Seeing Cai Fengyin chuckle at him, Shu Ting felt a chill run down his spine. He rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and asked him irritably, "What?"
"Brother." Cai Fengyin winked at him. "Good brother, please help me."
Shu Zhan: "..."
Shu Zhan gave him a disgusted look; the awful nickname made him want to vomit his dinner from the night before.
"Don't even think about hitting on my sister!" he warned fiercely, then, unable to stay any longer, he got up and left quickly.
Watching his departing figure, Cai Fengyin didn't care. After biting open the bandage with his teeth, he ran out and asked for directions before heading towards Shu Hua's courtyard.
Cai Fengyin began his long journey to win back his wife.
Shu Hua was thoroughly annoyed by his constant bouts of surprise and shock, and tried several times to kick him out of the manor, but failed each time. This man was simply too shameless; he refused to leave!
Finally, one day, she couldn't help but call him over and tried to ask him calmly, "Why are you clinging to me?"
Cai Fengyin was peeling an orange when he heard her words. He immediately looked up and said seriously, "Because I want to marry you."
He rarely speaks like this, so for him to act like this, it's clear he's serious.
Shu Hua didn't dare look him in the eye, turned her face away, and said coldly, "But I've already been married."
Cai Fengyin placed the orange peel on the table and hummed twice, "I know."
"I was also divorced."
Cai Fengyin was busy picking out white silk stockings. "I know."
"I am no longer a virgin."
“I know.” Cai Fengyin meticulously removed the white silk threads, as if not a single one could be left behind.
"You..." Shu Hua looked at his actions, somewhat confused, "Don't you mind?"
“I don’t mind, it’s all in the past anyway.” Cai Fengyin looked up and smiled. “What I want is you, not your body. I don’t care if you’re a virgin or not, as long as I am, that’s enough.”
"..." Shu Hua was speechless.
She wasn't stupid; she could distinguish between sincerity and pretense. She had seen everything Cai Fengyin had done over the years, but she didn't know how to face his passionate and sincere feelings.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Cai Fengyin moved closer to her. "It's very sweet, do you want to try it?"
Shu Hua was taken aback, but didn't reject his approach. She simply answered instinctively, "What?"
Cai Fengyin peeled a segment of orange, which he had already peeled clean, and put it into her mouth. "It's very sweet."
Shu Hua chewed it subconsciously; it was indeed very sweet, a pure sweetness, just like his feelings for her.
“So…” Cai Fengyin lowered his voice, like a bewitching enchantress, tightly plucking at her heartstrings, “Want to give me a try? I’m sweeter and cleaner than this orange, my whole heart and my whole being belong to you.”
Shu Hua remained silent, and Cai Fengyin felt a chill in his heart, but he still wouldn't give up. Shangguan Jingci was a scoundrel, but he was...
No... he doesn't seem to be either; he's a person.
After thinking about it so strangely, Cai Fengyin was a little unsure whether he was even a thing. He sighed inwardly, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and took a half-step back.
Unexpectedly, Shu Hua, who had been silent all along, snatched the orange from his hand, quickly broke off a segment and put it in her mouth. Then, to his astonishment, she hooked her arms around his neck, held his head in her arms, closed her eyes and offered herself to him.
Cai Fengyin stared in disbelief, realizing that something had been transferred into his mouth. He chewed it subconsciously, and it tasted purely sweet.
Those are... oranges he just peeled.
...
...
"A lone lamp illuminates the sorrowful past, crickets chirp their golden fluff amidst the verdant moss. The autumn moon has finally returned to fullness, how many times have we gazed upon it hand in hand? I earnestly send this message: Do not plant a tree of longing. Cherish our chance to meet again, for we will meet again, each of us gazing upon the other with a heavy heart."
With heartfelt words, I urge you not to plant a tree of longing. Cherish the chance to meet again, for we will meet again, each with our own sorrow.
She finally understood the meaning of the marriage fortune she had obtained back then, but the Shu Hua of the past could never be the same again.
Fortunately, she didn't want to go back.
Shu Hua turned her head and glanced at Cai Fengyin, who was diligently peeling oranges for her, then lowered her head and smiled.
