Chapter 656: 642, Erase him from the bottom of your heart (3) _1 Chapter 656: 642, Erase him from the bottom of your heart (3) _1 After hanging up the call, she sent a message to Quan Jingwu and then got up and left.

Around ten o’clock, the cafe was still somewhat quiet.

Jian Qing found a seat by the window and ordered a glass of warm water.

She casually flipped through a magazine, the soothing piano music enveloping her ears, inevitably relaxing her mood.

Suddenly, the wind chime hanging on the door made a “ding-dong” sound.

Jian Qing looked up and Zhan Mingyan was walking in through the door.

There weren’t many people in the cafe, so Zhan Mingyan spotted Jian Qing straight away and quickly walked over to sit across from her.

Jian Qing looked at her, even her delicate makeup couldn’t hide her slightly reddened eyes, a hint of darkness flickered in her gaze.

“What would you like to drink?”

After thinking about it, she said, “A black coffee.”

Jian Qing ordered a black coffee for her, and then propped her chin on her hands, her gaze falling back on her, “Why did you suddenly want to drink black coffee?”

She remembered that she said she hated the bitter taste of black coffee.

Zhan Mingyan bowed her head without speaking.

“Feeling bad?” Seeing her dejection, Jian Qing asked softly.

She remained silent until the waiter brought the coffee.

She looked at the steaming coffee on the table and slowly began to speak.

“Jian Qing, I ran into Bai Jue yesterday.”

As expected, it was about Bai Jue.

Jian Qing’s eyes flashed with understanding, “And then?”

Zhan Mingyan picked up the coffee, took a sip, the bitter taste blossomed on her taste buds, spreading all the way to her heart.

“I confessed my feelings to him.”

“Huh?” Jian Qing was taken aback. It took her a few seconds to react.

Did things progress that quickly between the two?

Zhan Mingyan lifted her head, her smile was forced, “Aren’t you surprised?”

Jian Qing nodded slightly, “In front of me, you don’t have to force yourself to smile.”

Zhan Mingyan gave a bitter smile, “Jian Qing, I didn’t know that truly liking someone would feel like this, filled with anticipation and heartache.”

“Did something happen?” Did that unreliable Bai Jue do something to hurt this girl?

“He rejected me.” Zhan Mingyan’s voice quivered with raw heartbreak, her eyes glistening with unshed tears.

Jian Qing’s eyebrows raised slightly, she had seen Bai Jue that morning, and he hadn’t seemed like anything had happened at all.

“What did Bai Jue say?”

“Sorry.” As she uttered these words, her lips curled up in a sarcastic smile.

It was all her wishful thinking. Even if he rejected her, she couldn’t blame him, could she?

It was true what they said, the one who falls in love first, loses.

In this love story that had not yet begun, she lost completely and utterly.

“Mingyan!” Jian Qing looked at the shimmering tears in her eyes, not knowing how to comfort her.

Zhan Mingyan tilted her head back to fight off the tears and took a big gulp of coffee.

“Jian Qing, maybe you were right. The wind has no direction, it doesn’t stay.” She laughed at herself.

Bai Jue was like a gust of wind, suddenly appearing in her world and then just as suddenly leaving.

Jian Qing listened to her quietly, acting as her confidant.

“Jian Qing, I don’t think I can hold on any longer.” Forget about her initial strong insistence on never giving up.

If he hadn’t rejected her outright yesterday, she might have been able to hold on. But he didn’t leave her any hope at all.

If it weren’t for Han Yue’s call yesterday, perhaps she wouldn’t have known that he was leaving M Country today. Perhaps she wasn’t even considered a friend in his heart.

He had clearly said he didn’t want her, so why should she continue to bother him? In the end, maybe he would even grow to hate her.

In that case, she’d rather let go bravely now than let him despise her.

“Have you thought it through?” Jian Qing asked softly.

Zhan Mingyan nodded, “I have. He and I are from different worlds. I can’t keep shamelessly hanging onto him. Maybe I’d just end up annoying him.”

Jian Qing didn’t try to dissuade her further. In matters of the heart, outsiders can’t intervene. She knew Bai Jue’s temperament all too well. If he rejected Mingyan and then went back to M Country without hesitation, it meant he wasn’t ready to settle down with someone.

If she encouraged Mingyan to keep going, she might end up hurting her more in the end.

“Jian Qing, when is he going back to M Country today?” After thinking about it, Zhan Mingyan finally asked the question.

Jian Qing sighed softly, “He took a morning flight, he’s been gone for a while now.”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Mingyan bowed her head, her expression melancholic.

Forget it, it’s better that he left.

He’s gone and she can’t keep beating herself up about it.

One day, she’d have to erase him entirely from her heart.

She raised her hand and waved, “Waiter!”

The waitress came over with a gentle smile, “How may I assist you?”

“Bring me ten of your most popular cakes.” Zhan Mingyan pointed to the display screen above. The delicate little cakes looked very pleasing to the eye.

“Alright, please wait a moment.”

Jian Qing watched as she ordered so many cakes at once, but didn’t stop her. She knew that right now, she needed an outlet to vent her feelings.

In no time, the waitress brought the cakes over one by one.

The empty table was soon filled with cakes of all flavors and shapes. The sight alone was enough to make anyone’s mouth water.

Zhan Mingyan picked up a fork and began to eat a piece of cake with big bites.

“Jian Qing, why aren’t you eating?”

She swallowed the cake in her mouth and beamed.

Jian Qing gave her a faint smile, picking up a fork and eating with her. However, she stopped after only two bites.

After becoming pregnant, her taste buds had changed. She couldn’t eat more than two bites of the cake she used to love, before feeling overwhelmed.

“Eat slowly, don’t choke.” Seeing Zhan Mingyan stuffing cake into her mouth non-stop, Jian Qing advised gently.

Zhan Mingyan shook her head, “It’s okay, you don’t have to worry about me. The cake is really good.”

With that, she stuffed more cake into her mouth.

After finishing one piece, she picked up another and began eating again, her lips coated with cream.

She lifted a forkful of cake to her mouth, at that moment, her eyes reddened and tears continuously fell down, leaving faint traces across her cheeks.

She sniffed, sending a large mouthful of cake straight down.

“Mingyan, stop eating.”

Jian Qing handed her a tissue, speaking softly.

Zhan Mingyan took the tissue and roughly wiped away her tears, “Jian Qing, the cake is too sweet, too sweet…”

Jian Qing nodded and took the fork away from her.

“It’s too sweet, we should stop eating, okay?”

She shook her head and picked up a new fork, “No, it’s because it’s sweet that I want to eat more.”

With that, she picked up another piece of cake and tucked in again.

Jian Qing sighed but didn’t stop her again.

After eating several pieces of cake in a row, Zhan Mingyan finally stopped.

She grabbed the now cold coffee and gulped it down. Placing the cup back down, her face suddenly changed and she got up and ran towards the bathroom.

Seeing this, Jian Qing stood up and followed her.

Arriving at the bathroom, Jian Qing heard the sound of vomiting coming from inside.
