On my birthday, Braden left me for the 99th time to chase after his suicidal elusive ideal. I informed the system, "I'm giving up on this mission. I'm exhausted." For a full twelve years, I pulled out all the stops to warm Braden's heart, but I never succeeded. The system told me that if I died in this world, I could return to my original world. The first time, I cut my wrists in the bathroom. Braden kicked the door open and rushed me to the hospital, accusing me of playing the victim for attention. The second time, I swallowed an entire bottle of sleeping pills. He burst in at the last moment, cradling me in his arms and sobbing, saying he realized his mistakes. But wait. There was still a third and fourth time to come.
Chapter 1
On my birthday, Xie Rongyu left me for the 99th time to find the one that got away, who threatened to end her life.
I informed the system, "I'm giving up on this mission. I'm exhausted."
For twelve long years, I had tried every possible way to warm Xie Rongyu's heart, but it was all in vain.
The system told me that if I died in this world, I could return to my original one.
The first time, I slit my wrists in the bathroom. Xie Rongyu kicked the door open, rushed me to the hospital, and scolded me for playing the victim to seek attention.
The second time, I swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. He broke in at the last moment, holding me and crying, admitting his mistake.
But don't worry.
There will be a third and fourth time.
On my birthday, Xie Rongyu finally had some time to spend with me.
Just as I was about to cut the cake, his phone buzzed.
"Let me take this call, " he said, flashing a smile that still held traces of tenderness.
I nodded, watching him pick up the phone.
"Hello?" I heard Gao Ting's voice on the other end, filled with panic and tears.
"Rongyu! Mingwei is threatening to jump off the building! She's emotionally unstable and insists on seeing you. No one can get close to her... "
The phone crackled with sharp noises, followed by Xue Mingwei's hysterical cries.
"Rongyu... Are you with Shen Zhiyuan? Have you abandoned me?"
Her voice was piercing, as if it could shatter eardrums. "I knew it... I knew that wretched woman... "
Xie Rongyu's face turned pale instantly. He spoke frantically into the phone, "Mingwei, calm down, I'll be there soon... "
I instinctively grabbed his wrist, "Rongyu, the Xue family has professional help available at all times, and their security system... "
Xue Mingwei suddenly screamed, and the sound of glass shattering came through the background.
"Why did Shen Zhiyuan take you away? Today marks our fifteenth anniversary of knowing each other!"
On the phone, Gao Ting's voice rose sharply, "Is Shen Zhiyuan stopping you from coming? Mingwei is about to die, and she still... "
"Enough!" Xie Rongyu frowned, his tone displeased. "Mingwei is in real danger now!"
But he softened his tone immediately, reaching out to touch my face.
"Please understand, I'll be back soon."
I turned my head to avoid his touch.
Gao Ting's voice came through the phone again, "Rongyu, hurry up!
Mingwei is already at the edge of the rooftop! She said... she said if you don't come soon... "
Xie Rongyu's eyes turned red.
"Zhiyuan, we'll talk about your birthday later. Mingwei is more important now. If anything happens to her, I'll never forgive myself."
He rubbed his forehead wearily, "I promise, after this, I'll spend quality time with you."
I sneered, "That's what you said last time, and the time before that."
"This time it's real."
He grabbed my shoulders, but his eyes kept darting to the door.
"I swear, once Mingwei is stable, we'll go on a romantic getaway... "
Before he could finish, angry curses from Gao Ting erupted over the phone.
"Shen Zhiyuan, you shameless woman!
Why do you have to antagonize Mingwei at this moment?"
This was followed by violent coughing. "Rongyu... I... I feel so dizzy... "
"Mingwei! Hang in there!"
Xie Rongyu shouted into the phone, losing all his usual elegance and composure.
On the other end, Xue Mingwei's heart-wrenching screams were followed by a heavy thud.
Gao Ting's voice was urgent, "Mingwei has slit her wrists!
Blood is everywhere! You need to come quickly!"
"Rongyu... save me... " Xue Mingwei's voice suddenly weakened.
Xie Rongyu took a deep breath, "Stay home, I'll be back as soon as I'm done."
As the door slammed shut, I heard myself say, "If you walk out now, it's over."
The only response was the "ding" of the elevator descending.
"System, " I stared at the mess covering the table, "I give up."
There was a time when he would feel guilty all night for breaking a promise, rushing back just to apologize.
When did even pretending to care become too much of a bother for him?
