Only when the sound of a door closing reached her ears did Shu Qianxin, who was hiding in another ward, finally emerge from the shadows.
She heard every word of their conversation in the quiet space.
She never imagined that her brother had always been in love with her second sister; she only found out about this today.
No wonder, no wonder my brother risked his life to rescue my second sister from the kidnappers.
Even though my second sister had already registered her marriage with her brother, Righteous.
He remained unreserved.
Shocked by the news, Shu Qianxin leaned against the wall, slowly closed her eyes, and stood there stunned for a long time.
This was the first time she felt powerless and frustrated. She couldn't help her brother, couldn't stop what was happening, and couldn't change anything on her own.
I originally thought it was a fight between the snipe and the clam.
It will only be a situation where the fisherman benefits.
Unexpectedly, Shu Yi was not a "snake," Qin Miyou was not a "clam," and she was not a "fisherman."
She lost, and lost badly.
In this game, she wasn't even a participant, yet she naively and ridiculously believed it.
Zhang Youye will belong to her.
In the end, it all turned out to be nothing more than a ridiculous joke.
Leaving the ward, feeling utterly defeated and helpless, with a bitter smile on her face, Shu Qianxin dragged her heavy steps.
In the gusts of cold wind, she didn't look back, disappearing step by step at the end of the corridor.
...
The next day.
The wind was biting cold outside, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed ominous, as if it were about to snow.
Upon learning from Zhang Youye that Shu Chuanran had woken up, Shu Yi pushed away the arm blocking her way and struggled to get up from the hospital bed.
"Don't stop me, I'm going next door to see what's wrong with Chuanran?"
"Is it okay if we don't go?" Zhang Youye frowned.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't we agree to thank him properly?" Shu Yi asked, puzzled.
Perhaps because he didn't rescue Shuyi immediately, he felt awkward about himself and didn't know how to tell Shuyi that Shu Chuanran had ill intentions.
Zhang Youye pursed his lips and changed the subject.
"You can go, but just take one look and come back, promise me, okay?"
Sensing the unease in his tone, Shu Yi grasped his palm and comforted him with a smile.
"Can you stop being so jealous? Don't you trust me at all? Am I that unworthy of your trust?"
"Yes." Zhang Youye nodded eagerly.
"What do you mean?" Shu Yi laughed in exasperation. "Are you saying I'm promiscuous?"
"No." Zhang Youye shook his head impatiently again.
"So what do you mean by this?"
"because..."
"Why?"
As if he didn't want her to see his inexplicably reddened eyes, after his emotions had surged and churned in his heart, he lowered his trembling eyelashes and spoke lightly, but his tone carried a sense of helplessness and grievance.
"Because you have never said you love me."
As the dry, hoarse voice faded, Shu Yi paused.
At that moment, she suddenly came to her senses and finally understood why he didn't want to go next door, but she couldn't see how much helplessness was hidden in the emotions floating in his eyes.
She could only make out that he was pulling at the corners of his pale lips, and that the sharp lines of his jaw were taut.
Receiving no response and unable to know her inner thoughts, Zhang Youye remained silent for a moment before looking up at her.
The two stood facing each other, and he stared straight at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, a woman who would forever capture his heart in an instant.
“Shuyi, the whole world knows I love you. But I’m not sure if you love me too,” he said.
Stunned by his slightly lowered eyes and questioning, slightly hoarse tone, Shu Yi bit her lip and met his gaze.
His dark eyes were misty and heavy, as if something was trapped inside.
Shu Yi felt a sudden tightness in her chest, and the air seemed to pause for a few seconds. She opened her mouth, but was interrupted by the other person's actions.
He suddenly pulled her into his arms, holding her slender body tightly, as if trying to squeeze her into his body and completely merge with him.
"Shuyi, I don't want to hear you say you like me. What I want is love, do you understand? I just want you to love me, I want you to always love me, I want you to love only me."
"And it can only be me, and only me."
Do you understand?
He whispered passionately in her ear, telling her, word by word, just how much he loved her.
His madness, his possessiveness, his jealousy.
It made him unable to control himself and remain calm.
He had no idea what kind of entanglement Shu Chuanran's feelings would create between the three of them in the future.
Therefore, he must nip all inappropriate images in the bud.
It must be admitted that Shu Chuanran is a formidable rival.
He is a formidable rival who is just as obsessed as he is.
After all, the other party wasn't even afraid of death.
Only someone who isn't even afraid of death could make Zhang Youye feel an immense threat.
