C2947 My Heart Is in Pain
There were two tall men standing in the narrow kitchen. Ding Ruirui quietly covered her eyes and endured the intense pain. Now, there was only desolation left in her heart.
She did not know why things had developed to this stage. What had gone wrong?
How did she and Shen Guanlin become like this?
She forgot how long she had been standing for. She put down her hand, turned around, and looked at Shen Guanlin calmly.
Shen Guanlin was stunned because he saw a trace of... determination in Ding Ruirui's eyes.
His heart suddenly became flustered. He had an inexplicable premonition. She wanted to leave him... Shen Guanlin's heart fiercely shrank and the pain caused his face to turn pale. He stared intently at Ding Ruirui and wanted to take a step forward and hug her in his arms. It seemed that only by doing so could he feel at ease.
However, just as he took a step forward, he saw Ding Ruirui take two steps back.
Shen Guanlin instantly understood what it meant to feel as if a knife was twisting in his heart.
He stood rooted to the spot. His eyes were even darker than the dark night. "Ruirui, come here."
If one listened carefully, one would discover that his voice was trembling slightly.
Ding Ruirui slightly lowered her eyes and her heart was very bitter. She could see Shen Guanlin's panic and she also felt uncomfortable in her heart.
She really liked Shen Guanlin, but she really did not want to be a canary who would be locked up in a cage and lose her freedom from now on.
If Shen Guanlin could not make a change, she might make the same decision as last time - to leave.
She took a deep breath and said slowly, in a firm voice, "Shen Guanlin, do you remember what I said to you last New Year's Eve?"
Hearing her words, the scenes from New Year's Eve were clearly replayed in front of Shen Guanlin's eyes.
She said that she wanted to respect and trust...
A lump of moist cotton was stuck in her chest repeatedly. It was stuffy and uncomfortable. Shen Guanlin subconsciously clenched his hands. He wanted to explain that he had acted impulsively just now. He did not refuse to believe her.
However, when he looked at Ding Ruirui's calm and sorrowful eyes, he could not say anything.
It was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him. Shen Guanlin was in a very sorry state.
Then he heard Ding Ruirui say, "I only treat Zhao Si Jiao as a friend. I was not feeling well just now. He only cared about me. It was my fault for not being able to maintain a distance from the opposite sex in time. I admit it. But Shen Guanlin, why don't you believe me?"
She spoke very calmly. At the end of her sentence, she started to choke, but her eyes were getting redder and redder. Ding Ruirui tried her best to control her emotions, not letting herself break down and cry.
Her thin and weak shoulders trembled slightly. She suppressed her sobs until every sound seemed to pierce Shen Guanlin's heart.
"I'm sorry Ruirui, I'm sorry..." Shen Guanlin finally could not help but take big steps forward and pull Ding Ruirui into his arms. He suddenly felt that she could leave at any time in his arms, so he could only hug her tightly.
The proud man lowered his head for her. His voice was a little weak. Ding Ruirui had endured for a long time until her tears finally fell.
After all, this was not the place to talk. Even if she wanted to have a good talk with Shen Guanlin, she had to wait for them to go home first.
And today's matter was also her fault. She should keep a distance from the opposite sex. It was just that she was in a trance at that time and did not notice Zhao Si Jiao's approach, which caused Shen Guanlin to misunderstand.
Ding Ruirui sniffed and finally raised her hand to gently hug the man in front of her.
She felt Shen Guanlin's body stiffen and then hugged her even more tightly.
Ding Ruirui suppressed her complicated feelings and softly said, "Let's go home first."
Hearing this, Shen Guanlin's eyes flashed and finally said one word, "Okay."
He deliberately held Ding Ruirui's big hand in front of Zhao Si Jiao. His cold and fierce gaze moved away from Zhao Si Jiao and took Ding Ruirui out with large strides.2
After they left, Zhao Si Kui stood alone in the kitchen for a long time.
His eyes were lowered. No emotions could be seen on his handsome and clear face. His originally gentle peach blossom eyes were flickering with gloomy emotions.
Why was Shen Guanlin able to easily obtain Ding Ruirui's love twice? From the beginning until the end, he could only be a friend. No, perhaps from today onwards, he did not even have the qualifications to be Ding Ruirui's friend.
Zhao Si Jiao laughed bitterly. Just now, he had followed Shen Guanlin's words and said his thoughts. He wanted to test if Ding Ruirui had any feelings for him.
However, Ding Ruirui was very calm from the beginning to the end. She was neither surprised nor disgusted.
It was as if she already knew...
It turned out that Ding Ruirui already knew.
Zhao Si Jiao mocked himself. Indeed, she did not like him at all.
