I am such an unfortunate fool.

I never in a million years expected that such a small misunderstanding would cause my relationship with Xie Yu to fall apart.

I cast a pleading look at Rong Si: 「Big brother, can I secretly tell Xie Yu that I went to get reinforcements?」

Rong Si: 「Sure, you can.」

I was overjoyed.

Rong Si: 「As long as you aren’t afraid that when the heavenly tribulation lightning strikes, it will strike your little lover down along with you.

「With your current state, you won’t be able to withstand that kind of heavenly lightning at all.」

Xie Yu’s voice grew faint: 「You should leave.」

For the first time, I felt as if tiny insects were crawling over my heart, gnawing at my flesh and blood, sucking away my soul.

I said blankly: 「But I came back…

「I still came back to find you…」

Before walking away, Xie Yu paused for a long moment.

In the end, still with his back to me, he said: 「But I’m not a dog that comes when called and leaves when waved away.」

「Ze Quan, what I care about is that when I needed you most, your choice wasn’t me.

「Go, Ze Quan.」

I was such an unfortunate fool.

I never in a million years expected that such a small misunderstanding would cause my relationship with Xie Yu to fall apart completely.

I cast a pleading look at Rong Si. “Big brother, can I secretly tell Xie Yu that I went to get help?”

Rong Si replied, “Sure, you can.”

I was overjoyed.

Rong Si added, “As long as you aren’t afraid that when the heavenly tribulation lightning strikes, it will blast your little lover to pieces along with you.

“With how you are now, you wouldn’t survive that kind of lightning at all.”

Xie Yu’s voice grew faint. “You should leave.”

For the first time, I felt a sensation in my heart like tiny insects crawling, as if they were gnawing at my flesh and devouring my soul.

Lost, I murmured, “But I came back…

“I still came back to find you…”

Before walking away, Xie Yu paused for a long moment.

In the end, with his back still turned to me, he said, “But I’m not a dog you can summon at your beck and call.”

“Ze Quan, what hurts me is that when I needed you most, I wasn’t your choice.

“Go, Ze Quan.”

I really am a fool.

I never imagined that such a small misunderstanding would cause the relationship between Xie Yu and me to fall apart.

I cast a pleading look at Rong Si: “Big brother, can I quietly tell Xie Yu that I went to fetch reinforcements?”

Rong Si replied, “Hmm, sure, you can.”

I was overjoyed.

Rong Si added, “As long as you aren’t afraid that when the heavenly lightning strikes, it’ll strike your little lover too.

“In your current state, you wouldn’t be able to withstand that kind of heavenly lightning.”

Xie Yu’s voice faded. “Go.”

For the first time, I felt a sensation in my heart like tiny insects crawling, gnawing at my flesh and devouring my soul.

I said blankly, “But I’m back now…

“I still came back to find you…”

Before walking away, Xie Yu paused for a long time.

In the end, he still kept his back to me and said, “But I’m not a dog, to be called when you want and shooed away when you don’t.”

“Ze Quan, what I mind is that when I needed you most, you didn’t choose me.

“Go, Ze Quan.”
