After speaking, Xirong Ziye began to feel anxious. He was afraid that Yaoyao would reject him or feel disgusted by him.

Bai Yaoyao laughed quietly as she mocked herself. She never imagined that she would see Xirong Ziye again.

She also never imagined that he would be looking for her. Moreover, she definitely never imagined that this would be how they would be meeting again.

Knowing that he had seen the most fragile side of her, Bai Yaoyao felt rather upset. Her expression was indifferent, as though she had suppressed all her emotions. She hadn't shown any expressions on her face despite Xirong Ziye's sudden appearance.

As Xirong Ziye looked at Bai Yaoyao, he felt flustered. He would feel better if she would just show a little reaction, even if she were to scold him.

After a while, Xirong Ziye still hadn't heard a response from Bai Yaoyao. His heart skipped a beat, and he called softly, "Yaoyao?"

Bai Yaoyao looked at how cautious Xirong Ziye was. He was completely different from the past dominant and distant person she used to know.

He used to be so unconcerned, but now, his attitude had completely changed.

If Xirong Ziye could have been like this in the past, she would be exceptionally touched. However, she had already been too hurt, and she had slowly forgotten everything.

Now, showing up so suddenly, he stirred up the feelings within her again.

Even though her heart was moved, Bai Yaoyao still tried her best to remain calm. She answered quietly, "Xirong Ziye, long time no see." As she spoke, she still smiled indifferently, as though she was speaking to a stranger that she used to be close to.

Bai Yaoyao didn't know that her reactions were piercing through Xirong Ziye's heart like a knife.

His body swayed, and his eyes watered. "Yaoyao, I've been looking for you. I've finally found you after such a long time."

Bai Yaoyao's heart ached and tensed up too. She had finally calmed down. Why did he have to appear to disrupt her peaceful heart once again?

Sighing, Bai Yaoyao said, "Xirong Ziye, you abandoned me, right? Why are you looking for me again? I'm living a great life now. You'll only disrupt my life."

Bai Yaoyao's words were very calm, yet they hurt Xirong Ziye.

Xirong Ziye's head rang, and his stomach began to ache too. He wanted to reach out to embrace Bai Yaoyao, but he was afraid that she would reject him.

"Yaoyao, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know how I truly felt back then. Sorry…" Xirong Ziye apologized repeatedly. It was as though he didn't know what else to say, besides saying that he was sorry.

Bai Yaoyao looked disappointed. She sighed before saying coldly, "Xirong Ziye, you don't have to be sorry. I don't hate you. I've slowly forgotten everything."

Despite her words, she still felt like crying, seeing how miserable Xirong Ziye looked.

He was someone that she used to love. She also wanted the best for him too. But why did he have to look for her again?

His actions would only cause more harm to the two of them.

Xirong Ziye couldn't stop himself anymore. He walked forward and grabbed Bai Yaoyao's shoulders. "Yaoyao, I do love you. I just didn't understand how I felt. I've neglected your feelings. I'm sorry. Please don't talk to me like that. I can't take it."

Bai Yaoyao could feel the strength and warmth from Xirong Ziye's hands. Hearing the pain in his voice, her heart shuddered too. Her tears were threatening to fall from her eyes at any time.

"Xirong Ziye, it wasn't that you couldn't understand your feelings. You had been stepping all over mine in the past, treating my love as though it was your right."
