Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 365: Someone Else’s Love Story

Luo Xinyan looked at Ji Weitian’s eyes flickering slightly, a wistful gleam swept across the depths of her gaze, soon after, the corners of her mouth drew a bitter smile.

"What else can I do if I don’t leave? I am powerless to do anything, staying will only make me feel awkward."

As Luo Xinyan said this, tears welled up in her eyes, and suddenly she extended her hand to grab Ji Weitian’s arm.

Full of apologies, she began,

"Weitian, back then I suffered such humiliation and acted impulsively; I left without looking back, without telling you, hoping you would not blame me."

"..."

Ji Weitian felt a dryness in her throat and was at a loss for words.

In her mind flashed the love stories Luo Xinyan once told her.

Her romance with Qin Nanyu.

A young and beautiful junior from the Computer Science Department fell in love with a talented senior at first sight.

Qin Nanyu was too outstanding; at Jiangcheng University, whatever he did attracted everyone’s attention.

Being his girlfriend meant living under a microscope and enduring people’s scrutiny.

Luo Xinyan said that Qin Nanyu had kept their relationship a secret to protect her and chose an underground romance.

Qin Nanyu loved her deeply, to live and die together, as the vow goes.

Ji Weitian could imagine the most romantic things a couple could do, and they had done them all.

When Luo Xinyan spoke about her interactions with Qin Nanyu, her vivid depiction made Ji Weitian feel as though she could see how much Qin Nanyu cherished his girlfriend.

Logically, they should have continued dating happily, awaiting graduation to marry openly.

But suddenly, Jiangcheng University had an exchange student spot available, and Qin Nanyu was the top choice.

Luo Xinyan’s academic performance was far below Ji Weitian’s at the time. Moreover, upgrading her application amid fierce competition seemed nearly impossible.

"I do love him, but I couldn’t not break up with him. Qin Nanyu would have to give up going abroad as an exchange student for my sake; I couldn’t bear to see him sacrifice for me... I was thinking of his best interest, I didn’t know he would care so much, to assume that I had never loved him..."

At that moment, Luo Xinyan collapsed into Ji Weitian’s arms, gripping her arm repeatedly and asking her,

"Weitian, do you think Qin Nanyu will reject me because of this?"

"Will he still love me? Would he want to start over with me?"

How did she comfort Luo Xinyan then?

Ji Weitian couldn’t quite remember.

She had just firmly believed that the Qin Nanyu she knew was not irresponsible.

People who have loved wholeheartedly, how could they stop loving abruptly? Moreover, they were the closest companions, bound by an unbreakable bond.

But what happened later was entirely beyond her expectations...

Ji Weitian’s eyes flickered again, pulling herself from her memories, and looked at Luo Xinyan sitting before her, pressing her lips together: "I don’t blame you. It’s just that you suddenly disappeared, and I was worried something had happened to you. I searched for you a long time... How have you been these past few years?"

"Not good."

The bitterness in Luo Xinyan’s eyes grew more distinct.

It was as if she finally found a place to vent her sorrows, her hands both clutching Ji Weitian’s arm.

Before she could speak, tears started to fall.

"I left school and went abroad before graduating; although my family pulled some strings to let me continue my studies overseas, I found I couldn’t forget Qin Nanyu. I was insomniac every day; when I finally fell asleep, I would wake up startled from my dreams... I don’t know how I survived the first two years."
