Zhou Jin hugged me tightly. He buried his head in my shoulder, as if trying to suppress his pain.

I believe that his current state is definitely not because he saw me together with Zheng Xin.

"Tell me, what happened?" I asked Zhou Jin. I remembered that Zhou Jin had told me that he had made a decision.

Did his family force him?

I thought of his brother, the young man with the very different temperament, and I thought of the white cloth piano in the beach house.

Zhou Jin hugged me tightly, as if he was extremely afraid of losing me.

"I won't leave you." I patted him on the back, and just then I felt a little wet on my shoulder.

Zhou Jin … He was actually crying.

He was a gentle young man.

"My brother wants me to go abroad." Zhou Jin said dejectedly, "I don't want to go."

"Why not?" I asked calmly.

"Because of you."

What touching words. I thought.

His words satisfied my vanity. A young man who was eleven years younger than me, was so infatuated that I didn't want to see the wider world. A faint smile slowly appeared on my lips.

"Go." I said, my voice so soft it sounded like a whisper, my heart felt as if it had been pricked with a needle.

Zhou Jin pulled me out of his embrace, and when I saw the anger on his face, he angrily asked, "Why?"

"I'm not worth it." I said calmly, "In the future, you will meet a better woman, a pure and flawless woman like Ye Qing, and I will only be your stumbling block."

Zhou Jin stared at me for a while, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"I don't want to be a burden to you." I put my arms around his neck and stood on tiptoe so close to him that I could see my reflection in his eyes, which were still red.

Zhou Jin looked at me, and after a few seconds, his eyes were full of grievance, as if I had bullied him.

I kissed him on the lips, not wanting to discuss the subject with him.

I have already said that I am selfish, unwilling to promise, unwilling to obstruct the future of others, lest a sincere, a plethora of complaints.

I closed my eyes and kissed Zhou Jin's lips, but Zhou Jin pushed me away. He grabbed my shoulders with both hands and asked, "Why can't you give me a word? Just a word. "

I looked into his eyes and smiled a gentle smile. I reached out to stroke his hair, unwilling to say anything more that would hurt him, and said, "A promise is the most unreliable thing in the world."

Zhou Jin stared at me without speaking.

"Do you believe in God? "Do you believe in the oath?" The expression on my face changed to a sneer. "I don't believe it, because there isn't anything in the world, so I never say it. There's no point in saying what I can't do, right?"

I don't believe these things anymore because of Xie Zongming.

I used up all my persistence and passion on him, but all I got was betrayal again and again.

Zhou Jin listened to what I said. He seemed to have lost all of his strength.

He let go of my hand and walked slowly over to the sofa. He was lying on it, his right hand over his eyes.

I looked at him and felt a pang in my heart.

I walked over to him and sat on the floor beside the sofa. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at me.

"Let's go." "Go to a better place."

At this moment, Zhou Jin's expression changed. He suddenly revealed a smile, grabbed my hand, and gently kissed my fingertip. His lips and tongue were as soft as a small animal's.

"I don't want to." Zhou Jin said with a determined look in his eyes.

I looked at him, took his face in my hands, and kissed it.

About three in the afternoon, I left the hotel. Not only did I have an appointment with Zheng Xin today, I also had an appointment with him.

The place we agreed to meet was a coffee shop not far from the sea. I could see the docks and boats, but I had never been here before.

I walked into the coffee shop. It was a large place with a variety of plants and flowers separating the tables so that even if I talked about something private, I didn't have to worry about being overheard.

I saw Ye Qing sitting by the window, she was looking very deeply at the boat returning to port. I had almost never seen her show such an expression before, it was probably because when I saw her previously, she was always together with Zhou Jin. At that time, her smile was very cheerful.

I walked over to face Ye Qing. She looked at me for a while before asking, "What do you want to drink?"

She was wearing a pink and blue shirt and a short denim skirt. Her hair was loose on her shoulders.

I glanced at the menu on the table and ordered an Irish coffee.

"Please leave him." After the servant left, Ye Qing said straightforwardly that her tutoring was good, and she had restrained herself.

I looked at her and smiled. "I don't want to leave him," I said.

After Ye Qing heard what I said, a look of anger flashed past her eyes, and she said, "You don't know anything."

"Please tell me what I don't know." There are a lot of things I've wanted to know for a long time, but I don't want to press Zhou Jin.

I can see that he is from a superior background, but how could he be reduced to Xie Zongming's company as a delivery man?

Ye Qing looked at me, took a sip of the coffee in front of her, and said, "Zhou Jin and I are childhood friends, because our two families' businesses are related, whether it is my father or his father, they both wish for us to get married."

She glanced at me, and I saw from it that I was a repulsive third party.

Even when I showed up, they weren't dating.

"Zhou Jin has always liked fine arts since he was young. As a hobby, fine arts is definitely a good choice, so his father let him learn it. However, Zhou Jin hopes to make a living from painting." Ye Qing paused for a moment before continuing, "His family members all hoped for him to be able to study finance, so they forcefully interrupted his art class, and Zhou Jin ran away from home." Ye Qing said those words with heartache.

So it was because he ran away from home that he came to work at Xie Zongming's company.

"He'd been gone for months, and his parents had tried everything to keep him away from home, so they agreed to continue his art studies and were willing to pay him to go to one of the best art universities in the world." Ye Qing said.

I thought back to the day before I went to Zhou Jin's house. He told me that he had already made his decision to not study and stay here forever.

"I thought it was strange at first. Going to the best school to study art was his greatest wish, but he refused until I found you one day." When Ye Qing mentioned me, her tone contained a little resentment.

"How did you find out?" I asked curiously.
