Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 560: Whitewash
Jian Rou smiled again and said, "You said so. It's not that I don't want to talk to you today, but you said you don't want to talk to me anymore. As for tomorrow, it's hard to say what will happen to us."

Nie Yangwei didn't hear the hidden meaning in Jian Rou's words, so he told her the exact time and location, and reminded her, "Just don't be late tomorrow!"

Jian Rou said: "Don't worry, I won't be late for such an important matter tomorrow, and I hope you can do the same."

So, on this day, Jian Rou appeared in the woods on time, holding a jar of wine in her hand. Nie Yangwei was not late either. Before he arrived, he never thought that what was waiting for him was Jian Rou's words like "From now on, we should keep the proper distance" and "It's much happier to be ordinary friends". Unexpectedly, he quickly became angry and slapped Jian Rou twice.

After Jian Rou cleaned up the broken pieces of the wine jar and said, "These are all your own imaginations. I have never thought about it this way," he still wanted to keep her, so he said, "I am overthinking! I shouldn't think too much!"

Jian Rou said, "Did you hear what I just said? Did you understand?"

"What?"

"None of this can be repeated or undone," Jian Rou repeated.

"No, it can be saved!" Nie Yangwei said.

"Relationships are a matter between two people. Whether they can be saved is not up to you alone to decide." Jian Rou said with tears still flowing.

"So, it's up to you. Promise me that I won't be rude to you anymore, okay?"

"How dare you hit me! Unless a person is seeking death, it is absolutely impossible for her to continue developing a relationship with a person who hits her and then claims to love her. Violence is something that will happen again once it starts. As long as it happens once, we must break up, otherwise, the victim will suffer terribly in the future. I am not a person who seeks death, and I don't like being abused." Jian Rou said.

"I understand what you said. I have also heard that this is usually the case, but I am a special case. I am different from others. After I hit you today, I already regretted it. How can I do something that makes me regret again? Impossible!" Nie Yangwei said.

"Can I believe it? Will I believe it? What you regret is not hitting me, but that your actions have prevented you from getting what you wanted. You are always thinking about yourself." Jian Rou said.

Nie Yangwei felt that her words touched his heart, and he felt deeply hurt, but he could not admit in front of her that he regretted not getting what he wanted, so he said: "What can I do for you to believe me? You have to know that I hit you because I love you and I care about you!"

Jian Rou wanted to use force against him after he slapped her twice. She knew that she was more flexible than Nie Yangwei in fighting. If she really used force, Nie Yangwei might not be her opponent. However, she was influenced by Jian Liang's flexible way of dealing with people since she was a child, so she had a high tolerance and would not use force if she could. She had been forbearing before, but the longer she forbeared, the more unexpected her outburst would be. She knew that she could find a chance to punish Nie Yangwei in the future, so that he would not know who did it after he was punished, but she didn't want to do that anymore. She was so angry that she couldn't bear it anymore after hearing him whitewash the violence in the name of love as reasonable.
