Chapter 372 Making Shen Youlin Understand
"I...I..."
Shen Youlin struggled to answer Shen Weisheng's question.
What would she have done?
She had already done it.
She did the same as Shen Weisheng's friend.
Her palms were sweaty and her throat was dry as she wondered silently whether Mo Roulan would also hate her if she came to know of the truth one day.
Would she also leave her?
"But he loved him. He should not have been left alone. He loved him so much that he was scared to lose him."
She just said whatever came to her mind.
Yes, she was hiding the truth. Yes, she would feel joy whenever she would get to touch Mo Roulan because the latter think of her merely as a friend.
But did she deserve to be despised by Mo Roulan for all this one day?
Shen Youlin didn't want that.
Shen Weisheng's eyes were gentle and soft as he looked at his sister who was lost in her own thoughts. Updated chapters at novelhall.com
He could see that Shen Youlin was scared. He could see that she was scared to lose Mo Roulan just like the friend of his story lost his dear person.
He looked away when Shen Youlin suddenly turned her head to look at him and told him firmly as if she was trying to defend herself....something she was really trying to do.
"He ...he did all this because he wanted to stay near the person he loves. Would not that person have left him alone if your friend had told him that he ...he was a gay? But he hid the truth...he hid it because he wanted a chance. He wanted to make a place in that person's heart for himself and to do that he could choose this way only. So your friend did the right thing."
Shen Youlin gave all the reasonable reasons.
Shen Weisheng suddenly felt a little helpless. At the same time, he could see that Shen Youlin really thought that she was right but a part of her also knew that she was doing the wrong thing. Now he could also believe He Jian seeing the guilt in his sister's eyes.
Shen Weisheng took back his hand and he was about to step forward to leave the living room when Shen Youlin held his hand suddenly and said
"I think that you are right. Your friend was wrong."
Shen Weisheng seriously looked at Shen Youlin. He could see that whatever she was saying were her sincere words.
She really meant it. He was actually surprised that she realized so early but he was also happy.
He hummed lightly and stepped back as he saw Shen Youlin getting down from the couch. Then she took a step forward to leave the living room when she suddenly turned around and said to Shen Weisheng.
"In fact, you asked me what I would have done. I would have continued to stay beside the person I like but I would not take advantage of his ignorance. I would have maintained my distance and ....about the truth of my sexual orientation...I would have told him that too...when I would have felt ready."
That was what Shen Youlin decided after hearing everything.
She would still stay near Mo Roulan but she would no longer try to steal kisses or touch her unnecessarily.
She would perhaps also feel ready someday in the future to tell Mo Roulan about her sexual orientation.
Perhaps one day...
Thinking this, Shen Youlin smiled lightly as she again turned around to leave.
Standing behind her, Shen Weisheng smiled indulgently. He no longer wished to stop Shen Youlin after she had already said that she would not take advantage of Mo Roulan in the future.
He was sure that she would really not do it if she had said it.
Shen Youlin was just like a child. Shen Weisheng realized. The good thing was that as long as she will realize that she was doing wrong, she will stop doing that.
'She would stay around Mo Roulan but she would not try to take advantage of Mo Roulan by touching her unnecessarily.'
Shen Weisheng texted He Jian the same words.
No reply came but Shen Weisheng knew that He Jian was alright with this setting and he was grateful for that.
After all, he wished that Shen Youlin could stay happy for as long as she could get it from staying beside Mo Roulan.
Shen Weisheng put his phone in his pocket and left the living hall. He did some company work inside his office for almost two hours and then went to his room, not before checking Shen Youlin once. After he was sure that Shen Youlin was deeply asleep, he finally went to sleep inside his room.
