Chapter 110 Quarrel
Chapter 110 Quarrel
"Why is it you?!" Chu Mengmeng looked at the person in front of her in astonishment, her tone full of disbelief. The person standing in front of her was none other than the mysterious man she had met on the chaotic street that night - Xiao Yichen!
"You..." Chu Mengmeng was overwhelmed with emotions for a moment. She never thought that the person who came to her aid at her most critical moment would be Xiao Yichen, with whom she had a huge misunderstanding.
Xiao Yichen didn't say anything, but just looked at her quietly, with complex emotions surging in his deep eyes.
After returning to the city, the first thing Chu Mengmeng did was to find Xiao Yichen and ask him why he concealed his identity and secretly followed her.
"Following? Chu Mengmeng, you think too highly of yourself!" Xiao Yichen shot back coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "I'm just worried about you, afraid that you'll cause trouble again!"
"Are you afraid that I will cause trouble? Then why didn't you just tell me? Why did you follow me secretly?!" Chu Mengmeng also began to get excited, and her voice unconsciously rose.
"Will you listen to me if I tell you? Will you stay in the city obediently and wait for me to find out the truth?" Xiao Yichen asked back, with a hint of helplessness and fatigue in his tone.
"You..." Chu Mengmeng was speechless for a moment. She knew that Xiao Yichen was telling the truth. With her impulsive personality, if she knew the truth, she would definitely investigate it at all costs, which would only make it more dangerous.
"Mengmeng, Yichen is also worried about you, so don't be angry." Seeing this, Lin Wan'er hurried forward to persuade him.
"Yes, Mengmeng, Yichen..." Su Mubai also wanted to explain for his friend, but was stopped by Xiao Yichen's eyes.
"Enough!" Xiao Yichen stood up suddenly and interrupted Su Mubai, "I don't need to explain anything to anyone!"
"Xiao Yichen! Do you have a heart or not? Do you know how I have been through this period of time?" Chu Mengmeng's eyes were red, and her tone was full of grievance and disappointment.
"I..." Xiao Yichen opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. How could he not know what Chu Mengmeng had been through during this period? He witnessed the danger she encountered with his own eyes, and personally pulled her back from the brink of death. However, he couldn't tell her the truth, at least not yet.
"You don't have to say anything!" Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions that were about to burst. "We all need to calm down."
After saying that, Chu Mengmeng turned and left, leaving Xiao Yichen alone standing there, looking at her back with a complicated and painful look in his eyes.
Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er looked at each other, neither of them dared to touch Xiao Yichen's bad luck at this time. This quarrel was like an invisible sharp blade, deeply hurting each other's hearts. They all knew that the misunderstanding between Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen had reached the point where it had to be resolved, otherwise, perhaps only a more painful ending was waiting for them...
"We all need to calm down." Chu Mengmeng said this and left without looking back. Xiao Yichen was left standing there alone, looking at her resolute back, feeling mixed emotions.
Chu Mengmeng ran all the way, tears blurred her eyes, she couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain on her face. She didn't know how long she had been running, nor where she was, she only knew that the pent-up energy in her heart needed to be vented, the heart-wrenching pain needed to be released.
Back in the room, Chu Mengmeng threw herself heavily on the bed, tears finally bursting out, her cry was mixed with grievance, anger, disappointment, and a trace of fear that she herself did not even notice. Fear of loss, fear that this relationship would burst like a bubble in the wind and rain.
"let's break up."
Chu Mengmeng thought of the shocked, hurt and unbelievable expression on Xiao Yichen's face when she said this. Her heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it hurt so much that she could hardly breathe.
She admitted that she was angry when she said that. She thought Xiao Yichen would coax her, pamper her, hold her tightly in his arms, and tell her how much he loved her and that everything he did was for her own good.
But, he didn't.
He just looked at her coldly, his tone as cold as a sharp blade, piercing straight into her heart.
"as you wish."
These four short words were so heavy that Chu Mengmeng couldn't breathe.
The room was silent, with only Chu Mengmeng's suppressed sobbing echoing in the air. She began to regret her impulsiveness and regretted saying those hurtful words. However, words spoken are like spilled water, how can you take them back?
Chu Mengmeng buried her face in the pillow, her tears soaked the pillowcase and her broken heart.
On the other side, after Chu Mengmeng left, Xiao Yichen came to the rooftop alone. The night breeze could not blow away the haze in his heart, but made him more irritable.
Chu Mengmeng's words were like a heavy hammer, shattering his persistence and disguise. He thought that as long as he guarded silently, one day, Chu Mengmeng would understand his painstaking efforts.
However, he was wrong.
He overestimated his position in Chu Mengmeng's heart and underestimated the misunderstandings and conflicts between them.
"separate……"
Xiao Yichen murmured to himself, these two words were like a red-hot iron, leaving a deep mark in his heart, excruciating pain.
He stayed awake all night, trying to find a solution to the problem, but the pain in his heart made it impossible for him to concentrate. He didn't know how to explain all this to Chu Mengmeng, let alone how to save this precarious relationship.
Outside the window, the night is deep and the dawn seems to be far away...
Chapter 110: Endless quarrels, heartaches that are difficult to heal
Outside the window, the night gradually faded away, and the first rays of dawn illuminated the entire city. However, Xiao Yichen still had no sleep. He had not slept all night, his eyes were bloodshot, and his former spirit disappeared, replaced by deep fatigue and worry.
The word "break up" lingered in his mind like a curse, torturing his heart over and over again. He tried to sort out the confusion between himself and Chu Mengmeng, but found that everything was in vain. He cared about her so much that he chose to conceal and deceive her in many things, thinking that this would protect her, but he didn't expect that it would push her further away in the end.
"Yichen, what's wrong with you?" Su Mubai pushed open the door to the rooftop and saw Xiao Yichen's lonely back, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Xiao Yichen came back to his senses and forced a bitter smile: "Nothing, I just didn't sleep well."
Su Mubai naturally didn't believe it. He walked over to Xiao Yichen, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Did something happen between you and Mengmeng? I saw that she didn't look very well this morning."
Xiao Yichen was silent. He didn't know how to explain all this to Su Mubai. Should he tell him that the woman he loved broke up with him because he had hidden too many secrets?
"Oh, forget it. I can't interfere too much in the affairs of you young people." Su Mubai sighed and changed the subject. "But I have to tell you one thing. We have found a new enemy. His ability is very special. He seems to be able to control people's minds and create illusions."
New enemy? Xiao Yichen's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells. He felt that this new enemy might be related to the misunderstanding between him and Chu Mengmeng.
Sure enough, Su Mubai's next words confirmed his guess: "According to our investigation, this new enemy seems to know the relationship between you two very well. He is likely to take advantage of the misunderstanding between you, sow discord between you, or even..."
Su Mubai didn't say anything more, but Xiao Yichen already understood what he meant. If this new enemy could really manipulate people's hearts, then the misunderstanding between him and Chu Mengmeng would undoubtedly become a breakthrough for the other party to attack.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yichen felt filled with uneasiness. He had to find Chu Mengmeng as soon as possible and explain everything to her.
On the other side, Chu Mengmeng suppressed her grief and followed Lin Wan'er to the headquarters of the city guardian. Although she tried to stay calm, her red and swollen eyes and pale face betrayed her true emotions.
"Mengmeng, are you okay?" Lin Wan'er asked worriedly. She knew that something must have happened between Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, but she did not ask any questions. She just stayed by her side silently.
Chu Mengmeng shook her head and forced a smile: "I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well last night."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Lin Wan'er comforted. Although she didn't know what happened exactly, she believed that the relationship between Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen would not be easily defeated.
At this time, Su Mubai came over and said to the two of them with a serious look: "We have discovered a new enemy. The situation is very urgent. You need to go and deal with it immediately."
Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were both stunned when they heard the news. They subconsciously looked at each other, their eyes met, but then quickly looked away.
When facing a common enemy, they had to temporarily put aside their personal grudges, but the rift between them was like an insurmountable chasm that stretched between the two of them, making their hearts drift further and further apart...
When they set out, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen kept their distance, and the silence between them made the atmosphere even more awkward. They both knew that some things had to be resolved, but now, they didn't have the courage to face it.
And the new enemy lurking in the dark was staring at them eagerly, waiting for the best opportunity to strike them a fatal blow...
