"Why are you doing this?"

Qin Zhouyu unconsciously hid his hands behind his back. "I don't know."

Seeing that he was blatantly lying, Liang Qing felt a surge of anger rising within her, and her words carried a hint of accusation: "You clearly knew, so why didn't you tell me?"

Qin Zhouyu said calmly, "It's not important, please sit down first."

After saying that, he was about to walk over and help her up, but as he got closer to Liang Qing, he heard her whisper, "Liar."

Qin Zhouyu thought he had misheard and asked to confirm, "What?"

As Liang Qing watched his figure gradually approach, she felt increasingly uneasy.

Xu Xi's words and Qin Zhouyu's actions both annoyed and irritated her.

Qin Zhouyu reached out to help her, but she dodged him, her anger suddenly erupting, "Qin Zhouyu, you liar!"

"Didn't you say we were over? Didn't you say you'd never care about me again?"

"Why did you care about me? Why did you carry me down the mountain? Why did you reopen your wounds to help me down the mountain? Why..."

Why do you have to bother me like this?

Why make me hesitate?

Why do you want to disturb my peace of mind?

After saying all that in one breath, Liang Qing was exhausted and had to squat down.

A sudden outburst of emotion is like a can of ice-cold soda that's been violently shaken. Once the can is opened and the bubbles have all spilled out, all that's left is stagnant water devoid of life.

After the anger subsides, hatred follows.

She hated Qin Zhouyu for repeatedly going back on his word, and she hated herself for caring so much about Qin Zhouyu.

As I thought about it, my eyes suddenly stung, and tears involuntarily fell to the ground.

Liang Qing's series of questions were like a series of pearls, making Qin Zhouyu dizzy and at a loss for what to do.

Seeing Liang Qing's silent tears rolling down her cheeks, he panicked instantly. Without thinking, he knelt down in front of her and said anxiously, "I was wrong, please don't cry."

Liang Qing turned her face away and ignored him.

"Don't cry," Qin Zhouyu recalled Liang Qing's words, trying to figure out why she was angry. "I shouldn't have lied to you, but I just didn't want you to worry. I really don't hurt."

Seeing that Liang Qing still ignored him, he said repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, please don't cry, okay? I'll never lie to you again..."

His humble attitude and complete acceptance of her temper only made Liang Qing's tears fall even more heavily.

"You're a lunatic," Liang Qing cursed. "I used you as a target, throwing balls at you again and again. I tortured you, I ruined you like this, why do you still care about me?"

Qin Zhouyu's expression stiffened for a moment, clearly recalling the past, but he quickly comforted Liang Qing, saying, "I hit you with the ball too, so we're even."

Liang Qing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and stared at Qin Zhouyu, asking, "Did I force you to do this?"

Looking into her red and swollen eyes, Qin Zhouyu felt a pang of sadness and gradually lowered his head.

"Is that right?" Liang Qing pressed.

Qin Zhouyu responded softly, "Yes."

But he immediately added, "But I did do it, so it's not your fault."

Liang Qing deliberately reminded him of her shameful behavior, but Qin Zhouyu defended her with every word he uttered.

This made Liang Qing increasingly swayed by her emotions. She grabbed Qin Zhouyu by the collar and pulled him up from the ground, angrily demanding, "Answer me, why are you interfering with my life?"

Seeing that she was determined to get the answer, Qin Zhouyu had no choice but to tell the truth: "I cannot break my promise."

promise?

Liang Qing recalled for a moment before finally finding out what Qin Zhouyu's promise was.

That damn promise!

Her grip on Qin Zhouyu's collar tightened, ruthlessly revealing the truth she had witnessed: "I lied to you! All that talk about your pain being my pain, about sharing our suffering, it was all fake, all a lie! You big idiot!"

These words clearly stung Qin Zhouyu, and his already pale face turned even more ashen.

Liang Qing pushed him away and took two steps to return to the stool. However, she accidentally aggravated her wound and almost fell because of her unsteady steps. Qin Zhouyu stepped forward again to support her.

Liang Qing hadn't expected that even after she had said all that, Qin Zhouyu would still be willing to help her like this.

She blushed with embarrassment and tried to pull her hand away, but Qin Zhouyu wouldn't let go.

When Liang Qing got impatient, she threw a punch and yelled, "Get out of my way!"

Liang used all his strength in that punch, and although Qin Zhouyu groaned, he still didn't let go.

He wouldn't let go, so Liang Qing kept hitting him. Even when Liang Qing was exhausted from hitting him, he still supported her without saying a word.

Once Liang Qing stopped, he picked her up and placed her on the bench so she could sit down.

He sat down next to Liang Qing, his voice a little hoarse, "Have you calmed down?"

Liang Qing was indeed angry with him, but she was actually most angry with herself.

After thinking it over, she simply said, "I'm tired."

Upon hearing her answer, Qin Zhouyu suddenly laughed for some reason, and Liang Qing heard his laughter and immediately turned around to look.

He turned to look at her, his eyes smiling, as if lost in some beautiful memory. "You look like this, it makes me feel like I'm back in the days after our first argument."

Liang Qing scoffed, "Do you miss it?"

“Hmm,” Qin Zhouyu not only ignored her sarcasm, but also seriously admitted, “Although there were sad times, I could feel that you only had me in your heart at those times.”

These words, like a soft feather, gently entered Liang Qing's ear, tickling her heart along her veins, stirring up indescribable emotions within her.

Perhaps it was Qin Zhouyu's attitude that gradually calmed her down, and now she was able to chat with him normally, following his lead, "Do you want to go back to that time?"

Qin Zhouyu looked at her carefully for a while after hearing this. Seeing that she was really just asking him without any ulterior motive, he thought about it seriously for a while and answered literally: "If I had the chance to go back in time, I would choose the days before we quarreled."

"Is it because I've been tormenting you ever since then?" Her expression was calm, but there was a hint of evasion in her eyes.

“No,” Qin Zhouyu denied, “it’s because you said that was the happiest period of your life so far.”

He added, "It's the same for me."

I thought you hated me.

Liang Qing always knew that Qin Zhouyu still had feelings for her, but she also felt that he hated her.

The ball that hit her on the basketball court, the incident where she was almost strangled during PE class.

She thought he hated her.

To everyone's surprise, Qin Zhouyu's expression turned incredulous. He stared blankly at Liang Qing for a moment, then turned to self-mockery, "You really were just playing me. You've had your fun, and you've even forgotten what you said to me."

Liang Qing's head began to throb, a peculiar pain that reminded her of the restriction, so she had to suppress her desire to investigate the past.
