"I don't want to see you again. I really mean it. Your side of the story ends here. I don't want to hear about you again." Jianjun said to Miss Kang in anger.

Miss Kang looked at him with a sad and hurt expression. She then looked at Changyu with disdain before walking away.

It was a really bad Christmas for her. She had been anticipating this day with the hope that things would finally become better between herself and Jianjun. She had imagined them hanging out while holding hands. But who would have thought that the woman in his mind and heart was none other that Changyu?

"What was that about? You were just standing there like you were enjoying the show." Changyu complained in displeasure.

"I thought you weren't going to come" He said in a tone that was neither of annoyance or relief that she came.

"Something came up. Traffic was terrible also. But I'm here"

They both remained quiet for a while. No one knew what to say so they simply just stared at each other.

"You haven't answered my question" She reminded him. "What did she mean by you like me?"

He took in a deep breath before placing his hands inside his coat's large pocket. "Aren't we already too old for that? Let's go talk somewhere else." He said before walking past her.

While they both walked, Jianjun noticed she was a bit far behind him. No matter how he tried to walk slowly so she would catch up, she seemed to remain behind. All thanks to the crowd walking on the same path with them.

He stopped to wait for her to catch up and it didn't take long before she did.

"You're slow." He complained.

"You're fast" She shot back at him before walking past him with large strides.

He shook his head and continued walking.

Soon, they both got to a less crowded place. It was a field with some long wooden chairs at different corners.

The place was very spacious and had a couple of tall trees to shield people from the sun during the day. The street lights brightened the place so they could both see two other younger couples occupying two of the long wooden chairs.

On the day he left Changyu's house after Hani secretly called him, he had taken this route home when he was walking aimlessly. That was the first time he saw this place. He thought it was a nice place to think and so had sat down in one of the chairs for a long time to think before heading home.

It was the reason he had led her here now. Aside from the fact that it wasn't very far from the restaurant, it was also very comfortable.

He asked her to sit and then, he sat beside her.

After about two minutes of awkward silence, he broke the silence and asked for the first time "How have you been?"

Both of them had been looking at the front and not looking at each other. But after hearing his question, she turned to look at him.

It was the first time he was asking her this. Did he wake up at the wrong side of the bed? Was that why he had been nice to her all day and had even asked to speak with her?

"You said you didn't use and dump me... You said I hurt you. I need an explanation. You can forget about everything else and go straight to the point. I don't have all night" She said before turning her head to look at nothing particular in front of her.

Jianjun furrowed his brow in confusion. She needed an explanation?

"You want an explanation? What am I supposed to tell you? You should be the one explaining everything that happened. That's what I wanted to ask. What happened? Why did you do everything you did?"

Changyu scoffed in disbelief before standing up in anger. "Why did I do everything? What did I do? How could you treat me that way when you knew how much I loved you? Did you...even love me for one moment? Just one moment..? If you were never sincere with me, why did you lead me on? You should have rejected me from the onset. Then, I wouldn't be feeling this way now. My life wouldn't have been this miserable."

Jianjun tried to understand what she was saying but nothing was adding up. Her life was miserable? She looked perfect. She was the nation's number one!

Her saw her teary eyes and sighed. "Changyu sit. We are adults. We should act like one. I am not in the mood to argue with you tonight"

She shook her head and refused. "I don't want to. You are a terrible person!"

"Just sit." He tapped beside him, signalling for her to sit but she still refused.

"I really don't understand anything you are saying. That letter.... You clearly told me you didn't want to have anything to do with the Wangs anymore. Wasn't it you who started it all? Am I missing it somewhere?"

"Letter...?" Changyu thought for a while before she finally remembered what he was talking about.

"You finally remember." He said to her when he noticed how her look changed.

"I did send you a letter.. I remember." Changyu still tried to vaguely guess the contents of the letter she had sent him.

She remembered she had written one out of spite but she could not clearly remember the details of the letter since she had been mentally unstable at that time.

Jianjun stood up and looked her straight in the eyes "What did I do to you?" He asked in a calm but unsteady voice. "I thought you said you loved me. Why did you send that kind of letter to me? Why did you have to hurt me and my entire family that cared so much for you?"

Changyu sniffled a couple of times and felt tears begin to flow down her cheeks

"You were the one who told me you didn't like me. You said you liked Helene. You abandoned me first. What were you expecting? A letter of appreciation?" She began to hit his chest with her fist as she continued to accuse him. "I sent you a lot of letters and mails to explain how I was locked up like a criminal inside my own house. I sent you a lot of letters to tell you how much I missed you. But you didn't reply any. When I saw a mail notification from you, did you know how happy I was? But how could you send me that kind of mail? How could you break my heart like that? Did I really deserve that kind of treatment?" She stopped hitting him and plumped down on the chair. She didn't bother to look at him anymore as she cried her eyes out.

Jianjun looked at her in shock and confusion.

"I...don't understand.. What are you saying?" He stuttered.
