C1012 I Don't like You Anymore
Choo Xun did not respond to her apology. He only said, "I heard he did not wake up, but you still announced your relationship."
Shen Yi nodded.
Choo Xun said, "You were already with him on the day of your birthday."
Shen Yi nodded again.
Choo Xun's expression was very calm. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Why didn't Shen Yi tell him that they were already together? Why could she openly announce their relationship to the media but hide it from him? Didn't she know his feelings? Didn't she understand his suffering?
Shen Yi was silent.
She could not explain this problem.
The relationship between her and Choo Xun had been deteriorating since the day Choo Xun took the initiative to express his feelings. As long as Choo Xun had not let go of it, they would have come to this day sooner or later. They would blame, divide, and even break off relations.
Shen Yi was well aware of this, but when she saw Choo Xun directly questioning her, she could not say it.
She could not say that it was because she was running away and lacked a sense of security that she did not take this relationship seriously from the beginning. So in her eyes, this kind of relationship could not be confessed to others, or treated as a way to refuse.
She chose to be silent at the first moment, and also lost the opportunity to remedy the situation in the future. Hiding for a moment was a lie, and hiding for a long time was also a lie. There was no difference.
However, it took her a long time to understand that this feeling of half-pushing and half-pushing had long rooted itself in her heart, and it had slowly grown into a towering tree.
"The day before your birthday, I went to the hospital to see you. At that time, he was at the hospital with you. Actually, I should have thought of it long ago." Choo Xun broke the suffocating silence in the ward and said lightly, "I have been deceiving myself."
His tone was very calm, as if he was saying a line that he had memorized and even memorized to the point of retching. "I came to see you today to give myself a reason to end it."
"It is very funny." Choo Xun laughed lightly.
Shen Yi looked at him and did not say anything.
"Because many times, I don't know what I'm persisting in. And I don't know why I like you. Sometimes, I even ask myself whether I like the current you or the you in my memory. " Choo Xun looked at her with a puzzled expression, as if he was looking at her. He also seemed to be looking at others through her.
"Maybe what you like is the old me." Shen Yi said softly.
She did not like Shen Yi before she came here.
Choo Xun tilted his head and pursed his lips. "Maybe. But it doesn't matter. I don't intend to like you anymore."
Shen Yi quietly waited for his next words.
"Do you remember where you first saw me?" Choo Xun asked.
The first time Shen Yi saw Choo Xun was in the classroom. He was sitting in the backseat. He even helped her carry the box. Shen Yi remembered very clearly that he had cut his hair. He had dimples on his cheeks and when he smiled, his eyes were curved. When he was in an awkward situation, he always liked to touch his head. This made him look silly and silly.
However, this was clearly not the first time the original owner had met him.
Shen Yi shook her head.
Choo Xun narrowed his eyes and did not look at Shen Yi. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the snow-white wall. His expression was somewhat sentimental, as if he was reminiscing.
After a long time, the corner of his mouth curled up and he let out a long breath. "Maybe this is just a dream."
This long love was like a dream of not knowing whether it was a dream of Zhuang Zhou or a dream of a butterfly. From beginning to end, every detail was written in absurdity.
Recently, whenever Shen Yi heard "dream," she would think of Nan Zhen and could not help but continue what Choo Xun said, "Is everything now possible to be a dream?"
There was no rebirth, no car accident, and neither was there Ni Chenjun or Nan Zhen. She might have been lying in the hospital, in a coma like Ni Chenjun, having a dream that was both real and fake.
"Who knows?" Choo Xun shrugged indifferently, then smiled brightly. The dimples on his cheeks showed again. "The first time I saw you was in the school's piano room."
He waved his arms, as if there was wind blowing in front of him. "White piano, white curtains, the sky is very dark, and it is still raining. You are practicing the piano alone in the piano room."
He narrowed his eyes and continued to hum a few sounds. "This is the song, Mysterious Garden. You played while crying, and every sound seemed to be playing in my heart. At that time, I wanted to protect you."
"But now, you don't need me to protect you anymore." Choo Xun opened his eyes and smiled at her. "You will definitely be happy."
After all, the girl who only dared to hide in the piano room and cry was already dead. The current Shen Yi could bravely shoulder all the pressure just to wait for a person who could not come back.
