"I can't go out, Nuannuan, Ji Wei isn't feeling well lately, I need to stay with her."
Leng Yan's nails dug into the flesh of his palm, a drop of blood oozed out. He only felt the wetness, without a trace of pain.
"Leng Yan, you promised not to lie to me. You promised not to give up on me…" Tears filled Wen Nuan's eyes and streamed down uncontrollably. Holding the phone, she slowly crouched down. The sound of raindrops intensified, pelting down with a clatter, yet it couldn't drown out her sobs.
A piece of his heart felt gouged out, so cold that his whole body shivered. Leng Yan's fingers grew colder as he stood up, wanting to move towards her, but he couldn't take a single step. His step faltered, and he slumped onto the stairs.
"I'm sorry!"
