Push Me Away When I Come, Don't Hold Me Back When I Leave - Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Oh No, Seems Like I Sang the Wrong Song

***

“Not… not anymore. Aren’t you the same? You don’t look like a student at all. If I were your age, I would have gone wild with them,” Xiao Qinghan said dreamily with intoxicated eyes.

“They’re too immature. They should be a bit more mature, like me.” Xia Ruoming also opened a can of draft beer and raised the tin can towards Xiao Qinghan.

“Let’s… let’s talk about the exam. How… how do you think you did, Ruoming?” Xiao Qinghan clinked her beer can and said softly.

“Didn’t Teacher Xiao say you’d treat me at the Crowne Plaza after I become the top scorer? I thought you already knew, Sister Qinghan.” Xia Ruoming chuckled, seemingly teasing Xiao Qinghan.

“This… this isn’t for you, it’s for myself… I’ve resigned. People eventually need to say goodbye to their past selves… so, how did you really do on the exam?”

“A bit better than expected.”

Although Xiao Qinghan was no longer a teacher, she was genuinely happy for Xia Ruoming.

Already at a 700-point level, and still better than expected, what did that mean?

“Good… truly worthy of being my student, you’ve made your Sister Qinghan proud, serves that backdoor-using director right.” During their previous date, Xia Ruoming knew Xiao Qinghan couldn’t handle alcohol well. This time Xiao Qinghan had drunk more than last time, and she had started speaking drunkenly.

“Ruo… Ruoming, I’ve resigned. You said you’d pull me out of the mud, you can’t go back on your word…”

Now Xiao Qinghan had completely collapsed onto Xia Ruoming’s body, still mumbling incoherently.

“Don’t worry, Sister Qinghan. I, Xia Ruoming, never go back on my word.”

“Good… good…” Saying this, Xiao Qinghan hazily kissed Xia Ruoming before falling asleep leaning against her.

After confirming no one saw Xiao Qinghan stealing a kiss, Xia Ruoming hugged her and gently laid her on the sofa, then asked the hotel for a disposable eye mask.

When Xia Ruoming returned to the hall, she was immediately surrounded by many girls.

“Sister Ruoming! Sing! We’ve all sung, just waiting for you!” Saying this, a girl handed over the microphone provided by the hotel.

“I don’t sing well, do you really want to hear?”

“Sing! Sing!” Everyone around started chanting together.

“Alright then.” Xia Ruoming smiled and cleared her throat. “Don’t blame me if it’s not good.”

After raising the microphone, Xia Ruoming started humming the prelude softly.

“This is a farewell letter, writing down the reasons why I should leave.”

“The role I play in your life is too vague.”

“You’re hot and cold towards me.”

“Am I a lover or just a friend, should I not love you too seriously.”

The junior students who were previously urging her to sing suddenly looked bewildered, wondering why she would sing such a song at this time, but everyone listened quietly, no one interrupted.

Because it was too beautiful, their ears might get pregnant! Was GEm doing a cover?

“That’s why.”

“I’m letting go.”

“I finally have the courage to let you go.”

“Because loving you hurts my heart.”

“But you don’t understand.”

“I’m letting go.”

“Your weakness and laziness towards everything.”

“Makes one doubt if you ever loved me, truly loved me.”

“I can no longer find excuses for you…”

Actually, Xia Ruoming just randomly picked a song she liked in her previous life, without any special meaning.

But at that moment, countless eyes were looking at Xu Fengwu. Everyone knew Xu Fengwu had dumped Xia Ruoming before, and everyone felt that Xia Ruoming was using the song to condemn Xu Fengwu.

Xu Fengwu’s face turned pale as she stepped backward and sat down on a chair. She hadn’t anticipated this situation at all.

She had thought her relationship with Xia Ruoming had improved considerably, and the next step would be getting back together.

Listening to Xia Ruoming’s seemingly sorrowful voice, Xu Fengwu recalled those old times, and some blurry memories became clear.

Since they first met, they had never had a single argument. Whenever Xu Fengwu showed even a slight sign of unhappiness, Xia Ruoming would take the initiative to apologize, even though she hadn’t done anything wrong.

Xia Ruoming had never done anything wrong, but she was always willing to bow her head to her.

Every time it rained heavily and she forgot to bring an umbrella, Xia Ruoming would always give her umbrella to her and walk back alone in the downpour.

Scene after scene from the past appeared before her, until the day Xia Ruoming never looked back for her again… Combined with Xia Ruoming’s heavenly voice, it nearly made Xu Fengwu break down on the spot.

Why did Xia Ruoming give up on her? She knew the answer now.

Because she loved too much, loved until she didn’t know how to love her anymore. In this relationship, Xia Ruoming was simply too tired, so she chose to let go.

There was beautiful scenery outside the window, she wasn’t the only one in this colorful world.

Xu Fengwu’s tears had turned into a small river, impossible to stop.

Everyone was shocked, one dared to sing in front of everyone, one dared to cry in front of everyone, all pure emotion, no acting?

Listening to Xia Ruoming’s singing, Xu Fengwu’s heart felt like it was being stabbed.

That gentleness towards her, she knew it, she clearly knew it…

So this was how much she loved her, her love was so much more than what she had shown…

When the song ended, everyone quietly moved away from Xia Ruoming and Xu Fengwu. Everyone was sensible, they all thought, if you didn’t still have feelings for Xu Fengwu, why would you sing this song to provoke her? Look how you made the school beauty cry. If you go comfort her now, wouldn’t it naturally lead to getting back together?

Xia Ruoming, just coming out of her own absorbed little world, saw Xu Fengwu sitting alone in the corner sobbing.

Seeing Xia Ruoming finish singing, Xu Fengwu burst into tears and threw herself into Xia Ruoming’s arms.

He Ya, who was playing cards with Chu Suhe, almost dropped her jaw in shock.

“Sister… how can you have the face to run over and act coquettish in front of someone else’s current girlfriend after dumping them…” He Ya started cursing silently in her heart at Xu Fengwu, who was already acting a bit “shameless.”

“No… no, what’s wrong, Fengwu?” Xia Ruoming was completely puzzled. What’s wrong with this crazy woman today, why is she crying again and coming up for a hug? Could it be that she was triggered by seeing her holding hands with Chu Suhe? But then why would she react only now??

“I’m sorry… Ruoming… I’m sorry, even after all this time, I haven’t properly apologized to you. I was only thinking about getting you back, forgetting about your feelings. I’m sorry… What I did before was me being too willful, please forgive me.” Xu Fengwu buried her face in Xia Ruoming’s chest, but her crying voice couldn’t be covered up.

He Ya indignantly poked Chu Suhe’s waist.

Still watching? Enjoying it? Your girlfriend is about to be stolen! Look at Xu Fengwu’s move, crying like pear blossoms in the rain, retreating to advance, she’s a top-tier tea master, no doubt about it. Must’ve spent a lot on those tea art classes, huh? Which girl wouldn’t soften their heart? Susu, if you don’t go stop this now, your girlfriend will be gone!
