Li Ruyue looked at his injured expression and felt a bit uncomfortable inside. She bit her lip, trying to remain calm. "Actually, I was quite angry at first. I thought you were playing with me, but then I realized you didn't do anything wrong. It was my own misunderstanding; I was the one being foolish..."
"That's not true!" Wang Yueming interrupted her, his voice a bit urgent. "Li Ruyue, it's my fault. I hurt you, I'm sorry..."
Li Ruyue shook her head. "You don't need to apologize to me; it's all in the past."
"But you're still angry with me."
"I told you, I'm not angry with you."
"Then why…"
"Because I feel very tired," Li Ruyue said softly. "Wang Yueming, I'm really tired."
Wang Yueming didn't understand. "Why are you tired?"
Li Ruyue looked at him. "What do you think?"
Wang Yueming paused for a moment and suddenly understood something. His pupils trembled slightly, and emotions surged in his eyes. "…You used to have feelings for me, didn't you?"
Li Ruyue didn't answer, but her silence spoke volumes.
Wang Yueming's eyes turned red, his voice a bit hoarse. "Then why…"
"I told you, I'm tired," Li Ruyue said softly. "Wang Yueming, I no longer like you."
Wang Yueming was stunned. He quietly stared at Li Ruyue for a long time before saying, "…I'm sorry."
Li Ruyue shook her head again. "You don't need to apologize; it's all in the past."
Wang Yueming looked at her. "Do you still dislike me now?"
Li Ruyue hesitated for a moment and shook her head. "…I don't know."
Wang Yueming remained silent.
Li Ruyue looked at him again. "Actually, I didn't dislike you at first. Even when you ignored me, I didn't dislike you, but later…"
"What happened later?"
"Later," Li Ruyue paused and continued, "you suddenly stopped talking to me and didn't reply to my messages. I found it very strange; I didn't even know what I did wrong for you to treat me like this..."
Wang Yueming's eyes turned red. "I'm sorry, I..."
"Let me finish," Li Ruyue gently interrupted him.
Wang Yueming closed his mouth, but his eyes remained anxious.
Li Ruyue looked at him. "Actually, I can understand. It was normal for you to feel bad after what happened, but what I don't understand is why you took it out on me. I clearly didn't do anything at that time; I was just worried about you and wanted to know how you were doing, but you wouldn't tell me anything..."
Wang Yueming's eyes were red, and his voice trembled. "I'm... sorry."
"You kept ignoring my messages and didn't tell me what happened. I felt like a fool, completely in the dark and unable to do anything..." As Li Ruyue spoke, her voice choked up. "Wang Yueming, do you know? I really felt useless at that time; I couldn't even care for someone..."
Wang Yueming's eyes were red, and his heart ached.
He couldn't help but reach out and gently hold Li Ruyue's hand. "Please... don't say anymore."
Li Ruyue pulled her hand away and wiped her tears. "You let me finish."
Wang Yueming nodded with red eyes. "Okay."
Li Ruyue looked at him. "I really wanted to help you back then; I genuinely considered you a friend, but you didn't trust me. You preferred to seek help from others instead of letting me know what was happening. You excluded me and made me feel like an outsider..."
"That's not true!" Wang Yueming denied urgently. "I never thought of you as an outsider; I never doubted you. I just... just..."
"Just what?"
Wang Yueming's eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse. "...I didn't want you to know."
Li Ruyue was confused. "Why?"
Wang Yueming looked at her. "You really don't know?"
Li Ruyue shook her head in confusion. "I don't know, why?"
Wang Yueming quietly looked at her. "Because I didn't want you to see how pathetic I was."
Li Ruyue was stunned.
She couldn't understand why Wang Yueming would think that way.
Li Ruyue frowned. "Why do you think like this?"
Wang Yueming lowered his eyes and said, "…This is what I think."
Li Ruyue looked at him for a long while before softly speaking, "Wang Yueming, you are not worthless at all."
Wang Yueming's pupils trembled as he looked up at her.
Li Ruyue met his gaze directly and said, "You're just a bit foolish."
Wang Yueming was taken aback.
Li Ruyue continued to look at him, "You really are quite foolish—foolish enough to think that ignoring me would exclude me from your life, foolish enough to believe that not telling me the truth is protecting me, and foolish enough to think that this would make me stop liking you…"
Wang Yueming's eyes turned red, feeling both sour and bitter inside.
He clenched his fists tightly, his voice trembling as he said, "…Li Ruyue, I was wrong."
