[The Present]

He had made both the apology and the vows.

Tye Zhang sat quietly on the sofa and looked at Cole Wu's expressionless face from the opposite, and the heart played a drum, feeling unsettled.

What happened?

He just had a very moving expression, how come he became so calm again after just a while!

For the first time, Tye Zhang thought Cole Wu was no longer the man he used to be.

In the past, Cole Wu would immediately soften his attitude as long as he treated him gently. Even if Cole Wu was still in his poker face, he would have been obedient to him inside.

But Now!

Now Cole Wu would have basically all his emotions restrained. Even if he accidentally let out some true feelings, he would quickly hold them back and become calm and indifferent again, making people feel like punching in the foam sponge and have nowhere to discord.

"Cole...I..."

Tye Zhang only said a few words, then Cole Wu, with his cold face, interrupted him: "You should go. It's late."

Tye Zhang's smile froze instantly. He coughed and asked: "Since it's so late, where do you think I can go?"

Cole Wu looked at Tye Zhang with some ridicule in his eyes. He slightly raised his voice, saying: "Wherever you wish. It's none of my business. I have nothing to do with you. To break up is to break up. In my heart, you have long been gone out of my life! So...please get out of my home. It's getting late."

Cole Wu became so much more eloquent than before thanks to the fact that he had been tortured by Tye Zhang for more than three years!

Tye Zhang's eyes gradually cooled down. He had never suffered such thing. In his eyes, he had already apologised to him humbly, what else did he want? Shouldn't he immediately be moved and cry bitterly? Shouldn't he lie in his arms, talk to him about his feelings, and tell him that his belly was already pregnant with his children, and that he had never cheated on him?

Why didn't Cole Wu do anything that he expected! On the contrary...he chased him away so calmly and indifferently!

"Isn't it that you like me? Why are you doing this to me? I just want to stay with you for one night. Do you really have to chase me away?" Tye Zhang said this like an innocent girl, looking childish and ridiculous.

"Ah." Cole Wu was too angry that he laughed. He took a few breaths and looked at Tye Zhang's in his eyes, saying: "Okay. Let me make it clear to you today! After we make it clear what is between us, please vanish from my world! For good!"

He paused a bit, pinched his fist and said: "Yes! I like you. I've been liking you from the very beginning, from the first time I saw you. I just like you! Even now, at this moment, I can admit that my love for you has not decreased at all!"

"Then why did you..."

"Shut up! Listen to me!"

Tye Zhang wanted to interrupt when he got the chance, but Cole Wu picked up the apple on the tea table and threw it over to his forehead. It hurt him and he was so scared that he immediately shut up and dared not say a word.

Cole Wu gently pressed his abdomen. He adjusted his posture because his waist hurt a bit after sitting all the time.

He continued: "Tye Zhang, I hope that you are rational and mature! Yes, I like you, but that doesn't mean that I can be trampled under your feet without dignity! Unlike you, I still want to save my face! What are you doing here now? It is you that insult me as a substitute over and over again! It was you that cheated on me! You betrayed our love! You ruined my trust for you!

By now...what's it to you that how I am doing? We have neither legal relationship nor emotional relationship! It is Thea Zheng that is in a relationship with you! Since you are in a relationship with somebody else, please cherish her love and love her back! Stop scourging me again! I've..."

Cole Wu was so excited that his mouth and tongue got slightly twitched. Even if he could open his mouth, he couldn't continue to speak.

He paused and tried to calm himself down over and over again.

Tye Zhang listened to him, looked at him, and hurt inside of his heart.

He was stunned. He never knew that what he had done would be so irritative to Cole Wu!

"Cole..." He didn't know what his feeling was at the moment, but...it was bad, really bad!

He wanted to pour Cole Wu a glass of water, but he was stiff and unable to move.

He looked at Cole Wu so seriously, watching Cole Wu trembling in his lips again and again, but was unable to say a word!

It hurt him.

It really hurt him!

"Cole, Cole..."

Was he regretting it?

It seemed it wasn't until now that he realized what he had previously done as he wish was too selfish and too scoundrel!

"Cole, I..."

"You don't have to say it! I, I can!"

Cole Wu closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. He said: "You have your love partner, and I have my own life! Sherwin and I are getting along well. Please don't bother us anymore! You, you get back to Thea Zheng and love her whole-heartedly! I'm begging you...Tye Zhang, please, please just go! Stop messing with my heart again! I, I am not an iron man, I can't take it that you approach me and hurt me over and over again! If you continue like this, and if you don't leave me alone...I will die. I really can't bear it no more. I feel already very bad, I beg you...Please don't come to hurt me again. Please."

After he finished, his cold camouflage had all melted and shattered.

Cole Wu cried with grievance. He leaned against the back cushion. He vented and sighed in a short and hasty breath.

His tears were really valueless now. He cried so hard that his eye sockets couldn't hold the tears back.

Tye Zhang was shocked and stunned! His entire body seemed to have been struck by lightning, and his mind began to numb!

He now... dared not take force Cole Wu back to him making use of his pregnancy.

If he told Cole Wu that he knew about the pregnancy, He couldn't imagine what would happen with his current emotions!

He couldn't allow anything to happen to Cole Wu! Anything at all!

"Calm down, Cole. I'll leave immediately if you calm down! I can't leave with you being like this...I'm staying for one more hour. When you calm down, I'll leave at once! Trust me. I will not cheat you. I swear I will never cheat you again!"

Tye Zhang didn't leave Cole Wu's house until he made sure Cole Wu was truly calm.

He was driving on the viaduct. The ice-cold wind blew into his skin and bones!

He felt cold.

Freezing.

In his mind, he had been echoing the accusation and pleading of Cole Wu. He seemed to know himself for the first time in all these years!

Being scolded severely by Cole Wu, he saw himself, the true self, a total bastard!

What awful things had he done!

"...Fuck...Bastard! Disgusting!"

He suddenly pulled his car over to the side of the road. He sat in the car and looked at the empty road. He hated himself so much that he gnawed his teeth and slammed himself in his face. His lower jaw hurt so much with that slap that it was about to crack!

"Cole...I was wrong."

The man clenched his fist for a long time and then suddenly let go of it. He said weakly, that he was wrong, and that he was afraid.

He was now so afraid that Cole Wu would...never give him any chance.
