As Xiao Jingran quickly caught up with Shen Ye and Ye Sheng, he was about to say something when a cold yet familiar voice rang out.
"let's go."
Her cold voice was full of impatience, and she never looked him in the eye.
"I have something to ask you." He grabbed Shen Ye's arm.
"Ye Sheng, wait for me up ahead, I'll be there soon." Shen Ye smiled at Ye Sheng as beautifully as ever.
After Ye Sheng left, Shen Ye's eyes were filled with disgust, as if even looking at him would offend her.
"Ask whatever you want to know."
The look of disgust shattered the last vestige of hope in Xiao Jingran's heart.
"Ye Sheng is waiting for me, let's not waste everyone's time, okay?"
Even after so many days, he still remembered the way Shen Ye stabbed that knife into his chest, his eyes clearly showing heartache.
Her cold fingers trembled as she tried to grab Shen Ye's hand, but he slapped her away in disgust.
"I'll be going now if there's nothing else."
Every day, every second, every time I closed my eyes, I could see that cold, perfect face, those mesmerizing eyes. Now, they finally appeared before me.
However, Shen Ye no longer wanted to be 'infatuated' with him.
Such a cold and indifferent tone and expression were as if a hand had reached into Xiao Jingran's chest and torn a huge hole in it.
"Jinxiu." Xiao Jingran swallowed the bitterness in her heart and pulled Shen Ye, who was about to leave, back. "I just want to ask you, in your heart, am I never as good as Ye Sheng?"
"You are not worthy to be compared to him." The voice, as if from hell, instantly turned Xiao Jingran's last remaining hope into nothingness.
Shaking off Xiao Jingran's hand, Shen Ye didn't even spare him a glance.
Suddenly, my heart ached.
It hurts so much, it really hurts!
"Jinxiu!" With each word, his heart trembled violently with pain. He clutched his chest with all his might, nodded slightly, and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of him with sorrow in his eyes.
“If you don’t want to see me, I won’t force you. If you don’t want to come back to me, I’ll wait for you, until you stop hating me. No matter how long it takes, even if it takes my whole life, I will wait to the end.” Xiao Jingran paused, his fingers trembling as he clutched his chest. “Jinxiu, I said I was wrong. Will you still give me hope? Even just a glance… would be enough!”
Shen Ye stopped and turned to look at Xiao Jingran, scrutinizing the person in front of him again.
Do you know why I depend on Ye Sheng?
Xiao Jingran looked at him with sorrow, waiting for him to continue.
"Because I saw hope in him." Two clear tears fell, her eyes reddening.
What he can give you, I can give you too...
“Xiao Jingran, do you remember? I said I wanted to see the vast landscape, to see the street vendors, to see the sunrise and sunset, but you thought I wanted to leave you, and thus you left me with wounds and pain all over my body. You were the one who pushed me away.”
"I......."
"You said you were as lovely as jade, and that we would be together forever. Later, at the long pavilion, gazing into the distance, the night was slightly cool." The icy face, like a sculpture, and the cold, merciless voice extinguished the hope that had risen in Xiao Jingran's heart.
They have very few memories together; there's mostly hurt between them.
People say that drinking poison can quench thirst, but I live on that poison.
Xiao Jingran strained to lift his head and look at Shen Ye. If he could remember even a little bit of him, if he could remember that someone was waiting for him...
That's fine!
However, Shen Ye turned and left with disgust, as if staying even a second longer would make him feel nauseous.
