Xingyue's POVStirring the soup, I stared at the wall, immersed in my thoughts. A weird feeling was clutching me, telling me something was odd. Yet I failed to identify what that was.All I could think about was how the sudden appearance of someone was drifting me apart from him. I wanted to trust him, but this strange feeling turned into doubt."Am I doing something wrong? What if I failed to bear the truth? What if we drift apart?"The sudden wave of questions threw me back into the cave of fear.But this feeling didn't last long when a pair of hands cupped me from the back."I missed you so much, Xingyue."I came out of my dilemma when his soothing voice called my name.Breathing heavily, I turned, and my eyes met his.The shine and love he had in his eyes—how could I doubt it? I felt like slapping myself.Putting my hands over his shoulder, I smiled. "I missed you too, Xi Song.""How was your day? You're looking a bit tired." Caressing my hair, he askedI nodded, throwing myself i
Author's POVWhile working at her desk, Xia Na received an application regarding Xingyue's leaves. Being concerned, she texted her.Xia Na: Is everything alright, Xingyue? Did you meet her?As she waited for her reply, someone called her name out. "Ms. Xia, someone came to meet you. I've asked her to wait in the lobby.""Alright, thank you."Leaving her phone at her desk, she walked towards the lobby.............................................As she arrived in the lobby, her eyes fell on a familiar figure. Approaching the lady, she bowed. "Mrs. Ling." She had a quizzical smile when she saw Ling Xiao's mom. There was a continuous debate over the reason she came.After a short conversation, his mom came to the main point. She grabbed a piece of paper from her bag and gave it to her."Here, Ms. Xia, a blank check for you. You can fill the amount as per your wish and leave my son alone."Upon hearing it, she scoffed and replied. "Mrs. Ling, my love is not something you can buy off. I'
Tang Xue's POV Cursing beneath me, I walked towards a chicken cafe. Putting my hands over my head, I screamed silently. "What's wrong with you, Tang Xue? How can you even think this way about him?" Heavily sighing all the way, I reached the shop, and my gaze fell on them. "Xingyue? Xia Na?" Waving her hand, Xia Na welcomed me. "Tang Xue, come, join us." After a few cans of beer, I realised they were in more pain than me. I found love too painful when I saw Xingyue getting shattered into pieces. Her eyes lost their charm. Even her lips curled down. How heavy was the burden? Perhaps only she knew. I could see how Xia Na wanted to comfort her when she herself was in need. Xingyue's POV A tear fell on the table when I started telling them the truth. At the time when my sister was living her happiest days with him, an accident occurred, leaving him in guilt for a lifetime. *Flashback* Holding each other's hands, they reached the sunset point on the highest hill of Zhedong Mountai
Xi Song's POV While walking, we reached a corner in the lobby. Xia Na looked around before telling me anything. Her fiery eyes would burn me down if she could. At such a time, I tried to recall all my mistakes. What did I do that made her look at me with such eyes? I squinted when she mentioned Chen Ting. Did she know her? "Xingyue met Chen Ting." For a second, I couldn't process her words. What did she say? I felt chills down my spine as she started telling me the truth. "She told her everything you hid from her, Dr. Song." Her hands wrapped around her arms, and with her pointed, sharp glares, I could see my end. Not too long after, her eyes got moist. "Do you even know how painful it is for her? Ever since Li Shing's death, she has developed an intense hatred for that guy. Did you know how shattered she felt? You always end up hurting her, Xi Song." My world seemed to collapse. I couldn't even utter a word. She sighed heavily. "As her best friend, I don't want to see her suf
Xia Na's POVFor a moment, I halted at my place.He knew it would be hard for me. How could he say that?He broke the hug and stared at me silently. He was too sure about me, but I was too careless.When Taylor said, "He was sunshine, I was midnight rain," I never knew that someday I would feel that line from the bottom of my heart."I promise I won't bother you ever in life if you say that to me, Xia Na."Looking at him, I said something I knew I was about to regret for a lifetime."Ling Xiao... I- I don't love you anymore. I want to focus on my career."Standing firm, I tried to meet his eyes. My eyes almost got blurry due to the tears.He stood there for a while in total silence. Perhaps he was gathering the courage to face it.Only I knew, Ling Xiao, how much I'd hate myself for giving you the pain you didn't even deserve."Just like I said, I won't bother you anymore, Ms. Xia." Giving him an empty stare, I gulped down my sorrow.After a pause, he continued. "Be happy. I hope you
Author's POVSitting in his cabin, sipping coffee, Xi Song heard Ling Xiao's break-up story. As usual, he looked out towards the clock. As soon as the clock struck 11, he got up while taking his coat and said, "Well, you keep sitting; I am going to make rounds."As he started to leave, Ling Xiao asked, holding his hand. "Are you really my friend? I'm in pain, and you're leaving me.""Do you expect me to babysit you then?" Freeing his hand from his grip, he added. "At least breakups are better than having a divorce."His words choked his breath as he stood, looking at him in disbelief. "Wait, are you having a divorce? Why? Did you two fight? Does she start hating you too?"His questions were like throwing a rock over broken glass. He glared, cursing him underneath. "Do you want to die?""I'm just asking, lol.""I'm better if she wants this. At least I'm not hiding anything from her anymore."A knock on the door stopped their talk right there."Dr. Song, Dr. Ling, the director wants to
Author's POV They threw glares as if they were about to eat each other. With a cocky smile on her lips, Xia Na taunted, "Are you a stalker?" Upon hearing it, he could do nothing but force a laugh. "You really think so? I came here on a medical camp." "Oh really?" Xia Na shook her head in disbelief. "Ling Xiao, let's go," said Xi Song as he approached him. However, his feet frowned when his eyes spotted Li Xingyue. "Huh, look, Xi Song, they think we're chasing them." He added, "Besides being your ex-boyfriend, I'm a responsible, hardworking doctor. I don't have time to chase you anymore." Listening to their bickering, Xi Song sighed. "I'm going to Block C. Wrap your drama and come there soon." He left without glancing at them. Perhaps he was afraid to face Li Xingyue. ........................................... While keeping a check on the tools, he noticed Ling Xiao coming. His clenched jaw and pissed look made him chuckle. "Were you happy to see Xia Na?" "Will you be happy
Xia Na's POVToday was a terribly tiring day, or should I say that every day became like this?Perhaps I also knew the reason behind this.Since I distanced myself from him, I lost myself too.I took the key out of my purse, opened the door, and stepped inside.Someone grabbed my hand as I put my hand on the handle to close the door. I was aware of this touch. It seemed familiar.As soon as I looked back, I got pushed and hurled against the wall.Putting a hand over my mouth, he stopped me from screaming. I took a deep breath as my eyes met his. I slightly lifted my hand and pushed him away."What do you think you're doing, Dr. Ling?" I exclaimed."Isn't it obvious? Didn't you expect me to be here after what you did that night?" He reasoned, looking deep into my eyes, making me unsettled."What?"He slowly approached me, racing my heartbeats. My hands got sweaty with just his poker look. I hate to say it, but his serious stare shivered at me.I moved back as my back hit the wall.He c
