Chapter 260 Says
"So, can you tell me now?"
In a cafe not far from the hot spring, Zhang Xu sat opposite Dong Yuan and asked casually.
At this time, Dong Yuan let down her hair, which she had always tied, and draped it behind her back. Her beret and sunglasses were lying quietly in the corner of the wooden table.
She sipped at the ice cream in front of her but didn't look at Zhang Xu.
"... "
Zhang Xu was silent.
"You promised to tell me."
Dong Yuan nodded.
"What do you want to know."
Dong Yuan's voice was very soft, not as out-of-the-box as usual with Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu paused.
"Why did you break up with me."
"This..."
Dong Yuan stirred the ice cream with a straw, and the ice cubes swayed and made a "clucking" sound.
"Why do you think that is?"
"...You don't like me anymore?"
Dong Yuan shook her head.
"I still like you very much."
This sentence blew through Zhang Xu's heart like a spring breeze, and his heart beat slowly and rapidly.
"Then this time you..."
A figure flashed past, stopping all Zhang Xu's joy. Kiryuin Aoi's tears fell on Zhang Xu's heart, causing his words to stop.
"...I'm not here to get back together with you this time."
Zhang Xu was stunned, and then the corners of his mouth were filled with bitterness.
...
The two of them were silent, Dong Yuan was still stirring the coffee, and the sound of ice cubes was still ringing in their ears.
"You haven't answered my question yet."
After a long silence, Zhang Xu spoke again.
Dong Yuan raised her head, her movement affected her hair, and her hair fell down to her chest.
"Because you are coming to Japan."
An unreasonable feeling poured into Zhang Xu's brain, and he slapped the table and his voice became louder.
"Because of this?!"
This move attracted a lot of attention. Dong Yuan looked at the other guests with apologetic eyes and then looked at Zhang Xu.
"Zhang Xu, sit down."
Zhang Xu felt a pain in his heart again. This was the first time Dong Yuan asked him so politely. It was like... as if he was troubling a stranger.
Zhang Xu endured his gaffe and sat down slowly, but the curious eyes of the people around him were still looking at the two of them.
"What are those words?"
"It seems to be Chinese Cantonese, spoken by Huang Jiaju."
"Little couple quarreling?"
"I think the woman may have cheated and the man discovered it, otherwise why would she be so angry..."
Those people's words were all heard by Zhang Xu. He looked at Dong Yuan and she should be able to hear them...
The expression on Dong Yuan's face did not change, as if she had never heard those people's words.
Zhang Xu has never felt that Dong Yuan is so strange. She has already scolded those people at him when she was with him.
"…You have changed a lot."
Zhang Xu held it in for a long time before saying this.
"I've always been like this, you just didn't notice."
Dong Yuan said.
Zhang Xu didn't take these words to heart and only regarded them as Dong Yuan's excuse for her change.
"Why did you break up with me when I came to Japan? Didn't you still support me and help me improve my Japanese?"
"...I don't want to come to Japan."
"It can be in a different place!"
"I can't stand being in a different place."
Zhang Xu looked at Dong Yuan and said in disbelief:
"Could it be that our five-year relationship can't even sustain a small long-distance relationship?"
Dong Yuan stopped stirring the coffee and took a deep breath.
Looking at Dong Yuan's appearance, Zhang Xu's heart suddenly seemed to be gripped by something.
"You can, but I can't."
Dong Yuan said.
"When you were in your second year of high school, you told me that you wanted to come to Japan to be a horse racing trainer and that this was your dream."
"You were very dazzling at that time. You kept striving for this dream. From the early 500s in the second year of high school to the 640s, I wanted to be with you so I enrolled in the same university as you."
"When I first started school in my freshman year, I was so close to you, and I gave you so many hints. I asked you to give me a massage, brought you food in the morning, and took the initiative to go out with you on weekends... You didn't understand any of it. In the end, it was me. It’s clear.”
When Zhang Xu heard this, the anger in his heart was extinguished a lot, and there was even a vague guilt in his eyes for not understanding Dong Yuan's initiative back then.
"You seemed surprised after that, but we still got together. I saw you holding a Japanese dictionary and reciting it every day, so I thought if your girlfriend could learn it faster with you, I would learn Japanese with you."
Dong Yuan smacked her lips.
"You've seen the results, it's very effective."
"Although the days when I was learning Japanese with you and doing my own computer science homework were very tiring, they were really fulfilling and happy."
"I will bring you lunch every day and find a small teahouse to learn Japanese... Remember that I always learn faster than you. I finish studying for tomorrow in advance and then put my earphones on your shoulders to watch dramas."
"I will rely on you to accompany me to watch Korean dramas. You are very impatient and think it doesn't look good, so I play games and watch anime with you. You will occasionally help me tie my hair. You said you like the look of my twin tails the best."
Dong Yuan rolled her bangs with her slender index finger as she spoke.
"Occasionally, I would force you to go to the West Lake to play when I had time. You slept with me the night I went there for the first time. I didn't expect you to be very proactive in this regard..."
Zhang Xu lowered his head, as if following Dong Yuan's words and remembering his time in college.
I still remember one night, because neither I nor Dong Yuan liked wearing condoms, so we went to buy birth control pills together.
I went to the drugstore and spent a long time shopping around but couldn't find it. I hesitated and was too embarrassed to ask the clerk for it. In the end, Dong Yuan went to ask for it.
Dong Yuan continued:
"You took me to meet my uncle and aunt in my sophomore year. My uncle and aunt were very fond of me and insisted that I be their daughter-in-law. They wouldn't recognize anyone else."
Dong Yuan showed a happy smile on her face
"My uncle and aunt did not dislike me for not having a father at all. They treated me as their own daughter. Let me tell you, when you complained to me that my monthly living expenses were only 2000, my uncle asked me if I was short of pocket money and transferred 4000 to me."
...
Dong Yuan put her hand under the table and kept touching her index fingers.
"My uncles and aunts are like my biological parents...My mother also said that they were good to me and that she had met a good family."
"I haven't stopped visiting my uncles and aunts since you came to Japan. Every time I go to your house, they are still so enthusiastic and beg me to get back together with you, saying they want to teach you a lesson for this disobedient boy."
Zhang Xu was silent. He knew that one of the reasons why his parents organized him to come to Japan was because of Dong Yuan.
Dong Yuan took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Xu.
"what happened?"
Dong Yuan smiled.
"I'm hesitant whether to tell you or not."
"You promised to tell me everything."
"Um…"
Dong Yuan's beautiful eyes blinked, and the faint water ripples disappeared in an instant.
"Third year, this is also the starting point of everything..."
"Your Japanese is basically at an introductory level, and you are starting to prepare for the trainer's certificate exam after graduation."
"It was also at this time that I officially began to think about what would happen to our relationship after you went to Japan."
"I originally thought this was a simple thing, I would just accompany you to Japan, but...the closer I get to graduation, the more scared I become."
