Getting Caught Up In His Cycle Of Passionate Love - Chapter 30
“You lied to me and kept it from me.”
“I didn’t have time then… I was about to go on stage, and I didn’t have time to find you alone…” Xu Tao YUE pouted, then put her hand on Lu Que’s face and started acting spoiled.
“What am I going to do, Lu Que? My hand hurts so much…”
Hearing Xu Tao YUE say this, Lu Que’s attention returned to her hand. Lu Que’s eyes were filled with distress. He gently took her hand and blew on it: “You’re so clumsy.”
Xu Tao YUE heard him say this and knew he wasn’t angry anymore, so she immediately pounced on him: “Lu Que~ Classmate Lu~”
Lu Que patted Xu Tao YUE’s hand, which was draped over him, back: “Stop being a smart aleck.”
Xu Tao YUE pressed Lu Que into her seat and stared at him: “Lu Que.”
“Hmm.”
Lu Que turned his head away, not meeting her gaze. Xu Tao YUE didn’t care and simply turned Lu Que’s head back. That’s when she saw Lu Que’s slightly red eyes.
“!!!”
“No, Lu Que, don’t cry.”
Xu Tao YUE panicked. How did she make him cry?
Lu Que turned his head away again and gently held Xu Tao YUE’s hand, not letting her look at him. Xu Tao YUE grew nervous, crouched down, and held his hand: “Lu Que, look at me, okay?”
At her words, Lu Que’s tears finally fell, landing right on Xu Tao YUE’s hand that was holding his. Xu Tao YUE’s hand trembled, and the hot tears gradually turned cold. Xu Tao YUE pulled her hand away and gently caressed his face.
“Don’t cry.” Xu Tao YUE wiped away his falling tears.
“I’m sorry.”
Lu Que finally said a sentence, his voice trembling, which made Xu Tao YUE’s heart tremble: “What for? Why are you apologizing?”
“I didn’t protect you well…”
Lu Que’s tears were wiped away by Xu Tao YUE, but his self-blame spread endlessly in his heart.
“It was my fault. Lu Que, you’re not at fault.”
Xu Tao YUE told him, but Lu Que obviously didn’t hear what she said. He was lost in his own emotions.
Xu Tao YUE hugged him. Lu Que lowered his head and obediently let her hug him. Sure enough, a man’s tears were a woman’s stimulant. Xu Tao YUE felt a little guilty that she was actually a bit excited.
Lu Que rubbed against Xu Tao YUE’s neck, then took her injured hand to calm himself down, and stood up to let Xu Tao YUE sit down.
He gently unwrapped the bandage Xu Tao YUE had put on herself. The gash was shocking, and it deeply stung Lu Que’s eyes: “Liar.”
Xu Tao YUE didn’t dare to speak, afraid that Lu Que would get even angrier.
“Not only did you lie to me, but you also kept it from me.”
Lu Que’s words were a double-edged sword. Xu Tao YUE felt guilty and let Lu Que do what he was doing.
Lu Que reapplied the medicine and re-bandaged Xu Tao YUE’s hand, then nonchalantly helped her up to attend the final closing ceremony.
Xu Tao YUE held him back: “Lu Que.”
Lu Que: “Hmm.”
“If I… am not from this world, would you believe it?”
Lu Que lowered his eyes, not knowing what to say.
This matter was supernatural and mysterious, making Lu Que a bit afraid to believe it. Xu Tao YUE sighed and finally revealed the secret she had hidden for a long time.
The two of them found a relatively quiet place. Xu Tao YUE was a little nervous, constantly picking at her hands. Seeing this, Lu Que took Xu Tao YUE’s hands.
“If you keep picking at it, your hand will bleed again.”
Xu Tao YUE took a deep breath and stared at Lu Que seriously: “Lu Que, after I tell you my story, will you still want to be with me…?”
Lu Que tapped Xu Tao YUE’s head and answered seriously: “Dummy.”
“I will always love you.”
Xu Tao YUE told Lu Que all her secrets without reservation, and Lu Que didn’t seem to show any surprised expression after listening.
This made Xu Tao YUE very confused. A normal person’s first reaction to such a mysterious and strange story should be disbelief, but Lu Que was surprisingly calm.
It was as if this matter was just a very ordinary story to him.
“You’re not… shocked at all?”
“Shocked about what?”
Lu Que’s rhetorical question made her question herself.
“My story! I told you such a big thing, and you’re so indifferent.”
Lu Que finally smiled, gently pinching Xu Tao YUE’s face and looking at her: “Then… you’ve liked me for a long time. Does that mean you fell in love with me at first sight in your world?”
Xu Tao YUE: “?”
No, why were Lu Que’s points of focus so strange?
“That’s not the point at all, okay?”
Lu Que nodded: “That is the point.”
Xu Tao YUE: “…”
She had felt guilty for so long and finally mustered the courage to say it today, but she didn’t get the emotional reaction she expected!
“What kind of emotional reaction do you want me to have?”
“You want me to say to you… ‘Ahhh! Xu Tao YUE, you’re actually from another world?'”
Xu Tao YUE burst out laughing. She could tell that Lu Que was imitating how she would react if she heard such a thing. Then she directly pounced on Lu Que: “I just feel like that reaction isn’t right.”
Lu Que lowered his head and kissed her: “Will you leave?”
Leave?
Xu Tao YUE had never thought about this.
But she knew clearly that she didn’t want to.
Xu Tao YUE shook her head but didn’t say anything.
Lu Que saw that she was hiding something but didn’t say much. He was just worried that she would disappear without a word again like last time.
Xu Tao YUE pouted and finally decided to tell the truth: “Who knows what will happen in the future? The truth is, I don’t know why I ended up in college the moment I opened my eyes. With my grades back then, I wouldn’t even have been able to get into this school.”
Lu Que sighed: “I have to live with the possibility that you’ll disappear, and I’m very scared. So, Xu Tao YUE, can you… at least tell me if you have that premonition again?”
Lu Que rarely expressed his emotional needs so directly. Perhaps it was because hearing that Xu Tao YUE might disappear again made him feel that she was like an unattainable mirage, something he yearned for but could never grasp.
Xu Tao YUE lowered her eyes: “Lu Que, what will you do if I’m really gone…?”
Lu Que: “…”
Frankly, he didn’t know either. When it came to Xu Tao YUE, he was the powerless one. Lu Que took her hand and answered seriously: “I’ll wait.”
“Wait?”
“Wait for you to find me again, and then my heart will beat for you once more.”
The surveillance results finally came out. Xu Tao YUE rushed to the scene. Lu Que held her hand tightly the whole time. Zhou Yao stood beside them, looking unconvinced.
Ye Wan found out before Xu Tao YUE and almost rushed up to fight Zhou Yao. Xia Xiangyang held her back, and nothing happened. When Xu Tao YUE arrived, she used her eyes to calm Ye Wan down.
“It was you.”
“It wasn’t me.” Zhou Yao immediately denied it.
“But the surveillance recorded it.”
Zhou Yao stood up immediately.
“I said it wasn’t me! It wasn’t me! The surveillance just saw me looking at your clothes, but it didn’t show me putting anything in them, did it?”
“We were just checking the clothes for any problems to prepare you for the stage. What does your injury have to do with me? Maybe it’s someone next to you who doesn’t want you to have a good time.”
