"It's rare for him to be able to keep his composure when he meets me." Su He bitterly smiled and said seriously.
"Why is he so self-aware?" Ou Ziyang asked with a smile. It had to be said that Xiao Yiran's abnormality was because he cared too much about Su Wanzheng.
"Because I know he doesn't like me." Su Wangzheng smiled and then calmly said each word.
"What kind of hatred is this?" Ou Ziyang shook his head and sighed. This was what they called 'enemies don't gather together, right?'
Not wanting to continue this topic, Su Wangzheng looked at Ou Ziyang with interest and asked, "You're pretty much aware of the grudge between us, but what exactly is the grudge between you and your brother?"
"Did you see that?" Ou Ziyang calmly asked. In reality, he didn't expect to be able to hide the truth from Su Wanzheng. Because from the moment he asked her to attend the banquet, he intended to confess everything to Su Wangzheng.
"No, I guessed it." Su Wangzheng confidently answered. What she meant was that not only had she seen all the phenomena in the banquet, but she had also guessed the whole story. This was probably why Ou Ziyang wanted to bring her to this banquet. Because this family was too problematic, too full of stories.
"So confident? "Alright, since you've guessed it, I'll tell you." The corners of Ou Ziyang's lips curled up, and he laughed as he spoke.
"The grudge between you and your brother is because of your sister-in-law. Zhang Yuhan. " Su Wangzheng looked at Ou Ziyang and said each word seriously.
"Pfft." Hearing Su Wangzheng's straightforward answer, Ou Ziyang couldn't help but laugh, and then he replied, "You're right."
"You like your sister-in-law." Su Wangzheng said indifferently.
"That's right again." Ou Ziyang could not help but sincerely admit that Su Wangzheng was very smart. Although she did not go into detail, each of her words was centered and directly hit the nail on the head.
"So you can be considered to have run away from home. And what you didn't expect is that you actually met a woman who somewhat resembles your sister-in-law. " Su You looked at his zither and continued to speak calmly. Even if this matter had something to do with her, she still maintained her calm mind.
"All right." Ou Ziyang looked at Su Wangzheng's confidence and sighed, explaining, "But I need to explain, in my heart, you are definitely not my sister-in-law's substitute."
"It wasn't even in the beginning?" Su Wangzheng asked with a smile on her face. She knew herself well. She had also coincidentally learned quite well in psychology.
"Anyway, it's because you two are similar that I noticed you at first glance." When Ou Ziyang saw Su Wangzheng's question, he knew he could not hide it from her, so he calmly replied.
"At least what you said was the truth." If I guess so much, would you be willing to tell me about your matters? " Su Wangzheng asked Ou Ziyang with a smile.
"Must you know?" Ou Ziyang probed.
"You've already been hiding this from me for three years, and you still want to keep hiding it? "If you want to continue hiding it, you won't want me to go today, right?" Su He asked with a smile as he looked at Ou Ziyang. It was unknown if it was because he had been in contact with Ou Ziyang for too long, but she could always tell what was on his mind. It was as if today, if Ou Ziyang did not intend to tell her the truth, she would have been able to tell it. Why would he bring her with him today? It made her suspicious.
Ou Ziyang immediately fell silent. This was what Su Wanzheng wanted, to understand everything about him.
"It's alright, then I can ask Chun Xiao. I expect she'll be willing to tell me. " Su Wangzheng looked at Ou Ziyang and threatened him.
"Let me say it. It's actually a very old story. " Ou Ziyang bitterly smiled, and then he began to tell a distant story, "Zhang Yuhan and I were high school classmates, and we spent an entire three years of high school together. At that time, we were at the same table, spending our days together, and many things happened. I grew to like it. I killed her. Or the students thought we were born to be a pair of princes and princesses. However, I don't know if she likes me or not. Because I never asked her, or dared to.
On the day before graduation, I took her to my house. Actually, it wasn't the first time she came to my house. However, that day was a bit special, because it just so happened to be my brother's day. At that time, he was in college and would only go home during the holidays.
That's the side. I thought it was nothing. But not long after, Zhang Yuhan told me that she didn't like me, that she liked my brother.
I was crazy at the time. I didn't believe it at all. We've been together for three years.
Then she told me about a time when she went home and met a couple of people. Big brother helped him. She had been searching for that person for a long time, and every day, the same person would appear in her dreams.
I was stunned.
So I'm not a prince, but my brother is. He was the hero who saved the beauty. He wanted the princess to remember him forever. He was the one who took the princess by the hand and saved her from the cage, while I was just a passerby. "
"You sound quite sad and beautiful. I didn't expect you to be such a love-struck fool. And then you left? " After listening to Ou Ziyang's story, Su Wangzheng's lips couldn't help but twitch as he asked with a smile.
"Yeah, after a big fight with my brother. My brother told me that he didn't like Zhang Yuhan at all. But I told him that if he didn't accept Zhang Yuhan, then I wouldn't recognize him as a brother. At that time, he was busy with his university entrance examination, so there was no need for him to attend any classes. I went out every day just to keep out of the way. There was a time when I worried about my family. " Ou Ziyang continued to narrate the story that had been buried deep in his heart. As a matter of fact, the fact that he had been able to tell Su Wangzheng about it proved that he had put it down.
"A popinjay." Su Wangzheng looked at Ou Ziyang with a smile and said.
"A few days later, I heard that my brother accepted Zhang Yuhan. And then I went to college in the United States. " Ou Ziyang sighed and said.
"You haven't been home all these years?" Su Wangzheng thought for a while before asking. It had to be known that it had been at least seven to eight years since the start of Ou Ziyang High School, right? Had he not been home so long?
"Three years ago, when my father passed away, I came back once." Ou Ziyang calmly replied.
"Three years ago? The time we met at the airport? " Su You Zheng remembered her first meeting with Ou Ziyang and asked with a smile.
"Yeah, isn't that a coincidence?" At that time, my brother and Zhang Yuhan were already married. I saw that they were in a bad mood. "But, I had to suddenly meet you at the airport." Ou Ziyang bitterly smiled and helplessly said. Perhaps, this was fate!
"Luckily, there's a substitute like me, right?" Su Wangzheng squinted at Ou Ziyang with a face full of self-satisfaction. He was not at all displeased that he had become a substitute. Perhaps, because she owed Ou Ziyang too much, she would be very happy if she had any chance to repay him, right?
Of course, it would be even better if Ou Ziyang simply forgot about her because he used her as a substitute.
"No, I wish I had never met you." Ou Ziyang seriously replied. His expression was grave, as if he was seriously considering something. He seemed to be thinking about the possibility of 'if', right? What would his life have been like if he hadn't met Su Wangzheng?
He would probably be a very carefree, very casual, and very hedonistic person, right?
He might not be so full and successful, but he definitely wouldn't be this cautious and tired.
Of course, he wouldn't love her like that either.
"Why?" Su Wangzheng asked with a smile when she heard that Ou Ziyang had never met his. Perhaps, her appearance was truly not a good sign.
If only she hadn't existed.
Ou Ziyang looked into Su Wangzheng's eyes and said word by word, "Because you are even more out of reach than Zhang Yuhan."
It was as if the clouds in the sky were unreachable.
Su Wangzheng's zither was probably the same as well in his heart, right? It was clearly very close, and if he were to go, he wouldn't be able to reach it.
To him, she was something that could be viewed from afar but not scoffed at.
"Heh, then throw me away like Zhang Yuhan." Seeing Ou Ziyang's fearful attitude, Su Wangzheng suggested with a smile.
Ou Ziyang looked at Su Wangzheng with a pained expression, and then said indifferently, "If it was possible, I would have thrown it away a long time ago. Really, it was thrown away a long time ago. "
"I didn't expect it to be so tiring and troublesome for you." Su Wangzheng's mouth twitched unnaturally as she looked into Ou Ziyang's eyes, which were full of pain. Had her appearance really hindered him? And what was even more hateful was that this woman that Ou Ziyang cared deeply about and had been giving up all this time was unable to give him any response. She really felt cruel.
"I am willing." Ou Ziyang pursed his lips, and then firmly said. It's hard for me to pay for it, and that's what he feels in his heart. No matter the reason, no matter the conditions, no matter what price he had to pay, he was willing to do it.
"Now look at your brother, is your heart feeling better?" Seeing that the topic was a little off, Su Wangzheng brought the topic back to Ou Zibin. Now that things had progressed to this point, she felt that she was really treating Ou Ziyang well, so she wanted to help him solve his family's problem, right? After all, Ou Ziyang only had his first brother and sister left. To him, reuniting with his family must have been a very happy thing, right? It was just that she understood Ou Ziyang too well. This person loved to be in the limelight. Even though she had clearly thought through many things, she still wouldn't take the initiative to find someone to solve this problem, let alone apologize.
Mentioning Ou Zibin, that blue light in Ou Ziyang's eyes seemed to flash for a moment. Then, he once again fell back into his memories and calmly said, "Actually, my brother is very good, and he is also very good to me. It's just that I've been spoiled by my family since I was young. Very angry. The devil in my family, nobody can do anything to me. I heard that my mother doted on me the most when she was there, so my father treated me the best. Maybe it was because I was too nice to him that I didn't know there was nothing to be taken for granted until I was outside. I can't blame my brother for this. It's just that I didn't handle things well enough. Maybe at that time, Zhang Yuhan only worshipped my brother, and maybe as long as I fight, I can still win her over. Maybe, maybe at that time, my brother also had many troubles for Zhang Yuhan because of me, and maybe it was all my fault. "
