Chapter 491 - 492: Could It Be Wrong?
Even if you collapse in pain right now, she probably wouldn’t spare you a second glance.
Di Mingzhe clutched his chest tightly. It truly hurt, deeply.
Why? Why is it?
Where did he fall short? What hadn’t he done well enough?
Was he wrong for letting her go?
Di Xiaxia watched the retreating figure of Di Mingzhe, confused as to why her eyes suddenly filled with tears.
She didn’t understand, his figure looked so heavy, burdened as if by a massive mountain.
Di Xiaxia’s beautiful red lips slightly parted then closed again. She wanted to ask him, ’Brother, do you like me?’
But she couldn’t utter the words now, because her ’brother’ had asked her to leave, saying he never wanted to see her again!
Di Xiaxia clenched her fist in anger, what was this madness brewing within her?
Was she angry because he flattered her, used her, but wouldn’t even explain?
She wasn’t exactly sure what she was feeling.
As she watched Di Mingzhe’s retreating figure, it seemed to carry such a weight it could crush him entirely...
All her anger and thoughts eventually turned into stubbornness. Like a stubborn calf, she stared at his retreating figure and said word by word, "Fine, leave! I don’t want to see you again either!"
I don’t want to see you, you annoying pest!
With that said, Di Xiaxia turned stubbornly and walked towards the stairs.
Di Mingzhe’s heavy steps came to a sudden halt. His spine stiffened, and his heart pricked painfully. It hurt, it hurt so bad!
Is she really leaving?
Will they never meet again?
Why hurt so much that it feels ripping through the heart?
He never knew that it could be so painful to let go of someone for real.
Indeed, it hurts to hear such final words from the one you care about.
That uncontrollable sense of sorrow quickly spread to every sense, even making it hard to breathe.
Suddenly, he regretted his words, regretted telling her to leave, and saying that he never wanted to see her again.
How could he never see her again?
Di Mingzhe abruptly turned his head, just to catch a glimpse of Di Xiaxia’s slender figure heading towards the staircase without a hint of hesitation.
He took a deep breath, wanting to call out to her yet fearing it would be of no use.
He could only watch as the woman he had loved for twenty years walked away from him, step by step, gradually disappearing from his sight.
His dark eyes focused on her back, the sight of it growing increasingly blurry.
Is she just leaving with bare feet, wearing only a shirt, for everyone to see?
Although she was always seen to be buoyant, simple-minded, and occasionally absent-minded, he didn’t realize she could be so stubborn!
But indeed, if she wasn’t that stubborn, how could she have chased the third brother for twenty years?
Even choosing to major in architecture in college.
She clearly knew nothing about architecture. She basically had to retake the course every term.
Di Mingzhe watched her step by step, that wrenching pain in his heart was relentless. He gazed at her for so long, wouldn’t she think to turn around?
To see if he had left, or was still watching her?
Di Mingzhe wanted to force himself to turn his head and leave, just like her, not looking back again.
But he ultimately couldn’t manage to turn away, because every small step she took made him feel she was one big step further away from his world.
