The night was deepening, and the streetlights had already turned on.
After Jun Qianqian rushed out of the hospital room, she didn't hurry to leave but walked slowly, waiting for Mo Ming to come after her. However, as she was about to exit the hospital, she still hadn't seen Mo Ming, which made her even angrier. The tears that had stopped were threatening to flow again.
Hearing no movement behind her, Jun Qianqian turned back to look, but there was no one there. Frustrated, she stomped her feet and said, "Damn it, Mo Ming, you really don't care about me. You know I'm upset and still won't come after me. Hmph, I hate you. I never want to see you again... Ouch."
Just as Jun Qianqian turned around, she seemed to bump into a wall—hard and unyielding. Her anger flared up even more, and she opened her mouth to yell, "You idiot, do you have no eyes? Wait, how is it you?"
The person was none other than Mo Ming, who had chased out from the hospital room. Thinking the elevator would be faster, he took the stairs down. However, after exiting the hospital and not seeing Jun Qianqian, he assumed she had already left and returned inside, only to find that Jun Qianqian was still behind him!
Mo Ming heard every word of Jun Qianqian's complaints clearly.
"What's wrong? It sounds like you don't want to see me anymore?" Mo Ming teased. "Alright then, I'll just go far away so that someone won't be unhappy." As he spoke, he really seemed ready to leave.
"Hey, where do you think you're going? Hurry up and come back!" Jun Qianqian tugged at Mo Ming's shirt and said, "So your conscience finally kicked in? You know to leave that wife of yours behind to find me?"
"Uh, not exactly," Mo Ming shrugged and said. "On the contrary, it was Lin Yuan'er who asked me to come after you. Of course, it was also my idea... Hold on," seeing the tears glistening in Jun Qianqian's eyes, he quickly added, "Qianqian, I think we should have a serious talk."
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?" Jun Qianqian wiped away her tears and nodded in agreement.
Mo Ming lit a cigarette and said as they walked, "I think we need to find a place to sit down and talk. Follow me."
"Mm."
Jun Qianqian responded with a sound of agreement and followed behind Mo Ming, step by step along his path. Clearly, this made her feel a bit better inside.
After walking for a while, Mo Ming found a long stone bench and sat down. He patted the spot next to him and smiled, "Don't just stand there like an idiot; hurry up and sit down. I can't eat you."
"Who's afraid you'll eat me? I actually wish you would!" Jun Qianqian immediately sat down.
Mo Ming shook his head with a wry smile. Having known Jun Qianqian for some time now, he realized that this woman with a pure appearance had the heart of a Delinquent Girl, much like Fu Qingyun. It must be said that Jun Qianqian's personality resembled Fu Qingyun's; she spoke her mind without holding back.
"Don't just sit there smiling silently; I'm giving you another chance this time. Between her and me, who will you choose?"
Taking a puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaling it, Mo Ming looked up at the starry sky and said, "Can I not choose? You know how it is with me; no matter how I choose, I will always end up letting down the one who matters most."
"Hmph, then why did you chase after me? If I leave, wouldn't that just fulfill your wishes?" Jun Qianqian once again heard the disappointing answer. The sadness and grievance in her heart intertwined, creating an incredibly complex emotion. Tears involuntarily fell from her eyes as she stood up, ready to escape.
Just as Jun Qianqian got up, a warm hand grasped her wrist. She turned in shock and found that the owner of the hand was Mo Ming, who was now gazing at her. A sense of indescribable joy filled her heart, thinking that Mo Ming had chosen her.
"Mo Ming..." As she spoke, Jun Qianqian wanted to kiss Mo Ming, but he raised his hand to stop her.
"Um, can we talk properly without getting emotional for a moment?"
"Okay, go ahead."
Jun Qianqian pouted and plopped back down onto the chair, fuming. In truth, she felt embarrassed about what had just happened; it was so humiliating to have misunderstood his intentions and even offered her lips, only to be rejected!
"Look at those countless stars in the sky; each one has its own light. Which one do you think the night would abandon?"
Jun Qianqian looked up at the sky and said, "That's the night’s choice; it has nothing to do with me."
"The night is like me, while you and Lin Yuan'er are like two stars in the night sky—some bright, some dim—each shining with your own light. You are like the brightest star that can seek out other galaxies, while Lin Yuan'er is the dimmest one; she has no choice but to remain in this night sky. I cannot let her down because she has illuminated my night sky with her entire life. Therefore, I can only choose her."
This metaphor was merely a spontaneous thought from Mo Ming, yet it perfectly expressed his feelings. Jun Qianqian, you can still find another good man, but if Lin Yuan'er were to divorce, it would be very difficult for her to find another good man.
Although their marriage was forced and nothing had happened between them, who would believe that someone would ignore beautiful flowers right in front of them?
The two fell silent for a long time. Jun Qianqian seemed to understand a bit more now. She withdrew her gaze and looked at Mo Ming, saying, "So what you mean is that regardless of whether you currently like Lin Yuan'er or not, you are trying to like her and not let her down?"
"Yes. My previous resistance towards her was simply because I didn't want to abandon her after starting something. But what she said that day made me realize how absurd my thoughts were. For one person’s sake, should I let her spend her life alone in silence waiting for me? Clearly, I cannot do that. As for you, my attitude remains unchanged; I will not abandon you."
"Have you ever thought that suppressing your feelings for me is actually another form of abandonment?" After a pause, Jun Qianqian continued, "You said my brightness could find another galaxy; you just haven't considered that it's only because I'm in your sky that I can shine so brightly. Without you, I will fade into darkness."
Without you, I will fade into darkness!
Mo Ming silently repeated this in his heart, feeling deeply moved. Just as he was lost in thought, Jun Qianqian continued, "I understand now; no matter what happens, you will not let Lin Yuan'er down. So can you promise me one request?"
"Sure, tell me anything; I will agree to it without hesitation," Mo Ming replied without any hesitation.
"I haven't even said what my request is, why are you agreeing so quickly? Aren't you afraid I might ask you to die right now?"
"No need to hesitate. I know you wouldn't make such a request. Alright, go ahead and say it. As long as it's something I can do, I won't oppose it," Mo Ming said with a smile.
Jun Qianqian finally had a hint of a smile on her lips. Gazing into Mo Ming's eyes, she said, "You can do this. I won't force you to do anything. I just need you not to resist your feelings. Just give me three years. If after three years you still don't have any feelings for me, I'll leave."
"Well... okay, I can agree to that. But I can't guarantee that I'll like you. Do you think it's worth it to invest your best three years like this?" Mo Ming said with a bitter smile. "What merit do I have that makes you like me so much?"
"Just promise me. As people often say online, my liking you has nothing to do with you," Jun Qianqian thought for a moment and smiled a bit foolishly, as if self-mocking but not quite. "Actually, I don't even understand when I started liking you. It seems no one really knows what love is."
Mo Ming was speechless, recalling his relationship with Qingmeng. Aside from the time they confirmed their relationship, he couldn't remember when or why he fell in love with her; he truly couldn't think of a single thought.
That's how love is; it's hard to know why you love someone.
You just love them, without any reason.
Mo Ming and Jun Qianqian talked a lot about their previous encounter at the airport and the events that followed. He didn't know how long they talked, but that night was very quiet. Aside from the two of them, only the countless stars and the bright moon remained.
After their conversation, Mo Ming safely escorted Jun Qianqian back home before returning to Wanfuh Hospital. Lin Yuan'er was still there, just fast asleep, while a beautiful nurse was taking care of Murong Lian.
This beautiful nurse was exceptional in both figure and face, no wonder Lin Yuan'er praised her. However, after what happened tonight, Mo Ming had no interest in teasing the beautiful nurse and let her go rest.
A night passed without conversation; Mo Ming took care of Murong Lian all night without feeling the slightest bit tired.
In the morning, when sunlight streamed into the ward, Lin Yuan'er woke up and noticed that Mo Ming seemed not to have slept all night and was still taking care of Murong Lian. She felt a pang in her heart—not jealousy but sympathy.
Mo Ming had his back turned when Lin Yuan'er quietly got out of bed, wanting to hug him from behind.
"Yuan'er, if you're awake then just wake up; why sneak around?"
Such subtle movements were noticed by Mo Ming. Could it be that he had eyes on his back? Lin Yuan'er looked surprised but still hugged Mo Ming tightly from behind, resting her cheek against his back and laughing, "Yes, I just wanted to sneakily hug you. Is that not allowed?"
"I really can't do anything about you; it's early in the morning already. Alright, don't you have work to do? Stop hugging and hurry up and wash up so you can get to work," Mo Ming said as he covered Lin Yuan'er's hands with his palms and smiled.
"Don't worry, there's nothing urgent at the company. It's fine to go later." Lin Yuan'er was reluctant to leave the warm and solid back of Mo Ming, wishing to stay like this forever, hoping time would just stop.
Mo Ming remained silent, allowing Lin Yuan'er to hold onto him.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan'er's phone rang. She felt a bit annoyed that it was ringing at such an inopportune moment and blamed the caller for ruining the lovely atmosphere. Irritated, she pulled away from Mo Ming's back and took out her phone. Upon checking, she realized it was a call from a company employee.
"Hello, Director Lin, there's a problem. A group of thugs has shown up at the studio, demanding protection money. If we don't pay, they won't let us shoot, and if we dare to shoot, they'll smash our equipment."
"No way! Can anyone really collect protection money at the studio? Alright, keep calm. I'll head over right now to handle it." Lin Yuan'er quickly hung up the phone, her expression anxious. She turned to Mo Ming and said, "Brother Mo, something's happened at the company. I need to take care of it."
"What happened?" Mo Ming frowned and asked, "What do you mean by protection money?"
"I don't know either. Apparently, a bunch of thugs has come to the studio demanding protection money. If we don't pay, they won't let us shoot. I need to go deal with this now." After saying that, Lin Yuan'er hurriedly freshened up in the bathroom before preparing to leave.
Worried that Lin Yuan'er wouldn't be able to handle it alone, Mo Ming said, "I'll go with you. Someone is definitely causing trouble; you can't deal with this by yourself."
"Yes, with Brother Mo going along, I feel much more at ease."
