The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 215: Gu Yuan Once Attempted Suicide Because of Chi Yu
"Don’t make such bold statements, or you’ll end up biting off more than you can chew!" Gu Yuan retorted.
Chi Yu went along with her words, "Just trying to make you happy."
"But what you did didn’t make me happy at all," Gu Yuan said, her face turning stern.
Chi Yu pressed his forehead against the back of her hand and apologized, "I’m sorry."
He then hugged her, confessing, "Even if I had to do it all over again, I’d still do the same. I’m never rational in front of you."
Gu Yuan wasn’t in the mood for emotional gestures and pushed him away, though without much force, just enough to set him back a bit. To her surprise, Chi Yu was pushed backward and hit the car door.
It seemed like he had no strength to support himself.
The sound of the impact just sounded painful.
In that moment when he fell back, Gu Yuan thought about reaching out but ultimately chose to remain indifferent.
But the driver, Tu Kuan, immediately slowed down the car and asked Chi Yu, "Are you okay?"
"I’m fine." Chi Yu slowly straightened up.
Gu Yuan said, "Pull over to the side."
Tu Kuan agreed, "Alright."
Chi Yu said, "I’ll take you back to the company first, or you can change your route to go home, that’s fine too."
"No need for the trouble, I don’t want to owe you anything," Gu Yuan replied coldly.
Chi Yu ignored Gu Yuan’s coldness and didn’t try to get closer this time, "Yuanyuan, I’m here to say goodbye today."
Gu Yuan looked out the window, not acknowledging him.
If it was some time ago, Chi Yu talking to her this way might have elicited a response from her. But since that night watching fireworks at the hotel rooftop, Gu Yuan had run out of patience for Chi Yu.
She no longer wanted to care about his well-being.
Tangled and unmanageable.
It had seriously affected her life.
Every word he said that night was too hurtful. Her worst fears were spoken out loud by Chi Yu, shattering her heart, leaving her unable to forgive.
"Yuanyuan..."
"Don’t call me that."
"I just want to talk to you, to say goodbye." Chi Yu’s voice was hoarse, laced with bitterness.
The buildings outside the window became quickly passing reflections.
Gu Yuan turned her head and said to Chi Yu, "I’m so tired, too tired to care about your mess. If you’re really beyond saving, find a quiet place, and let someone notify me on your funeral day. If I’m not busy, I’ll try to come and see you off, we did have something once, didn’t we?"
Her words were extremely hurtful.
Even Tu Kuan could no longer bear to listen.
If he didn’t know about Chi Yu’s situation, he would have said Chi Yu deserved it.
But knowing what he did, he felt empathetic and sad for Chi Yu. Chi Yu couldn’t say it, he truly needed Gu Yuan to hate him.
"Miss Gu..." Tu Kuan gently stopped the car and called out.
"It’s not your place to speak," Gu Yuan said as she went to open the car door, only to find it locked.
She coldly said, "Unlock it."
Tu Kuan listened to Chi Yu.
Chi Yu said, "Unlock it."
With a faint ’click’, the car door was unlocked.
Without hesitation, Gu Yuan pushed open the door and stepped out. Just as she set foot outside, Chi Yu grabbed her wrist and asked, "Do you hate me?"
Gu Yuan initially didn’t want to answer.
The words that escaped her lips didn’t come from her heart’s calmness, and she replied to Chi Yu, "Yes, I hate you."
After saying those words, a heaviness settled in her chest, making her uncomfortable.
But she showed no signs of it and continued, "Hating someone means you care. My hate represents that I still care about you, but don’t worry, this hatred will soon vanish completely, and you, Chi Yu, will disappear from my world forever."
Such harsh words.
But not harsher than those words Chi Yu said to her on the hotel rooftop that night.
Every word he said that night still echoed vividly in Gu Yuan’s mind. She could clearly remember how expressionless he was when he said those hurtful words, as if her heart was pierced and filled with shards of glass.
He could ignore her, be indifferent, and say nothing.
But he couldn’t say those things to her.
Gu Yuan let out a silent smile, then asked Chi Yu, "Does it feel good to be so badly wounded?"
Chi Yu’s voice was so hoarse it was barely audible, "...No, it doesn’t."
"Good, it shouldn’t. That’s how you treated me that night. I’m just giving it back to you the same way. Take care of yourself."
With those final words, Gu Yuan stepped out of the car.
