When Su Xun learned that Mu Ge was safe, he originally intended to send her a letter.
His heart was filled with emotion, and even after writing on three sheets of paper, he still couldn't finish. It wasn't until he finally put down the last stroke that he was able to finish.
He put the letter into an envelope, but Su Xun didn't have the courage to send it out.
He knew that sending this letter to Li Muge would only cause her trouble.
Mu Ge only has Yun Qi in her heart.
She only felt brotherly affection for him.
Having gone through so much, Su Xun gradually lost his hatred for Yun Qi, his rival in love, and even felt a little grateful towards her.
I am grateful to Yun Qi for giving up his life for Li Muge time and time again.
A hint of sadness appeared on Su Xun's alluring face.
He always remembered Li Muge, who was as bright as the sun and his most beloved younger sister.
But he didn't save her when she was in her most difficult time.
Watching her suffer, upon reflection, he realized he loved Li Muge, but that love was tinged with cowardice.
Su Xun abdicated after serving as the Phoenix King for five thousand years.
They left the Phoenix Clan.
I chose to travel to various places to relax and unwind.
He didn't actually like the Phoenix Clan. As long as he stayed there for a day, he could think of the pain Mu Ge had suffered.
And despair.
Sometimes Su Xun would think about it.
If Mu Ge and Su Qing hadn't been switched at birth back then...
Is there another possibility between him and Mu Ge?
When passing through the human world, Su Xun rescued a woman who looked very much like Mu Ge and had a similar voice.
Even his personality is extremely straightforward.
He has been single for nearly ten thousand years, while other royal men of his age would probably be his grandfathers.
His mother saw through his thoughts.
When they went to find him, they saw a woman who looked exactly like Mu Ge, but instead of stopping him from interacting with A Qiao, they did not stop him.
Instead, it seemed to be acting as a matchmaker.
Su Xun also knew that A Qiao liked him.
He noticed that the way Ah Qiao looked at him was exactly the same as the way he looked at Mu Ge.
"Xun'er, life is so long, you can't keep yourself trapped in the past," Su Xun's mother advised.
My son and Mu Ge were never meant to be together from the very beginning.
Meeting Ah Qiao might be God's way of making amends for her son; otherwise, as a mother, she couldn't possibly watch her son live a lonely life.
Su Xun shook his head: "Mother, I haven't locked myself in the past, but there are some people I just can't forget."
"You!" Su Xun's mother sighed helplessly.
On New Year's Eve.
Ah Qiao confessed her feelings to Su Xun.
She held in her hand a purse she had carefully sewn for Su Xun. Although the needlework was not very good, it was clear that she had put a lot of effort into embroidering it.
Her fingers were almost swollen from pricking herself so much while making this purse.
"Mr. Su Xun, I admire you and hope to be by your side. Could you please give me this opportunity?" Ah Qiao raised her hand and shyly offered it to Su Xun.
His eyes were filled with sincere admiration.
Su Xun's alluring eyes always seemed to hold a sorrow as deep as ink that could not be dispelled.
"You know Ah Qiao, I already have someone I love." Su Xun said calmly.
"I know, but Mr. Qiao can wait for you, until you forget her." Ever since Su Xun first saved her, he has captured her heart.
Ah Qiao is actually curious sometimes.
What kind of woman is Mr. Su so fond of?
What kind of magic does that woman possess that has kept Mr. Su so infatuated for so long?
"But Ah Qiao, this is not fair to you."
“You are a wonderful woman, you deserve a better life, why should you be fixated on me?”
Su Xun politely expressed his refusal and turned to leave.
But Ah Qiao didn't give up.
She chased after him and stopped Su Xun: "Why not? I can wait for you."
"If you have a hard time forgetting that girl, it's alright. After all, it's first come, first served. I can stay by your side in her place."
As Ah Qiao spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
She had heard it from Mr. Su's mother.
She looks very much like the woman Mr. Su had in his heart.
Perhaps this is why Su Xun saved her in the first place, Ah Qiao suppressed the bitterness in her heart.
At this moment, she only wanted one possibility.
A possibility of staying by Mr. Su's side.
She was willing to be a stand-in.
Su Xun stopped in his tracks, grasped A Qiao's arms with both hands, and said seriously, "A Qiao, you shouldn't think like that. Everyone's life is extremely precious, and you should have your own life."
"The reason I became friends with you is not because I saw you as a substitute for her."
Ah Qiao cried, her face streaked with tears.
"Mr. Su, what you're saying is just an excuse. Am I really that bad? Am I really not even a little bit as good as the woman you like in your heart?"
"Yes," Su Xun said firmly, his eyes unwavering. "In my heart, she is the best."
"Ah Qiao, I reject you not because of your appearance, but because I understand my own heart. No matter how much you look like her, you are ultimately not her."
Su Xun released A Qiao's arm.
She slightly raised the corners of her lips: "And if I accept you simply because you resemble the person I love, then my love wouldn't be as steadfast as I claim."
"Ah Qiao, you are very good."
"But I met someone in my youth who was stunning enough to last a lifetime. In this life, we are so close yet so far. I only wish to keep her in my heart and cherish her memory."
Ah Qiao clutched her purse tightly.
