Lin Yu rubbed his temples, his head aching at Su Wan’s reaction.
For some reason, everything was fine at first. How did it suddenly become like this?
This was obviously not what Lin Yu wanted to see.
He continued to guide her patiently. “Su Wan, do you know how much the incident on the Internet has affected you? You’re just pretending not to care. In fact, you care more than anyone else. You’re sad too. I can tell.”
Su Wan suddenly closed her eyes and reached out her hand. She spread it out in front of Lin Yu and stopped him. “Alright, stop talking.”
“Lin Yu, I know better than you how it feels to like someone but not be able to have them. I don’t want you to feel any of it at all.” Su Wan looked at him with a hint of worry and pleading.
Su Wan really didn’t want to see this trend developing.
Lin Yu, on the other hand, was stunned on the spot. He smiled bitterly in his heart. She had liked Jing Chen for ten years and married him as she wished. In the end, she did not love him at all and ended up like this.
How could Lin Yu’s heart not ache?
Lin Yu naturally understood what Su Wan meant. She was doing this for his own good.
But how would Su Wan know how long he had liked her?
Ten years…
He had liked her for a long time.
Lin Yu closed his eyes and was silent for a while. His lips curled into a smile, looking a little casual, but the words that came out of his mouth were like cold knives that hurt to the bone.
“Su Wan, since you know that you won’t be happy marrying the person you like, why don’t you consider accepting someone who likes you? The other choice isn’t impossible, right?”
“Besides, I don’t mind your child. I’ve thought it through. I’ll help you clean up your concerns.”
The indifference on Su Wan’s face cracked bit by bit. She had not expected Lin Yu to say such things. The impact on her heart was too strong. For a moment, Su Wan could not breathe. She held her breath for a full minute.
When the strong heartbeat echoed in her ears, Su Wan finally woke up. She opened her mouth and suddenly smiled. “But my heart aches for you. It’s not worth it for you. Lin Yu, listen to me, okay?”
“…”
When Lin Yu stood up again, he realized that his back was covered in cold sweat.
He didn’t have much of an expression on his face, but Su Wan could still tell that he was sad and upset. She was so familiar with that gaze.
But Su Wan couldn’t compromise. She had to stand her ground.
The more carefree the person who was liked, the more suffering the person who liked them would suffer. There was no such thing as love. It was just a mutual agreement. They were both willing to go through it all.
Lin Yu was indebted to her, she shouldn’t let him suffer.
It was only when she lost Jing Chen in her heart and completely let go that Su Wan had the courage to think about this.
Lin Yu didn’t say anything. He just smiled and said in a comforting tone, “Don’t worry, I’ll help you settle the matter online. It’s not as difficult as you think. It’s up to the person. Wan wan, I’ve always believed that you wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“You’re not like that.”
With that, Lin Yu left and carefully closed the door for her. Silently, the room fell into silence again.
Su Wan let out a long sigh of relief and panted a few times, but she couldn’t stop the tears from flowing. Once the dam broke, she couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Su Wan was more than sad.
She had never done anything to hurt Lin Yu, but she could empathize with him.
But what about Jing Chen? He had done too much.
Now, Su Wan could no longer remember the wonderful days they spent together. She did not expect that one day, she would not be able to empathize with her past self.
Su Wan stood up with a heavy expression. Looking at such a quiet room, she couldn’t stay any longer.
When she got back to bed, she wanted to sleep. She felt sad the moment she closed her eyes.
She was so sad that she could not fall asleep.
This feeling was so oppressive that her head was about to explode. Su Wan suddenly got up and changed into casual clothes. Then, she put on a mask and hat. She even took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on.
She always felt uneasy when she went out alone.
But compared to suppressing her tears, Su Wan still decided to go out for a walk. She didn’t go to a crowded place. She just walked around the apartment building and looked outside.
Su Wan went downstairs. Just as she was walking slowly by the road, a van suddenly sped past her.
It startled her.
