“Didn’t I say I’d do it during winter break?” Xu Youyou asked in return. She paused for a moment before she asked, “What kind of painting do you want? Landscape? Portrait?”

Fu Jianchen replied without hesitation, “A self-portrait of you.”

“Why do you want that?”

Fu Jianchen touched his nose and tried to hide the guilty expression on his face as he said, “I’m not good with portraits so I want to see yours. I just want to learn.”

“But I’m not really good at portraits either.”

“Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just do as I say,” Fu Jianchen said with a hint of impatience.

“Oh.” Xu Youyou nodded and continued painting.

Fu Jianchen wanted to talk to her a little more, but he was afraid of disturbing her. What if she became impatient and chased him away? After all, he hated it the most when he was disturbed while he was painting or drawing.

Fu Jianchen looked around and saw a book for customers to leave comments. He picked up the pen lying on the side and flipped to an empty page before he began to sketch.

Bo Qi carried Qin Siyu to the underground parking lot and stuffed her into his car.

Qin Siyu wanted to get out, but Bo Qi quickly locked the doors. She turned to look at him and said furiously, “Bo Qi, do you have nothing better to do?”

“That’s right,” Bo Qi replied with a self-deprecating smile. He felt like he had lost his mind as well. Ever since Qin Siyu left, he had been waiting for her to return to him and beg him to give her another chance, waiting for her to say she regretted leaving. In the end, the first time he saw her after their breakup, she was playing an exciting game with another man in Blue Temptations.

Qin Siyu was speechless. She really did not know how to scold him. In the end, she said, “Open the door. I want to get out of the car.”

“I’ll let you out when we’re done talking,” Bo Qi said, “You know I always keep my word.”

Qin Siyu inhaled deeply. Since she could not avoid him, she might as well face him directly. “Alright, let’s talk.”

Bo Qi had a lot of things to say, but when faced with her fearless attitude, he was suddenly rendered speechless.

“Hurry up and say it,” Qin Siyu said impatiently as she turned to look at him. She looked beautiful even when she was angry.

Bo Qi thought about their days together. They were rather happy, and they were also very compatible behind closed doors. His Adam’s apple bobbed before he asked, “After you left, did you have sex with another man?”

Qin Siyu was stunned by this question.

Just when Qin Siyu raised her hand to slap Bo Qi, he grabbed her slender wrist. No matter how good his temper was, he would not let her beat him over and over again. “Qin SIyu, are you going to hit me again?”

Qin Siyu flung his hand away. “Bo Qi, if you have a mental illness, go to the doctor. Please don’t pester me like a lunatic.”

Bo Qi knew she had misunderstood the meaning behind his words. Hence, he suppressed his temper and explained, “What I meant was… I’ve never done it with another woman since you left…”

The unsaid sentence after that was ‘I only want to do it with you.’

Bo Qi felt it was ridiculous. He had lost all interest in other women. It was as though he was addicted to Qin Siyu. Sometimes, he wondered if she had poisoned him.

“I don’t care if you do it with another woman!” Qin Siyu said. She felt rather surprised that he did not find another woman after so long. In any case, it had nothing to do with her whether he found another woman or not.

Bo Qi took a deep breath and asked with a frown, “Why?”

“What?”

Bo Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at her skeptically as he asked, “Why did you leave? Don’t tell me you really believe I found a filthy woman outside? I don’t believe that you’d believe such a thing.”

It was just an excuse for her to leave him.

Qin Siyu lowered her gaze; her thick and long eyelashes hid the disappointment and gloom in her eyes. She looked out of the window before she replied, “There’s no why.”

Bo Qi frowned and was about to speak again when she said, “I don’t want to wait anymore.”

“What?” Bo Qi did not understand.

Qin Siyu turned and looked at the cigarette box on the console. She licked her lower lip before she said, “Give me a cigarette.”

Bo Qi looked at her in shock. “You even learned how to smoke now?”

Qin Siyu did not wait for his approval. She reached out and took a cigarette out from the box before she brought it to her lips. A cold smile appeared on her face as she said, “You think I just started smoking? No, I just never smoked in front of you.”

Bo Qi continued to look at her in shock.

Qin Siyu exhaled a puff of smoke. Her posture was languid and seductive as she said, “I’m not who you think I am. I hate wearing white dresses and having straight black hair. I don’t particularly like small animals, and I’m not very affectionate. I like smoking, drinking, and even fighting. You’re also not my first love.”

Qin Siyu had long forgotten her first love.

Bo Qi still did not recover from his shock as he asked, “You, you’ve been faking it? Why?”

He had been deceived by her all along. Why?

Qin Siyu smiled faintly as she said self-deprecatingly, “Why do you think? Wasn’t it because I liked you and wanted to hook up with you?”

“Hook up with me?” Bo Qi recalled their meeting and the ambiguous period before they got together. After they were together, she truly met all his requirements of a perfect woman. He really did not expect that the perfect woman he found was not real.

“Since you managed to hook up with me, why did you leave?” Bo Qi asked. His voice was a little hoarse. He had trouble accepting this. He was not angry at this time, but he was puzzled. Since she had deceived him, why did she not deceive him for a little longer? If she had maintained her act, he would not get bored of her at all.

A hint of impatience flash in Qin Siyu’s eyes as she said, “Didn’t I say it earlier? I don’t want to wait anymore.”

Bo Qi still did not understand. “Wait for what?”

Qin Siyu fell silent. After a long time, she said lightly, “I don’t want to wait to get married.”

Qin Siyu had wanted to marry him. She even thought about having his children and forming a family of their own. She had probed his attitude about marriage as well. However, his opinion about marriages was that they were a grave. Only a fool would dig his own grave.

Bo Qi was stunned. He knew Qin Siyu had the intention of getting married, but he did not want to get married. He felt that it was good enough for them to be together and enjoy themselves. Marriage was just a piece of paper, and it was not important.

“I know you’re against marriage, but I’m not,” Qin Siyu said after taking another puff of the cigarette. The smoke made her look ethereal at this moment, making her look even more charming. She continued to say, “I want a family. I want a husband, and I also want to have children. However, you treated me like a bedmate whom you get along with. You won’t be able to give me what I want.”

Qin Siyu had once thought that perhaps her love could change Bo Qi’s mind. Perhaps, he would marry her once he saw how much she loved him. However, reality showed that love could not influence his thoughts and opinions. She was a smart woman. Since there was no hope with Bo Qi, she decided to cut her losses. She did not want to waste time. There were many men in the world. Things did not work out with Bo Qi, but she could just find another person who shared the same thoughts as her.
