Dongyu said seriously, “I’m very smart and learn everything very quickly. It doesn’t mean that I’ll be useless if I don’t study! I’ll take you to another city and we’ll rent a house. Then, I’ll work hard and take good care of you, okay?”

“Stop joking.”

I turned around. “If I really did go with you, Mom and Dad would hate me to the core.”

Dongyu suddenly hugged me and said sadly, “Then what should I do?”

He cupped my face in his hands and studied me with seriousness. Then he smiled bitterly and said, “Don’t be telling me you’re letting Mom send you overseas to study? Xiachun, I’ll go crazy if that happened! I can’t lose you.”

I was instantly stirred by him. He and I simply packed up our luggage and left the house.

It was a windy night.

He draped his jacket over me and held me close. “We’ll be in the car soon,” he told me.

“Uh huh.”

It was hard to get a cab in the wee hours.

When we finally got into one, Dongyu said to the driver, “We’re going to the bus station.”

I suddenly had a thought and said with disappointment, “If you take me away from here, then what about Lin Li?”

Dongyu’s expression froze for a moment. I didn’t know what he was thinking, but his lips started quivering.

“If you can’t bear to leave her, we don’t have to leave…” I forced a smile. “It’s okay. I’m just going overseas. It’s not like we’re going to leave each other for good. I can come back after I’ve graduated…”

“I’m sorry…” Dongyu clenched his fists tightly but could not utter another word for a long time.

Later on, through Su Qi, I found out that Lin Li and he weren’t really a couple. Lin Li did admire him, but the reason he agreed to date her was just to put on a show for me so that I would give up on him completely.

At this point, Dongyu probably felt that dating Lin Li was the worst decision of his life.

If it hadn’t been for Lin Li, who had agitated me in a sense, I might not have gone down this path.

He must be full of remorse. Somehow he must have thought of himself as the real culprit behind all these things I’ve suffered.

When we arrived at the bus station, he headed towards the ticket booth. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. He rummaged in his bag and froze.

Startled, I asked cautiously, “What is it, Brother?”

“ID…”

Dong Yu narrowed his eyes as he recalled. “I think I left it on the porch.”

I was stunned for a moment and asked, “Is it alright if you don’t have your ID?”

Dongyu gave me a conflicted look, then glanced at the ticket information. He suddenly turned to me and said, “Wait for me at the bus station for thirty minutes. I’ll go back and get my ID.”

I was a little sensitive and protested, “You’re not regretting this, are you?… Will you come back?”

“No, I promise you, I will definitely come back!”

Because I didn’t have a phone, he settled me at one of the seats. “Just sit here and don’t move around. Otherwise I may not be able to find you later.”

“Uh huh.”

Then he hurried away.

I suddenly stood up and stared at his departing figure, subconsciously thinking to myself that this might be the last view I’d have of him.

As it turned out, sometimes a person’s sixth sense can be very accurate.

That night, I waited for him for three hours. But I had never expected someone else to turn up!

“Yin Xiachun!”

My mother rushed towards me and slapped me across the face. I was hit so hard that I fell onto the seat. She looked at me, torn between heartache and anger.. Suddenly, she dropped to her knees right before me.
