Chapter 273 - Rejected

Chapter 273: Chapter 276 Rejected

Yun Qianyu completely froze after hearing his confession to the point that, even though her mouth was still filled with food, she forgot to swallow it. When she finally reacted, her face was already bright red, and she quickly swallowed the food.
On the opposite side, Xiao Yechen became worried. Immediately, he passed her some tea and a handkerchief.
The very solemn atmosphere was quickly destroyed by Yun Qianyu.
When she had finally swallowed the food in her mouth, she looked up at Xiao Yechen seriously and said, “Xiao Yechen, have you forgotten what you said before? We are friends and will be friends forever. Isn’t that good enough? Why do we have to sink into this embarrassment? Would we still be able to be friends in the future?”
Yun Qianyu’s words made Xiao Yechen extremely regretful. ‘Why did I ever tell her that I want to be friends forever.’
“Feather, I developed these feelings for you slowly over time. I just want to…”
Before Xiao Yechen could finish speaking, Yun Qianyu interrupted him.
“Xiao Yechen, I don’t feel that way toward you. I regard you as a friend. If you can continue to treat me as a friend, we will forever be friends. If you can’t treat me as a friend, then we won’t even be friends in the future. As for the help you gave me, I owe you and I will repay the favor someday in the future.”
Yun Qianyu’s words were cold and merciless. She wanted to quickly end this matter since she did not like him in a romantic way at all. For that reason also, Yun Qianyu did not want to give Xiao Yechen any hope at all, not even one bit.
Giving him any hope would just hurt him.
Listening to Yun Qianyu’s words, Xiao Yechen only felt his heart hurting. As if a knife was stabbing his delicate heart, it hurt with every word of rejection from Yun Qianyu.
His face was pale and his eyes showed that he was in pain.
He looked up toward Yun Qianyu and knew that she was only doing this for his own good.
However, even if he knew that this was for his own good, he wasn’t able to accept it.
Xiao Yechen’s eyes welled up slightly and he felt a heaviness on his chest. Overall he just felt very uncomfortable and disappointed.
Seeing how much suffering he was going through, Yun Qianyu knew how hard this must be for him. However, she couldn’t do anything else. She had never thought about Xiao Yechen that way. In fact, she had not developed feelings for anyone.
She was being honest with Xiao Yechen because she didn’t want to hurt him any deeper.
She was sure that Xiao Yechen’s feelings for her weren’t that deep right now. However, if things continued on in an ambiguous manner, he would just become more hurt in the future.
That was why Yun Qianyu hoped that Xiao Yechen would get over this soon.
With that thought, Yun Qianyu continued ruthlessly. “You should think about this. If you can’t get over this, then we will no longer be friends in the future. Whatever I owe you I’ll definitely pay you back.”
After saying that, Yun Qianyu got up and walked toward the door. Left behind, Xiao Yechen looked at her departing figure and his heart ached once more.
However, he was also really afraid that they wouldn’t be able to stay friends anymore.
Thinking about that possibility, Xiao Yechen got up and rushed to hold Yun Qianyu’s hand. Even though he was hurting, he said seriously, “Feather, I understand. Let’s still be friends.”
Yun Qianyu looked up at Xiao Yechen and said, “Alright.”
After pausing for a moment, she continued, “Xiao Yechen, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I just didn’t want to hurt you even more in the future. So…Let’s just be friends, forever.” If you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc.. ), Please let us know so we can fix it as soon as possible.
