Chapter 64 - 4 But I Love Him

Ji Naitang really couldn’t get out of bed tomorrow morning. It was already noon when he woke up. He thought somewhat helplessly that he really did seem like a mistress now. He even skipped work so often.

If this continued, would he become a waste? He took a deep breath and rubbed his sore waist. He seemed to already be a waste. He slowly went to wash up and put on his clothes. It was October now. It was fine during the day, but the weather had started turning cold.

He was thinking about what to wear when his phone rang. He went over and looked at the caller ID. His face suddenly changed.

“Mr. Ji, there’s a Mr. Yu Xuan here to see Mr. Qiu. Should I let him go in?”

“Stop him. I’ll be right there.”

“Okay.”

Ji Naitang hung up the phone and didn’t care about what to wear anymore. He grabbed something and put it on. He went to the living room and met Aunt Su. She said, “Little Tang is awake. Lunch is ready.”

“Aunt Su, I’m sorry. I have something urgent to take care of. I won’t eat now.”

“What’s so urgent? You didn’t eat breakfast or lunch. Eat a little before you go out.”

“I’m in a hurry.” Ji Naitang didn’t have time to explain. He went to the road to hail a taxi. But at such an anxious time, he actually couldn’t get a taxi. If it wasn’t because driving would make him think of his childhood, he would really buy a car.

He got a taxi seven or eight minutes later. There was a lot of traffic in the daytime, so it was quite slow driving there. It took more than hour to arrive.

Ji Naitang paid the fare and ran. When he entered the lobby, he saw the familiar Nurse Li there. A man in casual clothes stood next to her.

“Mr. Ji is here.” Nurse Li released a sigh of relief when she saw Ji Naitang. This Yu Xuan was too persistent. She almost couldn’t cope anymore. Fortunately, Ji Naitang was finally here.

Yu Xuan turned to look at him. He was a little older than what Ji Naitang remembered. After all, they hadn’t seen each other in twelve years. He should be thirty-two years old now.

Ji Naitang had gotten rid of the anxiousness on his face when he walked into the lobby. He inserted one hand into his pants pocket and walked leisurely over to Yu Xuan. He smiled and said, “Yo, what a coincidence. I actually meet you here.”

Yu Xuan didn’t care about Ji Naitang’s act. He replied truthfully, “I came here on purpose.”

“Came here on purpose?” Ji Naitang looked around and said, “Mr. Yu, this is a mental hospital.” He pointed to this temple and asked, “Is there something wrong with you here? What a pity!”

“Naitang, I…… !”

Ji Naitang’s face was cold as he reminded, “My last name is ‘Ji.’”

Yu Xuan changed his words. “Mr. Ji, I know you hate me. I also know that I let Nanshu down back then. I’m a coward and never dared to come here to visit him in all these years. I……”

“Then why are you here today?”

Yu Xuan’s eyes were red. “I think about him every day. I think about him whether I’m awake or asleep. I want to see him. But I don’t have the face to see him. However, if I don’t come, I can’t hold on anymore.”

“But he doesn’t want to see you. You should leave.”

“Mr. Ji, I beg you to let me see him. I want to personally apologize to him……”

“Apologize?” Ji Naitang laughed. “Yu Xuan, if you have a problem with your brain, I suggest you go take a number and get a checkup. Do you really not know what this place is? He’s lived here for twelve years. Do you think he still needs your apology? Your apology today is worthless.”

“I’m sorry……” Yu Xuan looked like he was on the verge of collapse. A thirty-two-year-old man crouched down on the ground and is crying in public. Ji Naitang’s eyes were also red. His fists were clenched tightly.

“If you have a little bit of conscience, then scram. Don’t show up again, lest you dirty his eyes.”

“But I love him. In all these years, I still love him. I will love only him in this lifetime.”

“You love him? What qualifications do you have to say that you love him? When he begged you for help back then, what did you do? You did nothing. Because you did nothing, he lost his last glimmer of hope. If you just answered one of his calls at that time, he might not be like this.”

Ji Naitang went over and grabbed Yu Xuan’s collar to pull up him. He enunciated, “So, you are not qualified to say that you love him. You want to see him, right? Fine. I’ll let you see him. I’ll let you see how the man you say you love lives now!”

He let go of his hands and walked to the right. Yu Xuan fell back to the ground and froze for a moment before he quickly stood up and followed him.
