"Are you talking about yourself too?"
"Huh?" Nuo's eyes and jaw were wide opened "What? Of course not! Not at all. I'm not them, I'm different..." Her voice fades away with a silly smile.
The waiter placed the order on the table "Please... Enjoy your Steak and salad! Thank you." She walked away as soon as possible.
Both started to eat food. After having it, they went to the shopping mall.
"Buy whatever you want! I'll stay here."
Yang Nuo nodded "Sure!!"
She brought lavender sweaters and joggers, the same as Xiao Lei had brought with scandal and sneakers.
"Is that all?" Xiao Lei asked.
Yang Nuo smiled "Yeah! This is it."
Xiao Lei paid the bill and walked to the apartment with Mio.
On the way, Xiao Lei asked, "Why did you choose the same cloth which I had brought, though the size is small? You could have brought different clothes."
Yang Nuo gently hugged the plastic bag and grinned "Well... You went early in the morning, just to buy me this cloth... And you brought, Without even looking at the size, That means," her gaze fall on him "You like this, Right?"
"Not really!"
~Liar~ Yang Nuo smiled "Is that so? But still... I loved this. I'm going to preserve this cloth (The cloth which she is wearing) forever with me cause it's your like and I can't make it dirtier now, right? and..." She showed her bag which was bought just now "I'll wear this... Since it's mine, it doesn't matter what happens to it."
Xiao Lei put his hand on his pocket without saying a word or reacting to her word, but his eyes, it was in misery, as if her words were attacking hastily at his heart.
The elegant, soft, and delighted voice roam into his head, the voice which he could never get enough of, the voice which makes his heart at ease, the voice that can only make him and his heart peaceful.
~Xi... Ao... Lei...~
Xiao Lei saw the blurred image of her, who he has been longing to see, before his eye. He could only see her lips.
She was grinning ~This is your liking, that's why I'll always wear this... How do I lo...o...k...?~ Her voice fades away with her image before his eye as if she never was existed in this world.
Lei's expression didn't change as if he was already used to it. It was quiet.
"Xiao Lei?" Yang Nuo waved her hand in front of his face.
Xiao Lei glances at her "What is it?" His voice was calm as the sea.
"Oh! You weren't answering me so. Did something happen?"
"No."
"Ah... Okay!" Nuo's expression slightly changed. She was somehow sad by his reply but still, tried to keep a smile on her face "Well... Thank you very much for today. I'm glad, you're finally accepting me."
When Xiao Lei was about to say a word to Yang Nuo, he saw the news the Screen which was running at the side T.V shop.
It was about Yang Nuo, who was talking about Novel writer and Farmer.
Nuo's whole body was stiff at the moment. He clenched his fist trying to calm down.
Yang Nuo felt a chill over her body by cold aura around him. "Xiao... Lei...?"
Xiao Lei gazed at her with his cold eyes. Without saying a word, he walked away.
Yang Nuo followed him feeling anxious by his sudden change in behaviour ~Why is he acting this way? What happened —~ she realized his expression changed right after looking at her speech to the reporters and her fans on the screen ~Is it cause— What do I do now?~
When Yang Nuo reached the apartment, she saw before her eye, Xiao Lei sitting on the couch. The cold aura was surrounding him like, he was a devil ready to devour his foe.
"Xiao..." Yang Nuo couldn't utter the word "I..."
"Yang Nuo..." Lei's face was calm as sea and his voice was cold as ice "Do you even realise what did you say?"
Yang Nuo's body slightly trembles "I... I'm sorry..."
"Sorry?" Xiao Lei strode towards her "Why did you use the same word as her? Did you think, if you talk like her, if you use the same word like her, you'll be here and I'll accept you and fall for you? Were you trying to mock her?" His voice was cold, if listen deeply, the anger in his voice was boiling high.
She was walking back as he was striding towards her with a cold face until her back touched the wall.
She was scared by the looks on his face for her, for the first time. She had never thought he will ever look at her in this way.
She was feeling weak on her leg because of his cold pressure on her. She couldn't stand for long. She falls on her knee.
"Xiao Lei! Calm down! Let's talk about it. Okay? So... Please. Calm down."
Xiao Lei looked down at her with no emotion in his face but resentment in his eyes "I don't care what you did, you do or will do. That's none of my concern but if that includes her then, I won't stay quiet. Remember that! That's your last warning, or else don't think that I'll quietly stay back and watch you go on mocking her."
Yang Nuo bite her lower lips trying to calm down, clenched her fist, she mumbled "Always her! Always her!" She whined in tears "Why? Why always her? Why not me? What did I do to deserve this? Why can't you treat me gentle?" She sob "I thought, finally we got close now and you're accepting me. Even if it was just a little bit, I was very happy then why? Why always her? Why? Why don't you treat me better? Why do you always act cold towards me? Why it is always her?"
She let out her feeling in one breath which she had been putting deep inside her heart for so long.
No matter how many times she tried to wish in her heart, he would break it like it was nothing. He ruined the pieces of trust, hope, and expectation in her heart. It was as if she had not even existed in his life. She was too hurt.
