"Mad at me?" Xie Wanqing looked at her own hand for a moment, murmuring softly, "I think the one who should be upset is me."
Pei Yuqing remained silent for a while, realizing that whatever he said now seemed wrong.
The room fell silent, their proximity close enough to hear each other's breathing.
After a long pause, he painfully began, "This is my fault."
He shouldn't have been so arrogant, thinking this would make Lu Ziyuan give up completely, thinking it was best for all three of them.
Pei Yuqing lifted his arm wanting to hold the girl's hand by the bedside, but she gently avoided him by raising her hand.
Awkward for a moment, he pulled back his hand with a bitter smile, saying, "I anticipated many scenarios, yet didn't expect him to be so stubborn."
With Lu Ziyuan's usual public image, who would've thought he would shamelessly pursue a girl like this?
Even after she explicitly rejected him, he wouldn't let go.
