I'm not interested in their arguments, but I was forced to listen to the whole thing.

After Zhong Wannian left sobbing, there was no sound around me, and I continued walking.

To my surprise, Lu Huai hadn't left yet. Before I could take a few steps, he forcefully pulled me towards him, restraining my hands and pressing me against the wall.

Then the kiss came, accompanied by brute force and an indescribable resentment.

He exerted so much strength that I couldn't break free, so I had no choice but to bite him with my mouth.

A sense of pain lingered between our lips and teeth, and Lu Huai had to let go of me.

There was a prominent bite mark on his lips, stained with blood, making him look dangerously fierce.

"Xiaoxiao, did you hear everything?"

He clenched his fists, his tone unfriendly. "How could you kiss Jiang Xu?"

"Did he kiss you to make you happy?"

He held my chin and questioned me:

"How can you just stop liking me because you say you don't like me anymore?"

He seemed so confident, but what gave him the right to ask me like that?

How insignificant am I in his eyes that he thinks even if he has a girlfriend, I should still continue to like him?

I lifted my foot and used my forehead to bump into him, forcing him to step back.

My hands were also freed.

I slapped him.

"Lu Huai, if you don't like me, why should I continue to like you?"

"What does it have to do with me if I'm with someone else? What right do you have to control me?"

He laughed, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. Instead, he was enveloped in gloom.

"I went crazy when I saw you kiss him."

"You clearly liked me."

He wiped his lower lip with his thumb and approached me again.

"You heard it just now, I like you."

He looked at me quietly, filled with hope.

"Let's start over, without Zhong Wannian, without Jiang Xu, okay?"

I laughed out of anger. I really wanted to dig into his brain and see what's inside.

"Lu Huai, are you sick?"

"Why do you think I should revolve around you?"

He frowned, suddenly crouched down, and asked me in a hoarse voice:

"Is it impossible now?"

A look of desolation, his back bending inch by inch.

He seemed like a different person from the always spirited Lu Huai.
