CHAPTER 654: CHAPTER 636: AO CHEN VS HUO QI 2

Ao Chen had always considered himself debonair in his relationships, offering the utmost respect to his partners, whether they were coming together or falling apart.

In the past, his friends had never spoken up for his lovers, but Huo Qi...

His own friend actually told him not to bother him anymore.

Ao Chen suddenly felt abandoned.

When had he, Ao Chen, become so undesirable that people detested him?

"Davis, do you really think that when Huo Qi and I were together, I never contributed anything?"

Davis paused for a moment, then said, "Not at all, but we think you didn’t put in as much as Huo Qi did."

"On what basis do you think that?"

Davis, seldom seeing Ao Chen so agitated, realized why he was so angry and immediately softened his tone, speaking slowly.

"Ao Chen, deep down, you know it too, don’t you?

You grew up abroad since childhood, and your way of thinking is inherently different from Huo Qi’s; your backgrounds are too dissimilar;

In the country where you now reside, isn’t the tolerance for same-sex lovers not as great?

When Huo Qi fell for you, we were all surprised and felt that you were different for Huo Qi, and of course, Huo Qi was different for you;

After all, we had never seen you chase anyone like that before and thought that you two would last a long time;

In truth, that is what we all hoped for;

But Ao Chen, the circle you used to live in was too comfortable, so comfortable that you could do whatever you wanted,

In the past, it was your lovers who pampered you, even if they were younger, they would indulge you, but Huo Qi was different from your previous lovers;

You know this very well; otherwise, why were you drawn to Huo Qi’s unique demeanor?

Could you let go of your pride and use all of your dating experience to charm and seduce Huo Qi? Eventually leading Huo Qi into a relationship?

And, haven’t you realized? All your relationships didn’t last long, no more than three months, but think about it, how long were you and Huo Qi together?

Was it several three months?

At the end, when you broke up, you were actually indignant and didn’t want to break up, did you?"

This question made Ao Chen suddenly want to hang up the phone. When they broke up, he had raised an eyebrow, embodying an unapproachable air, wanting to see Huo Qi’s unwilling sad face, but he ended up disappointed.

Huo Qi just looked at him calmly, his gaze darkening indiscernibly. He had sought him out for three days, only to ask once, "You said you wanted to break up, were you serious?"

What did he say at that time?

He smiled frivolously, wrapping his arm around a new fling, naturally curly-haired, with eyes somewhat resembling Huo Qi’s, "Huo Qi, can’t you understand? I want to break up with you, am I serious?"

But at that time, he was actually very clear, if only Huo Qi had said, "Don’t break up, I don’t want to break up with you, can’t we just stay together?"

He wouldn’t have broken up; he just wanted Huo Qi to relent once, to lose composure once.

But he never expected that Huo Qi’s bright eyes would dim briefly, then he simply nodded at him, turned around, and walked away.

Just like that, they lost contact forever.

For a long time, he was haunted by nightmares of such a moment, with Huo Qi coldly looking at him, saying, "Ao Chen, I don’t want you anymore."

Every time, he was awakened by the nightmare, then he would smoke all night until dawn.

Strangely, although both were in the same city, they consciously avoided all possible encounters. For years, they never ran into each other in New York.

Until this time, back in his home country, Huo Qi returned and, amazingly, Ao Chen bought the house Huo Qi once lived in, still a good friend of his disciple.

Thus, the emotions he had been trying to suppress were uncontrollable once he realized the house was Huo Qi’s; he felt Huo Qi’s presence in every corner.

Then, he couldn’t help but spend more and more time thinking about Huo Qi.

He couldn’t sleep at night, nor could he have a peaceful rest.

He realized... quite clearly... that he had been regretful for a long time.

He didn’t want to break up with Huo Qi at all; he was afraid of losing face, wanting to see Huo Qi relent for him, to see how much he cared. But these tests had truly cost him Huo Qi.

He vividly remembered, the day Huo Qi left, he hadn’t gone out. He had locked himself alone in his apartment, drinking gloomily all night.

He smashed the liquor cabinet to bits.

He was like a madman.
