Having held back her temper for so long, she finally snapped: "Fu Chengyi, I don't think we're close enough for you to keep coming here all the time. Besides, you have your own life, so please don't bother me."
"I just wanted to take care of you." His voice sounded somewhat aggrieved.
Fu Hange chuckled softly: "There are many girls in Honesty who are better than me. I'm not worth your time. Go back."
She's just a pitiful woman who's married but not loved by her husband. She's not worth his waiting like this. If only she could like him, she wouldn't be in so much pain now.
But fate is fickle; her heart was never truly with him.
"Go back," she said again.
A casual remark left Fu Cheng frozen in place.
But then he added, “Don’t misunderstand, I just want to take care of you. After all, your family has had a problem, and I have a share of the responsibility. If my dad hadn’t asked you to go to that dinner party that day, none of this would have happened. So you don’t need to send me away like this; it will only make me feel more guilty.”
That's what they say, but Fu Hange knows that this is the excuse that many people use to stay by the side of someone they love but can't have.
Just like her relationship with Gu Yuan, he ultimately didn't love her, but she wanted to stay by his side.
Fu Hange forced a smile, her lips twitching slightly: "Whatever you say."
She had no reason to refuse; he had already said so, and if she refused again, it would be pretentious.
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
Fu Chengyi took her hand and walked outside.
This time, instead of driving, I strolled along country roads.
Fu Hange has hardly ever gone out since she came here, except for the sunset that Fu Chengyi took her to see last time.
"Where are you taking me?" she asked, turning to him.
Fu Chengyi lowered his head, smiling but saying nothing.
Keeping you in suspense!
This was the first time she had been led around by a man.
Along the way, Fu Hange discovered that country roads can also allow people to slow down and contemplate life.
There was a wall to her left and Fu Chengyi to her right. The path was a bit narrow, and she and Fu Chengyi were very close together.
"What are you thinking about?" Fu Chengyi's voice rang in her ear.
Fu Hange chuckled and lowered her head: "I was thinking if life could be this slow, this quiet, would the outcome be different?"
"What?"
"It's nothing, just a feeling I had recently."
If Gu Yuan were standing next to her today, would their outcome be different? If he stopped caring about his job and was willing to give up everything to come here with her and enjoy a simple life, would there still be a possibility for them?
She knew this was just her imagination, and she didn't want Gu Yuan to give up everything to come here for her.
After walking for a long time, Fu Hange suddenly stopped.
Wildflowers covered the hillsides, surrounding them like a circle, and she stood in the center, as if embraced by a sea of flowers.
But no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it could not hide the disappointment in my heart.
For some unknown reason, she squatted down and hugged herself, large tears rolling down her cheeks and landing on the flower petals, making her look even more beautiful and delicate.
Fu Chengyi walked to her side and gently patted her back: "If you want to cry, just cry it out, it will make you feel better."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hange cried even harder, her heart-wrenching cries echoing throughout the sea of flowers.
No matter how beautiful the flowers are, she is the only one who can appreciate them. She wants that person to see them, but it is ultimately impossible.
