it's all because of you that I became the third wheel, despised by everyone... It's all your fault!

  Woe is me...... What should I do now? What should I do? I don't want to care about you anymore, but thinking of really breaking up with you, why does my heart hurt so much?... I also want to love on, but if we really continue to be together, wouldn't I be the culprit who ruins your marriage with Bai Jie?

  You said you never loved Baijie, the one you love is me. But who can understand our love? Who can see the truth behind things? To outsiders, it's all my fault! It's all my fault!

  Xu Shaoyan, you scoundrel, how could you put me in such a predicament? How could you harm me like this?

  ……

  Jing Yi's heart was filled with a mix of emotions - frustration, sadness, pain, hesitation and resentment. She couldn't help but immerse herself in her own sorrow, crying until she was exhausted, when suddenly, she heard her mother's shout from downstairs...

  "Zhī yī——zhī yī——are you home? I'm back at Jiǔ Pǐn Literature, welcome to visit! You can quickly enter this site by searching for "Jiǔ Pǐn Literature" on any search engine.

  Is Mom back? Oh no, what's going to happen now that I've cried like this?! Mom will definitely ask me a million questions again.

  Jing Yiyi suddenly came back to her senses, hastily wiping away the tears on her face, and ran to the dresser to take a look - her eyes were red and swollen, looking terrible!

  "Zhī yī - hurry up and come down! Look who's here - " Mama Cheng shouted again, urging her.

  It's terrible... There are still guests, looking at this human-not-human, ghost-not-ghost appearance of mine, how can I go out and meet people...

  "Here I come——" Cheng Zhiyi finally steeled herself, her eyes red and puffy, and went downstairs. When she reached the staircase entrance, she was surprised to see Xu Shaoyan standing in her living room with a smile on his face!

  This guy... didn't he leave? How is it that he's now standing in front of her? Is she... dreaming or something?

  What's going on here?!
