67 “If you don’t love me anymore, then who do you love?” (1 / 2)
Indeed, that was the case.
From noble mtl dot come
During their romance, Ark truly liked Qiao Sisi, was fascinated by her, and could infinitely tolerate her little tempers and whims.
But with their relationship about to be exposed and Qiao Sisi’s future looking bleak, breaking up was the best choice.
Ark was neither love-struck nor brainless.
Qiao Sisi had worked so hard for so long, all to become a good actress. She couldn’t possibly let her give up her future for him.
He also wouldn’t allow himself to be the stumbling block on someone else’s path to ascension.
So, Fang Zhou decisively cut the Gordian knot, making a clean break.
It was just a romance, after all. Once Qiao Sisi became an outstanding actress, she could choose anyone she wanted.
Likewise, Fang Zhou didn’t have to carry the burden of someone else’s heavy life because of this.
Love also requires the right timing, location, and people. What he and Qiao Sisi lacked was just the right moment.
“Words are superfluous. I’m telling you this not to burden you psychologically, but to give you a belated answer.”
Fang Zhou finally clarified the reason for their breakup back then.
A huge weight was lifted from his heart.
If she proposed getting back together because she couldn’t accept being dumped, she should be over it by now.
After all, a breakup in exchange for five million and not being shelved for five years is not a bad deal at all.
The best five years for an actress, if shelved, would make it as hard as scaling the heavens to get ahead later.
Qiao Sisi should feel fortunate.
But looking at her current state, why doesn’t she seem happy at all?
Qiao Sisi staggered forward a step, wanting to reach out and touch Fang Zhou’s face, but her hand stopped mid-air.
It was just a moment of recounting memories, and her voice changed, becoming somewhat hoarse and low.
Her eyes also lost their usual luster, as if she had suffered a great blow.
“I knew it…”
“I knew you didn’t break up with me because you stopped loving me…”
She murmured something softly, staring blankly at Fang Zhou in a daze.
As she spoke, Qiao Sisi’s eyes suddenly lit up again.
“Since you didn’t break up with me because you stopped loving me, let’s get back together now!”
She stepped forward, grabbed Fang Zhou’s arm, and gave it a gentle shake, almost coquettishly.
“I’m already a top idol now, and I’ve even participated in a romance reality show. We can be together openly, no one will threaten you anymore.”
The once radiant actress now held so much vulnerability in her eyes, it seemed as if Fang Zhou’s rejection would be unbearable for her.
Unfortunately, Fang Zhou knew his own nature all too well. Love was like a journey; if he couldn’t stay in one place any longer, he would move forward without looking back.
No matter how enticing the offers behind him, he would never turn back.
“The problem is, I don’t love you anymore.”
Fang Zhou, not daring to meet Qiao Sisi’s gaze, simply turned away and sat down on the stool by the bed.
“As cruel as it is, I still have to tell you the truth.”
Time is the best healer. It’s been so many years since Fang Zhou and Qiao Sisi broke up, and in between, he had liked so many others.
How could he possibly still have feelings for Qiao Sisi?
“I don’t love you anymore.”
This sentence was more devastating to Qiao Sisi than the half-year of hard work on a drama that couldn’t be aired in the end because the male actor was caught evading taxes.
“I don’t love you anymore, so who do you love?”
She felt as if there was a hole in her heart, with cold wind howling into it, causing pain that nearly made her faint.
No sound from the outside world could reach her ears anymore; all that echoed in her mind was Fang Zhou’s words, “But I don’t love you anymore.”
Something dark and sinister seemed to have been hooked out, spreading bit by bit from her heart to her mind, eventually taking control of her body.
In a place Fang Zhou couldn’t see, Qiao Sisi’s gaze changed.
Her attention shifted from him to the fruit knife on the table.
It was a delicate and small fruit knife, its exposed tail gleaming with a silver light, like an enticing gem.
She thought: How could he utter such cruel words so easily?
Should she cut off his tongue so he wouldn’t be able to speak such hurtful words?
“If you don’t love me, then who do you love?”
Qiao Sisi slowly moved towards the edge of the table, unconsciously repeating the question to him.
Who do you love?
If I carve out your heart, will you stop loving others?
I love you so much, you should only have eyes for me.
Caught off guard by the question, Fang Zhou paused, staring at the clean white wall, and began to ponder.
Indeed, who did he love now?
The faces of his ex-girlfriends appeared one by one on the white wall—Qiao Sisi, Han Xi, Chu Xinran, Qin Yun, Song Qinghuan.
Then they all disappeared, leaving nothing but pure white.
It was as if he loved no one, yet it seemed he could start a new romance at any moment.
“I don’t love anyone; I just want to focus on making money right now.”
In the end, Fang Zhou honestly answered Qiao Sisi. Making money was his current priority in life.
However, the woman behind him didn’t respond to his words. Fang Zhou thought she was just angry again and tried to console her.
“Sisi, with your current talent, you could aim for the Golden Award. Once you win it, you won’t have to worry about being pushed out.”
Even in the entertainment industry, it’s all about talent.
Although Qiao Sisi’s popularity is high and she has had one or two breakout works, it’s far from enough in the entertainment world.
The female star standing behind Fang Zhou couldn’t take in a word he was saying.
She had already picked up the fruit knife, bit by bit removing the cumbersome sheath, and turned to look at Fang Zhou.
“Where should I start? The tongue that said it no longer loved her? Or those disobedient legs that want to run everywhere?”
Fang Zhou spoke a lot to himself, without any response, wondering in his mind if Qiao Sisi would find him too talkative.
He sighed deeply and continued, “Actually, I’ve seen the drama you starred in recently. The character you played was quite beautiful, and your performance was great.”
“It’s just that, with such a shining example before, it’s a bit hard to surpass…”
As he spoke, he turned around and was startled to see Qiao Sisi holding the knife, staring coldly at him.
Her gaze was as if she wanted to carve him up, causing goosebumps to rise on his skin.
A strange fear surged in his heart, and the instinct to survive stopped him from continuing the topic.
It’s over, it’s over, why is she looking at me with that kind of look?
Everything was fine just now, how did it become so wrong as we talked?
Fang Zhou, looking at Qiao Sisi in this state, recalled the day he drowned, the suffocating feeling of being dragged underwater by her, unable to break free.
It was as if the gates of hell he saw that day were beckoning to him again.
