"I'm done."
Mu Ning Jing's unique soft voice rang out beside his ear. Shen Tingxi turned his head and realized that Mu Ning Jing had already washed the dishes and put them away while he was in a daze. Thinking of what he was going to say next, Shen Tingxi took two deep puffs of his cigarette, then turned around to turn on the tap to put out the cigarette in his hand.
However, her fair and clean hand was one step ahead of him and turned on the tap.
Shen Tingxi's deep gaze looked towards Mu Ning Jing. She looked at him and curved the corners of her lips slightly. The dimples at the corners of her mouth were pure and charming.
Her smile was so clear that it seemed to stab Shen Tingxi's eyes. He hurriedly averted his gaze, put out the cigarette, and threw it into the trash can beside him. He continued to lean against the counter in his original position. "The dishes tonight were delicious."
Being praised by the person she loved, Mu Ning Jing's smile became even brighter. She also turned around and leaned against the counter like Shen Tingxi. She replied softly, "I'm glad you like it."
A trace of pain flashed across Shen Tingxi's deep eyes. The hands in his trouser pockets unconsciously clenched a little. "Ningning, let's … break up?"
"Hmm?" Mu Ning Jing turned to look at Shen Tingxi. It seemed that she hadn't changed the topic from the previous one. She also seemed to think that there was something wrong with her ears. However, her disorderly heartbeat and panicked gaze showed that she had heard him clearly.
Shen Tingxi turned to look at Mu Ning Jing. It was a quick glance, and there was a trace of a self-deprecating smile in the corners of his eyes. "You've been rejecting me. Not only have I been pestering you, but I've also used force on you. You must be very tired of it, right?"
Shen Tingxi lowered his head to look at the tips of his shoes, then raised his eyes to look straight ahead. The self-deprecating smile on the corners of his mouth deepened. "I'll fulfill your wish and also let myself off. Let's break up."
Shen Tingxi didn't see that when he said, "You must be very tired of it, right?", Mu Ning Jing shook her head, and tears flowed out of her eyes.
When he said, "I'll fulfill your wish and also let myself off," Mu Ning Jing's tears gushed out like a fountain.
The words that Shu Xin had once said instantly surfaced in her mind.
She said, "He might not be tired now, so he can still chase after you. What if one day he's exhausted and decides to let you go? Won't you regret it?"
So he wanted to let her go now? No!
She didn't want him to let go.
Mu Ningjing turned around and wanted to hold Shen Tingxi's hand, but his cold and sharp side profile made her timid. Her fingers curled up before she finally tugged on his sleeve and gently tugged. "Can we … not break up?"
Her voice was soft, and she sounded like she was about to cry.
Shen Tingxi turned his head and realized that Mu Ning Jing was crying. Her tear-stained face was like a needle piercing his heart. His cold face softened a little. "Why are you crying?"
Mu Ning Jing pinched his sleeve and tugged at it gently. She looked at him with teary eyes and carefully repeated, "Can we not break up?"
Shen Tingxi resisted the urge to pull Mu Ning Jing into his arms and asked softly, "I hurt you twice in a row. Don't you hate me?"
Mu Ning Jing cried and shook her head. Her slender fingers slowly climbed up his arm from his shirt. She looked cautious, as if she was afraid that Shen Tingxi would notice her movements and brush her hand away. "It's all my fault. It's all my fault … I'll change. Give me some time … Don't leave me behind."
Shen Tingxi's deep eyes were filled with emotions. Her actions showed that she still cared about him, right? But when he thought of how she had rejected his proposal three times and left with another man without saying a word, the joy in Shen Tingxi's heart instantly died down. "Ningning, do you have me in your heart?"
Mu Ning Jing quickly nodded. She tightened her grip on Shen Tingxi's hand. She summoned her courage and walked closer to him. She took the initiative to hug his narrow waist and leaned into his arms. "Yes, except for you, it's still you."
Was Ningning confessing to him?
Shen Tingxi's heart was filled with ecstasy. He raised his hand to hug the girl in his arms, but halfway through, he remembered what had happened with Yu Anna in the morning. He paused and slowly clenched his fist until his knuckles turned white. Then he lowered his hand. "Ningning, it's not that you're not good enough. It's that I'm not good enough for you."
Mu Ning Jing shook her head in Shen Tingxi's arms and hugged him tighter.
Shen Tingxi leaned against the countertop and didn't move. He let Mu Ning Jing hug him for a while before he said, "I slept with Yu Anna."
Mu Ning Jing's body suddenly stiffened. Her mind seemed to have been blown by the words "slept with". After a while, she came back to her senses. She got up from Shen Tingxi's arms and looked at him in a daze.
Shen Tingxi didn't look at Mu Ning Jing. His lips curled into an unruly smile. "I'm not a good man. It's normal for me to sleep with a woman. Do you still want me like this?"
Tears kept falling from the corners of Mu Ning Jing's eyes. She didn't know why. Was it because Shen Tingxi was with another woman? Or was it because he insisted on breaking up with her? Or was it because he hated her for not being with him earlier?
Mu Ning Jing's heart was in a mess. She couldn't sort out her emotions. She only knew that her heart was in pain, as if it was being torn apart. She covered her chest and slowly squatted down, crying out loud.
Shen Tingxi looked down and only saw Mu Ning Jing's black hair and trembling shoulders. He stood for a while and then walked out of the kitchen.
Mu Ning Jing heard the sound of the door closing. Only then did she realize that Shen Tingxi had left. He didn't want her anymore. He had really given up on her. Mu Ning Jing's face was pale. Her eyes were empty and lifeless. Only her tears were like a flood, overflowing like a disaster.
She was stunned for a while. Suddenly, she rushed out of the kitchen like a madwoman. She ran to the door and saw that Shen Tingxi's car had already driven out of the villa. She hurriedly chased after it.
In the night, she looked at the dim red taillights with tears in her eyes and chased after it desperately.
Shen Tingxi controlled the steering wheel with one hand and put his elbow on the lowered window. In his mind, he was still thinking about Mu Ning Jing's words. He reached out for a cigarette and was about to light it when he saw a familiar figure in the rearview mirror.
Shen Tingxi's pupils suddenly shrank. The cigarette in his hand fell down and he stepped on the brake.
He braked suddenly. The tires rubbed against the ground and made a sharp screeching sound.
Shen Tingxi got out of the car and saw Mu Ning Jing running towards him with tears streaming down her face. One of her slippers had fallen off and she was running barefoot on the road.
He ran over with his long legs and held her shoulders. "Ningning …"
Mu Ning Jing threw herself into Shen Tingxi's arms and hugged him tightly. She cried and said, "Don't leave me … I beg you, don't leave me …"
Shen Tingxi couldn't think of anything else at this time. His heart and eyes were full of Mu Ning Jing's words that made his heart ache and the image of her running after him barefoot with tears streaming down her face. He hugged the girl who was crying and trembling in his arms tightly. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. He whispered in her ear, "I won't leave you. Not even a step away."
