"You don't know why I made intimate gestures towards you, do you?" Shang Xian looked at the gray sky not far away.
"Because being with you is like being with Li Ci. Li Ci and I are often together, so it's not that kind of vulgar love. I don't want to use the word 'love' to insult him and me. Being with Shen Yi is different. There's an emotion in his eyes that I hate, so I stopped liking to be with him. Being with him makes me feel suffocated, like going back to those times I used to live." Shang Xian smiled at the sky. Mo Xi turned his head to look at her. She was too independent after losing her support. The back of her independence was just that she didn't want anyone to know her panic.
"Are you afraid to go back to the way things were?" Moxi gently hugged her.
"You know everything about me, don't you?"
Moxi felt heartbroken when he thought about her past.
Her mother suffered from severe postpartum depression after giving birth to her. She hated the child who caused her so much pain. As she grew up, she got used to wearing a smiling mask. She really hated herself for this. From the time she could remember, she realized one thing: her father was having an affair with another woman. Her mother made a scene at home all day, cutting her own wrists and strangling her when she got angry. She had bruises of all sizes all day long.
Later, her father resolved everything outside and accompanied her mother to see a psychologist. When she was nine years old, all the nightmares ended. Her parents tried their best to make it up to her. She was always cheerful and smiling, as if nothing had happened and it was just an act for them.
When she was a child, whenever she got into trouble, whether she was injured or something, she would run to Li Ci's house. She loved Li Ci's family to death, and she was mostly envious of Li Ci's father's humor and Li Ci's mother's elegance and generosity. When she was injured, Li Ci's mother would apply medicine to her and take her to the hospital. Li Ci's father would also be worried about her. Li Ci always kept her by his side because he had seen Shang Xian's miserable childhood.
As they grew older, Li's father took Li's mother on a world tour. Li Ci would come to their house for meals every day. Later, everyone knew that wherever Li Ci was, Shang Xian was there, and wherever Shang Xian was there, Li Ci was sure to be there.
It can be said that the Li family is Shang Xian's only refuge.
“You’ve grown up, all of that is in the past,” Moxi said, pressing her shoulders and speaking with utmost seriousness.
Shang Xian covered her mouth and laughed: "Yeah, I have everything, why should I be sad? It's just that I feel a little sad when I think about my past self, just a little bit." She made a "little bit" gesture.
“So, it’s time to turn the page,” Mo Xi said casually, putting his arm around Shang Xian’s shoulder.
"It's flipped!" Shang Xian nodded firmly.
"Then we'll have to go complete the mission in a few days~"
"Of course, I feel like I've been fully recharged," Shang Xian said, his mood improving considerably.
"You should be able to move your hand now, right?" Moxi squeezed her right hand, and she hissed. Moxi immediately let go: "Does it hurt?"
Shang Xian laughed and ran forward: "I was just kidding!"
Under the setting sun, two figures, one tall and one short, chased and played with each other.
Moxi laughed too, but what he was thinking was—
Congratulations, Li Ci! This girl only trusts you. She won't be fooled by other men. Separation will only make her miss you more. As long as you say you love her, she will belong to you in the end, and no one can take her away.
