Fei Chuan's tight embrace, the warmth radiating from his chest against her back, his shaky breath, and his pleading voice all threatened to crumble Bei Sangyun's resolve.
Bei Sangyun closed her eyes and bit her lip. She shouldn't say this..."...Four years...Let's be apart for four years... after that, I'll find you," she murmured.
Fei Chuan froze, his expression clouded with hurt and distress. "...You're so cruel, Bei Sangyun. Do you know that?"
Bei Sangyun was startled by the pain in his eyes.
"After chasing me, making me fall deeply in love with you, you suddenly drop the bombshell of breaking up. Then you tell me we're not destined to be together, and now you're asking me to wait. Not just for a day, but for four years?"
Fei Chuan slowly released her, his arms slipping away. "...Am I something you can pick up when you want, then put away when you're bored, only to pick up again whenever you like? Is that all I am to you?"
