I arranged to meet Li Rong at a hot pot restaurant.
Sitting across from each other, the steaming pot bubbled in the private room.
I looked at him and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
He replied, "Anything."
"..."
I flipped through the menu and said, "Then let's have hot pot."
When the food arrived, we ate in silence.
I lowered my gaze while he reached over with his chopsticks and picked up a piece of shrimp paste for me.
I looked at him and said, "If you're going to pick up shrimp paste, just pick that; don't grab my leg."
Li Rong's face turned red, but he still didn't pull back his foot; instead, it pressed even closer against my calf.
I maintained my composure and asked, "Are you full?"
He nodded.
I continued, "Then let's talk about serious matters."
"..."
Li Rong looked at me and said, "Sister, what do you want to say?"
I met his gaze and asked, "What do you think our relationship is?"
Li Rong paused slightly.
I pressed on, "Brother and sister?"
"..."
His face paled a bit, yet he continued to look at me without saying a word.
I held his gaze and said, "Actually, I think that whatever our relationship is, it doesn't really matter."
"..."
"And besides, I don't know you, and you don't know me," I continued. "You might just like me for my money or because I helped you before and you feel grateful; those feelings aren't real affection. Similarly, I might just think you're young and attractive and want to keep a little pet, but those aren't genuine feelings either. So I think it would be better if we took some time apart."
"..."
Li Rong's face turned pale as he looked at me, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "Sister, I like you."
"..."
I looked at him, saying nothing.
Li Rong's voice was tinged with tears: "I really like you, the kind of love at first sight."
"..."
I calmly replied, "But I don't like you."
"..."
Tears fell from Li Rong's eyes.
He lowered his head, tears dripping down.
I remained silent, quietly watching him.
After a long while, he sniffed and looked up at me: "Sister, I agree to break up."
"..."
I looked at him, saying nothing.
Li Rong's eyes were red, tears swirling inside: "Sister, how long will we be apart?"
"..."
I looked at him: "It could be any length of time."
"..."
Li Rong lowered his head, not wanting me to see his tears.
His voice was very soft: "I understand."
"..."
I looked at him: "Let's go."
"..."
Li Rong stood up and walked out.
When he reached the door, he stopped, not turning back, facing away from me: "Sister, I agree to break up."
"..."
I looked at him: "Okay."
Li Rong said nothing more and pushed the door open to leave.
In that moment when the door closed, my heart suddenly felt empty.
I want to cry.
...
I don't know if I really like Li Rong.
But I know I have to break up with him.
If I don't like him, there's no need to keep entangling.
If I do like him, then I definitely can't continue to be entangled.
I can't keep supporting him, and I can't have any contact with him.
I need to let him leave my life.
Cut it off completely.
I've deleted all of Li Rong's contact information, even his connections.
This weekend, my grandfather called me and asked me to come back to the old house for dinner.
He also asked me to bring Xu Qian back with me.
I took Xu Qian back with me.
When my grandfather saw me, he snorted coldly: "So you know how to come back?"
I walked over and sat down next to him: "Didn't you ask me to come back?"
My grandfather glared at me: "Just because I asked you to come back, you do? How come you never listen so well usually?"
"..."
I had nothing to say.
Xu Qian sat across from me, smiling as he watched us.
My grandfather looked at him and immediately brightened up: "Xiao Wen, are you busy with work? Have you been resting well lately?"
"..."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious.
My grandfather and Xu Qian were chatting happily.
I sat across from them like an outsider, watching them.
After dinner, Xu Qian and I got in the car.
Xu Qian fastened his seatbelt and turned to look at me: "You seem pretty close with your grandfather."
"......"
I stared ahead, not saying a word.
Xu Qian chuckled, "Your grandfather already knows about you letting Li Rong go."
"......"
I still remained silent.
Xu Qian sighed, "Liu Yajie, your grandfather really likes me."
"......"
I turned my head to look at him.
Xu Qian gazed forward, his thin lips slightly parted, "What do you think is the reason for that?"
"......"
I withdrew my gaze and sneered, "Because he is my grandfather."
"......"
Xu Qian also sneered, "Liu Yajie, is that really what you think?"
"......"
I didn't respond.
Xu Qian didn't say anything further either.
The car stopped at the intersection, and I got out.
Xu Qian rolled down the window and looked at me, "Liu Yajie, do you like Li Rong?"
"......"
I maintained a blank expression, "I like money."
"......"
Xu Qian looked at me, "Liu Yajie, is love really not important to you at all?"
"......"
I lowered my eyes and calmly replied, "Not important."
