Chapter 288: Chapter 289: The Breakup Kiss

"Ah? What?" Song Xiaodong immediately lost his composure and exclaimed, then quickly said, "That’s impossible, even if her acting talent is great, she couldn’t have hidden it from me for so long without slipping up."

"Really, she didn’t know how it happened, but she lost that memory. However, she bumped her head yesterday, and then she recalled the whole incident. She told me in detail about that day last night, much more thoroughly than you did."

"Tell me about it," Song Xiaodong said, frowning.

Miao Xuanxuan then recounted what Miao Qingqing had told her yesterday in detail. Her memory was good, and this matter was particularly important to her, so she recounted every detail Miao Qingqing had mentioned very clearly.

Song Xiaodong was stunned as he listened. He had talked about the incident from two years ago with Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing, but he had only given a rough overview, never revealing the true details.

Yet now, the details Miao Xuanxuan reviewed were far too detailed, even including some things he had neglected himself; these were certainly things that only those involved would remember so clearly.

After Miao Xuanxuan finished speaking, she suddenly felt a bit more relieved and said, "Dongzi, I know you like me, and I like you too, but with you and Qingqing like this, how can I be with you again?"

"But this..." Song Xiaodong’s mind was a mess in an instant.

"There are no buts. Qingqing also said she’s starting to like you more now, and remembering the incident from two years ago, she really wants to be with you now, so... we have to break up."

Song Xiaodong scratched his head vigorously, distressedly saying, "Xuanxuan, I’m really confused right now. All I know is that it’s you I like now. Although my relationship with Qingqing is also not bad, it’s nothing compared to how much I like you."

Miao Xuanxuan placed her hands on Song Xiaodong’s face, speaking softly, "Dongzi, to hear you say this makes me satisfied, and it’s not in vain that I’ve liked you. But for me, you’re important, and my sister is also important, just like how my sister and I rank in your heart. If you really had to choose between me and Xiaoru, who would you choose?"

"That..." Song Xiaodong was suddenly left speechless; it was definitely a dilemma, but if he really had to choose one, he would probably still choose his sister, Song Xiaoru.

Miao Xuanxuan’s expression softened further, saying, "Yes, it’s a kind of blood relation. I really can’t give that up, and think about it, my sister looks exactly like me, with no difference even in the smallest detail. When you’re with her, when you kiss her, you could just pretend it’s me you’re kissing. When you touch her, you could pretend it’s me you’re touching, even when it’s time for intimacy, it could be like it’s with me."

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "But after all, she is her and you are you; you two are different individuals."

"I know, but I really have no choice. If my sister knew I liked you, she would definitely make the same choice. And besides, you’ve already been intimate with her. If you were with me, we would surely be intimate in the future too, and that would feel so strange to me," Miao Xuanxuan said.

Song Xiaodong felt that Miao Xuanxuan was right, but also felt something was wrong about the whole situation, leaving him completely confused.

"Dongzi, my sister might look a bit tough, but she truly is a good girl. Aside from that one time two years ago, I can assure you, she hasn’t dated any other guy, nor even had any excessive intimacy with another man. You really should cherish her. I will be watching you, and if you dare treat her badly, I won’t let it go," Miao Xuanxuan said.

"Xuanxuan..." Song Xiaodong took a deep breath and said, "I really can’t figure this out right now, so I can’t make a decision. Let’s not rush into a decision on this, okay?"

Miao Xuanxuan smiled warmly and said, "This decision was well thought through, and even if you are unwilling, you can’t change my mind. Don’t worry, I, Miao Xuanxuan, can pick up and let go. I will still treat you as a friend. Oh, that’s not right, you are going to be my brother-in-law now. As your little aunt-in-law, I will still tease you."

Song Xiaodong could see from Miao Xuanxuan’s eyes a reluctance, a pain, but more than anything, a determination.

"Xuanxuan, have you ever thought, if you and I were to break up, could I really be at ease being with your sister? How heavy would my heart be? How much would I be taking feelings for granted?"

Miao Xuanxuan pinched Song Xiaodong’s nose and said, "I know, but you can gradually cultivate feelings, right? I believe my sister will gradually attract you, and besides, you have to take responsibility for my sister, right? As a man, it’s not right if you don’t take responsibility after being with her for the first time."

Song Xiaodong’s mouth twitched slightly and he finally said helplessly, "Alright, Xuanxuan. Let’s do this, let’s give everyone some time, we all calm down, and then decide, okay?"

"Alright, that works too." Miao Xuanxuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and added, "About this matter, just don’t ask Qingqing. She didn’t want me to tell you. She’s a bit, well, tsundere. If she knew you already knew, she would be too embarrassed to see you and would think she forced you to take responsibility."

Song Xiaodong could only smile awkwardly and said, "I just won’t say anything then."

"Good boy." Miao Xuanxuan praised, leaned her face forward instinctively wanting to kiss Song Xiaodong, but stopped herself halfway and moved back.

Song Xiaodong suddenly pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips fiercely.

"Hmm..." Miao Xuanxuan’s eyes widened, and she pushed hard against Song Xiaodong, but couldn’t push him away. She soon stopped struggling, closed her eyes, and passionately responded.

However, when Song Xiaodong’s hand moved towards Miao Qingqing’s chest, Miao Xuanxuan suddenly pushed him away, crossed her arms over her chest, shook her head vigorously, and with tears streaming down, she choked up and said, "Dongzi, we can’t do this anymore, this is sorry to my sister, it’s making me upset."

Song Xiaodong felt an overwhelming surge of pity and quickly said, "I’m sorry, Xuanxuan, I was too impulsive."

"Um..." Miao Xuanxuan wiped her tears and said, "Then consider this our farewell kiss. Dongzi, would you please leave? I need some peace."

"Alright then... If there is anything, call me."

Left with no choice, Song Xiaodong had to leave.

Miao Xuanxuan sat on the sofa, unmoving, for a long time. Breaking up with Song Xiaodong was incredibly difficult. Despite having said it, the excruciating pain she felt didn’t allow her to persist, so in the end, she chose to give it a cold treatment, separating from Song Xiaodong for some time, hoping that their feelings might fade.

"Dongzi, I’m sorry, for my sister’s sake, I had to do this. As long as you and my sister can be happy, even if I have to just watch your happiness, I will be content."
