At six fifty in the morning, Nanxi woke up and checked the time, she saw the message from Li Weihuan!
Her eyes slightly dimmed as guilt and self-blame rose from the bottom of her heart!
Actually, she was not yet ready, not ready to confront him so soon!
She had to do it eventually, as Yang Su had said, the longer she procrastinated, the more harm she would cause!
Nanxi replied with a single word: Okay!
A few seconds later, her mobile phone vibrated: "I’ll take you to work after breakfast!"
Nanxi replied again: Okay!
At seven twenty, Nanxi’s mobile phone rang. It was a call from Li Weihuan, saying that he was waiting for her at the gate of her dormitory!
Nanxi quickly got ready and went downstairs!
Just as he said, Li Weihuan was indeed waiting there for her; with his enchanting demeanor, wherever he stood, the gazes of all the young girls nearby would be riveted on him...
Nanxi noticed the dormitory supervisor, the aunt from the night before, squinting at her while occasionally glancing at Li Weihuan by the door, a strange look in her eyes!
Last time, in front of this same aunt, Li Weihuan had called her his wife, and then the previous night, Lu Yinchu had taken her away in front of this same aunt. Presumably, she must be confused about their relationships!
A hint of guilt rose in her heart, and when she turned around, Li Weihuan was looking at her with a charming smile!
Nanxi walked over to him and said, "Good morning!"
Li Weihuan cleared his throat and replied, "Good morning!"
The awkwardness between them was probably only noticeable to each other!
Li Weihuan took Nanxi’s hand. She didn’t resist, and the two of them walked to the school gate in silence, each lost in their own thoughts!
In a breakfast shop, Li Weihuan went to order food while Nanxi sat waiting.
Actually, there weren’t many people there, just two in front of her. Nanxi felt perspiration in her palm. Outside, the weather had cleared and the sky was beautiful, but her heart was clouded with gloom!
What should she say? How should she begin? What will happen after she says it? She didn’t know!
All she knew was that she couldn’t wait any longer!
With her heart having betrayed her, what right did she have to stay by his side. Besides, she seemed to have brought him nothing but endless troubles over the past six years!
This was not what she wanted nor hoped for!
It wasn’t long before Li Weihuan returned with their breakfast: pumpkin congee, dumplings, an egg pancake, and a special dim sum plate...
Li Weihuan placed the breakfast in front of Nanxi, and with a smile, he said, "Careful, it’s still hot!"
Nanxi nodded, and Li Weihuan sat down with a smile!
This breakfast was tasteless to Nanxi, but she ate on regardless, forcing herself to smile, her heart filled with sadness. No, it should be deep sorrow!
This man had been by her side for six years, pulling her out of darkness and into the light. How she wished she could bring him the same brightness and warmth in return, but the reality was far from it!
From the very start, she shouldn’t have stayed by his side!
So, it was wrong from the very beginning!
By the time they left the breakfast shop, it was close to eight. Nanxi needed to be at Qi Hang Company by nine. With plenty of time left, they strolled leisurely!
Li Weihuan had been holding her hand tightly all the way, as though he was afraid she’d disappear the moment he let go!
The feeling in Nanxi’s heart got worse!
She called out to him, stopping in her tracks with her eyes lowered.
Li Weihuan stood still, following her lead to stop as well. He turned to her and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Nanxi looked down, not knowing how to respond. Her pink lips were bitten till they turned purple; she wished she could bite through them, but she couldn’t feel the pain!
Li Weihuan noticed her abnormality, placed his hand on her shoulder, and asked again, "What’s wrong?"
Nanxi shook her head as tears somehow began to fall. All the pent-up emotions seemed to erupt in an instant, and she burst into uncontrollable tears!
Li Weihuan stood there, clearly frightened. He didn’t understand why Nanxi was suddenly crying, and why she was crying so hard. He called out, "Nanxi!"
His voice filled with heartache!
Nanxi just shook her head over and over again. The words she wanted to say were swallowed by her tears and sorrow. She couldn’t get them out!
She just couldn’t say them!
Li Weihuan pulled her into an embrace, holding her tight. For some unknown reason, his eyes flashed, and instantly, they turned moist as well!
He said, "Nanxi, don’t cry. I feel awful when you cry!"
Upon hearing these words, Nanxi’s tears came down even harder. She huddled up and let Li Weihuan hold her, but she couldn’t feel his warmth!
