160. Chapter 160: The Painful Truth 8

"Sorry, sorry, it's my fault, I was wrong. I didn't leave, did I? I'm still by your side, aren't I? For you I've lived strongly, for you I've lived well, so please don't leave me again, okay? We've already missed each other. I don't want to miss again; I want to keep you by my side." Haohua held me in his arms, saying this, his voice choking up.

If he had said these things to me a month ago, perhaps I would consider going back to him, but now my mind is very confused, very confused; I don't know whether I now like Shangguan Yun or Haohua. Because of Shangguan Yun's leaving last night, my heart and my world have turned icy and pitch black. I clearly know I've gradually come to like Shangguan Yun, and I can't easily let go of him, but Haohua...

I gently broke free, wiped the tears from my face, took a deep breath, and said: "That's all in the past; our feelings are also in the past, we can't go back anymore, and we're no longer possible."

After hearing my words, Haohua's face immediately darkened, his eyes showing sorrow as he gripped my shoulders tightly and loudly said: "Why, why, don't you love me? Why won't you get back together with me, Xuanxuan? I really love you, I really love you; I can't leave you. Do you know what kind of life I've lived these past two years? It's my only hope. Without you by my side, I can only look at your photos every day. I so wish to see you again one day, hold you in my arms, look at you, kiss you. Xuanxuan, are you not holding a grudge, or are you still angry that I didn't tell you the situation back then? But I really didn't want to worry you or hurt you, so I didn't tell you. My original intention was also for your sake. Really, please believe me, okay?"

Haohua grabbed my shoulders so hard it hurt; I winced and pushed him away, saying: "Maybe your original intention was for my sake, for my good, but not telling me and just breaking up with me—does that mean you're not hurting me?" I couldn't bear that he caused me such great harm back then yet claimed he didn't want to hurt me, saying it so lightly.

Haohua just stared blankly at me for a long time without speaking; perhaps my words hurt him.
