As he approached her, Luo Sang turned around. She was wearing light makeup and a cherry blossom pink lipstick that he loved. “What are you doing here all dressed up? What, are you trying to seduce me with your beauty? I’m not going to forgive you so easily. I’m not a superficial man,” Nian Junting said harshly.

Luo Sang hadn’t even said a word yet. She was both tickled and angered. She was tickled because he was complimenting her in a way. Alright, she hadn’t dressed up for nothing, then. He was still so spiteful with his words though, it was evident that he hadn’t done any self-reflection on his part. “If you’re not going to speak nicely to me, I’m going to take my leave.” Luo Sang turned towards the staircase.

Before she could walk away further, Nian Junting turned her around by her shoulder. “Are you leaving because of the way I’m talking to you, or is it because Yi Jingxi is back in your life again? Are you losing your patience with me? Look at how viciously you bit me!” He waved his injured arm in front of her. It had only just scabbed up after two whole days. He was furious. How was Yi Jingxi better than he was? How could she be so blind? She should really get treated for her poor taste in men.

Luo Sang looked at his hand. She felt guilty, too. She hadn’t expected to bite him so hard, but the moment she thought about how he partied the night before, she felt less guilty about what she did. “I bit you because you were being unreasonable. It has nothing to do with Yi Jingxi.”

“You know it yourself.” Nian Junting smiled coldly at her. “You’re unloyal.”

“…”

Luo Sang was speechless. “Do you still want to spend Christmas Eve together? If not, I can just leave right now.”

“Yeah, I guess you’d rather spend the night with Yi Jingxi, am I right?” Nian Junting glared at her and said in a low tone, “Xu Luosang, I’m telling you right now, if you leave today, don’t ever come and look for me again.”

Luo Sang felt a pang of pain in her chest. Her throat and nose were instantly all choked up. “I don’t understand what I have done so wrong.”

“You and Yi Jingxi… were hugging each other in school,” Nian Junting said through gritted teeth. “You let him put his arms around your waist. You let him hold your hands. I did the same, but you bit me so aggressively.” Nian Junting pulled out the photos from his pocket and threw them at her. “Look at it yourself. You’d better give me an explanation.”

Luo Sang looked down and she was shocked. “Who gave these to you?”

“How would I know? Someone sent them to me,” Nian Junting said before Luo Sang picked up the photos and threw them at his face.

“Nian Junting, is my character so questionable in your opinion? How can you believe someone else over me?” Luo Sang was furious. “Let me tell you, a few days ago, Shui Chang pushed me onto the road, and Yi Jingxi pushed me aside before a car could hit me. This photo was taken when he helped me up. I was in a lot of pain then, so I didn’t manage to push him away immediately. The last photo was taken when he tried to stop me from leaving, and that’s when I got into an argument with him.”

“Really?” Nian Junting was stunned. “You’re not lying to me?”

“One day, if another woman stumbles into you and appears to be hugging you, am I allowed to misinterpret the situation?” Luo Sang asked him.
