Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

After Mu Tongrui left the hotel, she had lost the mood to play watersports. So she sat under a big tree, enjoying the sea breeze. Qiu Zekai, who had just done surfing, saw her from afar and walked toward her from the beach.

She was lost in thought when Qiu Zekai patted her on the shoulder, which frightened her.

“Why can you walk without a sound? You scared me.”

“My footsteps were so loud. It's because you're too focused on your thought.”

Qiu Zekai sat down next to her. Seeing her looking unhappy, he asked, “Why are you upset? Aren't you happy while traveling?”

“Qiu Zekai, let me ask you, if a man secretly has another woman in his heart, will he still accept a new relationship?”

“It depends on the situation. For example, it depends on whether the woman in my heart is married or not. If she is married, I will definitely stop thinking about her, or if the woman doesn’t like me at all, I will definitely look for a new relationship. It's impossible to remain unmarried for my whole life just because of a woman whom I have no chance to be with, right?”

Mu Tongrui propped her chin on the hand, thinking thoughtfully.

Qiu Zekai bumped her shoulder with his shoulder. “You didn't quarrel with your boyfriend, did you? Where is he? Why are you out here alone?”

“H-He is feeling unwell and resting in the hotel.”

Qiu Zekai didn’t believe it at all, and said, “Tongrui, since we're on the same wavelength, I should tell you something honestly. According to a man’s instinct, I think your boyfriend doesn’t seem to like you as much as you like him, and he seems to treat you quite indifferently. He also very difficult to get along with.”

Mu Tongrui was stunned. Could an outsider who has only known me for a few days even tell that Fu Lingye doesn't like me?

She bit her lip and said, “It's not like that. He is just cold-tempered, but when there are no outsiders, he is very enthusiastic to me.”

“Really? Then I can't tell.”

Mu Tongrui swallowed hard, and hesitatingly asked, “Do you think he and I are not suitable for each other?”
