0019 Silent Words (5)
It's hard for teenagers who are seventeen or eighteen to hide their feelings when they fall in love with someone.
He Lingling's father is a mechanic at an oil factory, and her mother devotes most of her energy to the family, doing simple, odd jobs in her spare time to supplement the family income.
H County is a relatively backward and poor place, but Lingling always feels very happy and content because she has parents who, although not highly educated, have always loved, supported, and understood her.
Lingling's home is a self-built two-story house. Lingling's room is on the second floor, and from the window, she can see the view not far away. So when her mother called her friend from downstairs, and she saw that it was Du Fenfang, she immediately jumped and ran down to greet her.
Unlike her initial enthusiasm, Fenfang became hesitant and stammering in front of Lingling. Yes, how should she tell Lingling? Should she confess her love for Shen Yan entirely?
Of course not!
Her original intention was to get Lingling and Shen Yan back together. If Lingling knew that she had other feelings for Shen Yan, she would definitely think that she had ulterior motives and wanted to break them up.
But how can I let her know my purpose?
Du Fenfang then began to lament her own impulsiveness; her usually talkative mouth was now completely silent. So she had no choice but to first figure out Lingling's thoughts.
She asked Lingling if she was dating Chen Yixu. He Lingling seemed stunned for a moment, then choked on her words.
She assumed that Lingling and Chen Yixu must be together because they were so close, but Lingling then shook her head.
She didn't know whether she should believe it or not, because the girl in front of her was clearly blushing.
She felt a sudden, inexplicable sense of loss, followed by anger. If she wasn't with Chen Yixu, why was she so intimate with him? Could she really show such a sweet smile to someone she didn't like, only to hurt the person who silently loved her?
She remembered Shen Yan, who was bedridden and still calling out Lingling's name, and suddenly said to Lingling in a cold tone, "Then don't be with Chen Yixu anymore! I told you long ago that he's not a good person. Do you want to be hurt by him? Do you want to suffer... Do you want the people close to you to be hurt because of him? Lingling, think carefully about who you love!"
Before Lingling could react, she angrily left Lingling's house. She could still hear He's mother chasing after her, asking, "Why didn't you eat before you left?" She couldn't turn back. She kept telling herself that what she said was right, but a sense of powerlessness overwhelmed her.
The stunned expression on Lingling's face just now made her hate herself. She felt that the person who had so freely spoken ill of Chen Yixu was no longer the same person she used to be. In fact, she could never go back to that past. She had never truly understood Chen Yixu, that handsome boy who was rumored to be unruly and difficult to manage. But she didn't want to remain silent and hurt, even if it meant hurting others…
No one expected that her words would come true. The gentle and refined Shen Yan, whom she wanted to protect with all her might, was cruelly destroyed by Chen Yixu.
She hated Chen Yixu, and by extension He Lingling, who was by Chen Yixu's side. Even though they had been so close, she could not tolerate them bringing disaster to Shen Yan.
He could have become an excellent university teacher, or been busy with his data in the lab. His bright future was ruined by these two people.
She still remembers the car accident clearly.
Unlike the previous one, which was clearly orchestrated and where Shen Yan was the only victim.
The scene was a bloody mess, and Shen Yan lay in a pool of blood. She even thought Shen Yan was going to pay with his life for it, but fortunately it was only his right leg, which was enough to break him, who was as gentle as a breeze and as bright as the moon.
It was Chen Yixu. She knew.
She witnessed Chen Yixu drinking tea with the perpetrator in the same room. At that time, Shen Yan was still in the intensive care unit and couldn't understand why there could be such a cruel person who could ruin someone else's life and still be so carefree as if it were none of their business.
She went to the police and wrote letters to appeal, but nothing worked.
She finally understood the mysterious family background of Chen Yixu, who had broken someone's leg yet emerged unscathed from the police station. She also finally understood the meaning of power—it meant being able to easily manipulate human lives and still leisurely drink tea without doing anything.
And she was in so much pain that she wept blood.
But what about He Lingling? Even in his unconscious state, Shen Yan kept calling her name. What was she doing then? She was still going in and out with Chen Yixu.
She finally couldn't resist going to see her.
But she was so heartless. She said, "Yes, Fenfang, I am still with Chen Yixu."
She saw with her own eyes the tears sliding down Shen Yan's cheeks as he pretended to be still asleep.
Just like today, seven years later, when she asked, "Are you still with Chen Yixu?" she still nodded affirmatively.
"That's good," she said.
She held her phone, which was currently on a call, even closer.
She should let Shen Yan know that the three words he cherishes most in Lingling's heart have always been "Chen Yixu," not him.
And she was finally able to say something that made her pale after hearing He Lingling's affirmative answer—"I'm getting married to Teacher Shen."
Let them be together forever; villains should fall in love. Even though she couldn't avenge Shen Yan, she knew true happiness would never come to them; she would curse them for all eternity.
P.S.: I'm such a workaholic, I was even working on New Year's Eve (just kidding).
