98 First Love

Everyone greeted the couple when they transferred to the reception hall of the resort.

Fei Yujin approached Zhou Yiren and Yun Shen with Ren Zhixin.

"Congratulations, Yiren." Fei Yujin said with a bright smile as she raised her glass of wine for a toast.

Zhou Yiren was holding a glass of juice as she raised it as well. "Thank you." After that, she took a sip on her drink.

Ren Zhixin was staring at Zhou Yiren. Why is it that Violet's image was flashing in front of him?

Yun Shen noticed the way Ren Zhixin looked at his wife which made him wrap an arm on Zhou Yiren's waist on a protective manner. "It's been a while since we last saw each other, Mr. Ren. How are you doing?"

Ren Zhixin turned to Yun Shen and gave him a small nod. "Good."

For some reason, Yun Shen reminded him of Luke. Thinking of Luke made Ren Zhixin feel bitter. How could he possibly be in this world?

The two men stared at each other for a while before they finally turned away and looked at the two women standing beside them.

Fei Yujin couldn't help but get worried since she noticed that Ren Zhixin was acting strange. "Are you alright?"

"Yes." Ren Zhixin wanted to try something out that's why when he turned to Zhou Yiren, he smiled at her. "It's nice to finally see you again, Violet."

Zhou Yiren's eyes went wide in surprise when she heard how Ren Zhixin addressed her. This was noticed by Ren Zhixin which made his speculation grow stronger and as it did, he couldn't help but feel the pain in his chest. If Zhou Yiren was really Violet then that means... she's already married with someone else.

Zhou Yiren tried to gain her composure as she held on Yun Shen's arm. "Violet, who's Violet?"

"Yeah, are you really feeling fine, Zhixin?" Fei Yujin asked worriedly.

Yun Shen noticed the uneasiness in Zhou Yiren's eyes which made him warily look at Ren Zhixin. He was suddenly reminded of the vision he saw two weeks ago, he remembered calling Zhou Yiren another name, it was 'Violet'.

"You're Violet, right?" His instincts was getting stronger as he saw how Zhou Yiren reacted. He can only give a pained smile as he looked at her. "It's me... Spade... Spade Bloodwort."

"Y-You're Spade?" She gasped in surprise. Why is he in her world?!

Fei Yujin was confused as she listened to what he said. Why is he saying something strange? Fei Yujin was about to open her mouth to say something when she suddenly recalled what Zhou Yiren told her back then. Wasn't Violet her name when she entered into the game world?

She tightened her hold on Ren Zhixin's arm. Is he someone from the game world? "Zhixin..."

Ren Zhixin looked at Fei Yujin. So she really wasn't Violet. He placed his hand on top of hers before he turned back to Zhou Yiren, "Do you love him? Are you happy with him?"

"Yes... I am..." She said softly as she looked at Yun Shen. "That's why I married him."

Ren Zhixin felt his heart was like being torn to pieces but he could only give her a smile. He can always read through Zhou Yiren and this time, he can see that she wasn't lying. "I see... Congratulations on your wedding, Ms. Yiren."

He was not the type of person to force himself into others when he knows that the person has someone else they love. Back then, he was only able to force Zhou Yiren in making her his fiance since he knows that Zhou Yiren didn't have any feelings for Prince Alyn. He thought that maybe, he can make her fall for him.

He was not blind when he saw how Luke and Zhou Yiren looked at each other, he knows that both of them are in love with each other, he can see it in their eyes. But since Zhou Yiren was trying to ignore her feelings for Luke, Ren Zhixin continued on pursuing her.

It was until he learned about her death. He loves her too much that he thought that living was pointless without her in that world that's why, he took his own life just to follow her to the afterlife.

Now that he was too late, now that she has someone else she loves, Ren Zhixin could only wish for her happiness despite the pain he felt. If she can continue on smiling and if Yun Shen can give her the happiness she deserves, then he will not come in between them.

Ren Zhixin turned away and left them there with a heavy heart.

Zhou Yiren looked at Fei Yujin who was staring at his back. "Follow him, Yujin. He needs you."

Fei Yujin looked at Zhou Yiren, "Was he that man... your favorite character in that world?"

She nodded, "Yes... he is..."

That was all Fei Yujin needs to know. Zhou Yiren already told her everything about the characters she met in that game world, this included Spade and his past. Fei Yujin hurriedly went after Ren Zhixin even if it hurts her to know that she was not the person he loves.

"Why does he know about our dreams?" Yun Shen asked as he looked at Zhou Yiren.

She was about to answer him when their parents suddenly approached them and greeted them.
