I would insult her, torment her, and even hit her.
But I did not do any of that.
I was merely expressing my dissatisfaction and anger towards her in a cold manner.
However... however,
Every time I see Ye Yu's calm and unruffled gaze, my heart inexplicably aches.
8.
Ye Yu's condition has worsened.
Her hair has started to fall out in clumps, and she looks so thin that she seems like nothing but a skeleton.
Yet in front of me, she appears increasingly composed and carefree.
It seems as if she has seen through her own life and death, no longer affected by my words or those of Lin Ning.
I can clearly sense that her time is running out.
Each time I meet her tranquil eyes, I feel an indescribable complexity within me.
But I cannot show this in front of Ye Yu.
I can only continue to maintain a cold facade, avoiding her gaze and refraining from making eye contact.
I even started to travel for work more frequently, leaving her side.
I didn't want to be with Ye Yu; I was afraid I would be unable to resist being soft-hearted towards her.
Ye Yu began to pick up her books again and learn some new skills.
She focused all her thoughts on herself and no longer obsessed over my relationship with Lin Ning.
It seemed like she really had let me go.
Seeing this version of Ye Yu made my heart ache, yet also brought some relief.
The relief came from knowing she was no longer suffering because of me.
The ache stemmed from the realization that she no longer loved me.
Besides me, Lin Ning also noticed the change in Ye Yu.
Lin Ning seemed a bit restless.
During one dinner, I watched Ye Yu calmly eat and finally couldn't help but ask, "You seem very calm?"
Ye Yu smiled lightly and replied, "What else should I be?"
She put down her chopsticks and looked at me steadily: "Should I cry and throw a fit, urging you to quickly be with Lin Ning and stop bothering me?"
Her voice carried a hint of teasing.
I frowned slightly and said, "You..."
"Gu Ling, I've already let go of the past," she interrupted me with a smile.
"Everyone has loved a few scoundrels in their lifetime," Ye Yu added.
"Don't take it to heart."
I was stunned.
Ye Yu's words felt like a knife, piercing straight into my heart.
She actually said...
She has let go?
How could she let go?
Wasn't she the one who loved me the most?
I instinctively clenched my fists and coldly replied, "You better have really let go."
Ye Yu chuckled softly and said nothing more.
Her gaze carried a hint of indifference.
That indifference startled me.
I couldn't help but think that Ye Yu truly no longer cared about me; she had completely let go of everything from the past.
This thought caused me immense heartache.
9.
Ye Yu began to pick up her old hobbies again, even attending some concerts and art exhibitions.
Her life became vibrant and colorful, no longer confined to just me.
As I watched her smile grow little by little, my heart felt like it had been turned upside down, unable to express what I was feeling.
Lin Ning also noticed the change in Ye Yu, and a sense of unease stirred within her.
During one dinner, Lin Ning couldn't help but say to Ye Yu, "Do you really think that by doing this, Gu Ling will look at you again?"
Ye Yu slightly curled her lips, her voice calm: "I don't need anyone to look at me."
"Everything I'm doing now is just for myself."
Lin Ning frowned: "Stop it."
