"If you don't care, why are you afraid that Ye Nanqing will post those photos?" He asked, rubbing his fingertips little by little against the skin of her neck.

His fingers were cold at this moment, but when they rubbed against her skin, they made her feel extremely hot.

"I'm afraid you'll get hurt." She answered in a deep breath.

He suddenly laughed, but even the laughter was like a mechanical one, cold without ups and downs.

"But how do you know that the postponed wedding will cause me to be less harmful than the photo post?" He asked, his nose almost pressing against her nose, his bangs fell on her forehead, and his pupils were printed with his close face. "Qiqi, you never really understand what I fear most!"

"I..." Her throat seemed to be blocked, making her unable to say anything. So, did she think the protection was hurting him deeper?

"Qiqi, anyone who has let the Jun family down will always pay the price." His voice continued to sound in her ears, like a sharp steel needle, piercing into her eardrum bit by bit, "Since you don't want my love, then I will definitely ask you to pay the price."

Because she was the first and the only person he fell in love with, but she was the first and the only person he didn't want his love!

It was her who threw away his love, and even though he pinched her neck like that, she still said not. She was so determined and so let him... understand what it felt like to be abandoned by her.

"Qiqi, you will never understand the pain I had last night." He said to her...

—————

How much pain does he have? If it weren't for the extreme pain, he wouldn't have said these words to her at all!

After walking out of the Jun Family Group building, Xia Qi had only the cold expression of Jun Jinyan, the look of holding his head, the blue veins on his back, and the look of his hand pressing on her neck.

She raised her hand and gently stroked her neck. There seemed to be a cold feeling of his fingers remaining, but why did she feel so hot when she touched it, almost as if she was about to burn her hand.

When she returned to the dormitory, Lu Xiaoxu had not come back yet, Xia Qi was alone in the room, looking at the knot bracelet on her wrist.

Not long ago, they were still so happy. He gave her a knot bracelet; he told her that he would smile more; when she cooked, he would hug her from behind and murmured that he missed her very much.

But now, everything has changed. Things are changing and moving towards the worst direction. Xia Qi has no strength to smile bitterly.

Now, I'm afraid he won't listen to anything she says, nor will he plan to listen to it.

He said, what would it be if she had to pay the price?

When Lu Xiaoxu came back, she saw Xia Qi sitting on a chair, staring at the bracelet in her hand in a daze.

"How is it? Have you ever contacted Jun Jinyan?" Lu Xiaoxu asked.

"I've gone to find it." Xia Qi replied.

"Have you made the misunderstanding clear?" Lu Xiaoxu said with concern

Xia Qi took a deep breath, "Maybe it was a misunderstanding, but now it is not a misunderstanding." What Jinyan really cared about was never those photos, but her words.

Her words—“No!”

"Since you and Jun Jinyan love each other, you can always make peace." Lu Xiaoxu could only comfort his friends in this way.

Xia Qi didn't answer, but just held the knot bracelet on her hand tightly. Her phone had been locked by Jinyan before. Lu Xiaoxu took out an old phone that had been eliminated before, and asked Xia Qi to make do with it first, and then consider whether to buy a new phone or ask for a phone back when it's empty.

Xia Qi called her home, but no one answered her for a long time, so she dialed Xia’s mother’s mobile phone number again. After a while, Xia’s mother’s voice came from her mobile phone.

"who?"

"It's me, Qiqi, mom, I have changed my phone number temporarily now. I guess I'll call it with this number these days." Xia Qi replied, and then asked, "Mom, are you outside?"

"No, I'm at home." Xia's mother said.

"Why did I just called the phone at home and it's been a long time since no one answered it?" Xia Qi asked strangely.

Xia's mother's voice suddenly seemed a little panicked, "Probably... the sound of watching TV just now was too loud. I didn't pay attention to the phone. I just kept the phone next to me and heard it as soon as it rang."

"That's how it is." Although Xia Qi felt that her mother's tone was a bit strange, she didn't think about it much.

"Qiqi, from now on, you can call your mother's cell phone and call home. Maybe I can't hear it again." Xia's mother said.

"Oh, OK." Xia Qi responded.

"Your wedding is so ready? In another ten days, it will be the day when you get married. Mom is very happy. My Qiqi is finally going to get married."

"Mom, I..." Xia Qi hesitated. Should she tell her mother about her current situation and Jinyan? But her mother is so happy now, once she says...

However, her hesitation made Xia’s mother misunderstand that her daughter was worried about her future marriage, so she comforted her, "Jinyan, my mother also watched him grow up. Mom also saw how he treats you. Otherwise, I would not have changed from disagreement before to agree. Qiqi, Jinyan will definitely treat you very well."

Listening to her mother's voice, Xia Qi's eyes slowly turned red. She suppressed her sobs and replied in a normal voice, "Well, I know."

Even my mother knew Jinyan’s kindness to her, but how could she and him truly trust each other?

If you still can't trust it in the future, will you repeat such disputes?

Xia Qi's mind was messy, but she didn't have the courage to tell her mother what she and Jun Jinyan are doing now.

Xia’s mother reminded Xia Qi a few more words and then the call ended.

Lu Xiaoxu thoughtfully handed Xia Qi, "It's okay. If you want to cry, just cry."

Xia Qi shook her head, "Some things, even if they cry, will be useless."

"You are right. The first thing you need to think about now is how to solve the problem." Lu Xiaoxu patted her friend's shoulder and said appreciatively. Many times, she admired her friend's strength.

It’s like when she was studying, Xia Qi insisted on working until late at night every night. Few people in the class could persist in this part-time job.
