Su Wanbai lied on her bed, her mind a mess.
She should be happy that Murong Aotian was dead, so she could finally get rid of this underworld messenger like man. But why didn't she feel any sense of joy? Unknowingly, a warm liquid fell from the corner of her eyes. She raised the back of her hand to gently caress it. Tears, indeed tears. Were they tears of sadness? Impossible, absolutely impossible. She admitted that she doesn't have the tendency to self-abuse. A demon that ruthlessly tramples on her body and soul is not worthy of her yearning!
She got up and went to the bathroom and splashed a handful of cold water on her face. Drops of water ran down her pale, delicate cheeks, wetting the collar of her nightgown. Last night, the devil's kiss on her neck was still there. She extended her slender finger and gently brushed away the shame marks, and a wry smile appeared on her face.
The demon she hated the most was gone. She would never bother him again!
She tried to convince herself, to be happy, to be happy!
It was already four in the morning by the time she laid down on the bed again. She stared blankly at the ceiling for who knows how long before she fell into a deep sleep.
A tall figure slowly walked towards her, his exquisite facial features gradually becoming clearer under the faint moonlight.
Su Wanbai's eyes widened. Wasn't that demon already dead? She sat up, curled up in the corner of the bed, and looked at him in disbelief. His smile was warmer and calmer than anything he had ever seen. He reached out her hand and stroked the messy hair on her forehead. Su Wanbai wanted to speak, but her throat seemed to be stuck, unable to utter a word. Was this reality or a dream? Su Wanbai grabbed her arm, her nails digging into the flesh.
The joy of the clouds and rain, the gentleness that Murong Aotian had never felt before …
"I'm leaving!" Murong Aotian's voice did not carry any emotion.
Su Wanbai felt that her heart was being grabbed by something hard, and was in extreme pain. At that moment, she actually had a shameful feeling. She wanted him to stay, and she had never felt such yearning for him before.
It was day, so Su Wanbai's long eyelashes fluttered a few times. Her beautiful eyes were as clear as crystal after being washed by water.
It was really a dream! A strange disappointment came over her, and for a moment she was confused.
Without the entanglement of the Demons, it was possible that she wasn't used to it. This didn't mean anything. Who would miss such a shameless man? Su Wanbai opened the window and greedily breathed in the faint fragrance of the flowers and stretched her waist.
"You're in a good mood today?" Su’s father stuck his head out from the kitchen.
"Yes, very good!" Su Wanbai sat in front of the dining table, picked up a piece of toasted toast and put it into her mouth.
"Have you washed your hands? "You damned girl!" Su’s father pretended to hit her daughter with a serious look.
"Right away, right now!" Su Wanbai practically skipped into the bathroom.
After finishing breakfast, Su Wanbai carried her school bag and walked towards school.
It was a rather early day, and most of the shops along the way had yet to open, so the pedestrians and cars were sparse.
Just as she turned an intersection, the corner of Su Wanbai's mouth rose slightly as if time froze. Her mind instantly went blank. There seemed to be a car following her, and when she went it went and she stopped it. She did not feel the cold gaze, it should not have been sent by Murong Aotian, who else could it be?
Su Wanbai subconsciously sped up her footsteps as she quietly went around a small alley and hid behind a huge beverage machine.
The two bodyguard like men chased after them. They looked around, but did not find any trace of Su Wanbai.
Su Wanbai pricked up her ears and listened to what was happening outside. She could clearly hear the conversation between the two men.
"Oh no, I lost it!" How are you going to explain this to the Young Master when you get back? "
"She must be here. Let's go to the mouth of the alleyway and wait. This is a dead end, she will definitely get out."
"You still need protection for such a short distance?" "Young master is too careful."
"Young Master is so concerned about this woman. It seems like he's going to be serious this time!"
"Our UK's boss also has a day when he is tempted. It's really amazing!"
The two men's voices grew further and further away. Only then did Su Wanbai heave a sigh of relief.
Su Wanbai had been in Vancouver for a while now, so she was able to speak English much more fluently than before. She naturally understood their conversation, it turns out that Andy had sent someone to protect her. However, they seemed to have misunderstood. She was merely Andy's big sister, why would they think that she was his beloved woman? But then again, there was no need for Andy to explain her identity.
Just as Su Wanbai arrived at school, she called Andy.
"Don't send anyone to protect me anymore, I don't need it!"
"These two idiots, I told them to hide it, but you still found out."
"Don't blame them. They tried their best."
"Will you bring dad to my house for dinner tonight?"
"Mm …" "Maybe next time!"
Su Wanbai needed some time to digest her hatred of Mo Xingran. Even though Su Wangbai had a favorable impression of her after their last conversation. However, many things were not formed in a day or two, and naturally could not disappear in a short period of time. Right now, she just wanted to finish her studies properly. Regardless of whether she returned to China or not, learning something really wasn't wrong.
Su Wanbai was a very independent and strong girl. She quickly adapted to the life of the school and met all kinds of tests well. With her excellent grades, delicate appearance, and noble and refined temperament, she quickly became the most beautiful scenery of the campus. In the beginning, she politely rejected him. Slowly, she became a little impatient and could only ask her brother Andy for help when she met a boy who was pestering her.
As Andy and Su Wanbai stood together, they were dazzling like a golden couple; the other boys simply could not look straight at them. They admitted defeat, choosing to give way with great self-awareness. Su Wanbai's life returned to being peaceful once more. The most beautiful side of her life had opened up her heart to her, and she felt an unprecedented feeling of comfort and happiness.
Su Wanbai prepared for her birthday long in advance. It was almost Su Wanbai's birthday.
Originally, Su Wanbai had rejected her offer. She thought that it was only a birthday, that it would be enough for their family to sit and eat together, but Andy refused. He took out his own villa in the eastern suburbs to make the venue for Su Wanbai's birthday party.
Su Wanbai did not have any friends in Vancouver, so she was at most in the same class as her classmate. Although she wasn't close to them, they got along well. Moreover, most of them were cheerful and passionate. When Su Wanbai gave them the invitation, they happily accepted.
That night, Su Wanbai appeared on the stage wearing a dark green evening gown that revealed her shoulders. Her elegant appearance and refined temperament instantly attracted the attention of all the male students present. Andy held Su Wanbai's hand tightly as they walked along the quiet and small lake path. They were like princes and princesses in their dreams, as the crowd erupted into applause and whistling sounds at the same time.
In the night wind, the faint moonlight covered the champagne, the red wine and the various fruits and desserts with a layer of hazy light. Su Wanbai leisurely walked into the crowd, her face becoming a little numb from the smile that she had been maintaining all this time. She was not a lively woman. If not for Andy's coaxing, she would not have left her father and came all the way here alone.
After recognizing her, it was big sister's first birthday. Andy wanted to properly celebrate for her, but he found it hard to refuse her kindness, so Su Wanbai had no choice but to agree.
Su Wanbai always wore canvas shoes and jeans, and this was the first time she wore high heels. Not long later, she felt a heart-wrenching pain from her heels. Quietly sitting in a corner, Su Wanbai took off his high heels and threw them to the side as she grimaced in pain and rubbed her feet.
From afar, it seemed as if a cold gaze was sweeping over. Su Wanbai's spine stiffened, and she subconsciously raised her head.
Her heart was beating wildly. Was it the demon? Could it be that even as a ghost, he was unwilling to let her go, or was he going to pester her endlessly? Looking in the direction of their gazes, the dense forest was dyed even more dreamily by the darkness of the night. It was filled with the tension of life.
She smiled bitterly. So it was an illusion!
She had never believed in ghosts or gods. He was dead, completely gone from her life.
Andy walked over, and waved his palm in front of her eyes.
"What are you thinking? "He's that engrossed?" Andy asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing. I think it's about time. Why don't we disperse?" Su Wanbai put on her high heels again and said with a smile.
"What time is it? Let's play a little longer. It's not easy to have a birthday, no matter what, it should be lively enough." Andy smiled like a flower.
"You want to play a little longer, don't you? Don't think that I don't know, there are many beauties in our Academy of Fine Arts. You just want to use this opportunity to get to know a few more beautiful girls. That little demon eye of yours, don't even think about escaping from me! " Su Wanbai rolled her eyes and said disdainfully.
"Hehe, it's fine as long as you know what's going on. Why did you mention it?" Andy supported Su Wanbai with a mischievous smile.
Su Wanbai did not notice that there were a few stones beneath her feet.
"Elder sister, why are you so stupid?" Andy pouted.
"What, you dislike me?" "No matter how stupid I am, I'm still your big sister. You little brat, if you dare say that again, you better watch out that I don't hit you!" Su Wanbai said.
Andy grabbed his head and ran, Su Wanbai following closely behind.
Suddenly, both of them seemed to have returned to their carefree childhood, laughing, playing, and getting tired. They sat on the green lawn and talked about their youth, which they had never spent together.
"If only we had grown up together!" Su Wanbai looked at the stars in the sky and laughed.
"Time cannot flow backwards. The most important thing is to cherish the mark. In fact, we were all grown up, Dad was old, and Mom was old. "So, are you going to forgive your mother?" Andy couldn't bear to ruin this moment of warmth and relaxation, but when he thought of his mother's lonely eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little unwilling.
