Chapter 13
I said, "You've had too much to drink and mistaken me for someone else." "No, you're Wen Zhi, my girlfriend for three years." "When were we together?" "Since the day we slept together, until now." I...
my silence was deafening.
Next, it was a moment of staring at each other with wide eyes.
After a long time, He Fang licked his lips, hesitating, "Could it be that you don't think the same way...?" My CPU was about to overheat.
He Fang must be too.
Both of us stared at each other in disbelief.
He Fang said, "We slept together, of course we are boyfriend and girlfriend!" I said, "It's not official if it wasn't proposed!" He Fang said, "Why bother proposing? We've already done that! Why propose?!" I said, "Between consenting adults, it's not the same thing!" He Fang was about to collapse, "So in these three years, you've never considered me your boyfriend?" I was about to collapse too, "So in these three years, you've always thought of me as your girlfriend?" "Of course! It was my precious first time!" Wait, my head feels itchy, am I going crazy? I said, "He Fang, have you ever seen a couple who haven't met or contacted each other in three years?" "I tried to find you, but you didn't want to see me." He hummed, his cheeks slightly red from the alcohol.
I tried to reason with him, "Even if we were together, after not seeing each other for so long, we should have broken up." "You didn't say we should break up, so how could it be considered a breakup?" Good double standards.
Love can be determined by brainwaves, but breakup must be verbally stated.
I said, "I've had so many relationships, didn't you feel something was off?" Mentioning this made He Fang even more aggrieved.
"I thought you were intentionally making me jealous by finding other guys..." I suddenly surrendered.
So in these three years, He Fang had been in a relationship with me in his mind alone.
A very new and advanced kind of relationship.
How should I put it - it's outrageous, but when it happens to He Fang, it becomes plausible.
This person is conceited and arrogant, but his heart is exceptionally innocent.
"Oh right, those 200 yuan," He Fang suddenly brought up, "were they for me?" I nodded, "Yeah." He exploded, "I'm only worth 200 yuan to you in your heart?!" That was A's payment for his rent.
But his explosive anger was interesting, fierce and aggrieved at the same time.
I suddenly didn't want to explain anymore.
"You're not satisfied? Then next time I'll add 50 more, if it exceeds 250 it won't be worth it." He Fang's eyes turned red with anger.
But quickly, his arrogance dissipated and he turned away, feeling disappointed.
He curled up on the couch, hugging his knees.
A person nearly 1.9 meters tall, still looked big even when curled up.
"Zhi Zhi, I'm sorry." "What are you apologizing for?" "Actually, Cheng Jinyu was right," he said softly, "the problem wasn't with him, it was with me.
I didn't believe in you, that's why he was able to succeed in sowing discord." He Fang was filled with self-blame.
But I wasn't angry.
It's not surprising that he fell for it.
He Fang has always been carefree, loved by his parents and praised by his teachers.
He hasn't experienced much hardship and doesn't understand the dark side of human nature.
For a young man like him, at the age of sixteen, it's normal to trust a friend's lie.
He Fang said, "Three years ago, after I found out the truth, I beat him up."
Later, when I went to find you, it was for two things.
One was to apologize to you in person." "And the second?" "The second is that I simply wanted to see you." Silence flowed between us.
I don't know how long it had been, but He Fang's shoulders moved slightly.
Under the influence of alcohol, he started sobbing.
"I'm sorry, Zhizhi."
