At night, whenever a disciple entered the top forty peaks, the lights were on and there was laughter and joy.
Yu Xingwu is not a sentimental person. Although the heroine lost the competition and could not enter the Mirror Island, the system asked her to remain calm, so she really remained calm.
You can't just cry, make a fuss, and then hang yourself!
As long as she doesn't do that and the system doesn't give any other prompts, it means that the storyline can still go on.
Then why should she worry about anything? Maybe the plot guy will come back on his own one day!
As long as the general plot direction remains unchanged and the relationship between the male and female protagonists is stable, her return home will be safe!
There was another thing that made her happy and looking forward to, which was that after the competition was over, Shen Zhuo would ask her to cancel the engagement.
Regardless of whether Shen Zhuo likes the heroine now, this forced marriage is unfair to him.
She was forced by her mother to go on blind dates and could understand the pain of being forced into marriage. It was even more sad to marry someone you didn't love.
Therefore, she sincerely hoped that the engagement could be cancelled.
Shen Zhuo is not the kind of person who would not resist when being forced. The reason why Yu Yuefu was kicked off the competition stage by Shen Zhuo was probably largely related to Yu Zheng.
Shen Zhuo hated Yu Zheng for forcing him, but she was only Yu Zheng's adopted daughter, which led Shen Zhuo to shift the target of revenge to Yu Yuefu.
So, she thought that Shen Zhuo probably didn't want to humiliate her by breaking off the engagement anymore, and once she and Shen Zhuo broke off the engagement, the grudge between them would be settled.
…
Just as Yu Xingwu guessed, during the entire celebratory dinner, Shen Zhuo never mentioned the cancellation of the engagement to her in front of everyone.
Until the end of the dinner, when she was about to return to Yanyun Peak and thought that Shen Zhuo would not ask her to cancel the engagement tonight, Shen Zhuo stopped her for the rare time.
There was an obscure look in a pair of light brown eyes: "I have something to tell you."
Yu Xingwu's inner groundhog screamed, and the system also said: "Here it comes! The plot of breaking off the engagement is coming!"
Yu Xingwu suppressed her excitement and asked with a confused and curious expression: "What does Second Senior Brother want to tell me?"
Shen Zhuo was silent, his eyes fixed on Yu Xingwu, and after a long while he finally uttered three words: "Go back to the peak and tell me."
Yu Xingwu naturally knew that Shen Zhuo was talking about returning to Yanyun Peak. Didn’t he not want to go to her Yanyun Peak?
But on second thought, since he didn't want to tell her about the breakup in public, he wanted to tell her alone, and maybe even say something to warn her, so he naturally had to find a place where no one was around.
So she returned happily all the way back to Yanyun Peak. Of course, her happiness was only because she entered the top 40 in the competition!
At the top of the peak, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, with swaying shadows of trees.
It's a good day to break off an engagement.
Yu Xingwu stood on the peak, blinking her big, lively eyes, and asked impatiently, "Second Senior Brother, what do you want to tell me?"
[Hurry up and tell me! Hurry up and tell me! I'm ready to cry my heart out! ]
Shen Zhuo: “…” That’s right, you have never really liked me. Even if you knew that I wanted to cancel the engagement, you would only feel happy.
At the dinner three years ago, you were waiting for me to cancel the engagement, and now, you have finally got your wish.
But why is it that in the end, the person who can't be happy is me...
He even thought that if she really liked him and was not acting, and every word she said about her love for him was true, he would go against Yu Zheng's wishes and not break off the engagement with her.
It’s a pity that there is no if. Even if he doesn’t want to cancel the engagement, the cancellation of the engagement has already become a foregone conclusion.
He also took out the dragon and phoenix pendant that he had been holding in his hand all the way under his sleeve and presented it to Yu Xingwu.
On the open palm was a jade pendant with a warm color and carved with dragon and phoenix totems, and the names of the two people were engraved on it.
For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat frozen. Yu Xingwu knew it was her turn to take over the show, and asked with a confused expression: "Second Brother, what do you mean by this? Why did you take out the engagement jade pendant out of the blue?"
Shen Zhuo lowered his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes casting a small shadow on his face under the moonlight. His thin lips moved slightly, and his voice was a little low: "Yu Xingwu, let's cancel the engagement."
I don’t know whether he didn’t want to give Yu Xingwu a chance to act, or he didn’t want to give himself a chance to regret, but the moment he finished speaking, he crushed the dragon and phoenix pendant in his hand.
The jade pendant shattered, fell to the ground, and shattered even further.
It seemed to be telling Shen Zhuo that the engagement had been cancelled, and a canceled engagement was like a broken jade pendant that could never be put together again.
Yu Xingwu stared at the jade pendant that was broken into several pieces on the ground, and for a moment she even forgot to continue the show.
Until the system's voice sounded: "Ouch, it hurts! It hurts so much! I can't stop crying!"
"Since the host has contributed so much to me, this system has decided to give the host a tear-jerking and heart-wrenching prop for free - the rain on the day Yiping asked her father for money!"
"Free props were given away successfully! Host, please start your performance!"
The moon was shining brightly in the night sky, but suddenly dark clouds covered it. A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and heavy rain poured down!
Yu Xingwu stood there in a daze, and almost in an instant her clothes were soaked by the heavy rain!
Apart from one word MMP, Yu Xingwu didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment!
The dog system shouted excitedly: "Host, how is it! Is the rain heavy enough? Is it tear-jerking? I want to cry!"
"Host, please act quickly! I am immersed in the grief and sadness of the broken engagement plot, please act to make me cry!"
Yu Xingwu was speechless and couldn't say anything. She never thought that one day she would be caught in the same rain as the day when Yiping asked her father for money. She would really be grateful.
But the rain has already fallen, and she has to finish the plot of breaking off the engagement, in order to maintain her character and not to waste the rain.
Yes, there are also points! She said before that she would wait until the engagement was cancelled and take the opportunity to earn some points! Here it comes!
He wiped the rain running down his face with his hand, with no intention of opening the barrier at all.
With a trembling and tearful voice, she asked: "Second Brother, you knew that I loved you so much and that I would die without you, so why did you break off the engagement with me? Can't you just try to accept me?!"
System: "Points +200!"
"Why are you so heartless to me and even destroyed the engagement jade pendant in front of me? Do you hate me so much? I love you so much, but I can't even get a little love from you!"
System: "Points +200!"
"Don't think you can get rid of me by destroying the jade pendant and breaking off the engagement with me. As long as I like someone, no matter if he is a person or an object, I will do everything I can to get him! I like you, even if I have to use all means, I will get you!"
System: "Points +200!"
Yu Xingwu opened her mouth and wanted to continue talking, but the rain was so heavy that when she opened her mouth, all the rain went into her mouth! She couldn't open her mouth at all!
Even rain got into her eyes, as if she had really cried.
She also set her eyes on Shen Zhuo. After all, he had seen her in such a miserable state, so it would be fair for her to see his miserable state as well!
But she saw that he just let the rain hit his face, and the emotions swirling in his eyes were something she had never seen before.
