âYu Weiwei, letâs have a serious talk today, and donât you argue with me!â Li Beiting gripped her clothes tightly, refusing to let go.
âLi Beiting, if you donât go down and get my books back, thereâs nothing to talk about! Let go of me, let go!â
Weiweiâs eyes were red with urgency as she watched her books slowly getting wet and sinking, pain gripping her chest.
She tried to pull Li Beitingâs hands off, attempting to pry his fingers open!
But Li Beitingâs grip was firm, not allowing her to pull away at all.
âLi Beiting, let the fuck go, let go!â Weiwei screamed hysterically at Li Beiting.
Her voice was hoarse, but right then, she was frantic with urgency.
Ever since she started dating Li Beiting, she hardly ever cursed, but this time, Li Beiting truly pushed her to the edge.
Even a cornered rabbit will bite, did he really think she was so easy to bully?
âYu Weiwei, calm down!â
âGo fetch my books from the water, you bastard Li Beiting!â
âJust calm down a bit!â
âTo hell with calm, Li Beiting, unhand me!â
Li Beiting did not let go, and as Weiwei continued to struggle, he raised his right hand.
With a âsmack,â his palm landed on Yu Weiweiâs face!
Not too heavy, but neither was it light, instantly leaving a red mark on her face.
Weiwei was stunned, and so was Li Beiting.
Suddenly, everything around them became silent, as if even time had stopped!
Weiwei stared steadily at Li Beiting, looking at him as if she didnât recognize the man before her, her reddened eyes fixated on him.
Her lips were pressed tightly together, her face still stinging from the slap.
Li Beitingâs hold on her hand loosened; he had not expected that, in a moment of impulsiveness, he would⦠hit her.
The surrounding silence was so profound that Weiwei could even hear Li Beitingâs rapid breathing.
Silence, a deathlike stillness.
Weiweiâs shoulders trembled, her lips shook, Li Beiting⦠he had laid hands on her.
âIâm sorry, Weiwei, Iâm so sorry.â Li Beiting apologized, his eyes brimming with regret.
Weiwei shook off his hand, acting as if she didnât recognize him.
She stepped back, not wanting to get close to him, not in the slightest!
âLi Beiting, you really despise me, donât you?â Weiwei slowly calmed down.
Her face still hurt, and by now, there must be the imprint of a palm on her cheek.
Li Beitingâs gaze lingered on her face, his heart aching so much he wanted to approach her.
But Weiwei wouldnât let him near; he moved one step forward, she stepped one back.
âWeiwei, listen to me, letâs go to the academic affairs office and change your major. Thereâs no use studying this subject.â
âLi Beiting!â Yu Weiwei interrupted him, âWhatâs it to you? Does my choice of major have anything to do with you?â
âIf youâ¦â
âIf I insist on it we break up, right? Li Beiting, youâve said it many times before; alright, then today Iâll tell you, we can break up if you want, Iâm not keen on it!â
Previously, every time this topic came up, Li Beiting would say âbreak up.â Weiwei, being quite straightforward, would laughingly say, âBeiting, I just like this subject. Passion is the best teacher, Iâm sure I can become an expert in the field one dayâ!
Many times, Li Beiting would get angry, but she would laugh it off and coax him into letting go.
But this time, she didnât feel like placating him, she was tired!
âLi Beiting, being with you is truly exhausting. If you really cared for me, these trivial things wouldnât matter. Your concern shows that you donât truly love me!â
âSince high school, youâve always forbidden me to do this and that. Fine, Iâm tired, letâs break up then.â
âYu Weiwei!â Li Beiting shouted coldly, âI forbid you to do this or that, but when have you ever listened? In the end, you still do as you please!â
âCanât stand it? If you canât stand it, I didnât ask you to look. Alright then, today youâll get your wish, letâs break up! Youâve been wanting to break up for a while now, having a girlfriend like me is embarrassing, isnât it?!â
âYu Weiwei, donât be unreasonable!â
âIâm being unreasonable? Who the hell came over, without a word, and threw all my books into the river?â
Weiwei was really furious, trembling with anger while talking to Li Beiting.
She knew if there was a mirror in front of her, her appearance would certainly be unpleasant.
But she didnât care anymore.
If Li Beiting had long wanted to break up, then so be it. You canât force love.
âLi Beiting, I know youâve been looking down on me for days. So today, let me make it clear to you, no matter what, I wonât change my major!â
Weiwei usually indulged Li Beiting. When he casually mentioned breaking up, she would just smile and let it go.
But today, it was different. Why, why should Li Beiting get to slap her?
Just because she chose this major?
Since he had long wanted to break up, then fine, letâs break up. Itâs not a big deal.
âYu Weiwei, just calm down a moment, I did this becauseâ¦â
âYou did it for my own good? Iâve heard it countless times, I donât want to listen anymore! If you really cared for me, you would support me, not treat my choices with such an attitude!â
Usually, Weiwei hardly ever argued with Li Beiting. She believed that since they were together in a loving relationship, they should understand and tolerate each other.
But she never expected Li Beiting to be so unreasonable!
So, once they started arguing, Li Beiting was no match for Weiwei!
âLi Beiting, since things have already been said, letâs break up. Starting from today, donât come to the school to see me, donât call me, and donât interfere with me again! Do you hear me?!â
âYu Weiwei, donât be so obstinate, I said, letâs talk this over properly.â
âTalk? Talk about what? Changing majors? Iâm telling you, itâs impossible!â
âYouâd still not change it even if we break up?â
âYes!â
âYu Weiwei, think it through!â
âWhat is there to think through? Iâve always been clear about where I stand! If it means that much to you, letâs break up, Li Beiting, you think I really care that much about you?â
âYu Weiwei, are you seriously saying you want to break up?â
âBreaking up has always been your suggestion, Iâm just fulfilling your long-standing wish now. Thatâs it, letâs break up. After breaking up, I can find a new boyfriend.â Weiwei spoke indifferently, âThere are so many guys around my age at our school, many of whom pursue me. I donât need to be with an old man like you. Honestly, Iâm fed up with you.â
