Capítulo 426: Delicate Heart

"That's the best and clean-cut way to turn someone down, no?" He Juan added with a smile, unaware of the devastating impact his callous words had on the boy's heart. "But why are you asking Gege about this? Ah…" a thought crossed his mind and he raised his head from the food to give Mu Yuze a teasing look. "Has someone confessed to our Xiao Ze? Well, just about time. What does the other person like?"

'It's okay,' Mu Yuze told himself again and again, trying to quell the pain. 'You have seen this coming, so there's no need to feel bad. Juan-gege doesn't even know that he is talking about you. He will never cut you off, so why…'

He gritted his teeth as he felt his vision blurred with tears. He desperately blinked them away before He Juan could notice something amiss. "No… there's no such person," he said in a slightly nasal tone, though he could easily chalk it up to his changing voice.
