Chapter 122: I Really Can’t Live Without You
Half of Xie Miaohan’s face turned red from the slap.
He lowered his head, staring blankly at the wisteria flowers.
Hearing those words made Gu Huaiye’s heart ache slightly. He picked up the luggage he had left in the living room.
“The crab soup is ready; I won’t stay to eat with you. Don’t hurt yourself for my sake. Someone like me isn’t worth it. Forget about me and find someone who truly treats you well.”
Gu Huaiye turned and took a step, but suddenly felt resistance on his leg.
He looked down and his breath hitched.
Xie Miaohan had actually knelt down, hugging his left leg tightly with both arms.
“What exactly do I have to do for you not to leave?”
“Miaomiao, let go.”
Xie Miaohan shook his head painfully, crying as he spoke, “I won’t. I know you won’t come back again. Why are you abandoning me? What exactly did I do wrong? Even if you sentence me to death, you should give me a reason.”
“You did nothing wrong. It’s just that my obligation is fulfilled, and I have no reason to stay.”
“Why is there no reason? Let me repay you, okay?” Xie Miaohan lifted his face, tears falling incessantly, his lips trembling violently. “I promise, I really promise, I won’t do anything to disappoint you again. Don’t go, please? I really can’t live without you.”
Gu Huaiye closed his eyes, his tone somewhat heavy.
“Let go.”
“Brother, I beg you.”
Xie Miaohan pressed his face against Gu Huaiye’s leg, assuming a humble and fawning posture.
He knew this was completely undignified, much like a stray dog.
But he was about to lose Gu Huaiye and didn’t know what else to do.
“Brother, if there’s anything you dislike about me, just tell me, and I’ll change.” Xie Miaohan began to ramble incoherently. “Are you angry that I locked you up this morning? I’m sorry; I won’t dare do it again next time. How about you call the police and have me arrested? As long as your anger subsides, I’m willing to do anything.”
“Miaomiao, don’t be like this.” Gu Huaiye said, his heart aching. “Get up quickly. An Alpha shouldn’t kneel so easily like this.”
“I won’t get up. I’ll get up whenever Brother forgives me.”
“You…” Gu Huaiye looked down, helpless and angry. “Have you forgotten that you already agreed to let me go?”
“Brother always breaks his promises, so what if I break mine once?” The light in Xie Miaohan’s eyes vanished. Like a puppet on strings, he murmured, “I just want to live with you, depending on each other forever. Is such a wish very difficult?”
He wasn’t greedy.
He didn’t dare beg for anyone’s love.
He only hoped not to be abandoned by others anymore, to be firmly chosen by someone just once.
Was such a request excessive?
“Brother, I really can’t live without you…” Xie Miaohan muttered to himself. “I can never catch up to you. Is it because I’m not good enough that you all always want to leave me?”
“Miaomiao, don’t be like this. Get up first.”
Xie Miaohan seemed not to hear Gu Huaiye’s words and continued talking to himself. “Brother, I really don’t want to be all alone anymore. It’s too painful; I can’t bear it at all.”
Gu Huaiye’s heart hurt terribly, and his lips gradually turned pale.
He couldn’t stay any longer; he had to leave quickly.
He could see Xie Miaohan’s excessive dependence on him. If he found out he didn’t have long to live, he feared Xie Miaohan would lose the will to go on too.
As long as Xie Miaohan could keep living, he was willing to play the villain once.
So Gu Huaiye uttered a very cruel sentence.
“If you keep begging like this, I will only hate you more and more. Xie Miaohan, don’t make me regret knowing you.”
Xie Miaohan froze and couldn’t help loosening his grip.
Gu Huaiye pursed his lips and left the house with flustered steps.
Xie Miaohan remained kneeling on the spot, not getting up for a long time.
He didn’t dare watch Gu Huaiye’s retreating figure.
It was exactly the same as in the countless dreams he had had.
Xie Miaohan had always thought he was chasing after Gu Huaiye. Only at this moment did he understand that it wasn’t a chase.
Instead, he had been abandoned.
So no matter how he chased, he could never catch up.
After Gu Huaiye left, Xie Miaohan lived like a walking corpse.
The crab soup was finished.
When he ate it, it was already the second day; it had long gone cold and even smelled off.
Xie Miaohan ate it clean with a numb expression. By the afternoon, he was vomiting in the bathroom until his face was pale.
He knew this was the last meal Gu Huaiye would make, and there would never be another chance.
Sitting on the cold floor, Xie Miaohan couldn’t help laughing out loud.
“Brother, I’m so useless. That’s why you hate me so much, right?”
Xie Miaohan felt as if he had become an Omega marked by Gu Huaiye. Losing the other’s scent made him anxious and pained, to the point of losing the will to live.
He immediately stood up and walked to Gu Huaiye’s room.
He wanted to open Gu Huaiye’s wardrobe and find a piece of clothing with the other’s scent.
But seeing the wardrobe already empty left him dazed for a long time.
So Gu Huaiye hated him this much.
He wasn’t even willing to leave a single item behind.
At night, Xie Miaohan went to the convenience store to buy something and ran into Jiang Zhuoqing, who was preparing for a party.
Xie Miaohan’s disheveled appearance made Jiang Zhuoqing almost fail to recognize him.
It wasn’t until Xie Miaohan had paid and walked to the door that Jiang Zhuoqing suddenly ran up and grabbed the hem of his clothes.
“Miaohan, it really is you. How did you become like this?”
Xie Miaohan didn’t even want to look at him and said coldly, “Let go.”
Jiang Zhuoqing refused to let go and continued, “Where is your brother? How could he take care of you like this? Miaohan, you must stay away from that old man; he has dirty thoughts about you.”
Xie Miaohan suddenly smiled and finally turned to look at Jiang Zhuoqing.
“I actually wish he did, but unfortunately, it’s just wishful thinking on my part.”
“You…” Realizing the two seemed to have quarreled, Jiang Zhuoqing’s brow couldn’t help but show delight. “Miaohan, come to my house. You haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll have my chef cook for you.”
“No need.” Xie Miaohan pulled his clothes free.
Jiang Zhuoqing bit his lip and unwillingly blocked Xie Miaohan’s path again.
“Miaohan, I really like you. From the moment you helped me out of that situation at the freshman orientation, I’ve liked you.”
Xie Miaohan’s beautiful eyes held no warmth. He curled his lips into a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. “If it weren’t for the fact that Brother likes kids who are popular, sunny, and obedient, I wouldn’t have bothered with you lot.”
Under Jiang Zhuoqing’s shocked gaze, Xie Miaohan scoffed, walked around him, and left.
