Chu Xichen pursed his lips and remained silent. He knew that his sister did indeed like Bei Yao, but what's past is past and can't be brought back.
"I'm calmer than I thought," Ning Beiyao said, lowering his eyes. Ji Yi was the kind of love he wanted, but it was over.
——
Shang Xian lay in the hospital room, while Shen Yi and Mo Xi stood by the window, discussing something.
“It’s almost over. The best way is to go with him in RK’s name,” Moxi turned to look at Shang Xian.
Before Shang Xian could speak, the ward door opened, and Gong Ou stood in front of it.
"I want to say a few words to you," Gong Ou said, his gaze never leaving Shang Xian's face.
Shang Xian gave them a wink, and Shen Yi and Mo Xi skipped over Gong Ou and went out.
Shen Yi casually closed the ward door.
After a moment of silence, Shang Xian waited for him to speak first.
"Are you leaving?" Gong Ou stood still by the wall, not moving an inch.
Shang Xian sat up in bed: "Yes, we're leaving."
"Aren't you coming back?"
"Once they leave, they'll never come back."
Gong Ou's face remained expressionless as he simply looked at Shang Xian without saying a word.
He moved his lips, repeating it several times, but couldn't utter a single word. Finally, as if making up his mind, he spoke, "Then... what about me..."
Shang Xian was taken aback. She hadn't expected Gong Ou to say that, and asked, "How long have we known each other?"
“It’s been a year since I met Ning Beiyao.” He couldn’t help but hug Shang Xian, resting his chin on her shoulder: “You know, you’ve always known, my feelings.”
"I know"
"At the time, I was wondering why you married Ning Beiyao. After a year, I figured it out. If I were you, I would also choose Ning Beiyao over me. He is more stable..." As he spoke, his voice seemed to choke up.
Shang Xian patted him on the back: "Ever since you came back, I've felt that you're different from before."
"But so what? In the end, you still had to leave. I didn't expect it to end like this. I thought my enemy would be Ning Beiyao, but later I realized it was actually you. If you want to leave, no one can stop you."
If you want to leave, no one can stop you...
A thought immediately came to Shang Xian's mind.
"It's like a joke. I wanted to marry you, but in the end, you told me that's something for the next life," Gong Ou chuckled softly, but there was a desolation in his laughter.
Shang Xian pulled him off her body and then noticed the tear stains on Gong Ou's cheeks.
"Why are you crying?" Shang Xian sighed.
When she asked him that, Gong Ou immediately collapsed onto the edge of the bed and wept silently: "You're about to leave, and you won't even let me cry?"
"..."
What happened to being mature?
"Then what will you do if I marry you?" Shang Xian rested her chin on her hand and looked at Gong Ou with a smile.
Gong Ou, lying on the blanket, mumbled, "Of course I'll spoil you rotten, and I'll—"
Suddenly, he jumped up in shock and met Shang Xian's gaze.
"What else do you want?" Shang Xian asked with a smile.
"You...you, what did you just say?" He wondered if he had misheard!
Shang Xian smacked her lips: "I'll only say it once. If you didn't hear me, then forget it."
Gong Ou held Shang Xian down and took a deep breath: "I heard you, you said you would marry me!"
"Then what?"
Gong Ou felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he quickly covered his heart: "Of course I'll arrange a wedding. I'll give you a grand wedding, and I'll bring you home in a sedan chair carried by eight people!"
