Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Yes, Qin Ruoke has indeed woken up.

But just because he woke up, the pain that had been briefly relieved by his sleep instantly returned.

Especially upon seeing Yu Zhe's appearance, the pain seemed to be magnified a thousandfold.

What should she do?

Should we tell him about Dad? We should tell him that I am actually the daughter of the person who hit you with his car five years ago.

Once you've spoken your mind, you'll definitely feel better.

That's right... as long as the facts are stated in detail...

Qin Ruoke tried to open her mouth several times, but ultimately couldn't utter a single word.

I can't say it...

How could I possibly say it? If I were to reveal the truth, I would likely face Yu Zhe's disappointment, insults, and even his departure.

After finally falling so deeply in love with someone, is it really going to end like this?

No… Qin Ruoke was really unwilling to accept this.

"No... give me a little more time... please..."

Qin Ruoke spoke these words with a sob in her voice and her body trembling.

Then her actions caught even Yu Zhe off guard.

She instantly broke free from Yu Zhe's arm, jumped up, and stormed out the door.

.

This is very much like escaping.

Of course, another reason why Yu Zhe didn't have time to stop her was the tears welling up in her eyes when she got up.

Ugh, this is bad enough, I'm already wearing wet clothes, and now I have to go out and get soaked in the rain again?!

You still have a cold.

It seems this child isn't done until they develop a fever today!

What should we do now?

What can we do? Chase after them!

With a quick turn, Yu Zhe hurried out to catch up.

This girl really slipped away quickly. By the time Yu Zhe left her room, Qin Ruoke had already run out of the entrance door.

The door wasn't closed, and the wind and rain were raging outside.

Without thinking twice, Yu Zhe picked up the umbrella he had brought from the doorway and rushed into the wind and rain.

His eyesight was excellent; even in the pitch-black night, he still spotted Qin Ruoke, who was staggering forward, not far away.

The pink hair that fell down her back was like cherry blossoms in the wind and rain, as if it might fall down at any moment.

How fast could a little girl who isn't good at sports run in strong winds and heavy rain, especially with a cold?

It takes sheer willpower to keep running in the rain right now.

Yu Zhe braced himself with his hands on the stairs, flipped over, and jumped directly from the second floor.

With his incredible athletic ability, he closed the distance with Qin Ruoke in just a short while.

After going out, Yu Zhe didn't even bother to open his umbrella, and now he's getting soaked in the rain.

He shouted loudly ahead, "Stop! Are you out of your mind?! I'll listen to whatever you want! Just stop!"

It's unclear whether the rumors were too strong or Qin Ruoke was determined to escape.

She did not slow down.

This annoyed Yu Zhe, who was already worried about her health.

He pushed off with his feet, using almost full speed, and caught up with Qin Ruoke in the shortest amount of time.

Next to it is a small pavilion with some protruding edges on the top, which can provide shelter from the rain.

Yu Zhe grabbed her wrist forcefully, and with a backhand clamp, slammed her against the pillar of the pavilion.

The impact was very strong, causing Qin Ruoke to stagger and her head to buzz.

The edge of the pavilion blocked the rain, but when Qin Ruoke looked up, she saw the anger in Yu Zhe's eyes.

"Why are you running! Didn't you hear me tell you to stop?!"

35. The rain in my heart never stops.

A bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating Yu Zhe's sharp gaze.

"Say something! Aren't you supposed to be a fast runner? Aren't you supposed to be brave!"

Qin Ruoke's wrist was gripped tightly by Yu Zhe, and the pillar behind her made an unnatural creaking sound, which showed how much strength Yu Zhe was using to hold her.

It hurts so much… That’s Qin Ruoke’s most immediate feeling right now.

But she couldn't care less about any of that right now; instead, she was thinking about…

How should I respond?

She was trying her best to organize her thoughts, but she was too weak and couldn't say a word in the end.

The thought of continuing to escape surged up again, but this time she quickly abandoned the plan.

Being firmly held in control is one aspect, but more importantly...

She noticed that Yu Zhe's silver hair, wet from the rain, was hanging down naturally, with water droplets still dripping from it.

Not only that, his clothes and face were also wet with rain.

A deeply distressing feeling surged through her heart.

She knew what that felt like.

Heartache and regret.

He got soaked in the rain because he was chasing after her in the rain.

I already owe him so much, and now I've caused him even more trouble. Qin Ruoke... you are simply unforgivable.

Thinking of this, Qin Ruoke let go of all her struggling strength, and like a puppet without power, she was completely pressed against the pillar by Yu Zhe.

Realizing this, Yu Zhe relaxed his strength slightly and secretly took a breath.

"Now, can we calm down and talk?"

Still unable to look Yu Zhe in the eye, Qin Ruoke turned her head slightly to the left and nodded.

"It's good that we can communicate," Yu Zhe calmed himself down and completely released her wrist.

Sure enough, this time she didn't run, nor did she have the strength to run anymore.

Having lost the strength that Yu Zhe had been holding onto, she lost her balance and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The breathing sounds are very frequent, it seems the cold has worsened.

Yu Zhe didn't help her up, because this time, from every perspective, she needed to stand up on her own.

Another thunderclap echoed across the sky.

Yu Zhe looked down at Qin Ruoke, who was squatting on the ground: "I think it's not me who should be talking to you, but you who should be talking to me."

Her completely soaked pink hair looked heavy, and Qin Ruoke struggled to lift her head.

"me…"

The look in his eyes as he looked at Yu Zhe was one of weakness, apology, and helplessness, just like that of a lost child trembling in the dark.

She couldn't utter a complete sentence, but Yu Zhe wasn't in a hurry. He just looked down at her without saying a word.

He could also see that Qin Ruoke was currently engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

That's exactly what happened.

Qin Ruoke now has two choices: one, continue to hide it, so that at least for a short period of time, she can stay by Yu Zhe's side.

Second, tell the truth, but once you do, everything will probably be over.

She bit her lower lip until it bled slightly, gazing at the swirling wind and rain.

A decision gradually formed in my mind.

Sigh... It would have been fine if she hadn't known about this, but to continue deceiving Yu Zhe after finding out... Qin Ruoke asked herself, she couldn't do it.

If it's impossible, then the answer is obvious.

But... it's all coming to an end.

It was such a short yet long relationship, um...it was truly beautiful...

eye

The view before me gradually became blurry; was it tears wetting my eyes, or the curtain of rain?

It doesn't matter anymore...

Qin Ruoke gripped the pillar beside her with both hands, struggling to stand up.

The process was difficult, but she persevered and stood before Yu Zhe.

Two lines of tears were clearly visible at the corners of her eyes.

She longed to lean over and give the person in front of her a light peck on the lips.

But like I said, she doesn't deserve it...

I wasn't good enough before, and I'm even less good enough now.

At least...make her apologize properly and sincerely.

Then disappear from Yu Zhe's sight.

At least this way, it can still be considered somewhat respectable.

Yu Zhe's eyes lit up. Was he finally about to make progress?
