I Loved Her Like a Dog, She Treated Me as a Stand-in
墨書 Inktalez
I deeply love her, obeying her every word and never leaving her side.
Yet she is always distant with me.
Because she has her own white moonlight.
When I grew tired of being the backup and found my own white moonlight,
She asked me to love her once more.
1.
When I married Huai Jing, I only invited a dozen close friends and family.
Tao Yue took a sip of his drink and sighed, "I thought you would wait for her forever."
I smiled faintly.
"She knows, right?"
"I haven't told her."
"But she booked a flight back last night."
I was taken aback and instinctively asked, "Why?"
"You tell me why."
I fell silent for a moment and took a sip of my drink.
Ten years ago, I was hospitalized due to an appendicitis attack.
In the middle of the night, my fever reached 39 degrees Celsius.
Half awake and half asleep, I heard Wen Renlan on the phone in the hallway: "Lan Luo is sick; I'm not going."
I couldn't hear what was said on the other end, but her tone suddenly turned cold: "Is Lan Luo important or are you important? You got lost on your own; come back by yourself."
Struggling to sit up in bed, I used all my strength to shout, " Wen Renlan..."
She turned around abruptly, and upon seeing that I was awake, her face lit up with joy: "You're awake?"
My throat was dry, and my voice was hoarse: "Who did you just say got lost?"
Wen Renlan's expression froze as she reached out to support me. "It's nothing, you heard wrong..."
I dodged her hand and looked directly into her eyes. "It's Zuo Qiucong, isn't it?"
Wen Renlan stood frozen in place.
Zuo Qiucong was her white moonlight, the reason she had never accepted me.
We were at a standstill when she suddenly stood up, grabbing her coat as she said, "What if something happens to him out there? I have to go find him."
I forced myself to get off the bed and tightly hugged her waist. "Don't go."
She struggled for a moment but couldn't break free, so she started prying my hands away. "Lan Luo, don't do this."
I held onto her hand tightly, my voice trembling from illness. "I'm in the hospital; don't leave."
Her attempt to pry my hand away suddenly stopped, and her tone became stiff. "Lan Luo, you know that if I want to go, you can't stop me."
"I'll come see you once you're better."
I slowly released her.
Wen Renlan sighed in relief and continued toward the door.
I suddenly spoke up. "Wen Renlan."
She paused and turned to look at me.
I stared at her and said word by word, "Help me find someone named Huai Jing."
She was taken aback. "Who?"
"A girl; she's like my sister."
Wen Renlan's expression darkened. "Sister?"
"From my aunt's side." I lowered my gaze. "Can you help me find out? I heard she's abroad."
Wen Renlan replied with a disinterested "Oh," and said, "Alright, got it."
With that, she left without looking back.
I watched her back, slightly lost in thought.
I took out two photos from my wallet, one of Wen Renlan and the other of another girl.
They looked very similar, but their expressions were completely different.
Everyone said that person was Wen Renlan.
But I knew very well it wasn't.
2
Everyone said that Wen Renlan was deeply in love with Zuo Qiucong.
But that wasn't entirely true.
Zuo Qiucong was always distant with her, sometimes warm and sometimes cold.
Even so, Wen Renlan still willingly loved him.
My feelings for Wen Renlan were more like those I had for the face of Huai Jing.
When she appeared, I had just lost contact with Huai Jing; it had been three years without any news of her.
During that time, I lived in a daze.
Until I met Wen Renlan.
