Mu Chenshuang stared intently at the person opposite her, her gaze fixed on them. To others, she seemed anxiously anticipating something.
At this moment.
Mu Chenshuang sensed someone behind her, turned around abruptly, and instinctively called out, "Fu..."
However, before she could finish speaking, she froze on the spot, her eyes dimming slightly.
After the dragon dance team passed by.
Fu Junheng carried a lantern and a mask and walked towards the other side, only to find that the spot where Mu Chenshuang had been standing was empty.
He strode forward, his handsome face turning cold and stern as he looked around.
Seeing Fu Junheng's flustered appearance, the old woman selling candy nearby reminded him, "Your young lady has been taken away by another young master."
The old woman thought to herself, "That girl looks so clean and innocent, I never expected her to be so entangled with men."
Fu Junheng turned around, and his cold, sharp gaze made the old woman tremble. "Which way did they go?"
The old woman pointed cautiously ahead, "Just... just walked forward."
As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind swept across her face, and when she opened her eyes again, the man was nowhere to be seen.
For quite a while.
The old woman finally came to her senses. Just moments ago, he had been so gentle and tender with that girl, but now he looked like the King of Hell.
Yugou Bridge is the longest bridge in Chang'an Street. The restaurants on both sides of the river are bustling and prosperous. Here you can enjoy the riverside scenery and watch the fireworks bloom in the sky.
Shen Nanzhi led Mu Chenshuang across the long bridge to a private room in the restaurant on the other side.
"The view from the private room we booked in advance is even more beautiful." Shen Nanzhi's gaze fell into the distance, and although there was a smile on his lips, a hint of worry could be detected between his brows and eyes.
Mu Chenshuang looked at him. Just now, he had grabbed her and run away without saying a word, and hadn't even asked her a question the whole way. Even though he hid it well, she still saw the unbearable urge in his eyes.
He must have just seen something, but he's pretending he knows nothing.
"South..."
Mu Chenshuang called out, but she didn't know what to say to him. She paused for a moment, and Shen Nanzhi turned his head to look at her.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Chenshuang looked up at him, her eyes bright and clear, like stars, trying her best to hide some emotion. Finally, she spoke, asking in a calm tone, "Aren't you going to ask me what I was doing there all by myself just now?"
Shen Nanzhi just stared at her, the light in his eyes gradually dimming.
The sounds that were clearly lively and festive were now completely silent to the two of them.
After a brief silence.
Shen Nanzhi looked down at her, his eyes filled with deep affection and a touch of bitterness.
"I have no right to ask who you are with, Shuang'er, but I just hope you can give me another chance to pursue you."
His words left Mu Chenshuang unsure how to respond.
She didn't want to hurt him, but some things he would find out someday anyway.
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes and looked away, turning her head to gaze into the distance. She sighed and said, "How many love stories in this world are truly fulfilling?"
Shen Nanzhi stared at her intently, unable to fathom why she had suddenly said those words.
She continued, "There are too many things we can't control, too many things we can't resist. People who truly love each other can grow old together. Love is such a fleeting and ephemeral thing."
Shen Nanzhi followed her gaze into the distance. "Life is inherently short and full of regrets, but we shouldn't give up just because of regrets and its brevity. Instead, we should seize the opportunities we want to pursue."
As he spoke, his gaze fell on the top of Mu Chenshuang's head, his dark and deep eyes looking at her, "Shuang'er, you were never so sentimental before. In this year in the Eastern Palace, Shuang'er, you have really changed a lot."
How could he know that it wasn't that she had changed, but that the Mu Chenshuang he had always longed for had already passed away?
"People always need to go through experiences to grow, and their original intentions will change."
