"I don't know. At first, I only liked you because you were my crush. It was only later that I realized I liked women. I don't know if it can be considered innate." Xia Ruoming fiddled with the hair on her forehead and said casually.
"Why, are you curious about this kind of topic?"
"Is it not possible to ask? I didn't know Ruomeng well enough before, so of course I have to know more about her now." Xu Fengwu whispered softly while taking care of Xia Ruomeng's hair.
"You don't look like the proud princess at all now. You look more like the 80-year-old gossipy old lady living downstairs from me."
Xu Fengwu could understand from Xia Ruoming's strange expression how self-centered she was back then. She never cared about the people around her and took other people's kindness for granted. She was aloof and somewhat selfish, and had never had any curiosity about Xia Ruoming.
Now she also knows that she might have been really annoying back then. Xia Ruoming had been pursuing her for so long, but she just enjoyed this tenderness on her own and never tried to understand Xia Ruoming. She actually knew nothing about what kind of person Xia Ruoming was.
Perhaps when she lost Xia Ruoming, she first had the idea of winning her back, just because of her unyielding character. She would not admit that anyone could be better than herself, and because of her morbid possessiveness, she did not want others to enjoy the tenderness from Ruoming.
But now, she is really pursuing Ruomeng out of love. She wants to get into her heart and understand her past.
Xu Fengwu also knew that Xia Ruoming only had her in her eyes before, just like she only had herself in her eyes. The whole small world did not allow anyone else to exist. She did not like women or men, but only her. Apart from Ji Chuan, Xia Ruoming had no other friends in her circle. She was only good to her from beginning to end.
Even Ru Meng turned a blind eye to her own beauty and excellence, so that she could be a little follower peacefully.
Actually, what Xu Fengwu wanted to ask was whether she was still attractive to Xia Ruoming. She really couldn't ask this question out loud, but the moment she got out of the bath, the answer seemed to be self-evident. Just like what was said in many novels, Bai Yueguang seemed to have a great innate advantage. Even Xia Ruoming, who hated her so much, couldn't remain calm when facing her.
"Okay, Ruoming, it's dried." After Xu Fengwu touched the ends of Xia Ruoming's hair with his hand, he unplugged the hair dryer and put it away.
After nodding slightly, Xia Ruoming also changed into her pajamas. Because this set of pajamas had been worn by Xu Fengwu before, the pajamas seemed to have a faint fragrance that did not belong to her.
Xu Fengwu, who changed into the spare pajamas, also looked extremely uncoordinated, and the surging waves seemed like they would break free from the buttons and burst out at any time.
At that moment, Xia Ruoming had the urge to pick up the quilt and go to sleep on the sofa.
"Then... Ruoming, shall I turn off the lights?"
After seeing Xia Ruoming's response, Xu Fengwu turned off the lights in the room, and the room suddenly fell into darkness. Then she returned to bed.
Xia Ruoming's scent is different from Xu Fengwu's. The simple and elegant fragrance is intertwined with the faint fragrance, making it difficult for both of them to fall asleep.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you sleeping with your eyes open?" Xia Ruoming never liked to sleep on her side. Although the lights were turned off, Xu Fengwu could still see Xia Ruoming's eyes that were never closed in the darkness.
"I was wondering if you can leave after you finish your stay today." There was a joking tone in Xia Ruoming's words.
It was originally a joke, but unexpectedly what came out of the darkness was Xu Fengwu's weak response.
"Don't chase me away... I'm not going anywhere..."
"Okay, okay, I'm not chasing you away. I know you can't go home, I just suddenly couldn't sleep. You should go to bed early too, don't stay at my house for a few days, or you'll look haggard when your aunt sees you."
"Oh..." A low voice came from the other side. For some reason, Xu Fengwu's somewhat weak appearance struck her soul directly.
Soon, there was no movement from the person on the other side of the bed, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
Glancing at Xu Fengwu beside her, Xia Ruoming suddenly remembered what An Jinrou had said to her when she was fortune-telling that day, and also remembered the three tarot cards.
The overthrow of the emperor may mean that in her previous life, she used Jiang Ruhua to fulfill her ambitions, thereby gaining power that should not have belonged to her. That kind of inflated ambition made her have the illusion that she was really a member of the upper class, and falling from the sky also made her sober again.
Then... does the inverted moon represent the lost and recovered Xu Fengwu?
[You have many choices, but you are indecisive because you are afraid of getting hurt. Please remember that many people are afraid of darkness. Some people are afraid of the dark scenery itself, and some people are afraid of the long reflections on the night road. But all of this is because the person concerned is afraid. Darkness itself is not dangerous. Darkness will not hurt you. What hurts you are certain creatures in the darkness. ]
[Although the process will be full of pain, you will have the opportunity to pick up things you have never obtained and welcome the good ending that belongs to you at the end. ]
Although she could no longer remember what An Jinrou said exactly at that time, she had never forgotten the general meaning.
Is it really right to retrieve what was lost? Even if she has the opportunity to start over, will she really not repeat the same mistakes? She has already chosen Chu Suhe in her heart, so should she still care about Xu Fengwu's feelings?
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred years to be able to cross the river together, and a thousand years to sleep on the same pillow. She and Xu Fengwu took a taxi home together, which could barely be considered as being on the same boat. After being reborn, they even slept in the same bed. Is it destined that she and Xu Fengwu will have this relationship?
Although she was thinking about the affairs of these two people, the scene of her deep kiss with Xiao Qinghan that day kept emerging in her mind.
Maybe Xiao Qinghan was drunk at that time, but she couldn't let go of her heart after all.
Once people make a choice, they will feel uneasy and confused, and they will not be as firm as before. This sentence is useful to Chu Suhe and also to Xia Ruoming.
If she could enjoy the blessing of having two men at the same time like Reinako Kanori, perhaps she would not refuse, but she really does not want to be the kind of scumbag who actively plays two men at the same time. There are many protagonists in novels who would use the fact that they and the protagonist have not formally established a relationship to excuse their behavior, but she can't get over that hurdle in her heart.
Xia Ruoming didn't know that her love fortune was destined to be very bumpy, and that the inverted moon card represented something far more complicated than she thought. Everything had just begun...
Feeling dizzy, she shook her head, cleared her mind of distracting thoughts, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
