"I heard that he bullied you. I'm avenging you! Can't you tell?"
Gu Yuan stepped forward, still gently wrapping her in his embrace, but his tone was chilling.
Xu Jiaying forced a smile, "Isn't there some misunderstanding? He never bullied me."
"Really?" Gu Yuan asked, puzzled. He turned Xu Jiaying's face back towards the person in the gift box, whose fate was uncertain.
"Hasn't he kissed you?"
He whispered in Xu Jiaying's ear, like a devil's whisper.
"So I had someone slap him fifty times to vent your anger. Hasn't he touched you? So I broke his hand to avenge you. His legs..."
"No! Stop it, A Yuan! There must be some misunderstanding. A Yuan, listen to me..."
"Alright, go ahead."
Interrupted, Gu Yuan didn't get angry; he simply pulled out a stack of photos from his pocket and threw them in her face.
"One by one, explain slowly!"
Dozens of photos scattered on the ground. Different scenes, but the same protagonists. Xu Jiaying kissing, hugging, holding hands with He Yang, intertwined on a bench...
The people around them whispered, and their gazes began to shift uncomfortably.
"Have I treated you poorly? When you were putting a green hat on me, was I just a fool you could toy with or an ATM you couldn't bear to part with?"
"I didn't!" Xu Jiaying retreated repeatedly, shaking her head in fear as she hurriedly denied it.
"A Yuan, believe me, I didn't do anything! This is all fake; it's edited! After all these years together, don't you trust me?"
"Trust what? That even if you slept with him, you'd still be thinking of me?"
"I didn't! I've only slept with you; you know that! My roommates can testify! Every day I'm either with you or with these people from our dorm!"
Suddenly she turned to me for help: "Su Yi, please tell him I didn't cheat! You have to tell him!"
I couldn't help but laugh coldly inside.
"Xu Jiaying, you know very well whether it’s true or not! I'm curious, how do you have the face to ask me to testify for you?"
"Right now, you're still wearing the necklace he gave you. If you say there’s nothing between you two, don’t you feel embarrassed?"
"So it turns out you care about this necklace. Here, take it back!" She suddenly broke down, yanking the necklace off and throwing it at me.
"Su Yi, do you even have a heart? We've been friends for so many years! Are you really going to demean me over this necklace?"
Friends? Demean?
"If you really consider me a friend, then you should keep your distance from my boyfriend! He can cheat with anyone else, but not with someone close to me!"
I stomped hard on the necklace, burying it in the dirt.
I didn’t care about the necklace; what mattered to me was the immense humiliation it represented.
Seeing that I wouldn’t budge, she turned to plead with Gu Yuan, but he shoved her away and kicked her in the stomach.
"I treat you like a treasure, and you think I'm a fool?"
"What is it about me that you're dissatisfied with? Or do you just enjoy playing the aloof and proud act while being a filthy whore inside?"
Watching her fall to the ground left me completely unfazed.
But when I saw her pale face and how long it took her to get back up, an inexplicable sense of sorrow welled up within me.
As Gu Yuan moved to kick her again, I stepped in front of him and looked him straight in the eye. "If you want to break up, then break up; if not, just swallow your anger! Hitting a woman? That's not right."
He smirked maliciously and pulled me into his embrace, disregarding how painfully my arm was being tugged.
"I almost forgot! Since we’re both heartbroken on Qixi, why don’t we make do with each other and give it a try?" He whispered in my ear, full of temptation. "Don’t you want to get back at them?"
