That day, An Rui had a day of lessons and went to the dance studio to practice at night. She was rather tired.
When she heard Shen Mingxiu asking her to go out in the middle of the night just to let his brother take a look, she was furious.
They started to quarrel after a few words.
She hung up.
After hanging up, she was no longer sleepy.
She had always been used to giving in to him. After such an argument, she started to wonder if she was wrong.
After all, apart from giving in, he usually doted on her.
She changed her clothes and went out of the dormitory after letting her roommate know.
She took a taxi to the bar he was in.
Although she studied music, she usually did not like this kind of place.
She walked around the dimly lit hall and found a group of men and women sitting in the booth.
Shen Mingxiu had drunk a lot and there was a girl in a short skirt sitting beside him.
The bar was too noisy and she could not hear what they were saying. She was about to walk over when she saw the girl kissing Shen Mingxiu’s cheek.
Shen Mingxiu had a cigarette between his lips, one hand on the sofa and the other on the girl’s shoulder. His eyes were slightly closed and it was obvious that he had drunk a little too much.
Seeing this, An Rui’s mind buzzed.
She was a person who could not stand being betrayed and did not want to swallow her anger.
She walked over, picked up a glass of wine and splashed it on Shen Mingxiu’s face.
Shen Mingxiu immediately sobered up. Seeing the angry An Rui, he stood up nervously.
An Rui ran out of the bar with red eyes.
Shen Mingxiu chased after her and pulled An Rui aside when she opened the taxi door.
Shen Mingxiu explained. They were playing truth or dare and the girl who kissed him was playing dare. He had drunk a little too much, so she kissed him.
An Rui’s mind was in a mess and she did not know if he was telling the truth.
Usually, no matter how much they played, it was only between the two of them. But now, there was another person.
That night, he had hugged her and said a lot. He always asked her out and he was embarrassed in front of his brothers, so he drank too much.
In the end, her heart softened.
She thought that this matter was over when that girl suddenly called to meet An Rui.
The girl told her a lot about what had happened between Shen Mingxiu and her. Not long after school started, she acknowledged Shen Mingxiu as her godbrother. When she was sick, Shen Mingxiu helped her get food, water and medicine. When she could not find a seat in class, Shen Mingxiu asked someone to help her reserve a seat. When she had her period during physical education class, Shen Mingxiu sent her to the clinic…
Although Shen Mingxiu had told her clearly that he had a girlfriend and only treated her as his younger sister, she could not help but like Shen Mingxiu.
She told An Rui to cherish Shen Mingxiu and not let her get the chance. If not, she would not let go of the chance!
An Rui was furious.
But she could not do anything to that girl. After all, she had not done anything to ruin her relationship with Shen Mingxiu.
The most important thing was Shen Mingxiu’s attitude.
An Rui immediately asked Shen Mingxiu out.
She directly said that the girl liked him and Shen Mingxiu said that he knew, but only treated her as his younger sister.
An Rui told him to cut ties with that girl or break up.
Shen Mingxiu ruffled An Rui’s hair, saying cheekily that she was making a mountain out of a molehill and that he would never betray her.
She was relentless. No girl could stand having an invisible bomb by their side, right?
Seeing that she was being unreasonable and getting more fierce, Shen Mingxiu gradually lost his patience.
They had a fierce argument and she broke up in a fit of anger.
Shen Mingxiu was also angry and broke up just like that!
The two of them turned and left. She took a few steps and turned back to look at him.
But he did not turn back.
Thinking about it now, the pain of her heart being crushed by someone seemed to still be spreading to her limbs.
How sweet they were in the past was how miserable they felt when they broke up!
Ye Tian watched as An Rui’s tears fell as she spoke. She hurriedly took out a tissue from her bag and wiped them for her. “It’s been so long, hasn’t he come to look for you?”
An Rui closed her eyes and wiped her tears with a tissue. “I did, but when that girl was mentioned, he felt that I was unreasonable and thought that he couldn’t have friends of the opposite sex.”
“He didn’t say it explicitly, but I can guess that he might think that I’m petty.”
What should she say about Shen Mingxiu? He was chauvinistic and loyal. After acknowledging her as his godsister, he really only treated her as his younger sister and would not have any feelings for her.
At the same time, he had a bad temper. If someone questioned his decision, he would be unhappy!
Ye Tian had seen Shen Mingxiu and An Rui together.
She felt that An Rui doted on Shen Mingxiu too much.
When they were in high school, the two of them were in an ambiguous period. Shen Mingxiu was able to control An Rui completely, while Shen Mingxiu basically did everything An Rui asked for.
An Rui was the one who bowed down first when they had a conflict.
In a relationship, An Rui was at a disadvantage.
“You’ve known Shen Mingxiu for a long time and you know very well what kind of person he is. If you ask him to cut ties with that girl, he will definitely think that you created something out of nothing. The originally innocent relationship has made you misunderstand that it’s abnormal.”
“He’s a stubborn donkey. If you’re strong, he’s stronger than you! I’ll call him later and ask him to meet and talk to him!”
If it was in the past, An Rui would have agreed to Ye Tian’s suggestion to have a chat with Shen Mingxiu.
However, she had thought about many things in her free time recently.
When they were in high school, she liked Shen Mingxiu and they were not together. She saw that he had a filter and felt that he was good in everything.
But after they got together and returned to reality, their shortcomings were exposed.
An Rui was a person with a clear goal in her ideals and life. After entering the music school, there were too many outstanding people and she needed to work harder.
And Shen Mingxiu was clearly starting to relax again because of their absence.
She was at a disadvantage in their relationship and he thought that she could not leave him. Every time they argued, he would have the upper hand.
Once or twice, she could give in.
But when it came to principles, she did not want to hold back anymore!
“Even if this conflict is resolved, there will still be next time!”
An Rui covered her tear-streaked face with her hands, her heart aching terribly. “I don’t get along with him. We argue for a few days and after a long time, we both get tired.”
Ye Tian held An Rui’s hand and frowned. “If you let go like this, you might miss it for the rest of your life. Have you really thought it through?”
An Rui wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. “There’s something I haven’t told you. One night, he almost did that to me… If I hadn’t cried and made a ruckus, I might have lost my most precious thing…”
