How Could You Bear to Leave Me?

Xie Fei and Zhou Yizhan were childhood friends, inseparable and able to talk about anything.

Everyone around them thought they were a couple, including both sets of parents.

Then one day, Xie Fei got a boyfriend named Shen Qi. He was exceptionally handsome, with a clean-cut air. Though still young, he was already a somewhat well-known architect.

Zhou Yizhan said nothing, offered a cool congratulations, and then quite naturally asked if she wanted to go home together later.

Shen Qi had heard that they were close, but didn't seem to mind. He smiled warmly and bent down to kiss Xie Fei on the cheek.

That evening, Zhou Yizhan came over to Xie Fei's house for dinner as usual. Xie Fei's mother welcomed him warmly.

Xie Fei sprawled on the sofa playing a game and greeted him without a shred of decorum.

Zhou Yizhan watched her for a moment. Then, without warning, he reached out, gripped her wrist, leaned down, and kissed her on the cheek.

Xie Fei jumped. The screen immediately turned gray, and she looked up at him in disbelief.

Zhou Yizhan, however, remained perfectly composed. "What's wrong?"

"Why... why did you kiss me?"

"Your boyfriend can kiss you, but I can't?" He looked into her eyes, his gaze clear and his tone calm.

Message: True love is priceless.
