"You don't have to wait for me anymore."

[Shuwei]

He stared at the appealing food in front of him. Yet he did not feel satisfied. His mind was full of Jiaxin's disappointed and confused face.

His heart was breaking. He could feel it.

[Flashback]

"May I know who is Zhang Shuwei in your class?"

Shuwei looked up, only to see a tall guy asking politely who is Zhang Shuwei. Feeling funny, he replied that he was whom the guy was looking for.

He could still remember the shock on the stranger's face.

And he still could remember the cold conversation between the two of them.

"Erm, so... you are Zhang Shuwei... oh..."

"Yes. May I know...?"

"Oh! I am Xie Kunsheng, Xie Kunda's elder brother. I suppose you know him right?"

"Kunda... yes I do know him. He's a nice friend." Shuwei smiled.

"And you know Jiaxin don't you?" Shuwei nodded.

"I was thinking if you know that Kunda like Jiaxin a lot? He even drew a portrait of her... and from what I know, you and that girl have been going quite close recently."

"But Mr. Xie, I feel..."

"I mean, sorry if i offend you, but... don't you want Jiaxin to be happy? Kunda can definitely give her whatever she wants... but Shuwei... pal, you know you..." The voice trailed off as Kunsheng glanced in the direction towards Shuwei's numb legs.

Shuwei got the meaning immediately.

"Please go. I wish to be alone now."

"Shuwei pal, please think carefull..."

"Please go now. I mean it. Please."

Kunsheng had no choice but to get out of the classroom.

Shuwei gritted his teeth as he crumpled Kunsheng's namecard in his hands.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He jolted himself back to reality.

...

...

He banged his fists against the wall. Why did he have to suffer all this?

"I thought I found hope."

"I thought I had Jiaxin."

"I thought hope was here"

"Yeah, indeed. It was."

"But now, it's gone."

"I am sorry, Jiaxin."
