"Shi Yao, there are some things, just like this bottle of mineral water on the ground. Once it shatters and the water spills, it's impossible for it to return to its original state. There are some things, just like this jacket in my hand. Even if it's torn, it'll still be able to be worn after some mending."
It was only after she returned to her dormitory room that she finally understood the meaning behind his words.
She had replied to his message, and when she realized that she had guessed correctly, he was indeed trying to coax her, and for an instant, she felt very touched and warm.
Back then, she had even mocked him. If she remembered correctly, she had sent him a very long message, saying that his way of coaxing others was a little coquettish on the inside. She even said that he would never be able to return to his original state once the glass bottle shattered and the water spilled. In the end, she even told him gleefully that it was fortunate that she was smart. If it had been anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to figure out what he was doing.
Back then, she truly thought that she had understood the meaning behind his words. Later on, when he asked her if there was anything else she wanted to say, her heart ached for the water, and she spouted a bunch of nonsense, saying that 24 RMB of water could buy you a lot of delicious food … Eventually, he replied with a 'It's getting late, you should go to bed', and that ended the conversation that night.
It wasn't until today that she finally realized that the reason why he had questioned her that night was because she had only understood the first half of what he had said. She hadn't understood the second half of what he had said.
The first half of his sentence, 'smashing the bottle of mineral water', was referring to Liang Mumu, and the second half, 'even if the clothes were to be torn, they could still be worn after some mending', was referring to himself … So, from that moment on, Lin Jiage had already been regretting, feeling guilty, and vexed over the vicious words he had said to Liang Mumu?
An indescribable warmth suddenly crept into Shi Yao's heart.
Paying no heed to Liang Mumu's words, Shi Yao suddenly spoke up softly, "Indeed … There are some people who can never return to the past, but there are some people who can start from the beginning again …"
Shi Yao's voice was a little soft, so Liang Mumu didn't hear her clearly. Thus, the words at the tip of her tongue stopped and she asked, "Yaoyao, what did you say?"
Immersed in her own thoughts, Shi Yao ignored her.
Liang Mumu spoke once more, "Yaoyao?"
Even though she had no idea what Liang Mumu had just said to her, she could roughly guess what it was. She stared into Liang Mumu's eyes and replied nonchalantly, "I said, he can go back, but you can't …"
Liang Mumu frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Yaoyao, do you mean that you still won't forgive me?"
"It's alright, I'm willing to wait …"
This time, Shi Yao didn't allow Liang Mumu to continue rambling on, so she interjected, "You can wait if you want. It has nothing to do with me anyway."
Shi Yao's calmness and decisiveness seemed to have shocked Liang Mumu.
She was stunned for a moment, then she moved her lips with tears: "Yao Yao, you really don't care about me? Yao Yao, we used to be so good … "
"Once upon a time?" A mocking smile crept onto Shi Yao's lips. "As you know, that was once upon a time …"
"Liang Mumu, do you know why I agreed to talk to you? That's because I want to end things today. "
