Chapter 170 Goodbye Li Xin
Chapter 170 Goodbye Li Xin
Now Ouyang Mengmian is already familiar with how to get back to Su Jingsi's apartment - walk out of the subway, walk straight for no more than three minutes, then pass a small intersection and walk straight for two minutes.
At this moment, she finally arrived at the door of the apartment. The lobby security guard looked at her with a scrutinizing eye, but she didn't care. She turned around and walked towards the elevator behind the door with light steps. Ouyang Mengmian pressed the button, and the elevator quickly rose and took her to the 16th floor.
When the elevator stopped, Ouyang Mengmian immediately walked out of the elevator and walked towards Su Jingsi's room. However, just as she turned the corner, a person suddenly appeared in front of her - it was Li Xin!
As soon as Li Xin saw Ouyang Mengmian, he quickly reached out and put out the cigarette in his hand on the wall next to him, and then walked straight towards Ouyang Mengmian. The moment Ouyang Mengmian saw Li Xin for the first time, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned. She never thought that she would meet Li Xin again at this time.
However, she quickly regained her composure. Since she had made up her mind to completely sever her relationship with Li Xin, she would firmly implement her decision. So, Ouyang Mengmian deliberately avoided Li Xin's sight and tried to bypass him.
But Li Xin obviously had no intention of letting Ouyang Mengmian get around him. He took two quick steps and quickly walked to Ouyang Mengmian's side and grabbed her arm. Ouyang Mengmian tried to break free from Li Xin's hand, but he was unexpectedly strong and she couldn't break free easily.
It was late at night, and the whole city was immersed in silence. The unique construction mode of this apartment made the sound reverberate particularly loud. If someone screamed here, it would probably cause quite a commotion. Therefore, even though Ou Yanmengmian was forcibly pulled by Li Xin, she still clenched her teeth and did not scream.
Time flies, and it has been two years since they last parted. During this period of time, many things may have changed, but Ouyang Mengmian is sure that she still has some understanding of Li Xin. She knows very well in her heart that Li Xin will never really hurt her.
With this thought in mind, Ouyang Mengmian allowed herself to be pulled to the stairwell by Li Xin. The light in the stairwell was dim, but it was enough to illuminate the two people confronting each other.
Li Xin's face looked a little heavy. He held Ouyang Mengmian's hand tightly and looked at Ouyang Mengmian with longing.
Ouyang Mengmian took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm: "Li Xin, let me go. We are over, please respect yourself."
A complex emotion flashed in Li Xin's eyes. He did not let go immediately, but said in a low voice: "Mengmian, I know that I did something wrong before and caused you a lot of harm. But please give me another chance to make it up to you."
Ouyang Mengmian shook her head gently, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She looked at Li Xin with a bit of sharpness: "Li Xin, some injuries are destined to be irreparable. Two years ago, it was over between us - don't forget, you told me in person that we wanted to break up, I respected you at that time and didn't pester you, and now I hope you can respect my decision."
Li Xin's hand trembled slightly, and he slowly loosened his hand, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes. But soon, he hurriedly and anxiously said: "Mengmian, I..." Li Xin seemed to want to say something, but swallowed it back. He looked a little haggard, without the spirit of the past.
As time passed, Ouyang Mengmian's mood was like the water in an ancient well, calm and peaceful. When she faced Li Xin again, she was no longer the young and sensitive girl. The past relationship that had broken her heart had already exhausted her passion and excitement.
She stood there quietly, without saying a word, just looking at Li Xin with those eyes that were once full of affection, trying to find the answer in his eyes.
"I... I left you for a reason." Li Xin finally spoke, his voice trembling. "I know my decision at that time hurt you, but I really had no choice. I... I was shaken by your mother's words, and I... I needed money."
Ouyang Mengmian sneered in her heart when she heard what Li Xin said. She didn't expect that after so many years, Li Xin would still use her mother's words as a reason for leaving her - she suddenly felt that her dedication and trust in Li Xin were so ridiculous and cheap.
