Murder the Dream Guy

He was a tall and thin guy who wore a golf cap on his head and was standing alone while blocking half of the entrance. He had a beard trimmed neatly on his chin and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses added a touch of elegance to his rugged face. His formal and expensive clothes made him look like someone who had just returned from overseas at one glance.

Fang Yuanyuan clenched her fingers tightly; she was trying hard to contain the trembling feeling that seemed to come from the depths of her soul.

For someone whom she was too familiar with, she might really recognize him even if he turned into a heap of ashes.

She looked at him…

No, she was not looking at him while he entered the restaurant. She directed her gaze at the elegant woman who appeared and was holding his arm.

Tian Danyue also took on an entirely different look from her usual sexy fashion by wearing an elegant and simple dress. When matched with Huang He’s clothes, both of them looked like a match made in heaven.

When this thought popped out of her head, Fang Yuanyuan looked as if she suffered a hit in just a second.

A surge of burning rage rushed up to her head, and it seemed to spread.

She contained it.

However, that was only in an instant.

The process kept repeating. Huang He and Tian Danyue passed by her table when the waiter led them to theirs.

“I’ve long heard about this restaurant that their food tastes very good even to the picky eater. You’ve been having a poor appetite lately, so I brought you here to try the food… You are too used to eating too much spicy food that your stomach couldn’t take it anymore. It’s time to change your taste…”

Tian Danyue’s soft and slow voice had a smiling tone, and her words drifted past Fang Yuanyuan’s ears.

Fang Yuanyuan looked at Tian Danyue from her seat.

She happened to see that the latter’s eyes were smiling as though she was smiling from her heart.

Both women met each other’s gazes in mid-air for a second while Tian Danyue looked away with a proud smirk on her face. When they walked farther and farther away from Fang Yuanyuan, the voice of Tian Danyue was still lingering in her head like needles.

What an awful feeling!

Her chest felt suffocated and breathing was difficult. Her eyes reddened instantly, and her eyes were welling with tears that she couldn’t seem to control even if she kept her head down while she ate her food in an attempt to hide them…

Those feelings were impossible to suppress.

“My dear, what happened to you?”

Qing Dai was sitting beside Fang Yuanyuan. She turned to look at Fang Yuanyuan when she sensed that she was behaving a little abnormally.

“Oh, I’m okay.”

Fang Yuanyuan wiped her eyes. She could already imagine how distressed and embarrassed she would look. In order not to let them worry about her, she took a deep breath and showed a bitter smile. “I think some chili oil might have gotten into my eyes…”

“… Ah, you should be more careful.”

Fang Yuanyuan raised a hand to wipe her eyes again.

That felt stinging.

Her tears started flowing down her cheeks uncontrollably.

The chili oil did not go into her eyes. She cried as she was agitated.

Qing Dai patted Fang Yuanyuan’s back. She felt that this Miss Editor might have been too pampered since she was tearing a bit too much. Although that was what she thought inside her head, she kept consoling Fang Yuanyuan. “Your eyes must be very uncomfortable. You better hurry to the restroom to wash your eyes…”

“Mm.”

Fang Yuanyuan wiped her eyes once again and apologized to everyone. “Please continue to eat, I’ll be back soon…”

She was glad that she thought of such a good reason since she could get some time alone by going to the bathroom to “heal” her wounds and calm herself down… it was perfect.

She was worried that she couldn’t endure the ordeal if she didn’t get some time alone.

Huang He had suddenly appeared before her.

Not only did she have to pretend that they were no longer an item.

She had to watch him go out with another woman like a pair of lovers.

Fang Yuanyuan felt that her heart was in pain.

She was helpless about the situation and was about to go crazy; that feeling felt worse than death.

Tears flooded her eyes while she headed straight to the restroom with a blurred vision.

She turned on the water tap; she placed both her hands on the basin while her head hung really low. She was sobbing loudly under the sounds of the water… her shoulders and her body was slightly quivering while she cried.

Someone came inside the restroom.

Then that person glanced at her, washed her hands, and left.

A few more women came and went.

There was a moment of silence in the restroom and the door was opened again.

Someone entered the restroom and stood beside her.

Fang Yuanyuan did not look up, and she was not at all in her best mood

Come on, just leave after washing your hands. Why can’t I even have a quiet space to cry my heart out? Fang Yuanyuan thought.

Someone passed a piece of paper napkin to her.

“Don’t cry!”

The voice sounded low as if it was a sigh.

It shocked Fang Yuanyuan and felt her body stiffen at the moment.

After a moment’s pause, she suddenly lifted her head. “You…”

This was the female restroom.

Why was he there…?

She looked around and did not see anyone else in the restroom. She looked at him; her eyes were red from all the crying, and she was biting her lower lip. For a moment, she was at a loss of words.

Fang Yuanyuan was in fact, a rather delicate girl. Although sometimes she would be willful and stubborn, she was still a sensible girl. Hence, when she saw Huang He and Tian Danyue together, even though she was upset that she was about to flare up, she knew that she could only try to endure her anger and unhappiness. Finally, she let out her emotions by hiding in the restroom.

“Aye!” Huang He put his hands on her shoulder to make her face him. Then he wiped her tears gently. “Don’t cry.”

He repeated the same words he said earlier.

He didn’t know what else to say!

Fang Yuanyuan stared at him with her big, teary eyes while she continued to sob. She pouted and grabbed the piece of paper napkin he was holding before her. She used it to wipe her tears, then cleared her nose. Her voice sounded muffled and her tone obviously sounded hoarse.

“You better leave quickly. There might be someone coming in the next moment.”

After a pause, she sobbed again, and in an even lower volume, she whispered. “If she saw you here with me, you’re finished…”

“She’s actually outside the restroom now!” Huang He looked at her then suddenly took her waist and pulled her to him before lifting her chin. “Don’t cry! Promise me that and I’ll leave.”

His face was just in front of her.

Although he had dressed up so differently that he seemed unfamiliar, Fang Yuanyuan could still feel that he was familiar.

“You’re in a daze again.” Huang He was worried. “I can’t be at ease when you’re like this.”

Fang Yuanyuan felt that her head had gone blank. “I…” she sobbed. “I didn’t want to cry at all, but my brain refused to listen to me as though it had been hit, and I feel so lost. I wanted to call out to you and pull you back to me from her. I wanted to tell everyone that you’re my husband… not hers… Boohoo…”

Huang He listened to her quietly.

Fang Yuanyuan sniffled loudly and looked at him.

“Huanghuang, am I really useless? I can’t seem to control myself at all, can I?”

“Silly girl! You’re already very strong. You’re stronger than all the women I’ve met.”

“Really?”

“When have I ever lied to you?”

“… You often lie to me.”

“…”

Huang He didn’t have it easy either. His heart was already all clasped.

However, he had to control himself, especially when Fang Yuanyuan could not.

Otherwise, both of them would hug each other and cry a bucket together, right?

He gave her a gentle hug. “I got to go now. Be good and take care of yourself.”

“I know…” Fang Yuanyuan’s crying tone was becoming clearer that even her lips were quivering. “I’ll miss you. I miss you everyday… Huanghuang, come back to me fast… and give me a wedding ceremony…”

Huang He stared at her deeply; his gaze looked as if it was burning. “Yuanyuan…”

His voice started to sound hoarse.

That startled Fang Yuanyuan a little. She looked straight at him, sniffling her nose as she persuaded him. “I’m in the wrong… you better hurry and go.”

She raised her hand to cover her mouth while she let her tears fall freely, but she did not make any more noise.

The veins on Huang He’s arm protruded slightly. He pulled her back to his arms and suddenly kissed her eyes.

He had now cleaned her tears.

His breath and his boiling hot lips felt warm as it touched Fang Yuanyuan’s eyes that just cried…

She hugged him back, then she stood on tiptoe and kissed him back…

Huang He started to pant and gasp.

Knock! Knock!

Someone was knocking on the door.
