Gong Ning stared blankly at the dazzling and gentle light in Shen Yuchen's eyes. Her vocal cords seemed to be tightly bound by something. She spoke softly, her voice slightly hoarse, "Then... will you feel pain?"
"Yes, it will, but it won't last long! In the end, the sad things will remain in my memory, but I won't feel sad, upset, or even in pain because of them!"
“Yu Chen…” Gong Ning’s eyes were filled with heartache as she looked at her, hesitant to speak.
Shen Yuchen patted the back of her hand. "Don't make wild guesses. The reason I'm like this is very simple. It's just a way to filter out all the bad things, to make myself brave, optimistic, and happy, to protect myself, and to live for myself. It's simply a way of loving myself, and many people are like this..."
After saying that, Shen Yuchen put down her water glass and stood up. "Alright, now that I've appeased my little Gong Ning, I'm going to take a shower and get rid of all those complicated, troublesome things from the past!"
Gong Ning raised her head and watched her receding figure, her waist-length hair coming into view.
Nowadays, due to the fast-paced lifestyle, very few people keep their hair this long.
She looks different from ordinary people, just like her extraordinary life experiences.
In just a few moments, Gong Ning suppressed her thoughts and spoke frankly and confidently, with a hint of lightness, "Nothing happened that day..."
"I know!"
Shen Yuchen paused slightly, turned around and smiled, "You came just in time that day. You were so cool when you kicked the door open, like a brave and fearless Peter Pan. You miraculously landed in my gradually darkening world, warming my once cold heart. In an instant, I felt so at ease, like spring returning to the earth, everything reviving. I'm so reluctant to leave. Gong Ning, you are my little angel! I love you so much! Mwah!"
Gong Ning was startled, staring at her in horror, “…”
Shen Yuchen's smile deepened. She turned around and gazed earnestly at Gong Ning, saying tenderly, "I'm willing to give you all the tenderness and patience I have in this life, to make you my superhero forever. Before you, I've never cared about anyone like this. Why? Oh, right, it's because of your special and magical charm—beautiful, cute, kind. Although you're a little silly at times, nothing can stop me from falling for you. Gong Ning, I've decided. From today onward, I will make you my destiny, until death do us part..."
Gong Ning suddenly shuddered, goosebumps rising all over her body. She jumped up abruptly, her big eyes wide open. "Yu Chen... are you alright? Are you feeling unwell? Should I call Dr. Nan?"
The smile in Shen Yuchen's eyes gradually spread to the corners of her lips and her brows.
She lowered her eyes slightly, concealing all the smile on her face.
Suddenly, he opened his arms and looked at the little girl who looked like she had been struck by lightning not far away, and said in a deliberately downcast tone, "Gong Ning, I want to hug you, please give me a warm hug!"
Gong Ning gripped the sofa nervously, glancing warily at Shen Yuchen in the distance, whose eyes held a mixture of suspicion and delusion. She subconsciously pursed her lips. "I...no, Yuchen, should I call Dr. Nan for you? You...."
Seeing the tension, defensiveness, and a hint of shock on Gong Ning's face, my previous worries and suppressed emotions slowly faded away...
Shen Yuchen's mind relaxed slightly...
When Gong Ning saw Shen Yuchen staring intently at her, she shuddered again and quickly took a few steps back, cautiously asking, "Shen Yuchen, your sexual orientation is normal, right?"
Shen Yuchen: "..."
