Feng Guang forgot how much effort Shen Xing had put in to resist the pressure from his family, and how much effort he had put in to keep the Shen family's company afloat under the pressure from the Xia family and Lu Chen. No one knew how much pressure Shen Xing was under. Of course, he knew what he would have to bear when he gave up Feng Guang, but he still chose to walk this path.
He's content as long as he has Yan Niannian.
Shen Xing always believed that Yan Niannian liked him too. Even if she didn't like him, he could try his best to make her like him. Yes, Yan Niannian liked him, but it was only at the level of liking.
Shen Xing wanted more, but Yan Niannian couldn't give him that much.
Shen Xing thought more than once that in six years, he would become the most important person in Yan Niannian's heart, but he also forgot that the only thing in this world that cannot be warmed is the human heart.
Shen Xing had always known, from the very beginning, that Yan Niannian approached him with a purpose. At first, he didn't know what her purpose was, until the Xia family released the news that Xia Fengguang and Lu Chen were getting married, and Shen Xing saw Yan Niannian looking distraught.
At that moment, he understood everything.
Yan Niannian's true love was never him; her true love was only Xia Fengguang.
This was Shen Xing's secret, and he dared not let anyone know it.
As for now... he will not let Feng Guang know this secret. Shen Xing just wants to die. He is looking forward to... looking forward to how Yan Niannian will react after he dies at Lu Chen's hands.
Shen Xing believed that although Yan Niannian did not love him, she did not dislike him. Moreover, because of Lu Chen and Feng Guang's relationship, Yan Niannian already hated Lu Chen. Perhaps... just perhaps, Yan Niannian would seek revenge on Shen Xing by finding Lu Chen.
Of course, Yan Niannian is no match for Lu Chen, so she will die too.
Though we may not share a bed in life, we shall share a grave in death.
Shen Xing had always liked this saying, but he couldn't bear to do anything to Yan Niannian, so he could only use Lu Chen's hand.
This is a good idea, a... good idea that will allow him to be with the person he loves forever.
"You want to die at Lu Chen's hands?" Feng Guang curled his lips in a sarcastic smile. "Don't even dream about it. I won't tell Lu Chen what happened today."
Why?
The scenery was hard to describe. Perhaps she didn't want to fulfill Shen Xing's wish, or perhaps... she didn't want Lu Chen's hands to be stained with blood.
Shen Xing looked at Feng Guang and laughed, "Xia Feng Guang, you're too naive. With Lu Chen's possessiveness towards you, do you think all your actions are out of his control? I bet he'll be here soon."
Feng Guang's face stiffened, and her unease intensified. She knew that what Shen Xing said was true. She stood up, gave Shen Xing one last cold look, and turned to leave the cake shop.
It was afternoon, and there weren't many people on the street. Feng Guang walked aimlessly, not knowing where to go. Her head was still throbbing, and the sunlight was so bright it hurt her eyes. Finally, she stopped walking, exhausted.
Shen Xing's words kept echoing in her mind, like countless sharp blades tormenting her brain, as if the lid of a bottle hidden in a corner had been opened, and all the forgotten things surged in at this moment.
