Revealing the Truth

Cayce looked sheepish, "I don't even have a boyfriend, how can I have a sugar rush?"

Jonas said: "Get a boyfriend, not a spinster."

Cayce looked at Jonas, "Or you can stay the night."

Jonas quickly agreed, "Yes, I'll go first."

With that, both men were all smiles.

Jonas dismissed Cayce and went out to get some food before planning to go back.

Jonas had just returned to his quarters when a voice came from behind him, "J!"

Jonas was aghast, and he knew he had come for revenge. But now, there was no turning back.

Jonas looked over and saw that it was his predecessor, Sun PeiPEI.

Sun Pepper walked up to Jonas and said, "Jonas, are you just patting your ass and taking me for a pushover?"

Jonas looked unhappy, "What do you want? I want money, I don't, I'm dying, I can't get it out."

Sun Pei Pei tugged at Jonas's clothes and told him, "You must answer to me, or I will not spare you."

Jonas looked helpless: "big new year's day, stop, stop."

Sun Pei Pei does not relent, "who wants to part with you? If you do not give a word, I will not break up with you!"

"Jonas, what are you doing?"

Jonas froze and looked up to see Rose.

Jonas muttered, "Here are the two exes, this is going to be interesting."

Rose pulled Sun Pepper off the ground, "Sun Pepper, I need to talk to J.

"What do you mean, do you want to come here again?" asked Jonas.

Rose looked at Jonas unconvinced, "I think you're testing me, you're rich, aren't you?"

Before Jonas could say anything, Sun Pepper shoved Rose away, "Who do you think you are to argue with me?"

Rose looked nonchalant, "I'm J's girlfriend, and this ex-boyfriend of yours is as far away from me as possible, and you have the audacity to be with us Jonas without even looking at who you are."

Sun Peipei snapped, "What are you talking about?"

Rose was defiant, "You're a country bitch, I'm not afraid of you."

Sun Pepper slapped him across the face, and Rose cursed ungraciously, "how can you hit me?"

Another slap from Sun Pepper rang out loud and clear, drawing a crowd of idle hooligans around him.

Sun Peipei slapped him twice, feeling that it wasn't enough, and was about to hit him again, when Jonas grabbed him: "Stop it!"

"Are you sad?" asked Sun Pepe, unamused.

Sun Pepper brushed off Jonas and said, "Don't say goodbye to me!"

Jonas handed Rose a tissue, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts, brother, don't go, I still love you." Rose said.

Jonas said, "Wait for me at my house, I need to talk to her, I'll be right."

"Okay, I'll go," Rose quickly agrees.

Rose walked up the stairs and Jonas looked left and right and, sure enough, there was a crowd gathered around.

Sun Peipei sensed this and roared like a lion in the east of the river, "Everyone out!"

When everyone had gone, Jonas asked Sun Peipei, "What are you going to do?"

"I didn't mean to do anything, I just came to you for an explanation," Sun Peipei said lightly.

Jonas looked dejected, "We're done here, do you want me to apologize or compensate you?"

Pepper snorted, "You're a pauper with all that money?"

Jonas said: "Yes, I am a poor man. Is that a satisfactory term for you?"

Sun Peipei suddenly pulled Jonas to him and said, "Jonas, you are in my heart and I have someone else, please don't mind."

Jonas quickly shook her off and said to Sun Peipei, "You know, we could have gotten along, but I'm disappointed in your series of actions."

"Just to let you go, I won't let you go," Sun Peipei wondered.

Jonas added: "More than that, you did this to Cayce, you did this to her. That's too much, isn't it? I don't want my future wife, the kind of woman who can do whatever she wants. That's a great example for our kids. I want a woman who's educated, not an uneducated woman!"

Sun Peipei said to Jonas: "I have been like this since I was a child. Where is this self-control? I was born here. Can't you blame me?"

Jonas said: "It's not your fault, it's a normal thing, you can't control it."

"Is there really no way back?" asked Sun Pei finally in a pleading voice.

Jonas also looked wistful, "Sun Pei, you are very kind to me, I am very happy when we are together, but we will never speak to each other again."

Sun Pei Pei wept and left alone despite Jonas's advice.

Jonas looked at Sun Pei's back and knew that this was her death and that if we ever met again, it would be a stranger.

When Jonas came home, Rose was lying under his covers.

Jonas walked over to Rose and touched her face, "I'm sorry I hurt you."

Rose took J's small hand, "Brother, can we make peace?"

Jonas thought for a moment and said, "Think, you need to know something."

"What's wrong?" Rose asked.

Jonas mused for a moment, then spoke, "Now that you know and are willing to come with me, I can make peace with you."

"Go ahead and say it." Rose says immediately.

Jonas looked at Rose, "I don't have that kind of money. Of course, this dilapidated house is mine, and even if I mortgaged it, they wouldn't want it. As for your passbook, consider it a game."

Rose looked at Jonas in disbelief, "So you're a liar."

Jonas said nonchalantly, "You can treat me like a piece of shit, but I'm just a piece of shit, so do you want to make peace with me?"
