Evershining Stars, Everlasting Love novel Chapter 28

I tucked my hand out of fatty’s slowly.

“Fatty...”

But he stopped me before I got to continue:”I’m not fat anymore, Nance. I’ve become what you like: a man of great accomplishment! Why are you still ignoring it?”

It confused me, for I have never asked him to change anything for me. It was true that he’s no longer the chubby bloke he was, but that still didn’t mean anything to me. I have Vince’s child in my body already, I’m all Vince’s.

I left him because I didn’t want Qiang to use him to cover his debt, nor did I want my families to be harassed by Qi. But I’ve never thought about being together with any man other than Vince, not even my classmate who used to pursue me back in school.

“Zhiyu, I’m pregnant.” I said and looked at him coldly and noticed a slight disbelief and shock blinked in his eyes, but soon disappeared.

“You are turning me down because of this?” Said Zhiyu, frowned and looked at me sternly.

“I don’t love you, don’t you understand? Otherwise I would’ve been together with you with or without the changes you went through. We were classmates and, I don’t want things between us to be embarrassing. I’m happy for what you had become and achieved, but we’re just classmate, that’s it.” I replied, left him no chance of saying anything else and got off the car.

I just wanted to be left along and spent some time to go through these days after leaving Vince, but Zhiyu just showed up out of nowhere.

I didn’t want to interfere with Ying’s life either, though her child got his hand burnt in my place. The trouble in my life seemed to be endless.

Zhiyu didn’t visit me in the next few days since I made my point clear before, but we ran into each other a few times in the hospital.

And the way he looked at me made me a bit nervous.

On the day Ying’s son recovered and left the hospital, he was there to take them home, and took me home as well. He stopped me when I got off the car and said:”I’m heading back to Fu City tomorrow, will you go with me?”

I hesitated and stayed there for a few seconds, then said:”Yes.”

Cause he might think that I’m just trying to run away from him if I turn him down again.

I didn’t really want to go if it weren’t for mom calling me the other day that dad’s situation got worse.

Maybe it was also because a slight hope of that man I held.

The next day Zhiyu picked me up at my apartment. He kept talking about the years happened on him in these years and put on some music, but I was just not in the mood.

I kept looking outside the window and slowly fell asleep.

We were in a service area by the highway when I woke up. He put the jacket of his suit on me and was smoking. He turned around, and dropped the cigarette on the ground hurriedly and then got back to me.

I loosened my seat belt and handed him the jacket. It was the end of fall, his face seemed pale from the cold.

“Keep it,”He said, warmed up his hands by breathing out on them,”Do I smell bad?”

“No.”

“I’ve been driving for quite a while and got a bit tired, we’ll be on our way soon.” He said, eyes fixed on me all the time. His emotion seemed to have synced with mine, and it looked like that he was trying his best to make me happy.

“Fatty, have you had any girlfriends these years?” I asked, and he was surprised.

“Well, uh, there were girls chasing me, but no.” He stuttered out his answer as put his hand on his head.

“I’ve never slept with Jerry in those years. He said that I must have been, well, used, since I’m a model. And there seemed to be a bet he had with someone that he won’t touch me until five years after our marriage.” I said as I smiled out of bitterness, for the three years of me being controlled like a pet. But I talked to Zhiyu about this all out of a sudden, maybe because of our relationship of old classmates.

I took a looked at him. He was in a rumination, looked frozen.

“What?” I said and nudged him gently.

“How did you get pregnant then?” He said as he shook his head.

“We divorced, I do whatever I want after it.” I smiled and said.

“You married another man? Or is it the boyfriend you mentioned?” He suddenly got emotional and grabbed me by my shoulder, shook me back and forth. It kinda made me dizzy, I looked at him strangely as I place my finger on my temple.

“Fatty!” I shouted, and he got his hands off me.

“So...sorry.” He seemed lost, after a while he spoke again, sounding angry:”That’s...a pity, Nance, but you’re always my Aphrodite, whatever happens.”

“Aphrodite?” I was flattered,”Thank you, fatty. But have you ever seen a Aphrodite leading a wretched life like me?”

“You’re my Aphrodite of grace and confidence, always.” He said, eyes blazing with enthusiasm.

That brought a strange feeling in my heart.
