Blooming Pear Tree only knew about this matter one month after Zheng Xiaoguang and Su Han had broken up. When he hurried to R City to find Zheng Xiaoguang in a fit of anger, he discovered that she was actually lying on her bed and there was a plaster on her right leg.

Because Zheng Xiaoguang's parents especially hated the people whom she had met online, Zheng Xiaoguang could only explain vaguely. Blooming Pear Tree was a senior in her university who pa.s.sed by R City and came to visit her.

Zheng Xiaoguang's parents saw how Blooming Pear Tree was worried about Zheng Xiaoguang and immediately thought that he was a suitor of their daughter. They also had a good impression of him. They hurriedly found several excuses to leave the room in order to give him and Zheng Xiaoguang, the two of them, s.p.a.ce to be alone.

Seeing that Zheng Xiaoguang's parents had left and that it was only the two of them who were alone in the room, Blooming Pear Tree spoke up and asked Zheng Xiaoguang what had happened to her feet. Zheng Xiaoguang only flashed him a smile, saying that her attention had drifted while she was walking and because of this, she had accidentally been knocked down by a car.

As for how horrific that incident had been, she had not mentioned it once.

Blooming Pear Tree furrowed his eyebrows and said, "You and Su Han... why did you not tell me that immediately?"

A smile lifted the corners of Zheng Xiaoguang's lips as she said, "Should I tell you earlier so that you can catch him or beat him up? Brother, there is no need for this."

Yes, there was no need for this. When her leg had been hit and was injured, it was about a week after breaking up with Su Han. That time, she was still a little expectant because she thought perhaps Su Han would rush over to see her when knowing that she got injured. She secretly used all ways which he could possibly know to tell him that her foot was broken. But Su Han did not appear, and neither did he ask if she was "feeling alright".

After all, he was someone who she had loved once. Su Han was actually so callous and did not ask anymore information from her. In order to avoid her, he had even forgone going up on Flying Deity. Why would she even need to put her face up close so shamelessly?

Blooming Pear Tree gritted his teeth. "Why did he want to break up with you?"

As for this matter, Zheng Xiaoguang did not want to mention it again. But seeing how Blooming Pear Tree wanted to press on and find out the truth at all costs, she could only use a tone of helplessness and self-mockery to reply him. "He said that his parents do not agree to it."

"Bulls.h.i.+t!" Blooming Pear Tree exploded in anger. "Your parents did not agree to it in the beginning, but I had persuaded you to persevere. You're not like Romeo and Juliet whose families had a feud with each other. As long as both of you talk to your parents nicely about it, nothing is impossible. You're not inferior to others!"

Zheng Xiaoguang blinked her eyes. "Brother, what do you think I can do? Since he has already said this, I can only believe. Or else, should I chase him to S City to ask him about this?"

She had once thought that perhaps having the "success case" of Su Han's cousin, Su Han and his family members felt that the matter of marriage was after all, an "order by the parents". So, he gave up because of their wishes. Or perhaps, Su Han had fallen for others, using the excuse of his parents' disapproval to fob her off.

She had once wanted to find him to ask about what had happened in order to let her own heart "rest in peace" with understanding. But she had lost sleep for a whole week, only finding that she did not have the courage to ask at all.

She had once thought of pleading with Blooming Pear Tree to let him ask about Su Han's "true reason". If Su Han had said that he had to end this relations.h.i.+p because he could not bear seeing her go through such difficulties in convincing his parents, she would not be so heart-broken.

But every time she took out her phone wanting to call Blooming Pear Tree, she could not bring herself to do it. In the end, she could only choose to remain silent.

Further on, she also started to understand slowly that no matter what the reason was, Su Han had spoken such cruel and callous words to her and there was no turning back in this. Even if he was willing to turn back, she would not be able to make peace with him as before. Because of the words that he had spoken to her were like spikes that could not melt in her heart. They reminded her again and again that Su Han was a person who had dumped her so easily like that.

Since things were this way, what was the point of pressing on further? It would only cause people to think that she was clinging on to things, which made Su Han and his parents despise her even more. She had already lost her romance and had also deeply hurt her parents' heart. However, at the very end, she still wished that she could have some spine and did not need to plead with those people for their sympathy.

"I'm sorry." Blooming Pear Tree fixed his gaze at Zheng Xiaoguang, almost tracing the sorrow on her face. "In the beginning, if I hadn't helped him pursue you and spoken so much for him, perhaps you would not have been together. I, Li Hanyu, have misjudged someone's character for the first time, and because of that, I have hurt you."

Su Han, who had hurt her deeply, had not even apologized to her. It was Blooming Pear Tree who had apologized to her instead.

Zheng Xiaoguang shook her head. "Brother, how can I blame you? Even I, who was involved in the relations.h.i.+p, could not even judge clearly—how would you be able to antic.i.p.ate it?"

At that time, Zheng Xiaoguang had also hesitated whether she should accept Su Han because of the distance and other factors. In the end, it was Blooming Pear Tree who had rooted for her, saying that he had already looked carefully at Su Han, that Su Han was honest, easy-going, and did not dare to mistreat her. It was then that she had finally accepted Su Han.

But she knew in her heart that Blooming Pear Tree had supported her for her own good. He had wished that she would be able to grasp her own fate. How would she put the problem of Su Han—this blame, on him?

"No, it's my fault. I had trusted him too easily, thinking that he had been treating you well all the time. Who knew that all the guarantees that he had told me at the start were all rubbish." Blooming Pear Tree was very angered. A man did not keep his promises, which was a quality that he most looked down upon.

"Brother, I had already broken up with him. Let's not talk about matters of the past anymore, shall we?" Zheng Xiaoguang had already not been that brash as she was at the beginning. She did not wish to criticize Su Han because he was someone whom she had loved. Moreover, with a failed relations.h.i.+p, both parties were losers. If one were to say that all should be blamed on Su Han, it would be a bit far-fetched as well.

After all, in a relations.h.i.+p, no one was a deity. Anyone would make mistakes. She had also moments when she had quarreled with Su Han because of her insecurity. Perhaps it was due to this which made Su Han unable to sustain the pressure and choose to give up in the end.

At least, she was willing to believe that at the very beginning, Su Han was like her, wanting that this relations.h.i.+p would be able to go on.

Blooming Pear Tree sighed. "Alright, we won't talk about this anymore. Xiaoguang, forget about him. As for someone like him who can't even make up his mind in choosing who to marry, he can't achieve anything. Rest a.s.sured, I will find someone who is even better. And then, we will show him your new boyfriend to upset him."

This time, Zheng Xiaoguang, who had a plaster on her leg, thought that Blooming Pear Tree had only wanted to comfort her, so she said with a smile, "Alright".

But who knew that Blooming Pear Tree really took her matter to heart. In that year when Zheng Xiaoguang and Su Han had broken up, Blooming Pear Tree had continually kept looking for someone for her, and the one must be ten times better than Su Han.
