Watching her grow from a short-limbed little radish into a clever and shrewd little fox, even though he disliked her and always liked to argue with her, he didn't realize that he had lost his heart to her.
In those years of waiting for her to grow up, he became more and more determined in his feelings for her.
Can…
What they lacked was never fate, nor time, but Momo's heart, which had never been moved by him in the slightest.
He should have realized long ago that he never lost to Ji Muhan, but to Momo's unwavering heart.
Though my love is as deep as the sea, it cannot withstand the fact that your heart has already been given to someone else…
Mo Xiaoqing lowered her eyes, her long, thick eyelashes casting shadows that were difficult to decipher.
She was still holding that not-so-large umbrella in her hand, her mind already heavy with worries. In a daze, Qiao Qian'an had already walked further and further away from her sight.
Just like when he came, silently…
He left just as quietly as he did...
Only a desolate and sorrowful figure remained...
Mo Xiaoqing stood there watching for a long time, until he disappeared...
She sighed softly, unable to understand why things had turned out this way.
The burden and heaviness in my heart kept inexplicably deepening...
Perhaps she still feels some guilt towards him?
Qiao Qian'an was right about one thing: he had long been head over heels in love with Ji Muhan, which was why his heart had become increasingly...hard.
Mo Tingqi walked out of the house, holding an umbrella in one hand, and silently approached Mo Xiaoqing from behind. "He's gone?"
Mo Xiaoqing nodded, "Mm."
Mo Tingqi felt a strange, heavy feeling in his heart. Even though Qiao Qian'an's confession had been rejected, he suddenly felt a pang of sorrow, a sense of shared loss. "Actually, I saw it coming years ago, but I never told you. I thought that one day, if he could tell you, perhaps..."
He still has a sliver of hope!
However, he knew that no matter what, Mo Xiaoqing would not be with him…
Ultimately, they were just two people in the same boat...
Mo Xiaoqing sighed deeply, her eyes fixed on the direction where Qiao Qian'an's figure had disappeared. "Third Brother, did I make a mistake this time?"
Perhaps he shouldn't have been so harsh. In the instant Qiao Qian'an turned away, she seemed to vaguely see the despair in his eyes.
It's the feeling of gambling everything you have, only to find that you've lost everything overnight.
"You're not wrong, that's just how relationships are."
No one can replace the one destined for you…
That's why he struggled so desperately, watching himself sink deeper into despair, seemingly beyond redemption...
It was precisely because he had come to this realization that he felt even more empty and desolate inside. The helplessness of knowing that Momo didn't like him, yet still refusing to face it, made him increasingly pathetic...
In the end, he and Qiao Qian'an were the same—equally pitiful, equally tragic, and equally... only able to watch their loved ones from afar, while remaining... a shadow.
Mo Xiaoqing paused for a moment, "But... I always felt there was something inexplicably dangerous about his back view..."
She was indeed ruthless, but at the same time, Qiao Qian'an was always different from others. During the days when she could only recuperate at home, Qiao Qian'an was like an older brother by her side.
Although... this older brother is a bit... sarcastic.
Mo Tingqi's eyes flickered slightly, his smile gentle, and he patted her hair. "Silly girl, don't think so much. Even if he's not doing well, he's still a man. If he couldn't let go of such a small thing, he wouldn't be where he is today."
Mo Xiaoqing thought about it for a moment and then felt relieved. If Qiao Qian'an were so easily defeated that he couldn't get back up, then he wouldn't be him!
She smiled with relief and said calmly, "I still feel a little guilty towards him."
A glint of light flashed in Mo Tingqi's eyes, and he sighed with a somewhat ambiguous tone, "Actually, after this is made clear, you two will not have any contact in the future."
Actually, she had already explained everything at the hospital last time, but... she was unwilling to accept it, which is why she acted so recklessly and came straight here in the pouring rain.
He was only doing this for one last chance.
Even knowing there's absolutely no chance, I still want to take a gamble.
Qiao Qian'an is free now, but he...
Mo Tingqi's narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes were tinged with a melancholy he rarely showed. He, who usually viewed everything with a detached, detached attitude, felt a deep sadness at this moment...
