After Song Yunxi left, Xu Muyao clenched his fists tightly in the room, veins bulging on his forehead. He tried his best to suppress all his emotions, and his eyes instantly became bloodshot.
Wanwan sighed deeply and said softly, "The word 'love' is like a poisoned arrow, wounding deeply. I've played along with your act, and you've completely broken my heart. I hope you won't regret it. Just like you never regretted getting drug use on duty, only to be treated coldly." After saying that, she turned and walked out without looking back.
The moment the door closed, Xu Muyao burst into tears, feeling as if his heart had been ripped apart, the pain so intense he couldn't breathe. He was in so much pain...
Song Yunxi was his belief in life, his motivation to move forward in the darkness, but now he has personally extinguished that belief, that power, that light of hope.
He touched the numerous needle marks on his arm, large and small, evidence of his fall from dragon slayer to evil dragon!
In his final breakdown, he suddenly curled up on the bed like a wounded beast, his body began to convulse uncontrollably, his expression extremely distorted, and the drug addiction pulled him back into the abyss...
He was already in a state of utter ruin; there was no going back...
——
Lin Yue hugged Song Yunxi with heartache, not knowing how to comfort her, and could only gently pat her back.
Song Yunzheng's eyes flickered. He recalled the day he first met Xu Muyao at the noodle shop, when Xu claimed to be Lu Wuqi and refused to admit his true identity. According to Lin Yue's description, he was the one who saved her on the day she was attacked at the bar. And this time when Chen Kun kidnapped her, if he hadn't risked his life to save her, he and his sister would have been doomed.
How could such a person do such a thing? Was his double act of risking his life to save her and his secret protection an act of atonement? Or was he forced to do something against his will?
"Go and make some new friends. You deserve better. It's Xu Muyao who doesn't have that blessing." Song Yunzheng sighed and patted Song Yunxi on the shoulder.
"Alright, cry it out and move on. Cheer up. Chengye still needs you to take charge. Have a good meeting with Rong Youze this weekend. He's a good person, someone you can entrust your life to."
Song Yunxi wiped away her tears and took a deep breath. "Brother, you're right. He's the one who wronged me. He's the one who didn't deserve me. I won't let down my youth or him. He's the one who should be sad and regretful."
She sniffed and said slowly, "Rong Youze, right? How does he look? He has to be more handsome than Xu Muyao, and taller and more imposing than him..."
Song Yunzheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a helpless smile. He was almost thirty years old, but he still had the mentality of a child.
“He is more handsome than Xu Muyao, and taller and more upright. His family background is comparable to ours.”
"That's good." Song Yunxi forced a smile, trying to make it look genuine. "Alright, brother, sister-in-law, you two should go back now. I'm fine now. But I hope you can just let this matter go..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell Mom and Dad."
On the way back to Courtyard No. 1, Lin Yue stared blankly out the car window, her heart filled with countless emotions. Was this how her childhood sweetheart relationship of more than ten or twenty years was going to end?
He risked his life to protect his country and disappeared for years. When everyone assumed he was dead, she remained steadfast in her waiting. She finally saw him return, only to be met with the cruel reality that he had become someone else's husband...
Song Yunzheng turned his head slightly and glanced at Lin Yue, who was in a daze, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Why are you so quiet?"
Lin Yue shook her head. "Honey, do you think Yunxi must be so heartbroken?"
"It's natural for her to be sad and upset, but she'll get through it and won't do anything rash. Don't forget whose daughter she is."
"If it were me, no matter what difficulties the other person had, I would not forgive him, never."
Song Yunzheng felt a tightness in his heart; this little girl's temperament seemed even more fierce than he had imagined.
"Hey honey, is that Rong Youze you're talking about really that handsome? Do you have any pictures? Let me see..."
Song Yunzheng frowned, glanced at her sideways, and casually tossed out a sentence, "Not as handsome as me."
"Pfft..." Lin Yue quickly covered her mouth to suppress her laughter, trying hard to hold it back. "Honey, when did you become so narcissistic?"
"It all started when I met you, from the first time your eyes lit up when you saw me, and you even secretly took pictures of me with your phone."
Song Yunzheng's words were reasonable and well-founded, and Lin Yue was powerless to refute them. So she pretended not to hear him, turned her head to look out the car window, and pretended to look at the scenery.
...
On Friday, after get off work, Song Yunxi walked barefoot in the underground parking garage, carrying her high heels in one hand and her car keys in the other, her mind completely blank...
"Beep beep..." The two sudden honks startled Song Yunxi, causing her to scream, "Ah!"
She patted her chest to calm her frightened heart, turned around angrily, and was about to launch into a tirade of traditional Chinese poetry when she saw someone get out of the car—a man with a handsome face and bright, star-like eyes…
He walked slowly toward her with a gentle smile on his lips. The overhead lights seemed to favor him, casting soft light on him like a veil, as if filtering him, making him appear like a god bathed in light, walking toward her with radiance.
"Yunxi, I'm sorry, I startled you."
Yunxi? Does she know this person? Why is he calling her so intimately? Even if he's handsome, he shouldn't be this overly familiar!
"Do I know you?" Song Yunxi looked at the man in front of her warily, her demeanor elegant and composed, exuding an innate air of nobility.
The man smiled slightly, his pleasant voice like a clear mountain spring, fresh and full of vitality.
