Chapter 64: She Let Him Down

But why would he choose Feng Wei? That's really enough to give someone a headache.

Zi Han also didn't want to think about it; eating their fill was more important.

"Hey! Su Yu Ke! Is Liuli with you?"

Zi Han couldn't get through to Liuli's phone, so they had to call Yu Ke instead.

"How? I have them."

"Let her answer the phone!"

"With that tone? No way I'll let her answer!"

"My tone is just like this!"

"Then I'm hanging up!"

"Don't don't don't! Just let her answer the phone, Yu Ke—you're the best, beautiful and kind-hearted!"

Zi Han said, feeling awful themselves.

"If only you'd done this sooner!" Yu Ke laughed. "Liuli, it's Zi Han's call."

"Hello?"

"Liuli, is your phone broken? I can't get through no matter how I try."

"My phone's out of battery; I turned it off."

"If your phone actually got through, I wouldn't be calling Su Yu Ke! I have to sweet‑talk her just to get the phone handed to you."

"Luo Zi Han, I can hear you!"

Yu Ke had already pressed the phone to their ear.

"Yu Ke is fine; I said I wanted you to answer the phone, and they gave it to you."

Hearing Yu Ke's voice, Zi Han immediately spoke.

"Hmph, hypocritical!"

Yu Ke whispered.

"Liuli, when are you coming back?"

"I don't know; maybe in a few days."

"Still a few days? You're not thinking of not coming back, are you? What am I supposed to do without you?"

"Luo Zi Han, you're not a kid—do you still need to be coaxed?"

Yu Ke said.

"Su Yu Ke, why do you have so much to say?!"

"Yu Ke's parents are away on a business trip for a week; let's talk again after that."

"A week's too long! If you don't come back, I can't even stay at the Gu residence."

"You've been doing just fine staying there, haven't you?"

"No way—I can't stay without you!"

"Then there's nothing to be done."

Liuli smiled helplessly.

"There's still a way."

"What do you mean, what way?"

Liuli felt that Zi Han's tone sounded like they wanted to kick Gu Qing and Gu Die out of the Gu residence, leaving her alone there.

"I can go to Yu Ke's place too!"

"Then you have to ask her about that."

"No way! What are you coming here for?"

Yu Ke flatly refused.

"Why not? I'll just stay with Liuli, not with you."

"This is my home! Liuli sleeps with me—don't even dream of it!"

"I don't care—I'm going, and I'm going right now!"

"Luo Zi Han!"

Yu Ke hadn't finished speaking when Zi Han hung up.

"It's this late and you're not sleeping?"

Gu Qing went to the living room and saw Zi Han still at the dining table.

"I'm going out for a bit; I won't be back tonight. Uncle, you should go to bed early."

"Where are you going this late? You're just a girl."

"I'm going to the Su residence; Liuli is there, so I'll go too—otherwise I'd be bored staying alone here."

"It would be good for you to check on Liuli; I'll have Uncle Chen see you off."

"Okay, thanks, Uncle."

"Stay safe; when you get there, let me know and tell me how Liuli is doing."

"Uncle, you don't need to worry about Liuli—I and Su Yu Ke will keep her company; it's just that Su Yu Ke's parents are away on a trip, so she's going to her place to keep her company for a couple of days before coming back."

"All right then."

"Su Yu Ke, open the door!"

Yu Ke was afraid that if Zi Han came, they'd tell the guards not to let her in.

The guards wouldn't let them in, so Zi Han could only shout at the doorway.

"Is Zi Han coming?"

Liuli seemed to hear Zihan's voice ask.

"I don't know."

"Su Yu Ke!"

Liuli heard Zihan's voice again.

"But how could I hear..."

"You misheard."

"Liuli! Open the door for me!"

"It's Zihan's voice."

Liuli, upon hearing it, ran to the window to look, and from afar saw Zihan's figure.

Yu Ke rubbed their head; this Zihan really gives people a headache.

"Yu Ke, why not let her in? She's already at the door."

Liuli asked Yu Ke.

"No."

"Then she might keep shouting here all night."

Liuli threatened.

"All right, all right! Just let her come!"

Yu Ke thought, with Zihan's temperament, making a fuss all night is something she would definitely do.

"Bǎobāo, let her in!"

Yu Ke made a phone call and said.

Liuli saw Bǎobāo immediately let Zihan in.

"I'll go down and check."

Liuli was worried Zihan wouldn't know which room, so she wanted to go down and look; Yu Ke could only follow behind her, unhappy.

"Liuli!"

Zihan, upon seeing Liuli, ran over and hugged her; Yu Ke directly gave her a big eye-roll, and Zihan made a funny face at Yu Ke.

"Su Yu Ke, what's up with your Bǎobāo? Blocking everyone?"

"Specifically to block people like you."

Yu Ke replied.

"What do you mean 'specifically to block people like me'? What's wrong with me?"

"Not much! I'm tired; are you guys going to sleep?"

"Sleep, why not? We'll sleep together."

Liuli linked arms with Yu Ke and said.

"Why do we have to sleep together with her?"

Zihan countered.

"Then if you don't want to sleep, go out."

"Sleep, of course I will; you let me in, aren't I grateful? Just now I was joking."

Yu Ke looked at her and saw no gratitude at all.

"I'll go take a shower first."

Yu Ke went back to the room first.

"Zihan, can't you just not oppose Yu Ke?"

Liuli asked.

"I also don't know why; I just want to retort her."

"You two really have the feeling of being a lovable rival couple."

"Never mind; next time I'll try to retort her less, otherwise she'll really get angry."

"You still know; that's good."

"Do I know everything? Speaking of which, Yu Ke's room is really nice-looking."

"Right."

Liuli also felt Yu Ke's room was very pretty, with a romantic feel, but she still liked Si Yun's room.

Si Yun's room was sky-blue, and her favorite color is also sky-blue.

Everything in Si Yun's room felt familiar to her.

But if she really is Si Yun, what then? Ze Yan waited for Si Yun for so long; if he knew she had fallen for someone else and married another, how heartbroken and disappointed would Ze Yan be?

She wanted to become Si Yun, but she didn't want to.

If she were Si Yun, she would have parents; she had never dared hope to see her own parents one day.

But she didn't want to see Ze Yan hurt; originally she was his fiancée, yet she married someone else.

She always felt that if she were Si Yun, then she would be letting him down.

"Liuli, what are you thinking about?"

Zihan saw Yu Ke spacing out and asked.

"Nothing."

Yu Ke finished washing quickly and came out.

"You go wash first."

Liuli said to Zihan.

「Alright, I'll go first. 」

Let's do that for all lines with quotes.

Now translate each line.

same: 「Alright, I'll go first. 」

【131】 (they gave original line but we need translation)

"I'm going to sleep first." Yùkě said, then lay down to sleep. "You sleep beside me, did you hear?"

Translate: 「I'm going to sleep first. 」 Yu Ke said, then lay down to sleep. 「You sleep beside me, heard? 」 However, we need to keep the Chinese quotes around the spoken parts. So we keep 「」 around the spoken sentences. The narration outside quotes we translate normally.

Thus: 「I'm going to sleep first. 」 Yu Ke said, then lay down to sleep. 「You sleep beside me, heard? 」

They gave note about punctuation but we need translation of the same line? Probably same as above. We'll output same translation.

Thus final: 「I'm going to sleep first. 」 Yu Ke said, then lay down to sleep. 「You sleep beside me, heard? 」

But we need to keep the line as single output line. So: 【122】 「I'm going to sleep first. 」 Yu Ke said, then lay down to sleep. 「You sleep beside me, heard? 」

Check: we omitted the nuance of the particle 'le' but that's okay.

【145】

In the dark room, Gu Die stood alone by the window smoking, cigarette butts littered the floor, and the room was filled with smoke.

He didn't know if she would forgive her this time, just as Zihan said, if it were her, she would definitely divorce.

We need to keep quotes? No quotes.

He was really afraid, afraid that Liuli would bring up divorce with him.

He called her so many times, yet she wouldn't answer a single one.

He only felt terrible in his heart, an indescribable terrible, terrible to the point of wanting to cry.

Especially when he saw her embracing Ze Yan, her gaze toward him.

Especially, the way she looked at him when she saw her and Ze Yan embracing.

She saw him come, yet she still didn't push Ze Yan away; he felt that at that moment she was as cold as ice, like a Jìngshān.

like the Jìngshān ice mountain that people talk about

Thus: She saw him come, yet she still didn't push Ze Yan away; he felt that at that moment she was as cold as ice, like a Jìngshān.

At that time he first felt, she was so far from him, so far.

All night, he couldn't close his eyes; she wasn't there, he just couldn't sleep.

「Liuli, get up and eat! 」 Keep quotes: 「Liuli, get up and eat! 」

Zihan called out softly.

Yu Ke and Zihan had gotten up and washed up, but Liuli was still sleeping.

But Zihan saw that Liuli was still sound asleep, and couldn't bear to wake her.

「Let her sleep a little longer. 」 Keep quotes: 「Let her sleep a little longer. 」

Yu Ke said.

「Okay. 」 Keep quotes: 「Okay. 」

「Let's go downstairs first, don't wake her. 」 Keep quotes: 「Let's go downstairs first, don't wake her. 」

「Hmm, okay. 」 Keep quotes: 「Hmm, okay. 」

As soon as Yu Ke and Zihan went out the door, Liuli opened her eyes.

She had been awake for a while, hadn't slept well, spent the whole night thinking about things, and simply had no mood to sleep.

As soon as she opened her eyes, still in a daze, she now needed to confirm whether she was Chu Si Yun.

The only thing she wanted to know now was her own background.

「Liuli, awake? Come eat quickly. 」 Keep quotes: 「Liuli, awake? Come eat quickly. 」

Yu Ke saw Liuli come downstairs and said, she and Zihan were waiting for her.

「Okay. 」 Keep quotes: 「Okay. 」

Liuli replied.

「Liuli, eat a bit more. 」 Keep quotes: 「Liuli, eat a bit more. 」

Zihan said to Liuli.

「Okay. 」 Keep quotes: 「Okay. 」

「Liuli, after you eat I'll show you something. 」 Keep quotes: 「Liuli, after you eat I'll show you something. 」

Yu Ke said while glancing at Zihan opposite, and Zihan felt there wasn't anything good.

「What? I want to see too. 」 Keep quotes: 「What? I want to see too. 」

「What are you looking at? Just don't look. 」 Keep quotes: 「What are you looking at? Just don't look. 」

「I always feel it's related to me, Su Yu Ke—is it related to me? 」 Keep quotes: 「I always feel it's related to me, Su Yu Ke—is it related to me? 」

「Yes. 」 Keep quotes: 「Yes. 」

「Then let me see it too. 」 Keep quotes: 「Then let me see it too. 」

「After Liuli finishes eating, I'll show you guys. 」 Keep quotes: 「After Liuli finishes eating, I'll show you guys. 」

Zihan couldn't wait to know what she wanted to show, but Liuli wasn't in a hurry, eating slowly.

Liuli still felt a bit dazed after waking up in the morning, so her eating speed would be slow.

Zihan didn't rush Liuli either, even though he was anxious to wait; from Yu Ke's expression she knew it wasn't anything good for her.

「I'm done eating, what do you want to show us? 」 Keep quotes: 「I'm done eating, what do you want to show us? 」

「Actually there's nothing much, I'll just show Liuli first. 」 Keep quotes: 「Actually there's nothing much, I'll just show Liuli first. 」

Yu Ke blocked the phone photo with his hand, only letting Liuli see it.

Liuli saw it, it was Cheng Li and Zihan.

「What? Didn't you say you'd show it to me? 」 Keep quotes: 「What? Didn't you say you'd show it to me? 」

「Here, look! 」 Keep quotes: 「Here, look! 」

Zihan saw that it was a photo of Cheng Li and her playing at the amusement park; she had never taken a photo with Cheng Li, but looking at it she still felt she quite liked the photo.

「Where did you get this? 」 Keep quotes: 「Where did you get this? 」

「You don't even bother to see who I am? In this measly Luo Hai City, what is there that I don't know? 」 Keep quotes: 「You don't even bother to see who I am? In this measly Luo Hai City, what is there that I don't know? 」

「This photo is pretty nice; why don't you send it to me? 」 Keep quotes: 「This photo is pretty nice; why don't you send it to me? 」

「Zihan, you really... 」 Keep quotes: 「Zihan, you really... 」 (note ellipsis inside quotes)

「What's up, who took this photo? It's pretty nice, I just wanted a photo—this is my and Cheng Li's first date. 」 Keep quotes: 「What's up, who took this photo? It's pretty nice, I just wanted a photo—this is my and Cheng Li's first date. 」

Yu Ke didn't even want to bother with her.

「Are you guys official now? 」 Keep quotes: 「Are you guys official now? 」

Liuli asked curiously.

「Not yet. 」 Keep quotes: 「Not yet. 」

Keep it up.

"Liuli, if it weren't for you, I still wouldn't have met Cheng Li!"

If it weren't because Cheng Li and Liuli are close, Gu Die would be jealous, where would he shout her to come back to the country to help Gu Die get Cheng Li away from Liuli's side?
