When he got the list of freshmen, Ye Yisheng was on it, she came from City A, his heart beat faster, with some kind of unknown fear. That vixen, unexpectedly, had appeared in his life one day.
Yan Heng stood at the gate of the school and looked at a petite girl, holding big and small bags of things, walking towards him step by step. He looked at her like that, with unspeakable heartache in his heart.
The little vixen was someone that made people’s hearts ache for her.
Yan Heng did not know what happened to him? He could have a completely separate life from her in the future, but he deceived her, saying that he was from her hometown, and asked for her telephone number. He did not know what was wrong with him. As long as she had a bit of difficulty, he could not help thinking about solving it for her, helping her prevent all her troubles, and hope that she would be well.
Yan Heng has been unable to believe that someone that looked so delicate would be so calm in the face of miscarriage. Perhaps this was the deepest secret in her heart that she did not want people to know. She tried her best to keep her calm, but such things could not be kept a secret.
When he found out, his heart ached even more.
He thought that because of this, he was even less willing to give up on her.
Sometimes he would think, why did his heart ache for her? Was it when the first time he heard her name and he thought she was a vixen but realized that she was nothing like that when he first met her? Or was it during the welcoming ceremony, when he saw her walking with much difficulty?
Or perhaps, it was when he walked up to her and helped her pick up her backpack, casually asking, “What’s your name?”
“Ye Yisheng.”
Or perhaps, it was because of those words. Ye Yisheng… That vixen.
He knew that it was impossible. The unremovable scars told him that it was impossible between them.
Someone who was originally just watching the show had entered the show where the ending had been fixed a long time ago. But why would Yisheng ask: Senior, do you like me?
Yan Heng did not know what to say. He had never imagined that this day would come. He just wanted to treat her well and that was enough for him. He kept forcing himself to stop thinking about it, about whether he liked that vixen or not. He wanted to stop himself, so in the last year he was taking care of her, he said that he had a girlfriend.
Perhaps he was lying to himself, but he knew better than anyone else how could he bear to let go of that vixen?
A few years later, he thought that he could let her go. His mother had arranged a marriage for him to a daughter from a high-ranked family, she was gentle and demure, and he thought she was not bad. He did not have any requests and had always been uncaring about such things. It was only when it came to that little vixen that he would feel moved.
She called him and said that she was going to City B.
His reply was: I’m at City B. Actually, he had returned to his hometown, and he was in the capital. He did not hesitate at all and got on a flight to City B, taking care of everything as he waited for her.
All he wanted to do was treat her well enough to make up for all the hard times she had gone through in the past. That was all he wanted to do.
Yan Heng knew that her childhood sweetheart was Song Anchen. He thought that he would finally be able to leave his position as her protector. As a man himself, he knew too clearly that the complicated feelings in the gaze were the deep feelings that had not been let go of.
He thought that he did not lose in terms of how strong his feelings were. He lost in terms of time, he lost to the joke played by the heavens. He never would have won. SO when they got together, all he did was smile until his eyes could no longer cry.
He smiled, like the flowers that bloomed in spring.
Yan Heng thinks Song Anchen is a petty man. He was truly really petty. Yan Heng was just her senior, but he was so worried. Song Anchen had been willing to give up a great opportunity, to give it to him and send him far away.
Originally, the quota for studying in France was specially obtained by his mentor Professor Zhou, but he asked to step down and recommended Yan Heng by name. After he learned that, he wanted to laugh. Firstly he felt that Song Anchen was so childish, that he was too eager to drive away his rival. On the other hand, he was a little helpless. At least Song Anchen had the right to defend his territorial rights, while Yan Heng had nothing.
Yan Heng left without any comment. Perhaps this was the best time for him to extract himself from this situation. Didn’t someone say that time was the best medicine to heal all wounds? He thought that he would be able to prove this statement right as well.
He learned a lot in France and lived a full life. Every day, he would open his email and write about some trivial things and send the email to her. Even if she did not answer, he still opened his email every night, writing an email and sending it. This seemed to have become a habit. Another habit he developed for her.
It was only when his mother told him that Ruohan was ill, and her illness happened to be a type of illness that he was specializing in. She asked him to come back for assurance since he was someone they knew. He actually returned to City B early, but he never told her. He treated Ruohan in Union Medical College Hospital for several days. Finally, he could not help telling Ruohan something about some things concerning Yisheng. Ruohan was miserable, but she was not the only victim, because of her, Yisheng might be infertile, and this had also ruined her family. Song Anchen had a hard time in recent years as well. He asked Ruohan why she needed to keep hating them.
Ruohan did not say anything but, “Help me change my hospital, I want to go to the Third Affiliated Hospital, in Song Anchen’s department.”
Yan Heng smiled and nodded.
That little vixen should be happy now.
He thought that he might never return to City B again. He didn’t have a home here or roots. He had nothing. He thought that he should go take a look at the man whom his family had ruined.
Ye Yisheng’s father, Ye Tianming.
The second he saw the hearty old man open the door, his nervous heart became much more relaxed, and he felt happier. He called himself Yisheng’s senior, that because he was going overseas and he was in a hurry to hand her the gift, he came over here.
After that, he talked to Ye Tianming about a lot of things. Ye Tianming was a very talkative man. Every time Ye Tianming smiled at him, he felt apologetic, a stone in his heart that could not be removed in his heart, causing him to have difficulty breathing.
He felt that there were some things that he could not let go of. Even if he kept going there to make atonement, he could not get over it himself. He was that kind of person, the kind that could not stand owing anyone anything.
When he saw that vixen again, her expression was full of happiness, she seemed to still be very happy when she saw him. Seeing her happy was something that made him the happiest.
Song Anchen was still the same way he was, not willing to see Yan Heng touch his baby. He read the situation well and said his goodbyes. He had managed to reach his goal and he could leave happily. Although his chest felt stuffy occasionally, and he would feel sad for a while.
Although he knew that Song Anchen treated her well, he thought that since the two of them got together, Song Anchen had the right to know the truth about the hardships Yisheng had gone through, but with Yisheng’s character, she would never tell him those things. He decided to be a busybody for once. Anyway, he had nothing to do. And this time, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He talked about Yisheng’s miscarriage in the North and witnessed the slightly moving expression on the man’s face in front of him.
“Thank you for telling me about this matter,” Song Anchen is very calm. He knows that this is song Anchen’s character. He was obviously not feeling that calm in his heart. The eyes are the window of the heart and there were a series of complex emotions in his eyes, such as anxiety, sadness, compassion, and so on, which were familiar to Yan Heng. Because he had felt that way before, and no one could understand what kind of state of mind that was.
He did not tell him everything. He was worried that if someone found out the truth, she would not talk to him from now on. All he wanted now was for her to smile when she saw him.
Thus, he wanted to bury his secrets little by little on the other side of the Atlantic ocean and never return.
Ye Yisheng was still a little vixen that was his junior. And he would be her senior all his life…
