"Gu Xian, do you find acting out romantic scenes exhilarating?"

"Countless times when I worked overtime alone in the country, waiting for a ride, do you remember what you said to me?"

"You said other girls lived that way too. Does being single mean one has no right to live? If I'm scared, hire a bodyguard. You have your things to do."

With those words, his pupils trembled.

But I continued, "I have my own things to do now, please leave, and don't disturb me in the future."

I walked to the roadside and hailed a car.

Just as I opened the door and got in, he slipped in too.

"I admit I was an unqualified boyfriend. Can you give me a chance to make it up? I don't want us to separate like this because of a misunderstanding."

I didn't want to waste any more time with him, so I simply closed my eyes to rest.

On the way, his phone kept ringing, then silencing, ringing again.
