Chapter 251: Chapter 250 You’re Not Worthy Yet Chapter 251: Chapter 250 You’re Not Worthy Yet If Qi Yue had heard these words and felt resentful or accused him, he would have been better off than now, watching her indifferent demeanor, his heart squeezed with discomfort.

If it hadn’t been for seeing today how differently she treated Gu Huai and himself, he might never have spoken these words…

Yet, the hard-earned words he did manage to say failed to provoke any emotional response from her, as if her once fervent affection for him was, to her, not worth mentioning at all.

This fact was something he couldn’t accept…

He couldn’t accept that someone who once only saw him, who was once all about him, had suddenly turned into a stranger.

Unable to restrain himself, Chu Mufan started to explain, “Qi Yue, Song Qiuqiu always scolds me for taking your kindness for granted, but it wasn’t deliberate. We were too young back then, and I just knew you were really nice to me. But at first, I really didn’t know how you felt about me. My feelings for you were purely those between classmates and friends. That led to misunderstandings and I did things that probably confused you further…

I am truly sorry. It wasn’t until you confessed to me that I understood your feelings and realized that… I liked you too. It was just that, under those circumstances where the future was uncertain, I couldn’t respond to you. I couldn’t be with you irresponsibly without considering the consequences…

You like Gu Huai now, so you take his side in everything. I understand.

But I hope you wake up to the reality. With Gu Huai’s prospects, he will definitely stay in A City, and he might even go abroad. Has he considered the future for the two of you? Him being with you now, at this time, is simply irresponsible–it’s clear he’s just playing with you! At least I don’t want to delay you!”

Qi Yue, faced with Chu Mufan’s sanctimonious monologue, hadn’t reacted much until then. Suddenly lifting her eyes, she looked at him with a touch of coldness in her gaze, “Don’t want to… delay me?”

The matter was in the past, and she hadn’t wanted to say more…

Qi Yue faced Chu Mufan with a blank expression and started to speak, “Chu Mufan, don’t portray yourself as so noble, and don’t act like a naive girl who doesn’t know anything about the world.

Moreover, I believe that whatever or whoever I like, I’ve always been brazen about it. Everyone knew I liked you. And you’re telling me you didn’t know? Are you suggesting you have an intelligence problem?

If you really didn’t want to delay me, you should have kept your distance from the start when I first showed you affection and made things clear to me.

Instead, you accepted all the nice things I did for you, did ambiguous things under the pretense of being classmates and friends, even let others misunderstand our relationship, and in the end, you told me that I had gotten the wrong idea, that it was all my wishful thinking…

If you really had any sense of responsibility, any bit of manhood, you wouldn’t deny everything and let others think I’m the only one with unrequited feelings.

Even if you had just rejected me straightforwardly when I confessed my feelings to you, telling me frankly that you were just having fun, I would still respect you as a real man, instead of saying you liked me too but only as a friend… Your double-dealing behavior really forces me to hold back harsh words!”

By the time she reached the last sentence, there was not a trace of warmth in Qi Yue’s tone: “So please, don’t compare yourself with Gu Huai. You’re not worthy.”
