Every word that Xu Mo said reached Si Yu's heart, to the point that Si Yu did not stop him at all, and calmly looked at Xiao Yichen. She wanted to know, towards these bloody accusations, what would Xiao Yichen do, would he feel pain and guilt?
It had to be said that Xu Mo's words were like needles piercing Xiao Yichen's heart. She actually let Si Yu down, and he also loved Si Yu, thus he knew that Si Yu would go and find her when he returned, even though Si Yu didn't see her. However, he still didn't want to abandon Xu Liwei. He and Xu Liwei had been together for so many years, that was why she had gotten used to it. Even if they weren't as fond of Xu Liwei as she was of him, they were still fine.
"I will make it up to Si Yu." As he said that, Xiao Yichen earnestly looked into Si Yu's eyes.
Facing Xiao Yichen's serious and determined eyes, Si Yu felt only disgust and at the same time, heartache. Why? Why did she have to meet Xiao Yichen? Why did she have to like Xiao Yichen?
"Xiao Yichen, shut up! Si Yu does not want your compensation, please stay away from her. " Xu Mo said excitedly, and was almost about to fight with Xiao Yichen.
For Xiao Yichen to treat Si Yu like this, the one who felt the most pain was Si Yu's parents, and the next was Xu Mo.
"Alright, stop talking." Si Yu said.
Xu Mo and Xiao Yichen stopped at the same time, and stared at Si Yu, as if they were waiting for her to make her decision. As long as Xiao Yichen didn't agree to a divorce, Si Yu would not leave this bitter ocean for a day.
"Xu Mo and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Go back first." Si Yu said to Xiao Yichen, but from start to finish, he did not even look at him once.
After saying that, Si Yu pulled Xu Mo by the hand and they left. Xu Mo seemed to not have finished swearing, but Si Yu could not continue listening.
Looking at Si Yu's receding figure, Xiao Yichen felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit. He blamed himself very much, why did he have to do this?
Xiao Yichen did not return, but instead went to the arena in the field to sit there for a while. Thinking back to the happiness and satisfaction he felt when he and Si Yu had simply sat there, this was the first time he had felt this way. Only Si Yu had made him feel this way, and it was his fault that everything had turned out this way.
Xiao Yichen took out his cell phone and called Xu Liwei.
"Yechen, you finally called me. I don't know why the media took pictures either. It was all my fault." Then, Xu Liwei began to cry.
Hearing Xu Liwei's crying, Xiao Yichen did not have the heart to say the following words. After being silent for a while, Xiao Yichen still steeled his heart.
"Li-wei, I'm married now, and I have a wife. If we go on like this, there won't be any results." Xiao Yichen said.
Hearing Xiao Yichen say that, Xu Liwei immediately panicked, and said while sobbing: "Don't be like this, I can't leave you behind, I promise you, we won't see each other much in the future, I just want to stay by your side, I beg you, please don't abandon me."
"You'll find a better one." Xiao Yichen could not bear to, but he had to get an understanding of it today.
"Yechen, think about it. We've experienced so much together, and I don't mind you having a wife. I won't ask for anything from you either. I just beg you, please don't take away my chance to protect you, okay?" Xu Liwei who was on the other end of the phone was crying until he could no longer make a sound.
After such a long time, even though Xu Liwei was a vain person, her feelings for Xiao Yichen were not fake.
"Don't cry. I said you think about it. It's for the good of the three of us, and even more so for your own good. You can't possibly do this for the rest of your life." Xiao Yichen hardened his heart. No matter how much Xu Liwei cried, she did not let her guard down.
In the end, Xu Liwei hung up, she knew Xiao Yichen very well, and no matter what, Xiao Yichen would not say anything today. After a period of time, as long as she cried, Xiao Yichen would definitely not be able to hold back. All these years, her relationship with Xiao Yichen had always been like this. Thinking back to when Xiao Yichen carried her and became friends with Si Yu, he had even mentioned breaking up with his before.
After hanging up, Xiao Yichen buried his head in his hands, imagining Si Yu's calm face, and thinking about how Xu Liwei's face was covered in tears, he truly hoped that Si Yu could cry and make a ruckus like Xu Liwei, so that he would feel better.
When he saw the mountain that the school was leaning on, he thought about how he and Si Yu had climbed together, and how the two of them weren't afraid of the sun at noon. He remembered that at that time, he simply couldn't suppress the beating of his heart and swore that he would never let go of Si Yu's hand in this lifetime.
"Si Yu, why didn't you divorce him?" Xu Mo said as the two of them walked to the artificial lake and sat down beside the grass.
Si Yu sighed and said, "I'm very sad and also very heartbroken, but at the bottom of my heart, I still have a sliver of hope. There's still the shares of Zuoqi in my name.
"What?" Xiao Yichen was wrong about that and he still wants to share your wealth? " Xu Mo said.
"He doesn't want to get divorced. If he wants to get divorced, he has to split his Zuoqi." Si Yu said.
"This won't do. I've gone to find him to argue, but I've never seen him as shameless as he is." Xu Mo's mood that had just calmed down exploded once again.
Si Yu pulled Xu Mo back, a look to indicate for her not to be so impulsive. Xu Mo sat down from her new seat and knew that Si Yu was sad.
Si Yu lightly leaned his head on Xu Mo's shoulder and said: "Actually, in the bottom of my heart, there's still a trace of anticipation that he would change, right?"
Xu Mo pulled out her arm and tightly hugged Si Yu in her embrace.
"Alright, then I'll give him one more time and he'll know. He won't leave any regrets. With me by your side, you'll have your parents and me." As Xu Mo said this, her tears actually started to fall.
Only the heavens knew how much pain Si Yu felt in his heart this time and how much damage it had done to her. But since she was willing to give Xiao Yichen another chance, she would definitely support him.
"Thank you. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even know who to talk to. Who would understand?" Si Yu sat up and looked at Xu Mo, her eyes already filled with tears. From the moment she had read the news till now, she had not cried, but in Xu Mo's embrace, she was crying thoroughly.
The two of them did not eat at noon, so Si Yu did not have any appetite. Xu Mo would accompany her, and she would not advise her to eat like her parents, because she knew that she could not eat, and what she wanted to do was to starve with him.
"In front of love, everyone is humble, sometimes you are great, sometimes love is selfish, sometimes there is no bottom line, sometimes you can discard whatever self-esteem you have, I have also done that before, but you have to remember one thing, for possible love, if there is no possibility of making you suffer, you should let go, no matter how difficult it is, I will always accompany you."
"Thank you, I will remember what you said." Si Yu said.
Xu Mo looked at the sky, it was almost evening, and asked: "Are you going back to your home with Xiao Yichen, or are you going to my place?"
Si Yu placed his head on Xu Mo's knees and did not say a word.
Xu Mo sighed and said: "Let's go back." She knew that even if Xiao Yichen hurt her like that, she would still wish to stay in a place with Xiao Yichen.
"Should I? I'm already like this and still thinking about him." How could she not mock herself? Although Xiao Yichen treated her like this, in the bottom of his heart, he was still willing to forgive her. Even she herself despised herself!
Xu Mo sighed: "Isn't love like this, it makes one's heart hurt."
It was also the same for she too. She had loved Lin Fengxuan for five whole years, liked him for five whole years, yet Lin Fengxuan was not moved even the slightest bit. Was it because her love was too lowly, or because Lin Fengxuan's heart was too hard?
"Do you know, sometimes I really want to die like this and see if he will feel heartache or feel guilty?" As Si Yu spoke, his tears flowed again.
"Yes. He knows everything you say, but it's only temporary. It can't be his entire life, so it's not worth it. And you, as well as your parents and friends, have many other things besides love. Don't think like that." Xu Mo said.
"That's right. Other than love, there is nothing else. If it wasn't for me, I could have died in peace." Si Yu said.
Xu Mo glanced at Si Yu and said, "That's right, if I don't have family and friends, I would choose to die too."
"Then let's both go to heaven. There's no pain there, only happiness." Si Yu said.
"I don't think I'll be able to go to heaven. I'm a bad kid, so I'll definitely go to hell." Xu Mo's words were very miserable.
"Then I'll go to hell too. I want to see the Road to River Styx, the Stone of Three Lives, and that blood-red Resurrection Lily." Si Yu unexpectedly said with some yearning. If not for the pain that Xiao Yichen had brought to her, hell would be heaven and Xiao Yichen would be her hell.
"Do you think you're reading a novel? What do you think is on the other side of the Yellow Springs?" Xu Mo felt a little helpless, Si Yu's love for him was too pure and hurt too much.
Xu Mo was silent for a moment, then said: "I plan to sell the hotpot restaurant."
"Why?" Si Yu's attention was diverted by Xu Mo's words.
Seeing Si Yu's reaction, Xu Mo laughed, "If I knew your reaction, I would have said earlier. I've wasted your tears."
Si Yu was amused by Xu Mo's words and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pouted and said, "Quickly tell me what happened. Why are you suddenly not opening any more shops?"
"I don't want to open it anymore. I think I should change my lifestyle. I've already thought about it. I'll sell the store and go to some places I've always wanted to go but haven't gone to yet."
"And then?" Seeing that Xu Mo was not going to continue, Si Yu anxiously asked.
Xu Mo glanced at Si Yu, and laughed out loud. "Then we'll talk about it later, it's not that far off yet. It's not like I need to work anyways to earn money."
It was true that they did not need to work to earn money, the money that the hotpot restaurant sold was almost enough for Xu Mo to squander their entire life. One must know that Xu Mo's was a national chain of hotpot restaurants, Si Yu did not understand why he closed the shop.
"Then will you not come back?" Si Yu asked with some sadness in his voice.
"No, of course I have to come back to see you. You're the one who likes to cry. Without me, you wouldn't have been bullied like this." Xu Mo said.
Although she was losing Si Yu, for some reason, Si Yu couldn't hold back his tears. She had already lost a lot, and Xu Mo was her only friend.
"Alright, I just want to go chase after happiness. How about you sell your Zuoqi too, and we go together?" Xu Mo teased Si Yu as she saw him crying.
Si Yu was like a child, wiping away his tears as he choked with sobs. "That's my father's. I don't have the right to do that."
"You'll have it when you grow up." Xu Mo said.
"Fuck you, you're the one who hasn't grown up yet!" Si Yu was finally amused by Xu Mo.
Xu Mo looked at Si Yu and smiled, her heart at ease. She said while looking at Si Yu seriously, "No matter what, I will always be by your side. Only you are sad that no matter where I am, I will immediately rush to your side."
Si Yu nodded. She was just giggling at Xu Mo's words which made her cry again, one moment laughing, the other time crying. Si Yu already did not know what she looked like.
"Alright, stop crying. You're crying so badly." Xu Mo took out a tissue to wipe Si Yu's tears.
Si Yu was like a child, allowing Xu Mo to wipe her tears.
