If the young master is unwilling... just like now.

Su Jiuci was like a discarded toy, left there helplessly.

Therefore, her last words must have pierced Su Jiuci's heart.

When you love someone too much, you lose your way out and your control.

Time passed little by little.

The sun gradually set, and dusk was approaching.

Su Yan leaned back on the chaise lounge, her eyes closed.

A moment later, Hongdou ran over and said with her head down.

"Young Master, Mr. Su has not eaten yet."

Su Yan pursed her lips.

"If he doesn't eat, there's nothing I can do."

The words were bland and uneventful.

He seemed indifferent.

After a while, he said again

"Change those dishes, bring out a new batch, and see if he'll eat them."

Red Bean opened its mouth as if to remind the young master.

This is the third batch of dishes you've requested to be replaced.

Mr. Su won't eat it, so what's the point of changing it?

Hongdou looked at the two awkward people.

One of them stood there frozen, not saying a word.

One of them was lying here with his eyes closed, looking like he didn't want to see it and therefore didn't care.

Red Bean's whisper

"Young Master, Mr. Su... hasn't eaten all day, has he? He's not eating now either. Should I... go and get him something lighter and bring it over?"

Su Yan listened, her eyelids twitching slightly.

There was a long silence.

finally.

When Hongdou saw that the young master was not speaking, she was about to bring him another batch of dishes.

The young master suddenly opened his eyes.

He sat up from the chaise lounge.

Without saying a word, he walked towards his room.

Hongdou was startled by her young master's sudden action.

"Young...Young Master??"

He shouted as he chased after them.

As she walked into the room, her lips pursed.

She watched as Junyu sat there with his head down, still in the same posture as before she left.

That kind of loneliness, being all alone and not saying a word, is so sad.

It gently pierced her heart.

Her furrowed brows relaxed.

But that annoyance turned into frustration.

She didn't like him like that.

I don't know why, I just don't like it.

Seeing him like this makes me sad too.

This inexplicable feeling made her irritable.

Unlike the gnashing of teeth, annoyance, and restlessness one feels on a rainy day.

It was a kind of conflicted frustration—wanting to hug him but also wanting to hit him a couple of times.

Su Yan walked up to him.

Junyu raised his head and looked at her, his expression somewhat dazed.

It seemed like a long time had passed before he finally recognized the person standing in front of him as Su Yan.

He then lowered his head again, a faint smile playing on his lips, his pale face making him appear extremely weak.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice swelled slowly and softly.

"Yes, are you here to kick me out?"

He waited for a while, but didn't get an answer.

Then he slowly stood up on his own.

He swayed for a moment, then steadied himself by holding onto the table.

He still smiled faintly, seemingly harmless and vulnerable, yet his words were heartbreaking.

"I'll be going now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the door.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Su Yan eventually managed to stop him.

She closed her eyes, then gripped his hand tighter and tighter.

Pull the person back to their seat and force them to sit down.

Su Yan touched the dishes on the table; they were still warm.

I served a light and refreshing dish.

She sat down on the chair next to her and asked.

"Are you going to eat by yourself, or do you want me to feed you?"
