"Actually, I don't believe in love at first sight at all. I never believe that someone can fall in love with another person at first sight and be so deeply in love that they can't extricate themselves."
At this moment, it was as if a peony had bloomed in her heart, bright red with intricately folded petals, her smile as beautiful as a flower, yet she still calmly expressed her feelings.
Then she continued.
"Moreover, the relationship may not last long after falling in love with the other person. Because most of the time, love at first sight is based on looks and figure, and the environment in which those looks and figure are combined to create attraction."
"Being moved is an emotion, not love. Humans instinctively pursue beauty and the pleasure that dopamine brings, but that is not love, nor is it something that can sustain two people together."
"Do you know how much effort my ex, Zhao Xunhuai, put into pursuing me? He would send me small gifts every day for a year and treat me exceptionally well, but then he cheated on me."
"He said he fell in love with me at first sight, and I was really heartbroken after we broke up. I felt like, why was he so sincere..."
Su Wanwan choked up and couldn't continue.
But she was afraid that Jiang Shengjun would misunderstand that she still had feelings for her ex, and that he would think she didn't care about him, so she took a deep breath and tried her best to control her tears.
After a moment, she calmly continued, "When I first saw him and Jiang Rou lying in the same bed, and Jiang Rou even acting coquettishly in front of him, I felt that human nature is so complicated. I think true feelings can change in an instant, and perhaps those vows of eternal love can only be fulfilled when there is love."
"But then I met you. My first impression of you was that you were very beautiful. Seeing you made me feel that the world was a wonderful place. You were also very gentle. You looked aloof, but you weren't aloof at all."
"But I have a very good relationship with Ouyang Maomao, and I quickly realized that she liked you. After getting to know her, she said that she loved you very much, had a crush on you for many years, and even said that she loved you so much that even if you didn't marry her, she would still treat you well."
"I felt really sad. Later, after you and I got together, I think I fell more and more in love with you, but my best friend... ah... it's so painful... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I..."
The more Su Wanwan talked, the more heartbroken she became.
If her heart was just like a peony in full bloom, then now that peony in Su Wanwan's heart is being pricked, one needle at a time, with a delicate needle.
As if that wasn't enough, someone took scissors and cut it.
Not satisfied with just cutting it, someone then roughly tore apart each of its brightly colored petals with their bare hands.
Jiang Shengjun held her tenderly without saying a word. Unlike Zhao Xunhuai, when Su Wanwan talked about these things, Jiang Shengjun did not scold her like Zhao Xunhuai did.
Jiang Shengyun is truly a very, very good person. She may never meet such a good person again in her life.
Su Wanwan wiped away her tears and continued, "Sometimes I think, maybe... I should be a little selfish, I..."
She felt that she was born a little awkward, and suddenly she couldn't say what was on her mind. She was afraid that Ouyang Maomao would be sad, and that Ouyang Maomao would dislike her as her best friend because of this.
Ouyang Maomao is also a very good person. She always helps her whenever she is in trouble, and she is very grateful to her best friend.
But if we're talking about love alone, she should have chosen someone she liked.
Seeing her crying so hard, Jiang Shengjun cupped her face, reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said gently, "Wanwan, don't be too sad. I will always be with you and will never leave you."
Seeing his sincerity, large tears welled up in Su Wanwan's eyes.
She didn't want it to be like this.
Overwhelmed with mixed feelings, she cried until she felt completely drained, and she was afraid that expressing negative energy in front of Jiang Shengjun would incur his dislike.
She kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, Jiang Shengyun, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, I...I'm sorry..."
Her face flushed slightly from crying, which reminded one of peach blossoms ravaged by a rainstorm, with tiny, crystal-clear raindrops clinging to their withered petals.
Jiang Shengyun felt extremely distressed, a sense of helplessness washing over him. He could only hug Su Wanwan and say, "Wanwan, Wanwan, you still have me. If you feel that being with me will make Ouyang Maomao sad..."
Have you considered how sad I'll be? Wanwan, I understand what you're thinking. Now, please listen to my thoughts, okay?
Su Wanwan pressed her ear against Jiang Shengjun's chest, and hearing his heartbeat eased her sorrow, gradually calming her down.
He said very seriously, "Wanwan, my first impression of you was that you were cute, wonderful, and irreplaceable. In my memory, you had round eyes when you were little..."
Her eyes were bright and watery, her face was chubby, she had slightly curly hair, and she wore a little dress that shimmered. Back then, I told my mom that when I grew up, I would definitely marry her.
Jiang Shengjun stirred up her memories.
When she was a child, the Jiang family was still not bankrupt. Her father held her mother's hand, and her mother held her hand as they strolled in the park.
She was dressed beautifully back then, with her hair tied in pigtails that looked like small lanterns threaded with silk threads, wearing pretty and delicate pink rabbit fur earrings on her head, and a cherry blossom pink jade rabbit glowing lantern dress.
Strolling along the cobblestone avenue in the city park can make you the center of attention, prompting everyone to take out their phones to take pictures.
"You know me from when I was little?" Su Wanwan asked in surprise.
Jiang Shengjun recalled the first time he saw her when he was a child, and felt an indescribable sense of happiness and peace.
"I know you. It seems like we met when we were very young. I think I still have a picture of you at home. When I saw you at the hotel that day, I felt like I recognized you. Seeing you made me inexplicably happy and I felt very comfortable."
Su Wanwan was somewhat shocked, feeling as if it were destiny. In the vast sea of people, more than twenty years later, they were able to meet again.
She asked incredulously, "Really?"
"Really, we've known each other since we were kids, and besides, you know how tough I am..."
When the topic turned to hunks, Jiang Shengyun paused with a touch of narcissism, smiled at Su Wanwan for a moment, his Adam's apple bobbing as he continued in his magnetic voice.
"A tough guy like me would never ride a Ferris wheel. That pink Ferris wheel in the Jiang family villa was built especially for you."
Because I remember you once told me when we were little that you wanted a pink Ferris wheel in our house, and that it had to be tall and dreamy.
Su Wanwan's mood instantly brightened, and she was about to say something when Jiang Shengjun interrupted her again.
"Let me finish speaking first. Then, the first thing I'll think of when I have money is building this Ferris wheel. When you marry into my family someday, I hope you can be happy because of this Ferris wheel."
The soft lighting inside the car concealed countless delicate details, and Jiang Shengjun saw the most subtlety in it. For a moment, the car seemed to be filled with rainbow colors, creating a romantic and warm atmosphere.
Jiang Shengjun hadn't finished speaking when he continued to speak.
