301. Chapter 301: Things Have a Reason 18

"Do we really have to do this? Everything's already in the past, and I've made it clear to her that there's no possibility between us—even without you, even if we weren't together, she and I could never be. Besides, I've told her that, and I've told A Chun too—don't I even have the right to make a female friend?" Shangguan Yun said, furrowing his brows.

"I've already said I don't mind, I'm not angry, I'm happy—can't I go out and have fun because I'm in a good mood? You can go out and play, so why can't I? You can go out looking for women, so why can't I go out looking for men?" I shouted in anger.

When I said that, I realized I shouldn't have said it—I shouldn't have spoken like that. I wasn't looking for a man, and I'm not that kind of person.

"That Ahao has ill intentions toward you—can't you see? He deliberately took you out for drinks, waiting until you got drunk to take advantage of you—don't you notice anything?" Shangguan Yun also shouted at me, insisting over and over that Ahao wasn't a good person. In my view, Ahao is far better than him.

"Fine, he's not good for you—you're a good person, and Tingting is good too. Since I'm not a good person, the friends I make aren't good either—does that work? Shangguan Yun, please, I don't want to argue with you; arguing with you exhausts me. Please let me go, let me be alone to calm down, okay?" I said weakly. Tears kept rolling down.

So tired, so tired, really exhausted—my head aches, my heart hurts even more. My whole body aches…

"Alright, let's not argue, okay?" Shangguan Yun's tone softened as well. After saying that, he gently kissed the tears from my face, then kissed my swollen eyes, and only after a long while did he release me, gazing at me affectionately and saying: "You must be exhausted, you must have drunk a lot—let's go back, okay? There's sobering medicine at home; take it, get a good night's sleep, and you'll be fine."

"Home"—heh, what a warm word—that's his home, not ours.

I wiped away the falling tears and said: "No need, you can go back—I don't want to go to your place tonight; I need to be alone to calm down properly."
