"I'm aware of why you like her. Indeed, I'm not as gentle as she is, but I can change for you. I haven't done as much for you as she has, but if you need it, I can give up my life for you. My father may not be a banker, but he is part of a major northern conglomerate. I'm not poor; I have wealth beyond measure. I may not be your grand avenue, but I'm willing to be your winding stream. I may not be your forest, but I'm willing to be one of the trees within it. I may not be your sunshine, but I'm willing to be a cluster of stars that emits a faint glow. As long as you accept me and are willing to be with me, I can do anything!" Rong Yuqiao almost exhausted all her strength to shout these words.
Shangguan Shaoyi looked at him and realized that she didn't understand his emotions at all. The brilliant sunlight fell on him but couldn't melt his coldness. Shangguan Shaoyi never expected that Yuqiao was so deeply infatuated with him; he had always seen her as a younger sister, protecting and caring for her because he wanted a cute and playful sister like her, and it was never about romantic feelings in Yuqiao's eyes.
"Yuqiao..." He slowly spoke, his voice icy. He couldn't comfort her gently; his tenderness had long been given to that elegant figure. "I'm sorry, no matter what you do, I can't be with you."
Her world collapsed in an instant; the once colorful hues were painted into stark black and white. She had dreamed of many scenes: them together, laughing and playing, even imagining tying the knot. But imagination is not reality; lifting her head, the dazzling sunlight would ultimately dispel her infatuation. Her lips trembled slightly, fingers digging into her arms, leaving deep marks on her fair skin.
"Brother Lin... I just want to stay by your side; I'll do anything..."
"Yuqiao..." He reached out to pull her up from the cold ground, but his hand hovered in mid-air, his gaze heavy as he looked at her, his tone gentle yet calm. "My life has always been fragmented. When I was young, my father was harsh, my mother’s love was lacking, and then I faced the death of loved ones and the urgency of life; these things made me feel scattered. Her appearance seemed to bring an invisible force that pieced together the shattered fragments into something complete and striking. And you, you don't need to be my stream, tree, or star; one day you will become the only light in someone else's heart, and that person will be the one who walks through life with you."
She lowered her eyelids to hide the bitterness within; she also came from a prestigious family and had lived up to today like a star surrounded by moons. But why did she lower herself and speak sweetly to him while his heart remained as solid as rock without any sign of softening? Cheng Mo Su... She gritted her teeth in hatred; it was all because of this woman's presence that Brother Lin treated her this way—she truly despised it!
The spring breeze blew in through the window and brushed against her face. How she wished time could turn back to when it was just the two of them as children. Those past moments he probably no longer remembered were etched in her heart. Yet as time passed and space shifted, their past became dust-covered, rooted in the most inconspicuous corners and buried deep within his heart.
Cheng Mo Su! It's all Cheng Mo Su! She felt herself going mad; reason began to drift away as she could no longer hide it—her heart felt like it was being cut by knives. She raised her face stubbornly to look at him, tears streaming down like rain. "Brother Lin! I don't want anyone else; I only want you!" Without waiting for Shangguan Shaoyi to respond, her crimson lips pressed against his, delicate hands climbing around his waist.
Shangguan Shaoyi frowned slightly, cold light flashing in his eyes. Rong Yuqiao froze for a moment; she saw that there was not a hint of warmth in his gaze towards her. Panic set in as she quickly made a decision; with dark pupils fixed on him, she shed her clothes.
Her fragrant shoulders partially exposed, eyes shimmering.
He said nothing and made no move; those pitch-black Eyes simply stared at her quietly. She gritted her teeth and removed all her clothing, revealing her youthful beauty before him.
"Brother Lin..." Her face flushed deeply as she lay limply in his embrace, slowly licking up along his throat.
He remained unmoved, sitting in place, his pitch-black pupils showing no signs of confusion or infatuation. She felt an overwhelming sense of frustration and, with youthful determination, used all her charm to send a hint of fragrance toward his lips. Her pure, bright eyes narrowed slightly as she forced herself to exude a hint of allure.
She grasped his hand, her fingertips lightly brushing against the faint calluses on his skin, using his hand to tousle her own messy hair. The power of her delicate red lips pressing against his grew stronger.
Shangguan Shaoyi gazed at her, and that look filled her with intense fear; it was probing, profound, and carried an indescribable meaning. She felt as if she had collapsed entirely, stepping back a few paces with a bitter smile at the corners of her mouth. "Even if I go this far, you still won't want me, right?"
Shangguan Shaoyi said nothing. His hands touched her soft waist, pulling her away from him and casually draping a piece of clothing over her shoulders. He stood up, turning his back to her, his voice cold and cutting. "Yu Qiao, I just hope you understand that you shouldn't waste any more time on me. The two of us are impossible."
Such a simple statement condemned all her hopes from childhood to death.
He took a step forward to leave, and behind him came her torn voice. "Brother Lin! There will always be a way! We will find a way to be together!"
He remained silent as he exited and got into his military vehicle, heading straight for Shangguan Residence.
Upon entering the door, he didn't even have time to remove his military uniform before asking, "Where's Mo Su?"
"Mo Su is upstairs. Since she returned, she hasn't even come down for a meal. I just went up to check on her; she's still sitting there quietly. As soon as I closed her door, she started packing her things. It seems this time she's determined to leave," Shangguan Yiting replied.
Shangguan Shaoyi nodded without any expression, but his steps quickened slightly as he hurried up the stairs two at a time until he reached her room's door.
He knocked.
She casually brushed her messy hair aside and said, "Come in."
He pushed open the door, and she was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting him to return, standing frozen in place, unsure of what to do. He stepped over the luggage and approached her, his gaze fixed on her. "Why are you going back again?"
"Nothing," she turned her Eyes away, her voice calm. "I just feel homesick and want to go home. Besides..."
"Besides what?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Besides, you don't believe me at all. There's no point in me staying here." Her voice was very soft, barely audible.
He chuckled lightly and brushed her smooth hair. "How could I not believe you?"
She quietly stared at him, the corners of her Lips faintly downturned, with a hint of reproach in her eyes. "Do you think I broke Miss Rong's things?"
"Of course I don't think that." Shangguan Shaoyi sighed. "I know both you and Yu Qiao well enough; it was Yu Qiao who broke it herself. But there were so many people around at the time, and Yu Qiao cares a lot about her image. I couldn't expose her in public, so I had to let my sister take you back first." His Eyes were clear as he said, "Don't be mad at me, okay?"
She paused for a moment but still turned her Eyes away. "Shaoyi, you might not even realize it yourself, but you actually care about Miss Rong's feelings much more than mine." She looked up at him quietly, a gentle wave of emotion rippling through her voice. "I was upset too—being falsely accused by her and being neglected by you. Yet you only thought about taking care of her and didn't spare a thought for me. Doesn't that indicate something?"
"Mo Su. You know I believe in you." Shangguan Shaoyi looked at her firmly.
"I'm not like you; I don't understand human nature as well. I don't know if you truly believe me." She stopped looking at him and quietly organized the clothes in her hands. "I'll leave tomorrow; just have Brother Zuo Wei take me back. If you insist on coming along and dropping everything else, then do as you please."
