The night wind was slightly chilly. Under the dim light of the street lamp, Su Wanbai and Jin Yichen walked forward side by side.
Su Wanbai wore thin clothes, and she couldn't help but wrap her arms around herself as she carefully took off her jacket and placed it on her. Just now, it was Jin Yichen who proposed this idea to take a walk. Su Xiaomi and Andy were having an argument upstairs, and it was rare for them to have free time. Without Su Xiaomi, it would be more convenient to say a lot of things. Jin Yichen who was naturally shy was a little nervous. He continuously rubbed his hands together, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"There are a lot of things that are just the past. Let that beautiful memory remain in your heart, okay? " Su Wanbai opened her mouth quietly.
The belly of words that Jin Yichen had prepared were forcibly blocked by Su Wanbai's calmness.
After a long while, Jin Yichen sighed, and his star-like eyes slowly dimmed.
"After I broke up with you, I was sure I wouldn't love again. A person, a favor, has exhausted all my strength. However, Murong Aotian had barged into my heart just like that. I hated him from beginning to end, but even I didn't expect that I would fall in love with him, and that I would be so madly in love with him. I admit that I am not a masochistic person, but somehow I was captured by his tyrannical love. I am hopeless! I hate myself. I've been conflicted for a long time. When I can finally walk with him in peace, I've discovered a cruel truth … "Sob, sob …" Su Wanbai sobbed as her delicate shoulders trembled.
Jin Yichen pulled her shoulders over and held her tightly.
The faint fragrance of her long hair floated into Jin Yichen's nose along with the fragrance of a woman. He had longed for such a hug for far too long. However, when he finally got it, her heart was already completely with another man. When they were together, she had misunderstood him time and time again, but he had never properly explained himself. Trust had become the greatest obstacle between them. The young them were suddenly stopped by too many willful thoughts. When they looked back, everything had already changed beyond recognition.
"Brother Yichen, Brother Yichen!" Su Xiaomi's call came from afar.
Su Wanbai suddenly pulled back from her emotions, she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and escaped from Jin Yichen's embrace.
"Nangong Bingjie really loves you, I hope you can cherish her well!" Su Wanbai turned and said indifferently.
When Nangong Bing was chasing after her, she would never say a word to Jin Yichen. Although Nangong Bing Jie's viciousness made people's hair stand on end, her love for Jin Yichen was single-minded. It might be tiring to spend one's life with such a woman. However, the marriage between Wealthy Class families was a matter of great interest. To be able to meet a woman who loved him so much was already a blessing for him. The helplessness in reality far surpassed their imagination. Just like how she and Mu Rong Ao Tian were so close to each other even though they were clearly in love. There were too many factors that they couldn't control.
Su Wanbai and Jin Yichen walked closer to Su Xiaomi, and her anxious eyes finally calmed down.
"I just stayed upstairs for a while and found that you guys have disappeared!" Su Xiaomi pouted her lips and looked at them with a smile.
"I was just walking around. Did Andy bully you?" Su Wanbai pulled Su Xiaomi's hand and asked with deep concern.
Under Andy's personal supervision, Su Xiaomi put the items back into the luggage one by one, only then did she let her out. In the meantime, he kept laughing at her, saying that the style of her undergarments was unearthly, and that the clothes she chose didn't suit her at all. When she asked what kind of clothes suited him, he said he wanted her to buy a robe with a picture of a piglet on it. Su Xiaomi was so angry that she immediately rushed over and attacked Andy. The two of them started to play cat and mouse in the small room. Mo Xinran who had gone to bed early was woken up by them, and grumpily urged them to go downstairs.
The morning of the second day, Jin Yichen changed into a casual sports outfit and went out for a run with Andy.
What was strange was that the only topic of conversation between the two men was Su Xiaomi, and the only topic of conversation between the two women was Jin Yichen.
"Wiping Dust will probably be back in a few days. Are you not going to confess?" Su Wanbai suddenly asked.
Su Xiaomi's face instantly flushed red. She lowered her head and continuously rubbed her fingers, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were filled with haze.
"Am I being too obvious? Damn it!" Right now, I am not worthy of the Brother Yichen. He wanted to restrain himself a little, but when he saw him, he forgot everything. I really like him too much, but I can't, I'm already dirty, and I'm no longer the pure Su Xiaomi like I was before. " As Su Xiaomi spoke, her eyes suddenly turned red.
"Love is like this. You can't hide it!" Su Wanbai was startled for a while, before she quietly spat out a sentence.
"You and Brother Yichen … Is it really impossible? " Su Xiaomi blinked her eyes.
"No more." Su Wanbai said.
The two of them sat on the sofa and leaned against it at the same time. They were silent.
At this moment, the two men who were running outside were chatting about Su Xiaomi. To be exact, Andy did not leave her with any of her sentences, and only grumbled and complained about her, as if she was the most womanly woman in the world. Jin Yichen listened intently, and would only glance at him occasionally when he turned his head, and his meaningful smile would slip past his eyes from time to time.
The love of a boy and a girl was like this, hazy but unaware of it.
"She's so terrible, and you still like her?" Jin Yichen was a little tired from running, so he sat on a bench by the side of the road and asked indifferently.
Andy was startled. Did he do it very obviously? They were clearly expressing Su Xiaomi's disgust, how could see through them so easily?
It was not that Andy had never been in a relationship before, but the way Su Xiaomi looked at him was gentle and loving. To be honest, he was jealous to the point that he was about to go crazy. Su Xiaomi had clearly said that she didn't plan to date nor marry anyone in the future, but why did everything change after seeing Jin Yichen? She had taken too much care of Jin Yichen, and she wished that she could glued herself onto his body. He always kept a polite distance from her.
He was also very conflicted in his heart. After meeting Su Xiaomi, the inferiority complex in his bones had actually ran out. With his underworld background and the danger of him licking his blood on the tip of her blade, he wasn't willing to let her carry even a little bit of it. But it was his father's business, and his, and how could he give it up? Furthermore, she looked so much like her sister Su Wanbai. Even if they were to walk together, what would her mother say? They would think that he adored her own sister and found a substitute because he couldn't get one. There were even worse ones. Actually, it was not like that. What he loved was not Su Xiaomi's appearance, but her heart that was untainted by mud.
"I am not worthy!" After saying this, Andy was also very surprised.
He and Jin Yichen had not known each other for long, but somehow, he had revealed all of his true feelings.
"In love, there is no such thing as high, low, or high. As long as you truly love each other, nothing is an obstacle. I am a few years older than you. I want to give you some advice: Life is short. When you meet someone you love, you have to be brave. Even if you can't get it, you have no regrets! " Jin Yichen looked into the distance, the look in his eyes becoming intoxicated.
"I know you came here specifically to find my sister, so I support you! Being your brother-in-law is more comfortable than being Murong Aotian's little brother-in-law! " Andy mischievously blinked his eyes.
"Your future brother-in-law won't be me. I'm very sorry! I respect your sister's wishes. As long as she is happy, I will be happy! " Jin Yichen lowered his head, and the strands of hair in front of his forehead drooped down, covering his eyes.
At this moment, Murong Aotian was sprawled on the bed, sleeping soundly. His brows had never relaxed, his long eyelashes moved from time to time, and a bitter smile appeared and disappeared from the corner of his mouth. In the dream, he was still angry. He was angry at himself for finding an assassin to kill Andy. If he knew that he was only Su Wanbai's little brother, then no matter what, he wouldn't be able to kill him. It had been so easy for him to walk with Su Wanbai, because of her father's death, that everything returned to its starting point. She hated him. She had said that she would never meet him again in this life!
The pain was like countless steel needles stabbing into the softest part of his heart, densely packed and without a single gap. Beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, nose, and cheeks. They slowly congealed, then dripped down.
The room was dark, and the strong smell of alcohol was accompanied by a faint smell of blood.
Housekeeper Li stood outside the bedroom and paced around anxiously. Because he was drunk and didn't eat properly, the young master's stomach was already very sick. Yesterday, she had personally witnessed his young master vomiting blood. Although it was only a small amount of blood, that shocking dark red color was enough to make one's heart ache. The doctor came several times, but the young master never saw him. He could not be in love with Su Wanbai, so he felt that living was meaningless.
In the past, he had never obtained Su Wanbai's heart. He could survive her angry departure. However, the pain of losing something was even more unacceptable than the pain of dying.
He really hoped that Su Wanbai's father could live. If he came back, there would be no obstacles between him and Su Wanbai at all. He could not give her the promise of marriage, but he would give her all her love, he swore!
However, it was too late. Nothing could be done about it. He blamed himself, and his heart ached. He wished that if he died, then he would truly be free!
Suddenly the door creaked open and a tall figure appeared.
The pungent smell of smoke and alcohol made him cough, he tried his best to calm his emotions, turned on the light, and slowly walked to Murong Aotian's side.
Housekeeper Li helplessly called Old Master Murong. He and his son went into a cold war for a long time because of their promise of not marrying and not having children. However, his son vomiting blood was a big matter. He hurried over with only one goal in mind, which was to persuade him to accept treatment and regain his courage.
