Chapter 482: Five Years On, It’s My Turn to Pursue You (2)

And then, what had happened next?

And then Ding Mengya had become convinced that Nainai was a money-faced person, then helped Si Zhengting hand up an empty college application form without any hesitation.

Yet… even in his sickly state, he had still remembered their pact to study in the same university. So, on the day of handing up their college application forms, he had tried his best to wake up.

Heaven knows how many days he had been sleeping for — he had been in a bad state when he finally managed to wake up.

But he had bitten his lips tightly and had forced his bodyguards to prepare a car for him. He even changed into a new set of clothes, but by the time he had reached the school, the sky had already turned dark. The teachers had most probably handed up all the college application forms to the respective schools.

However, if he had wanted to change anything, it would have been an easy thing to do.

Having reached school, and without having had the chance to look for the school principal, he had first called Zhuang Nainai and had then gone to the school field where they frequently met.

She had stood in front of him and had said, “Si Zhengting, let’s break up.”

At the thought of this, Si Zhengting’s heart tightened once more.

Their youth, the way their emotions had run high… in hindsight, everything seemed so laughable. If he had just hugged her and told her not to break up with him, would she have told him about everything that had happened? Would the misunderstandings between them never have occurred?

But… there were no “if’s” in this world.

He had thought Nainai had had a change of heart. Tormenting himself with their shared memories, with his hate, and with his pining for her, he had suffered for the past five years.

Come to think of it, they had been so childish.

They had both missed out on the past five years. He was no longer able, and no longer willing, to miss out on her once more.

At the thought of this, Si Zhengting regained his composure and decided not to divulge the reason he had fallen sick and how sick he had been. Instead, he blandly glossed over it and said, “… I fell sick, and so I wasn’t able to answer your call. I wasn’t there when you needed me the most, Nainai, and that’s my fault. Us breaking up in that year… was entirely a misunderstanding.”

He had fallen sick?

Zhuang Nainai’s eyes had widened in an instant, and she stared at him in disbelief.

He had been so bland in his description, but to have been so ill that he had been unable to answer a phone call… how ill must he have been?

But what about her?

Her mother had gotten mentally ill after the accident, and she who had been worn out had been unable to find him. At that point in time, the love and persistence they had so confidently declared for each other had been undeniably mutilated by the realities of life.

That was why she had easily believed what Zuo Yiyi had told her, and why she had run to the office to look at the college application forms. That was also why she had brought up the suggestion of breaking up.

So, in fact, the source of all their misunderstandings wasn’t Si Zhengting. It was her.

Their separation five years ago had all been her own doing.

The mistrust they had for each other had started from her.

By now, the shock in Zhuang Nainai’s heart was inexplicable. Staring blankly at Si Zhengting, she felt as if she had suddenly become mute.

On the other hand, Si Zhengting was acting as if he had gotten over everything from the past. Reaching out to pat her head, he said, “I was just bad with words, and that caused us to be how we are right now. But Nainai, I’m willing to change for you. Can you give me a chance?

“Five years ago, you pursued me and I waited. Now, allow me to pursue you.”

It was an emotionally charged statement and wasn’t particularly sweet or romantic, yet Zhuang Nainai’s eyes grew moist and warmth filled her heart.
