Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Under the Rain

Chapter 88 Under the Rain

Li Yue didn't hesitate to leave the party. Being close to him was a mistake from the start. She was too stupid! She affected the plot too much! Li Yue started walking back to her hotel. It was already ten in the evening and not many people were on the streets. She needed time to clear her mind. Biting her lip, Li Yue remembered the look on Mo Li's face.

She lowered her head and decided to take off her heels. What was that face? He was clearly in a daze and yet, she didn't miss the pain in his eyes. It was as if she could hear his heart breaking into small little pieces.

Clearly, she felt nothing towards him. But why did seeing him like that felt so wrong? Li Yue gave a ridiculed smile to herself. She was really stupid, she wanted to slap her own face.

She closed her eyes as she tried to remove his face from her memory. It was best to kill that emotion as early as possible rather than letting him suffer once she left this world. Mo Li was still young, he should find someone better, someone that he could have a future with. Someone capable of feeling emotions, someone capable of giving him what he deserved.

Li Yue was so engrossed in her own mind that she didn't notice the black car that stopped next to her.

"Yue." It was Mo Li. He stepped out of his car and grabbed her arm. "What are you talking about? What nonsense are you talking about?" He turned her towards him, meeting her cold eyes. "You—"

"You can't love someone like me."

"Why?"

She stared at his demanding eyes. "Because I can't stay with you."

"Why? What else do you want? I am leaving Mo Entertainment! We can travel the world together! You can do your art anywhere! We can—"

She lowered her gaze and avoided his eyes. "Please stay away from me. We have no future together."

"Then tell me why? Give me an answer!"

What answer? How was she going to explain the current circumstances to him? In the end, Li Yue just shook her head and refused to answer. Then she felt water droplets in her arms. Soon, the silent droplets descended, the sound of the rain drowned the suffocating silence between them.

"Look at me." He lifted her chin. "Tell me… why?"

Li Yue gulped as she stared at his brown eyes that were framed by his curled eyelashes. Slowly, the rain drenched her face. She opened her mouth to say something yet ended up closing it. What was she supposed to say? What the hell is she going to say? "I can't stay with someone I don't love."

"Rubbish!" Mo Li said. "Love is not something that you feel at first sight! You learn to love! You live to love! Stop lying." His rain-soaked face was serious, his hair draped over the perfect bone structure that he was so proud of. "Answer me." She heard him beg.

For a few seconds, Li Yue felt her hands shake. She clenched her hands into tight fists until her knuckles turned white, her nails scraping her palms. She looked at him. Even the rain was not enough to wash away the painful expression that he had plastered on his face. For a few seconds, Li Yue wanted to tell him that she was taking back her previous words. And yet she couldn't.

"You shouldn't have promised something that you cannot do." She heard disappointment in his voice. "I won't force you." Mo Li said, pain filled his eyes as the corner in his lips tugged downwards. He continued to stare at her face, hoping to get at least a small reaction from her eyes. There was none.

Mo Li closed his eyes for a few second before he lowered his lips to capture hers.

For a few seconds, her world stopped.

As the rain hammered down in the street of Yin City, two individuals kissed. The drops of rain ran down their faces, as they tasted each other's lips. Li Yue felt him pull away, he ended the kiss as abrupt as he started it. Looking into his eyes, Li Yue knew that Mo Li must have realized the absurdity of pursuing someone who didn't like him. Still, the pain in his eyes was apparent as he stared at her.

Jaws clenched, Mo Li let go of her arm, he let go of her chin and took a single step back. He stared at her face for a few minutes, as if silently embedding her face into his mind. Then he turned his back away from her and walked back to his car without sparing her another glance.

Under the rain, a woman stared at the car which was getting farther and farther away from her. She gulped and started walking back to her hotel. For a few seconds, she felt heavy. She dragged her feet towards her hotel, her head down, shoulders slumped. Li Yue didn't realize that she had been biting her lips until she tasted the rustic taste of iron in her mouth. She stopped walking and stared at the large hotel name in front of her.

Mo Li gave up. Just like that. But wasn't this what she wanted? Shouldn't she be happy now? She looked at the dark skies as she welcomed the raindrops on her face. Her lips lifted into a smile full of ridicule.

She knew she made the right decision and yet she couldn't stop herself from feeling the endless darkness, the loneliness. She opened her eyes, eyeing the dark skies that had become darker. The sound of the rain still continued and yet, Li Yue felt it wasn't as magical as it used to be. Her chest was heavy. It was as if she was drowning, slowly bobbing her head to survive but an unknown emotion is telling her to let go and stop it. Stop struggling. What was the point of struggling? Li Yue knew she is going to leave anyway.

Biting her lips, Li Yue convinced herself that it was for the best. This is for the best

"Bitch! You need to die!" the shrill voice broke the silence. Li Yue immediately turned towards the woman holding a gun towards her. She widened her eyes. "You bitch!"

*BANG*

Li Yue didn't have time to open her mouth as the loud sound of the gun echoed. She immediately closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to assault her senses. Was this the end? Li Yue asked the robot.

"What will happen if I die this time?"

Silence.

Her robot left her. She knew the robot must have given up because of her stupidity.

"AHHHH!" the shrill voice echoed again. Li Yue frowned as her eyes flew open. She… She was safe? That was when she realized that she was safely tucked in someone's embrace. This smell..

"Mo Li!?" Li Yue immediately realized what had happened. Her mind turned alert. "Mo Li!" She got out of his embrace, panic apparent in her eyes when she saw blood— a pool of blood that wasn't hers. "Mo Li!"
