Chapter 270 - 270258: Mature for You
“We were doing great in the past few months, and now just because I got injured a little, you’re denying everything? If you choke on your food, are you going to starve yourself to death?”
“In those months, were you injured? We both refuse to settle for mediocrity. You have your dreams, and I have mine. We can’t let our feelings become obstacles to achieving our goals.” She is his obstacle.
How nice it would be if he hadn’t liked her so much or if he wasn’t so good to her.
“Damn this injury! To hell with the big deal, you are my biggest deal!” Yu Minglang muttered under his breath, disgusted at his bandaged arm.
He thought the injury could buy him time to be with her, but when he came back, it only provoked Xiao Mei to break up with him.
“Don’t do anything self-harming; it will only make me think you’re not a mature man. Yu Minglang, your future will be wonderful without me, and you’ll still be the best among the talented ones. Let’s… end things here.”
She will never forget his kindness.
Now that her family has compensation from the demolition, she’s no longer troubled by tuition fees. She will always remember how Yu Minglang helped her when she was in the most difficult time.
At that time, it wasn’t even about love; he just wanted to help her purely.
She will remember how he made her bed, the can of food he gave her, how he seized every opportunity to see her. She will remember everything about him.
Her situation is good enough to attract the care of most men. If she wants to, there will be many excellent men who will line up to treat her well. Perhaps other men won’t be as quirky as him, not shooting her window with a slingshot, not causing her to fall in a mud pit.
But no matter how good other men are, they can’t replace the mark he left in her heart.
Breaking up isn’t because of a lack of love, it’s quite the opposite; there’s too much love.
Xiao Qian’s hand is already on the doorknob, and his muffled voice sounds from behind her.
“Really, can you give me back everything?”
“Yes.”
“Then give me back my Xiao Mei, and we can go to the night show.”
Aside from that, he wants nothing else.
“Yu Minglang, it’s time for you to grow up a bit.”
Xiao Qian’s heart clenched, and she quickly left the room with the air of a fugitive. As the door closed, her tears fell.
I’m sorry, Xiao Qiang, I can’t give you this one thing.
In the room, Yu Minglang stood still.
Her scent still lingered in the air, the bracelet he gave her lay on the coffee table, along with the white phone.
He stood alone for a long, long time.
Looking at the things she left behind, he should walk over and smash them all, according to his temperament.
Then he would grab the woman who had teased him and run away, chain her up and keep her from leaving, or simply write a transfer request. If she didn’t agree, he would keep her locked up until she did. He would think of all kinds of ways, good and bad, fair and filthy, as long as she could stay, as long as she could take back that damn decision, anything would do.
But her voice still echoed in his ears.
Yu Minglang, you should learn to be more mature.
Yes, he wasn’t mature enough to give her the security she needed, making her fearful and avoiding him.
“If you want to break up, you have to have my permission. Unless I’m dead, I won’t agree!”
Yu Minglang grabbed Xiao Qian’s phone and looked through it. She had deleted her call history.
But his IQhasn’t dropped yet.
He dialed a classmate’s number, “Hey man, help me check my girlfriend’s call history, the number is…”
He wanted to see who had been messing with his Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei asked him right away if it was because of her injury. How could she think like this if no one had talked to her about it?
She wants a mature man, then he’ll show her maturity.
Chen Xiaomei, you wait and see!
After leaving his house, Xiao Qian felt her chest heavy like it was stuffed with cotton. She forced herself to walk out of the family home and stood by the roadside, trying to hail a taxi. The feeling of anxiety was even worse than when her obsessive-compulsive disorder acted up.
She leaned against a lamppost, trying to calm her crumbling emotions.
A flashy luxury car stopped, and Zheng Xu rolled down the window.
“Hello, beautiful doctor, I need psychological help!”
“Do you think I am in the position to give you advice now?” Xiao Qian said, self-mockingly, seeing it was him.
Her red eyes, pale face, and clearly injured state made Zheng Xu squint. He glanced at the family home behind her; had she quarreled with Fourth Brother Yu?
“You don’t want to treat me, but are you willing to let me treat you? If you have any trouble, it’s good to have a few drinks.”
Although the bars open in the afternoon, if boss Zheng wants to play, he can find a place.
Half an hour later, Xiao Qian and Zheng Xu entered an unopened bar in the downtown area. The anti-theft door was opened, and Zheng Xu gave a look to the boss, who retreated knowingly.
Only Xiao Qian and Zheng Xu remained.
“Come on, have a drink.”
Zheng Xu went behind the bar, opened a can of milk for Xiao Qian, and grabbed a beer for himself.
“You’re treating me to this?” Xiao Qian shook the cup.
“You’re upset, and I don’t want to take advantage. What if you drunk-rape me?”
Zheng Xu said half-seriously.
Xiao Qian snatched his beer bottle, filled her own glass, and pushed the milk in front of him.
“If you want me to get drunk and wild, you have to be worth it.” The man who could make her plot now was probably infuriated by her.
Xiao Qian felt that she might feel guilty about this for a lifetime, but that phone call still echoed in her ears.
She had almost killed Yu Minglang, and that was a fact. The phone call described in detail where he was injured and why he was injured.
It was so ironic. In their past lives, he was her benefactor, and in this life, he had given her everything. But she had almost killed him as her way of “repaying” him! She was terrible!
“Could you treat friends as gently as you treat your men? Don’t always stab me when my heart is already broken.”
“Did you go chasing little stars again?”
Zheng Xu shook his head.
“This time, it was a virtuous woman. I wanted to mend my ways recently and had a serious relationship with a university teacher. My old man was so happy he rewarded me with a Qing Dynasty bowl that he’d never given to me before because he didn’t like me.”
“Oh, congratulations. So you want to show off your success in love?”
“No… we were together for a few days but ended it because we weren’t compatible. In a fit of anger, the old man took back the bowl and even confiscated my own hidden Yuan Dynasty blue and white vase.”
This was indeed a tragic story.
If it were normal times, Xiao Qian would have laughed at Zheng Xu and said he deserved it. But now, having just dumped her own “virtuous man,” she felt a sense of empathy with Zheng Xu.
She raised her glass and clinked it with his, “We are both suffering in love, let’s console each other.”
“You mean something else.. How about it? You suddenly had a change of heart and kicked out your Husky?”
