With another sudden movement, the boy pushed the girl away and said to her viciously, “Let me tell you the truth. I’m actually a hooligan. I’ve hooked up with who knows how many girls, so you’d better stay far away from me. Aren’t there plenty of other boys? Why hang yourself on one tree?”
The blush on the girl’s face vanished, and she instantly turned incomparably pale. Chen Youzai felt especially unable to bear seeing it, but things had already reached this point. If he backed down now, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
“You’re lying to me, aren’t you? You’re testing me, aren’t you? I already told you, in my eyes, no one can compare to you.”
“But there is someone who likes you even more than I do, someone who wants to treat you even better. I’ve decided to give you to him.”
“Who?” the girl asked, tears in her eyes. After asking, she added, “No matter who it is, I won’t be moved.”
The boy sighed and said, “Can’t you tell? Every morning, Chen Youzai secretly follows you on the road. He goes to your class to borrow books just so he can look at you once. He even bought so many delicious things and secretly stuffed them into your desk…”
“Hmph… hehe…” The girl laughed coldly twice and said, “Even if you’ve changed your heart, you don’t need to drag him out to insult me…”
The boy did not understand what the girl meant and continued slandering himself. “I’ll tell you the truth. I’m especially stingy. I’d split one dime into two uses if I could. I’m also especially dirty. I’ll keep eating things I pick out of the trash can. I don’t brush my teeth for a month, and I don’t wash my feet for half a year. I’m also especially perverted. I always go to the girls’ dormitory to steal underwear and bring it home to store under my bed…”
“Enough!” The girl burst into tears and pointed at the boy. “Even like that, you’re still better than Chen Youzai. Stop disgusting me… Wuwu… I can’t take it.”
With a miserable face, the boy looked at the girl in disbelief and asked, “Is Chen Youzai really that bad?”
The girl clearly did not want to talk about Chen Youzai at a time like this, but the boy refused to let it go, so the girl could only cry while saying in incomparable anger, “Stop pulling this trick. In my heart, he isn’t even as good as the old gatekeeper at our school. Even if every man in the world died, I still wouldn’t fall for Chen Youzai! If you want to break up, just say it…”
Chen Youzai could no longer hear whatever the girl said next. All he remembered was her tear-streaked face and those last few words. Chen Youzai returned to his own appearance and walked along the road in a daze, so lost that he did not even dare approach the glass windows in front of any storefronts, afraid that if he saw this face right now, even he would find it unbearably disgusting.
“Even if every man in the world died, I still wouldn’t fall for Chen Youzai…” Chen Youzai muttered this sentence over and over on the road. At first, his heart ached terribly. Later, he felt less and less, cared less and less, until finally, Chen Youzai kicked a pebble on the road and cursed fiercely, “You don’t like me? I don’t like you either!”
That night, Chen Youzai had a dream. He dreamed that he had returned to that lakeshore again. A man stood by the lake, showing only his back, but one could tell this person had great bearing, and he was wearing ancient-style clothing.
When the man turned around, what Chen Youzai saw was actually the face of his love rival. Then that face magnified several times over, standing before him like the Sphinx. Chen Youzai heard funeral music sound around him, followed by lips blotting out the sky and covering the earth as they attacked him…
Chen Youzai jolted awake. The sky had not yet brightened. In the darkness, Chen Youzai clearly remembered the scene from the day when his love rival had kissed him. He spat on the ground, then wiped his mouth before falling asleep again.
