I looked up at Ma Jia, who had his eyes downcast, making it hard to read his emotions.
I sighed, "A breakup is a breakup; what's there to question?"
"Why do you speak like that?"
"Exactly, you two are about to get married!"
I frowned, "Whether or not you get married has nothing to do with you."
"What kind of attitude is that?" Ma Jia's mother was furious.
"Jiang Yue, I always thought you were a good kid. I never expected you to do something like this behind our backs!"
"What did I do?" I asked in confusion.
Ma Jia's Mother snorted coldly, "You know very well what you've done!"
I was baffled, "I don't understand; please clarify."
"You're still playing dumb!" Ma Jia's Mother looked at me with disdain.
"People saw you hugging another man at your doorstep!"
I was taken aback for a moment before realizing. It was that night when I was with Xiao Huai...
I took a deep breath and said, "That was my boss. Even if we hugged, we're just friends. Besides, we've known each other since childhood; what's wrong with that?"
"You think you have a point?" My dad was also angry.
"Look at your attitude towards your elders!"
"What attitude?" I forced a smile.
"You come in here questioning me without even letting me catch my breath; that's your attitude towards me!"
My dad turned pale after I choked him a bit.
Ma Jia's Mother coldly snorted:
"Jiang Yue, how can you act like this and still have the nerve to speak?"
"What did I do?" I shouted, "What exactly did I do?"
"Isn't it enough that you're with another man?"
Ma Jia's Mother snorted again.
I stared at her: "I told you, he's just my boss. We've known each other since we were kids. So what if we're together?"
"What kind of attitude is that?" My dad slammed his hand on the table, "Jiang Yue, you are simply disrespectful!"
"I'm like this, so what?" I yelled at my dad, "Don't you just want an explanation? Fine, I'll explain, but can you let me have some peace?"
Everyone fell silent instantly.
I lowered my gaze: "I'm sorry, I broke up with Ma Jia. It's my fault; you can scold me however you want, but please leave my house. I need to rest."
After saying that, I went straight to my room and closed the door.
Then, I sat on the floor and cried loudly.
I don't know how long I cried until my phone rang.
I took out my phone and saw it was Xiao Huai calling.
I wiped my tears and answered the call: "Hello."
"Are you crying?" Xiao Huai asked.
I paused for a moment and pressed my lips together: "No."
"Don't lie," Xiao Huai sighed.
"Jiang Yue, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things to you."
"No need to apologize." I lowered my gaze.
"You were right; I have been self-indulgent."
"That's not what I meant," Xiao Huai explained.
"I just... just..."
"No need to explain." I interrupted him.
"I'm tired and want to rest. Do you need something?"
Xiao Huai was silent for a moment. "I brought you some medicine."
"No need." I instinctively refused. "I don't need it."
"You do," Xiao Huai said firmly.
I frowned. "Why are you being so nice to me?"
Xiao Huai fell silent again.
I forced a smile. "Is it because of what happened six years ago? If that's the case, there's really no need, because..."
"It's not," Xiao Huai interrupted me.
"I just... I just don't want to see you suffer."
"I'm already suffering," I said with a bitter smile.
"Xiao Huai, can you stay away from me?"
Xiao Huai was silent for a while before slowly replying, "Okay."
The next day at work, I didn't see Xiao Huai.
A colleague told me that Xiao Huai went abroad for training and might not be back for a month, or perhaps... he might not come back at all.
