Xiao Linghan's cold words did not deter Shen Yan.
After a long while, Shen Yan slowly spoke: "At least, at least I should do something for her..."
Even if the two of them could not start a relationship, he could not express the feelings in his heart.
But the affection of a young man, so sincere, he didn't want it to be buried by time, and when he grew old, he would look back on the woman he once loved, only to find that he hadn't had the chance to do anything for her.
He will definitely regret it.
"Even if I can't reveal my feelings for her to the world, at least I can make her future path smoother, and then I can consider it a fulfillment of my wish."
He took a deep breath and concealed the tears in his eyes.
I fell in love with someone I could never have. No matter how hard I loved him, he could never know.
He alone had to taste such bitterness and sorrow.
He didn't care, but he still wanted to do what he could for her.
Xiao Linghan remained silent for a long time.
He looked at Shen Yan, who was utterly dejected, his eyes filled with an unfathomable emotion.
The young man was reserved and had a smooth life, even his feelings for a woman were sincere; he couldn't be like him.
His life was already filled with frost, so how could he possibly love someone as passionately as his friend?
Having figured out his future path, Shen Yan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his expression while drinking was no longer so tense.
Xiao Linghan didn't let him continue drinking, but instead sent someone to take him back.
The two now share a secret, and their friendship is much stronger than ever before.
After Shen Yan returned, he slept for several days before regaining his spirits.
Seeing that his spirits had suddenly improved, everyone in the mansion breathed a sigh of relief.
These days, the young master is unhappy, and they don't even dare to speak loudly.
Shen Yan tidied himself up and went to visit Jiang Tian.
Having adjusted his mindset, Shen Yan was no longer panicked when he saw Jiang Tian again.
He regained his youthful spirit and was full of energy.
"Greetings, Aunt."
When Jiang Tian saw him, her expression was exactly the same as when she first saw him.
She nodded slightly: "What brings you here, young master?"
Shen Yan knew that Jiang Tian might think he had ill intentions.
But he was still willing to use his enthusiasm to warm the ice.
“You saved me not long ago, and I’ve been tossing and turning all night, feeling that I would be letting you down if I didn’t do something for you. So I came to you to ask if there’s anything I can do for you.”
"If it's within my power, I will definitely not refuse."
Jiang Tian's expression was unreadable as she stared at Shen Yan.
Shen Yan's eyes were open and honest—it was filled with admiration.
He has finally figured it out recently: perhaps from the very beginning, he had not been able to hide his interest in Jiang Tian.
She remained cold towards him afterward, intending to put an end to his feelings for her.
Now, he no longer wants to hide it.
He wanted Jiang Tian to use him, and he would do anything for her.
Jiang Tian's gaze swept past him and looked into the distance: "There's nothing I need your help with, young master. We're just strangers who met by chance."
Shen Yan felt a pang of sadness, but still smiled and said, "Auntie doesn't know much about the capital, so you might as well ask me to do some things. Many of my friends are from the streets, so if you need anything, just ask."
Jiang Tian stared at Shen Yan, her tone becoming much more serious: "Young Master, I don't need you. You just need to live the life you want."
Shen Yan's expression remained unchanged, but he couldn't utter a single word.
