"Give……"
Chen Yun handed Wen Maidong a cup of hot tea, a medicinal tea made with herbs. She thought it would make him feel better, because what she was about to say might be a little uncomfortable for Wen Maidong.
"Niuniu...I..."
"Don't say anything. I think it's my turn to speak."
Shen Yun looked at the man in front of her seriously. He was charming and attracted her, but she was sure that she only felt like a brother to him. She might not love anyone, and it was impossible for her to love anyone.
"I admit that I have a very low emotional intelligence. They say that's what geniuses are like. Their IQ is higher than their EQ, maybe even that of a child."
Chen Yun laughed at himself and analyzed himself. "That day, after you confessed your feelings to me, I was flustered and terrified, not knowing what to do. But I also felt a sense of joy, perhaps that's what you call a heartbeat."
Wen Maidong couldn't help but jump for joy when he heard this. Perhaps he didn't need to be so afraid. Chen Yun was also moved. Did that mean that there could be further development between them?
"But... some time ago, everything was gone."
Staring at Wen Maidong's eyes, which had just ignited a flame, Shen Yun fell silent. She knew that everything was different. Watching the light in those eyes grow from blazing brightly to slowly extinguishing, anyone could feel the heartbreak and pain. At least, it wasn't to the point of heartbreak. Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise!
"I don't know why this has such a big impact." Shen Yun couldn't explain it either.
"No... I don't believe it. This isn't true."
Wen Maidong looked at Shen Yun. He didn't think others could influence them. Why should they make other people's mistakes their own? He didn't agree with it. He didn't agree with all this.
"It's true. I think it's better for us to return to the way we were before. Really."
An extremely sincere tone, an extremely cruel answer.
"No, it's not appropriate, not at all."
Wen Maidong excitedly pulled Shen Yun, not wanting her to continue. It was too hurtful, too heartbreaking. He had worked so hard for so long, and when he finally achieved a little success, he was flatly denied. It was a crushing blow.
"How can it be unsuitable? You haven't even tried it yet and you say it's unsuitable. Isn't that too arbitrary?"
He didn't want to accept this answer, nor did he want to accept this fact. At this moment, Wen Maidong could only think of trying to keep her. He didn't know what to do, or how to proceed.
"If that's the case, we probably won't even be able to be friends anymore."
After saying this, Shen Yun stood up and left. Although this might be a bit cruel, it was better to be decisive than to get entangled. Shen Yun didn't want to cause any trouble either. She hoped to spend more time on her research. Romantic matters were not her cup of tea, and only experiments and research were where her heart belonged.
Wen Maidong watched Chen Yun's ruthless departure, his heart aching. He finally felt powerlessness and the pain of a heartache that had numbed him.
"Have you made it clear?"
Shen Feng looked at his sister and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure she was okay.
Just now, he was worried that they wouldn't reach an agreement, or that something unexpected would happen, which would make things even more difficult. Wen Maidong wasn't someone who gave up easily, and his sister was also decisive and resolute. If they were together, it would take longer to adjust, but if they weren't together, it would actually be a good thing.
"We've talked it through. I'm fine, but Brother Maidong seems to be in a bad state. Brother, I guess you'll have to clean up the mess."
After saying this, Shen Yun turned around and went back to her room. She was used to thinking quietly by herself. She also took the opportunity to let them calm down a little. It would be best if they didn't see each other during this period, so that there would be no awkward situations.
Buddha said: "There are eight sufferings in life: birth, aging, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, persistent resentment, unfulfilled desires, and the inability to let go." She thought it would be nice to be a Buddhist, so she wouldn't worry about these things, wouldn't be so entangled in them. Love is too extravagant, and for now, she doesn't want to touch such a luxury.
"Do you want to drink?"
Chen Feng walked over to the stone bench and sat down. He looked at the visibly upset Wen Maidong and couldn't help but worry about him. Luckily, he didn't have any feelings, and luckily, he hadn't encountered one yet. He didn't know what it would be like if he encountered something like that in the future; he didn't dare to think about it.
"Drink..." Wen Maidong just wanted to get drunk. He didn't want to say anything, and there was nothing to say at the moment.
Watching the one you love so resolutely leave, without even giving him a second chance, is a heart-wrenching feeling. It's true: love is like that. It can be heartbreaking, yet also leave you yearning for more.
wine cellar
The three men sat on each side, with a number of wine bottles and glasses placed in front of them. These wines were all brewed by Chen Yun. Unfortunately, the three men just wanted to relieve their worries. Even if these wines were worth a fortune, they would not attract people's attention or cherish them at this moment, because they did not care.
"Why?"
“No reason, I think it’s good.”
Chen Feng and Shen Yu looked at Wen Maidong with a smile. They sympathized with him, but their principles would not be changed.
"Then why did you come here? To laugh at me?" Wen Maidong said drunkenly.
"No, it's to comfort your weak heart. It's not terrible to fail once, just cheer up."
Patting Wen Maidong on the shoulder, he should give up his sister and turn to another target! At least, Shen Feng and Shen Yu still don’t like any wolf that peeks at their sister, whether it’s a brother or not.
"No one can be her, it can't be her."
As he kept muttering, the depth and darkness in Wen Maidong's eyes frightened them. Shen Feng and Shen Yu suddenly felt as dangerous as if a ferocious beast was about to be released from its cage.
"Crazy..."
Chen Feng and his brother exchanged glances, each aware of their own restlessness. Perhaps, they thought, they needed to be more cautious going forward. Clearly, his sister's showdown hadn't dissuaded Wen Maidong from his thoughts; it had even put him in greater danger. The beast was unleashed, and the danger was even greater.
"You...you must calm down."
A slap landed on Wen Maidong's back, and Shen Feng stared at him with serious eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm not crazy enough yet."
Suppressing the beast within him, Wen Maidong looked at the two nervous brothers with a self-deprecating look. He could suppress it for the time being and remain calm, but he couldn't guarantee what would happen next, as he himself had no idea what would happen next or how it would develop.
"Keep your composure. I don't want to see you regretting it."
"Yes, you must not do anything crazy or stupid. Otherwise... you will be doomed."
As soon as Shen Feng and Shen Yu finished their words, Wen Maidong's expression changed. He looked completely indifferent, and extremely cruel. It was as if something hidden in him had broken free.
