The smile on her face gradually froze, but she still wanted to remain calm and indifferent. She slowly put down the coffee in her hand and said, "Of course I remember."
"You were the one who posted that message on the forum, right?" Such an outstanding person would actually resort to some tricks or cleverness for the so-called love, always thinking that he could hide it from the world, but he didn't know that any bad thing would always leave clues.
Although she had no feelings for He Xinwan, she did not want the answer she wanted: "You deliberately created public opinion to make everyone mistakenly believe that I was pregnant with Zuo Yueyao's child and went to the hospital for an abortion. You exaggerated the matter and implicated Zuo Yueyao. You just wanted everyone, including me, to think that I was not worthy of Zuo Yueyao and that staying with him would only bring him trouble and negative influence. You hoped that Zuo Yueyao would be annoyed with me because of these things."
The revelation of the sealed matter over many years gradually turned her anger into relief. He Xinwan smiled reluctantly: "Su Xian, you are smarter than I thought." She was silent for a moment: "Yes, I did it."
Su Xian was not surprised by her confession. He had expected that a woman like He Xinwan would not be able to deny it even if she died because of her pride.
"I don't think I'm smart, but at least I'm not a fool." There was no need to bring up the old story. If the other party hadn't taken the initiative to meet, the matter might have been forgotten. "At that time, you probably didn't expect that someone like Yao Jing would take the initiative to take responsibility."
"Yes, I really didn't expect it." That was the only wrong thing she had done that year that she still felt ashamed of. She went to the hospital to visit a relative that day and discovered it by accident. Afterwards, she regretted it. She was worried that this incident would have a bad influence on Zuo Yueyao, and would damage his reputation in school and even the outside world, and perhaps people would laugh at his frivolity and irresponsibility.
But by the time she thought about these possible consequences, the news had already spread. She didn't dare face Zuo Yueyao those days, fearing that he would feel disgusted with her after discovering what she had done.
She wanted to stay by his side and watch him live his life with a halo every day. She couldn't imagine how desperate it would be to be hated by Zuo Yueyao.
"You came here today and told me all this. It sounds like nothing, but I'm not stupid enough to think that you really just came here to reminisce about the past." His clear and bright eyes shone with a clear light: "You just want to tell me that Zuo Yueyao gave up a lot of things to be with me, but I can't do anything for him, and I will only cause him trouble."
After understanding Su Xian's personality, I realized that she was a very strong-willed woman. I couldn't let her fight and kill openly. I could only destroy her will mentally and make her realize the gap and disparity between her and Zuo Yueyao. Maybe she would choose to give up.
He Xinwan thought this was a very good method, but it backfired.
She is really smart.
She had to change her perception of Su Xian.
"Why bother?" With a bit of sarcasm, "Liking someone is a very pure thing, but if this purity is deteriorated, it is an insult to both parties."
Hearing this, He Xinwan's face turned pale instantly, and she realized that it was not Su Xian who trampled on her dignity, but herself. Her actions forced herself into an unbearable situation.
Su Xian doesn't think that he is the Virgin Mary and he doesn't have to say that it doesn't matter about other people's criticisms and mistakes. But after experiencing countless baptisms in the world over the years, he gradually discovered that the word forgiveness is actually a kind of self-salvation.
"Senior Sister." He smiled calmly, "To like someone, you should do it with your heart, not with tricks. If Zuo Yueyao finds out that you have such a 'cute' side, I think no matter how touching your expression of love is, he probably won't accept it. You should know better than me that he won't tolerate any stain."
"Su Xian." Facing the person who was about to turn around and leave, He Xinwan hurriedly shouted: "You and Yue Yao."
He Xinwan would never have thought that the woman whom she had never taken seriously could answer her question so calmly.
"For me, he is the past and the good things, but he will not be the future."
The man who taught her how to hold a knife and fork when she ate steak for the first time, who took her to countless firsts, who taught her how to find fun in boring theoretical knowledge, who lied for the first time in his life because of her, she could no longer remember how much he had done for her, nor how much he had sacrificed for her without her knowing.
The only thing that was clear was that he was the beauty in her life that could never be replaced or forgotten.
The lights were just coming on, and the North City shrouded in darkness was still as bright as day. The gradually changing weather made the night a little cooler. The hospital was bustling with people day and night. Su Xian sat on a bench by the roadside, witnessing the various expressions of passers-by. Various scenes that had happened in her mind emerged, intricate and replayed like a movie, her past life.
Just like that, she kept sitting there, hoping and waiting, and had long forgotten the passage of time.
She was waiting for someone, the person who walked into Heyunling with light at the age of sixteen.
Time flies so fast, it feels like a lifetime ago.
Looking at his watch, the hour hand pointed to nine o'clock in the evening, but the person he was waiting for hadn't come out yet. Su Xian was getting tired of waiting.
Suddenly she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing out in the crowd. He was very suitable for wearing white and was untainted by vulgarity. He was the most brilliant firework in her heart.
"Zuo Yueyao."
Zuo Yueyao thought he had misheard, but the voice was too familiar. He stopped and looked for the source of the voice. He found the woman sitting on a bench, hugging her knees with one hand and waving at her with the other.
He walked forward with surprise and asked with his professional disease: "Are you feeling unwell?" Apart from this, he could not think of a better reason to explain why she appeared in the hospital at this time.
"Why did you get off work only now? My legs are numb. Are you busy today?"
She dropped her legs to the ground and actively sought his hand for support to prevent herself from falling. There was no trace of real anger in her complaining tone.
"Well, there was an operation in the afternoon which took quite a long time. After it was over, an impromptu meeting was held. They had originally planned to have a midnight snack, but I didn't go." Zuo Yueyao answered truthfully.
"why are you not going?"
"tired."
He shrugged helplessly, "Well, I wanted to treat you to dinner, but it turned into a midnight snack. Now it seems that this midnight snack can't be had."
"You came here just to treat me to a meal?"
"What else?" Su Xian chuckled: "I don't like to come to the hospital if there's nothing wrong."
"I suddenly feel that I'm not that tired anymore. Instead, I feel a little hungry. What should I do?" Under the moonlight, his gentleness makes people feel that the years are so peaceful.
Her ten pointed fingers were as white as jade and spread out in front of him. The scar on her palm was faintly visible. The smile on her mouth was like a crescent moon, warm and playful. "Give me the car keys. I'll be your driver today."
He took out the car keys and handed them to her. The day's hard work was gone. Zuo Yueyao was still a little bit unbelievable: "What big deal did you close today? You look so happy."
"No." She turned and walked away slowly, waiting for him to catch up. "I'm just in a good mood today. Since Doctor Zuo is so kind, I'll take you out for a good meal!"
Along the way, Zuo Yueyao told Su Xian some things about Ren Shang. He talked about how Ren Shang apologized to Lu Xiran after the thrilling battle that day, but was rejected by Lu Xiran. In the end, Lu Xiran directly blacklisted all his contact information. Ren Shang failed to apologize and could not see Lu Xiran, so he went to the bar to get drunk, and was dragged back to the hotel by one of his former beauties while he was drunk.
Things in this world might just happen by coincidence one day. It just so happened that Lu Xiran went to the hotel to pick someone up that day and happened to see a handsome man and a beautiful woman tangling in the hotel lobby. Ren Shang finally met Lu Xiran, but he saw him in such a "disgusting sight".
Lu Xiran thought that Ren Shang was a dog that could not change its eating shit, it was his habit, so from that moment on, the two words "Ren Shang" had completely become the product of moral corruption in Lu Xiran's heart, and the kind that could never turn over a new leaf.
Ren Shang wanted to explain to Lu Xiran that nothing happened that day and he was just drunk. But when Lu Xiran saw him, she acted as if she saw a ghost and ran away without even greeting him.
Ren Shang had no place to vent his anger, so he told Zuo Yueyao the whole story. As he spoke, he felt particularly aggrieved and was almost about to shed tears.
Seeing that Master Ren, who usually enjoys unlimited glory, has fallen to the point of bowing to love, Zuo Yueyao not only did not feel sympathy, but instead made a serious summary: As the saying goes, there must be a cause for every effect, and your retribution has finally come.
Ren Shang got angry on the spot and wanted to break off relations with Zuo Yueyao.
Zuo Yueyao only asked him one question: Are you sure you want to break up this friendship? Then you may never be able to make up for the sin you have committed in this lifetime.
Ren Shang was very tactful and acted coquettishly for help: Go find your wife and ask her to forgive me and plead for me. That girl listens to your wife the most.
Su Xian laughed. Want her to help? She wouldn't!
"You really don't intend to help?" Although it sounded like a tragic story, the two of them laughed happily. I don't know if Ren Shang would be able to bear it if he knew that they were gloating over other people's misfortune.
"No help." After parking the car, he looked around at the familiar buildings: "What Xi Ran wants is a down-to-earth relationship and marriage. He may not be suitable."
"Maybe he can change?" After all, he is my brother, and I can't just stand by and watch him die at the critical moment.
"If he can really change, it means he really loves Xi Ran, then I will definitely speak well of him." She just said it as a joke: "After all, not every woman can marry into a wealthy family. Who doesn't want to live a good life?"
"how about you?"
"Me?" She smiled: "Would you like to consider having a beautiful woman in a golden house, so that I can also have a taste of what it's like to live like a rich lady?"
"Oh?" He said in a joking tone, "I'll think about it."
"Zuo Yueyao."
"Um?"
"There is another saying, have you heard it before? Once you enter a rich family, it is like entering a deep sea. I am not blessed enough to be a young lady of a rich family."
"You fool me!"
