Chapter 297: Chapter 287 Ex-boyfriend

A fierce wind blew through the night as the temperature plummeted.

Tu Hengsha checked the weather forecast, clicking her tongue repeatedly, the lowest temperature had surprisingly dropped to minus ten degrees or so.

When she went outside, she bundled herself up like a rice dumpling, yet as soon as she opened the door, she still felt the cold wind sting her face. She wished to cover even her eyes, leaving no skin exposed. However, on a day as frigid as this, there were still people trying to look cool, wearing a coat and assuming they were stylish, standing under a tree in the wind without waiting in the warm car!

Not in their right mind!

That was the only explanation she could think of.

She scoffed silently with disdain, pretending she saw nothing, her mask and hat tightly secured as she walked out.

Stay looking cool if you like! She had to hurry to catch the subway!

"Little Sha! Little Sha!"

Someone called after her, but she pretended not to hear and quickened her pace.

The person hesitated for a moment, concerning himself with the car first before decisively jogging forward to catch up with her.

How could she outrun his long legs? In no time, he caught up with her, blocking her path, grasping her shoulder to keep her from leaving, "Little Sha!"

Only her eyes were exposed as she glared at him, "Who are you?"

His face was stiff, "Little Sha!"

"You call me Little Sha, but I don’t know you!"

"Stop it ..." he said helplessly.

"Me? Stop it? Sorry, I’m in a hurry to get to work and have no time to argue with a stranger like you! Let go of me! Don’t block the way!" Although her face was covered, the coldness and distance in her eyes were unmistakable.

Don’t know? Stranger? Who are you? She kept repeating these words to draw a line between them or to provoke him?

"Really don’t know me? Stranger?" he asked, staring at her.

"Don’t know!" she replied with resolute firmness.

Fine, no matter how she wanted to play, he’d go along with it! Don’t know him, then know him again! "I’m Xiao Xu, Little Sha’s Xiao Xu."

She shook her head, "There’s no such person in my memory bank! Sorry, I have to go."

"..." He was speechless, "Su Ronggui, do you know?"

This time, she finally looked at his face, "Oh, Su Ronggui..."

Her voice dragged on, causing him quite a headache, unsure of what new trick she intended to play.

"I know!" she nodded.

He felt a moment of relief, only to hear her continue, "How could I not know Su Ronggui? Chief of Chenjiang Daily, our renowned Mr. Su..."

His headache grew worse, as she indeed followed up with, "Fiancé of Su Rongxing!"

"No!" he immediately denied.

"How not?" Her eyes seemed to contain a hint of a smile, yet it was unfamiliar, "The invitations were sent, rings worn, a banquet held, how not?"

"There is none." He immediately raised his hand for her to see, his ten fingers empty, nothing on them, getting agitated, "You know there isn’t! You know it’s fake!"

"Fake?" Tu Hengsha suddenly remembered something, digging through her pocket, pulling out a ring that he once secretly slipped onto her finger when she was asleep, which she had taken off in a fit of anger a few days ago. She held it up, nearly touching his nose, "Is this fake too?" she said, tossing the ring at him.

The ring bounced off his clothing, falling to the ground, seemingly making a soft "ding," or maybe not.

Perhaps it did, as there was a resounding pang in his chest, causing pain.

Apparently, things were far more serious than he imagined ...

He bent down to pick up the ring while she sidestepped to bypass him.

"Little Sha!" he quickly grabbed her.

She struggled, unable to break free, turning back with anger in her eyes, "Let go of me! Fiancé of Su Rongxing!"

He was powerless, "I am not Su Rongxing’s fiancé; I’m Tu Hengsha’s boyfriend!"

"Boyfriend?" She glanced indifferently, "Tu Hengsha said she doesn’t have a boyfriend!"

"No boyfriend?" He grew anxious, gripping her wrist with strength, "Who pressured me to admit I was your Xiao Xu? Who collected a bunch of my rubbish? Who wanted to hold my hand and walk through every rough patch of life with me?" He paused, lowering his voice, "Who thought of every way to seize my virginity?"

"..." Every way to seize his virginity? Absolutely shameless! If it were before, she might have laughed at this line, but now, she could not! With a serious face, she admitted, "Yes, it was me, all of it! Fine, whether Su Ronggui or Xiao Xu, indeed you were my boyfriend, but now, you can only be referred to as an ex-boyfriend!"

When she acknowledged him as her boyfriend, he was momentarily overjoyed, but the term "ex-boyfriend" hit him like a bolt from the blue, leaving him stunned and loosening his grip.

Tu Hengsha wrestled free, telling him loudly in the cold wind, "My boyfriend would never, at any time, under any circumstances, become someone else’s fiancé! My boyfriend would never disappear without a trace at any time and without a report! My boyfriend would never tell me any lies at any time! My boyfriend wouldn’t make decisions by himself, disregarding my presence and our future! Whether you got engaged to someone or not, whether it was real or fake, it doesn’t matter to me; what matters is that I must know! I might be a bit foolish, but I still don’t like being treated like a fool! Thus, my boyfriend won’t be Su Ronggui anymore, nor will it be Xiao Xu!"

"Little Sha!" he called after her retreating figure, but she did not look back.

"Little Sha..." He held the ring tightly in his palm, the diamond edges pressing painfully into his hand.

Tu Hengsha strode toward the subway station; despite the cold weather, Hongliu Road was coming alive in the early morning as she walked alongside the store eaves. The narrow road was filled with vehicles going in and out.

Gradually, a car followed alongside her, the window rolled down, and the person inside called out hoarsely, "Get in the car first, and we’ll talk. I’ll give you a ride."

"No need," she said without glancing.

"Be sensible," he pleaded. "Even if I’m an ex-boyfriend, giving you a ride shouldn’t matter, right? It’s too cold!"

She lifted her head high, "When there wasn’t a boyfriend, I never feared the cold alone, and I won’t fear it now or in the future! This world won’t collapse without someone!"

The morning traffic was crowded and urgent, and his slow cruising beside her was causing dissatisfaction from cars behind, leading to a chorus of honking.

He was both anxious and embarrassed, "Little Sha!"

"You better leave, I won’t ride with you!" Her demeanor, just like the weather today, was cold and unyielding.

With another wave of honks urging him on, he had no choice but to drive away.

As he drove, he watched her small figure in the rear-view mirror.

He recalled the time when his hand was injured, and she took him on the subway. Though small in stature, she was like a mother hen protecting her chicks, using her arms to create a safe space for him in the crowded subway...

The hand gripping the steering wheel turned pale at the fingertips.

Had he made a mistake?
