Yang Shushu asked Ling Xiao to take her to Qianli Square, but Ling Xiao insisted on taking her home.
"It's dark now, and I'm worried about leaving you there alone," he said.
Yang Shushu frowned slightly. In her memory, Ling Xiao never liked to force others, but what happened today?
"Brother Ling, it wouldn't be good if Mu Shicang saw us together. Let's avoid suspicion."
Ling Xiao was still driving, with no intention of stopping: "If he can't even give you this little trust, Shushu, do you think he can really love you?"
Yang Shushu was silent for a while. Ling Xiao turned to look at her, only to see her staring at him silently, with a hint of impatience in her expression. His heart ached, and the car stopped. "Shushu, I..."
"Brother Ling, you've never talked about others behind their backs like this before. Don't let yourself become someone you don't even like, okay?" She said it quite knowingly.
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but finally laughed. He raised his head, and at this moment a car whizzed past on the side of the road. The light and shadow quickly passed over his face, and then quickly disappeared. At that moment, Yang Shushu saw the jealousy in his eyes that should not have flashed on his face. She didn't quite understand why he was like this?
Ling Xiao raised his head, then lowered it again, gently tapping the steering wheel with his hands. He first chuckled, then laughed loudly, and finally laughed out loud.
Yang Shushu looked at him in silence. He suddenly stopped laughing and turned to look at her. Unlike his usual gentleness, his eyes were filled with a struggling anger. "What do you think I should be like that you like the most?"
Yang Shushu was very calm: "People who like you will like you no matter what you look like. People who don't like you will still dislike you even if you become a perfect god. You shouldn't ask me this question."
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed again. This time, he buried his face in the steering wheel and just laughed softly, "Shushu, I never thought you would say something like this to me one day. Like me? You know? You once told me that no matter what I look like, you will always like me."
Yang Shushu closed her eyes. Now the emotions of her original body could rarely affect her, but she still remembered some of the memories they had in the past.
"I've died before, Brother Ling. Have you heard of Nirvana? Just think of me as being reborn as another soul."
After she finished speaking, she reached out to unlock the car door, then turned to get out. At this moment, she heard Ling Xiao's voice behind her, low and firm: "I have never forced anything in my life. What I think is mine is mine, and I won't force it if it's not mine. But this time... I want to take back what belongs to me."
Yang Shushu just paused, opened the door and got out of the car, then walked around to the back of the car to get her own tram.
Ling Xiao also got out of the car and helped take her car down, but when he put it on the ground, he held it down: "Call Mu Shicang and ask her to pick you up. I'll be here with you and wait. Don't worry, I'll leave when he's almost here."
Yang Shushu glanced at him and wanted to refuse, but after seeing his eyes, she thought about it and closed her mouth again.
She took the phone to call Mu Shicang, but the phone happened to ring, and it was Mu Shicang's number.
"Shushu, where are you now?" His voice was gentle, but it was not difficult to hear a hint of urgency in it, as well as a gloom that had not been felt in him for a long time.
She had never liked the gloomy, almost paranoid look in him, but sensing his eagerness, Yang Shushu couldn't control the corners of her mouth: "The car ran out of battery halfway, and I'm at Qianli Square now."
"Okay, then don't run around there. I'll be right there to pick you up."
Yang Shushu was about to hang up, but he said, "Don't hang up. I have to make sure you're always here."
“…I can’t lose it again.”
"You've lost it twice. I can't let this happen a third time." Then came the sound of him closing the car door.
Yang Shushu was helpless, but she didn't hang up the phone. She just took the phone in her hand, opened the message interface, and typed a line of words for Ling Xiao to see: Mu Shicang is about to come, Brother Ling, thank you, you go back first.
Ling Xiao wanted to say something, but she had already turned around and pushed the cart away. As she left, she said into the phone, "I'll wait for you under the statue in the square."
Ling Xiao stood there, his usually calm face showing a hint of hostility. For a moment, he even wanted to follow her. If Mu Shicang knew that she was with him, he would definitely be angry, and then the two of them would inevitably quarrel.
When the thought flashed through his mind, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at himself: It turned out that he was so despicable.
Yang Shushu didn't know what he was thinking, because she didn't even turn her head once. Ling Xiao didn't understand how a person could change so quickly and how love could disappear so completely. How much Shushu relied on him before, how much she ignored him now.
What I once thought I would never lose, now I can’t even reach out and touch.
……………………
More than ten minutes later, Mu Shicang had already arrived at Qianli Square. This speed almost scared Yang Shushu to death.
Watching him running towards her, his hair, which was usually combed neatly, had been blown down by the wind, making it messy but with a bold and unrestrained youthful spirit. From a distance, he waved at her, and his smile looked bright and moving under the lights of the square. Yang Shushu smiled unconsciously.
Suddenly, an idea came to my mind: It’s actually pretty good to live like this for the rest of my life.
Mu Shicang felt relieved when he saw her standing there safely.
Seeing him sweating profusely from running, Yang Shushu wiped his sweat for him and asked, "Did you fly here?"
"No, at least you obeyed the traffic rules. But it's already dark and I'm really worried about you being out there alone."
Mu Shicang raised his hand and grabbed hers: "Why did you come here alone?"
Yang Shushu choked. Although she felt that lying was not a good idea, she thought about it and decided not to tell the truth: "I was alone and had nothing to do, so I wanted to go for a walk. I didn't pay attention to the battery level of the car."
Mu Shicang didn't ask any more questions. He took the cart from her hand, pushing it with one hand and holding her hand with the other: "Grandpa asked us to go back for dinner tonight. Let's go back together?"
As for Mu Yuan, Yang Shushu actually didn't really want to go back, but she also understood that if she really planned to spend her life with him, she couldn't hide forever.
"OK."
The two walked out of the square hand in hand. Mu Shicang's outstanding appearance attracted countless eyes passing by them, especially a group of young girls.
I felt an indescribable sense of pride in being a woman.
Haha - such an outstanding man is my husband, it’s useless for you to just look at him!
Seeing her holding his arm as if swearing ownership, Mu Shicang's smile seemed to be filled with something.
When his parents left him, he never knew that his heart would one day become so soft!
