"I'm listening", Lina said.
The barista brought their coffees over. The scent of the sweet mocha, together with the strong, bitter scent of the regular coffee, stirred a feeling they hadn't felt in years.
No matter how sweet the mocha smelled, the bitterness of Gu Yuxuan's coffee completely overshadowed it.
Gu Yuxuan gazed at the person in front of him while a moment of doubt suddenly grew in his heart. Confronting her about the truth was supposed to be easy, but why did he feel so reluctant to do it? Why did the person he thought he knew, turn out to be completely different?
"Gu Yuxuan", Lina called. "Did you change your mind?"
Gu Yuxuan swallowed hard and then looked down at the cup in front of him. The steam danced above the milky coffee. He lifted his finger and tapped on the side of the cup.
"Lina", he started. "If I could choose again, I'd choose to have never met you."
Lina bit her inner lip, fighting against the words that cut through her chest.
