'She was at fault, too. She never dared to tell Zhou Mochen that she already had a boyfriend, which was why Xi Zirong was so insecure.'
Xu Su's heart ached for him, but she was still simmering with anger over what had just happened. After taking a couple of steps, she stopped in her tracks.
When Xi Zirong confirmed it was Xu Su, he immediately stood up. He'd been squatting for a while, and he swayed as he rose abruptly.
Once he steadied himself, he walked over in a few strides, pulled Xu Su into his arms, and began to apologize frantically. "I'm sorry, Susu, I'm so sorry. Please don't be mad at me, okay? I'll never do it again."
Xu Su felt a drop of water land on her face. It took her half a second to realize what it was before she pushed him away. The campus lights were dimmer than the streetlights outside, making it hard to see clearly.
She reached out to touch his face and, just as she expected, felt it was wet with tears.
