"Mengjie?"

A small, tired smile appeared on her lips. Her mind was endlessly thinking ever since she left Yong Liwei's place. She felt so drained instead of saying something, she walked past him.

The man closed the door behind him before he followed her with his eyes as he asked, "what's wrong?"

"I don't want to talk about it, Jingye…" She was not in the mood. Aside from that, she thought of keeping her mouth shut about what happened. It was her own problem, she didn't have to drag them with her. It would be dangerous if Yong Liwei would target them too.

But then, she felt his warm grab on her hand, stopping her from her tracks. "Your eyes." He couldn't help notice. She felt his hold tightened around her hand as he continued, "did he do something to hurt you?"

She couldn't help but smile bitterly at the question. She was betrayed, she was played by him. Completely fooled by him. She wanted to get angry. She wanted to shout, to complain but… she had no energy to even do that. 

"I don't want to see him anymore," her answer was short and brief, not giving Bai Jingye any room to further ask.

Just when she thought that he would finally release her, she was startled by his next move. From behind, she felt strong arms wrapped around her. His next words even surprised her further.

"Then don't see him. Don't even think of him anymore." He may not know what happened but he decided not to ask about it anymore since he didn't want her to be in more pain.

For some reason, the tears that she was suppressing since she had left the hotel came rushing down her cheeks like a waterfall. She felt her chest tightened upon the suffocation that the pain caused her. She hung her head low, her tears dripping from her chin to his arms.

It was quiet in the place and only her sobs were heard. Bai Jingye didn't say a word of comfort but his hug was enough to give her that.

Just when she thought that she was starting to love Yong Liwei, everything between them began crumbling apart to pieces. If she hasn't lost her memories, her identities, what would the past her could possibly do? She felt like she had turned into a completely different person and the one behind that was none other than the man she thought she could love.

Her body trembled as she sobbed for minutes and by the time she was able to calm down, she muttered, "t-that bastard…" she cursed under her breath.

"Should we beat him up?"

A scoff escaped her lips. She would love to do that. She wiped her tears then closed her eyes and inhaled sharply before exclaiming in one breath, "fuck Yong Liwei! I'll make sure to make him pay one day!"

Upon saying those words, Bai Jingye released her from his embrace and instead, made her face him. The next thing she received was a flick on her forehead.

"Ow!" She groaned, touching her forehead. She turned her puffy gaze at him and frowned deeply. "Why did you do that?"

"To remove him from your thoughts," he answered, an inaudible smile seen in his lips.

She glared at him. At least he was able to successfully distract her when he saw her annoyance was now directed at him.

Bai Jingye reached out just so he could wipe her cheeks with his thumbs. "You look so ugly right now."

"…" This man… he sure knew how to irritate her at that moment.

She slapped both his hands away. "Don't touch me!" She huffed. "I'm going back to my room!" She turned around and was about to take her leave but then she was stopped by his next words.

"I heard from Tian Ruyi that you've been craving peanuts so I brought different kinds of peanut snacks for you."

For some reason, she felt her stomach rumble. Her mouth started to drool. She clenched her fists tightly as she tried to fight the urge to eat that night. She was supposed to be not in the mood at all!

Lu Mengjie's body betrayed her when she twirled to face him. "Well… I guess it can't be helped. I should just eat my problems away, right?"

He smirked inwardly, looking as if he had been expecting such a reaction from her. He raised a brow and slightly tilted his head to the side as he asked, "you're going to eat them now?"

"If not now, then when?" She said in her defense.

"It's late. Eating peanuts at this time won't be good for you."

"Why not?"

"You'll turn into an ugly witch."

"…" Her mouth unconsciously dropped. How many times has he called her ugly already? Was this man blind?

She pressed her lips together and instead of saying something back, she began to walk back at him. She stopped just right in front of him. In a blink of an eye, she kicked him on his knee which made him furrow his brows in pain. He slightly lifted his leg and placed his hand on his knee.

"Lu Mengjie!" He looked at her in disbelief.

"Your family tree is a cactus because everybody on it is a prick. Including you!" She huffed and puffed before she finally left him and strode her way to the kitchen to search for the peanut snacks he brought from the mainland.

Poor Bai Jingye. He should have never tried annoying her. Now, look at where it brought him? Hopping his way to the kitchen.
