Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Huo Wen’an’s smile was full of helplessness, ”You really are very clever.”

Xu Xingguang suddenly spoke, ”I also know that you’re planning to leave Cangshan Town.”

This time, Huo Wen’an couldn’t even muster a smile.

He frowned and said to Xu Xingguang, ”The three-month deadline is almost up. Divine Concealment Island should be in chaos. I need to go back and see what those clowns will do when I’m too sick to stand.”

Xu Xingguang instantly understood Huo Wen’an’s intention. ”I see, you want to go back and sort out the mess.”

Huo Wen’an said, ”That’s just one part of it.”

”Then, what’s the second part?” Xu Xingguang asked coldly.

Huo Wen’an felt a bit despondent, he said, ”I don’t want you to see me become more monstrous and ugly day by day. I want you to always remember my best self.”

He had seen Xiahou Huai Gui’s ghastly appearance, neither human nor ghost; he knew he would become just as hideous.

He also knew that Xu Xingguang wouldn’t break up with him because of that, but he didn’t want to face Xu Xingguang in such a state.

His pride wouldn’t allow him to appear before Xu Xingguang like that.

”Alright.” Xu Xingguang quickly accepted Huo Wen’an’s arrangement.

Just when Huo Wen’an was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Xu Xingguang say, ”Since you want to leave, then this kiss just now will be our breakup kiss.”

Huo Wen’an’s eyes suddenly turned dark, like a stormy deep sea, capable of swallowing everything.

Just a moment ago, they were lovers indulging in a passionate kiss, and in the blink of an eye, he was dumped.

Huo Wen’an couldn’t react in time.

”Why?” Huo Wen’an couldn’t accept it.

Xu Xingguang kicked open the car door, standing outside looking down at Huo Wen’an inside the car.

Xu Xingguang said, ”I can understand your thoughts, I’m willing to respect you, and give you your dignity. But I am your girlfriend, did you consider my opinion before making your decision?”

Disappointedly glancing at Huo Wen’an, Xu Xingguang pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

A moment later, she came back carrying a few pots of Ice Crystal Grass seedlings.

Placing the seedlings on Huo Wen’an’s lap, Xu Xingguang said matter-of-factly, ”I called Ye Mingluo, he’ll be here to pick you up in a while. The Ice Crystal Grass is for you, as a breakup compensation.”

”The breakup fee is paid, let’s part ways on good terms.”

Huo Wen’an: ”...”

As Xu Xingguang turned to leave, Huo Wen’an grabbed her wrist. ”Are we really breaking up?” Huo Wen’an hadn’t fully processed the situation, feeling that Xu Xingguang was lying.

Xu Xingguang looked back at Huo Wen’an, she said, ”You like me because of those childhood experiences. But Huo Wen’an, I don’t even remember those childhood memories.”

”I told you, I’m superficial; I chose to date you because you fit my aesthetic perfectly.”

”But when you made decisions, you never considered my thoughts. This relationship isn’t enjoyable. You should be grateful; if not for your looks, I wouldn’t bother to say another word to you right now.”

The more she spoke, the clearer Xu Xingguang became.

She had lived through ten lifetimes, not without encountering people who moved her heart. But she feared that immersing herself in love would make her forget her original intention to return home, so she ruthlessly rejected those suitors.

A person like Huo Wen’an, who acted willfully and didn’t keep her in mind, was not important enough for her to be reluctant to part with.

Pushing Huo Wen’an’s hand away with force, Xu Xingguang said leave as she turned.

Huo Wen’an watched Xu Xingguang’s resolute back, and as he breathed, all his internal organs ached with sour pain.

Ye Mingluo arrived at Cangshan Town close to eleven o’clock.

When he arrived, Huo Wen’an was sitting under the eaves with a pale face, staring blankly at the pig playing with cobblestones in the neighboring yard.

”Have you lost your mind, sitting here in the cold wind watching pigs instead of resting at night!” Ye Mingluo quickly pulled Huo Wen’an up.

But Huo Wen’an asked him, ”Why is there someone like her in this world? She changes her mind faster than flipping a book; one moment deeply kissing with me, the next wants to break up.”

Seeing Huo Wen’an like this, all of Ye Mingluo’s anger dissipated.

He sat down on the floor and asked Huo Wen’an, ”Did you and Xu Xingguang date?”

Huo Wen’an nodded.

”Why the sudden breakup?”

Huo Wen’an said, ”Because I decided to go back to Divine Concealment Island to wait for death.” After a brief pause, Huo Wen’an added, ”Before making this decision, I didn’t consult with her.”

”Oh, so it means you acted on your own, without considering her feelings. To put it simply, she feels you don’t respect her. You’re a couple; before making major decisions, you should have discussions.”
