Chapter 504: Chapter 503 Marriage, Love, The Past (3)
“I think things are great now, free and easy. As long as it’s good, we can be together. If we no longer like each other, then we split. Besides, do you like me as much as you say you do? If you really liked me, I didn’t see you cherish me much before we broke up. And after we split, for these seven years, let’s not even mention the beginning. After you got married, you treated me the same way, showing little affection for the first three years. You say you like me, is this your way of liking someone? If I hadn’t slept with you, if I weren’t pretty, if it wasn’t me who dumped you, would you even remember me now?”
Usually, Xia Siyu is a bit scatterbrained, but when she sees through something, she understands it clearer than anyone else.
Her words left Bo Yan somewhat startled.
When he and Xia Siyu suddenly broke up, he was surprised himself, not understanding why they were entangled one day and suddenly, he was dumped the next.
He was shocked and a little angry too. After Xia Siyu said they were finished, she disappeared, not answering calls, blocking him on WeChat and QQ, and not returning to school.
He originally thought that Xia Siyu wasn’t the clingy type. Although passionate and proactive, she didn’t bother him unnecessarily, didn’t try to force her way into his social circle, and didn’t strive to be part of the gatherings with him and his friends.
Apart from Han Yifan and Zhou Weiwei, almost no one knew about their relationship.
He was reserved by nature and enjoyed this kind of love affair that gave him plenty of freedom and space. When he liked her, she was there, and when he was busy, she never disturbed him.
But what he hadn’t expected was that when Xia Siyu disappeared, he also instantly lost all contact with her.
It wasn’t until a year later that she became a superstar—making a splash across all of China as soon as she debuted.
Two years later, when they met again, it was her coming to the school to withdraw. She wore sunglasses, looked serious, and was surrounded by a host of bodyguards who treated him as if he were a stranger.
He admitted that his initial liking for Xia Siyu was indeed attracted by her appearance. Bold, passionate, and beautiful—what man wouldn’t like that?
But beyond the attraction, there was also the feeling of annoyance from being dumped.
Men might have that bit of pettiness. If he had been the one to dump Xia Siyu, years later he might just feel a bit wistful. He wouldn’t feel so unsettled, so driven to conquer, to continue to possess her.
After their breakup, he had seriously thought about the reasons.
In addition to what was previously mentioned, Xia Siyu falls in love quickly while he falls in love slowly. Xia Siyu is accustomed to confessing as soon as she likes someone, while he still needed to observe and proceed step by step.
Xia Sicai was also one of the reasons.
Once he was committed to Xia Siyu, he wouldn’t cheat, nor would he do anything to hurt her.
At the time, Bo was just starting out. Wu Di would pester him, and though he was annoyed, he could not bluntly tell her to get lost because he didn’t want to lose face. Xia Sicai was more prestigious, not as clingy as Wu Di, but she was always there, working alongside him.
What he didn’t realize was that his ambiguous behavior was a fatal blow to Xia Siyu. Especially since among his pursuers was her nemesis, Xia Sicai.
He indeed hadn’t done anything wrong to Xia Siyu, but as long as he didn’t reject Xia Sicai’s advances, to Xia Siyu, that was a betrayal.
Even if she didn’t say it out loud, in her heart, she surely made a note of it in her little book, waiting for the day of the breakup to explode it all at once.
