Love O2O (Onscreen 2 Offscreen)

Chapter 33

I'm persistent.

When I want something, I'd do anything to get it.

When I want to do something, I won't stop until I've done it.

And when I like someone, I'd pursue her no matter.

Once my heart has decided, there's no backing out.

And I've decided I'm still very much in love with her.

So even if it hurts knowing that she belongs to another man now, I'd endure it.

Even if it means lowering my pride and letting myself be a second option, I'd be willing.

If it means I can still love her.

"Don't tell me you set this up by yourself?" She sounds amazed as she looks around the huge tent.

"I had help." I admit as I pour her a hot drink.

She looks at the cup and smiles. "Hot chocolate?"

"I think you've had enough alcohol for the night."

She bows her head in embarrassment.

"About that, I'm really sorry for calling you..."

"Don't be. I'm glad you did."

She sips her drink and looks out.

"I'm glad I did too."

We drank in comfortable silence. It's as if just being together was enough.

"I really thought I'd be spending my birthday alone."

I listen quietly, thankful that she's opening up to me again.

"I got so pissed when I found out he was going away. Abroad. On my birthday."

Seeing her distraught, I want to punch that scumbag so much

"But I guess that's how it is. It's work after all. I can't expect him to miss his big event for my silly birthday."

I missed my press conference because of you.

"Shuang, can I ask you something?"

She looks ahead. "Hmm?"

"Why are you with him?"

She turns to me all of a sudden, her expression changes swiftly.

"If you're just going to question my relationship with Zhang Heng, I better go."

She makes a move to stand but I stop her.

"Stay. I won't ask anymore."

She stops, as if in deep thought.

"Hao de but I'll only stay if you promise that you won't bring it up again."

"I won't."

I stand up and make my way out of the tent.

"Where are you going?" She asks.

"Just stay there. I'll be back."

I rush to the car and pick up a bag. I enter the nearest comfort room and change my clothes.
