Lin Xiyu
"What's the matter this time?"
Guben didn't know the truth. He leaned down, teasingly jeering, "Haven't seen you for one night, and you already want to forget your gratitude and burn the bridge after crossing the river?"
"From now on, don't come provoke me again."
Lin Xiyu stepped back two steps, putting a little distance between them.
"Why?"
Guben's gaze suddenly darkened, revealing a bone-chilling hostility that made one's heart palpitate.
"Go ask your mom......"
Lin Xiyu's heart gave a violent start; grievance reddened her eye rims.
"You're cursing at me?"
Guben didn't understand why, and couldn't help but let out an angry laugh.
"Who cursed at you?"
The nameless fire Lin Xiyu had suppressed all night erupted at this moment: "Didn't you ask me why I was avoiding you? Go back and ask your mom, ask her what she said at my house late at night......."
"My mom went to your house last night?"
Guben was rarely surprised. Smart as he was, he didn't need to guess to imagine how vicious his mother's attitude would be when facing her family.
Lin Xiyu choked out her accusation: "She told me not to pester you anymore, and even cursed Grandma as a shrew."
"This is my mom's fault. I'll apologize to your family on her behalf.."
Seeing her eyes wet, brimming with tears, Guben couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
He subconsciously reached out, wanting to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
"An apology is useless now."
Lin Xiyu turned her head away in a huff: "Actually, your mom was right. We're not suitable. It's better not to have any more entanglements from now on."
"You really think that?"
Guben's arm stiffened. His deep, dark eyes revealed another terrifying coldness.
"Yes."
Lin Xiyu lowered her eyelids, not daring to look into his eyes.
"You'd better remember what you said. Don't regret it."
Guben, young and vigorous, pent up a sullen anger and turned to leave in a huff.
"What, replace someone?"
"The documentary is filming fine. Why replace someone?"
"Replacing someone midway, how do we explain to Xiyu? She just told me her family has difficulties and wanted to draw part of the bonus in advance."
Passing by the Camera, Li Yan's sharp, piercing voice reached his ears. His breath caught, and his footsteps involuntarily halted again.
——
"Xiyu, really sorry. We don't want this either......"
"Don't know what got into the Station Director suddenly. He called Director Du, saying to replace someone. Your ten thousand yuan reward is probably gone too. We'll try to apply for a bit more Breach of Contract Fee for you. After all, you saved someone. Heroic deed is a fact......."
A short while later, Lin Xiyu learned the news of the replacement from Li Yan's mouth. Unable to accept the cruel reality, tears instantly streamed down.
She didn't want anyone to see her distress. She covered her eyes with her hand, wanting to leave, but hadn't run a few steps before she crashed into a wall of flesh.
Guben had returned. Heartache made him want to pull her into his arms, but her ruthlessness flashed through his mind, and he forcibly held himself back.
"Guben, help me......"
Lin Xiyu recognized him. A flash of brightness flickered in her eyes, and she involuntarily grabbed his Clothes.
"Let go!"
Guben lowered his eyes, glanced at the fair, delicate little hand clutching his sleeve. A complex, indiscernible light flashed in his eyes: "Didn't you say you didn't want any more entanglements with me?"
"I only said that because I was angry. I felt terrible inside too."
Lin Xiyu sobbed and cried, still clutching his Clothes, refusing to let go.
"When you need me, you cry and beg me. When you don't, you push me away."
Guben laughed in anger: "Lin Xiyu, you're just relying on the fact that I like you to deliberately provoke me."
"Grandma won't let me associate with you."
Lin Xiyu was aggrieved to the extreme. Tears flowed down her Cheeks, soaking her clothes: "I'm afraid she'll ruin her health from anger. I don't dare make her angry."
The young girl looked like a pear blossom in the rain. Her crying appearance made one feel boundless pity.
