At this moment, Tang Yin realized that the silence in the dormitory was not true silence.
In the mountains after dark, even though there was heavy rain hitting the ground and even the sound of water, it made her feel terrifyingly quiet. There was no one here, and she could not contact the outside world.
Tang Yin wanted to switch on the light on her phone to light it up, but she was stopped by Fu Li. “There are many insects and birds that seek light in the mountains. Don’t attract them. If you’re afraid, grab my arm.”
Fu Li knew that Tang Yin was resisting the intimacy with other people’s bodies now. When he tried to hand her his arm, Tang Yin indeed rejected him. “It’s nothing. Just chat with me.”
“Okay.”
In the night without even moonlight, it was really so dark that one could not see their fingers. Tang Yin could only rely on his voice to find Fu Li’s position.
“Actually, you shouldn’t have followed me to Yunnan.” Perhaps because the completely quiet environment and the dark surroundings had let Tang Yin put down her guard, she finally spoke to Fu Li about these things.
“Then what do you think I should do?” Fu Li’s expression could not be seen in the darkness. One could only hear his magnetic voice and the sound of rain dripping on the ground, making one unconsciously feel relieved.
“You’re not young anymore. With such good conditions, you should find a well-educated and pure woman to marry and have a child that belongs to you.” In the past, Tang Yin did not realize Fu Li’s intentions for her. Now that she realized it, she could not accept his feelings.
“Sigh.” In the darkness, Fu Li sighed. “Ah Yin, I’ve been persistent for more than ten years. Do you think that my obsession for more than ten years doesn’t deserve you to turn back at all?”
Tang Yin’s heart trembled from Fu Li’s words “Ah Yin”, and the obsession that Fu Li had said for more than ten years made her heart move.
In these few days, Tang Yin kept thinking of the past. Then, she realized that Fu Li had never been absent at every important moment of her life.
However, all her attention had been on Liu Xingchuan all those years and she had never given anyone else her attention.
Now that she looked back, there was actually someone who was looking at her with his entire youth.
“We’re not suitable.” Tang Yin was silent for a long time before finally saying something.
“What’s not suitable?” It was not easy for Tang Yin to take the initiative to mention this topic. Fu Li definitely wanted a definite answer.
“We’re not suitable at all.” Fu Li’s family was well-off. He had been a privileged person since he was young. After entering the entertainment industry, he had good acting skills and character. He had even obtained the Best Actor at the age of thirty. Such a person should marry the most beautiful woman, not someone like me.
“Tell me, what’s not suitable? I’ll change, okay?” Fu Li’s voice was hoarse, as if he was extremely suppressed. “Ah Yin, can’t you give me a chance? From the first time I saw you, I’ve loved you. Until now, it has only increased day by day. How can I not be compared to Liu Xingchuan?”
“You can’t compare to him. Actually, you’re better than him in everything. You have a good family background, a good character, and a good personality.” When Tang Yin said this, she suddenly fell silent for a while, as if she had used a lot of strength to say, “But I still like him. I’m sorry.”
Darkness enveloped the world. Even though they were close, Fu Li could not see the expression on Tang Yin’s face.
If he touched her with his hand, he would realize that Tang Yin’s face was already filled with tears.
Tang Yin bit her lower lip hard to prevent herself from crying.
How could I still like Liu Xingchuan? That man had long existed in the past, but I could not give Fu Li hope.
Fu Li had endless light, but what am I? I am nothing. Why should I pollute Fu Li with my broken life?
“I understand,” Fu Li finally said hoarsely after a while.
No matter what had happened to Tang Yin, he could not be calculative and was willing to accept it. However, Liu Xingchuan was the only lethal point.
If Tang Yin still liked Liu Xingchuan, then everything he insisted on was meaningless.
“You should find a good lady.” Tang Yin pinched her palm hard.
“Okay, I’ll leave Yunnan tomorrow.” Fu Li smiled self-deprecatingly. “Coincidentally, my mother has arranged a bunch of blind dates for me. I’ll go back and go for blind dates. Are you satisfied?”
“You have to find a suitable person for a blind date too. Someone you like.” For some reason, Tang Yin felt as gloomy as a mountain in her heart. Hearing that Fu Li was going for a blind date, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
“Got it.” Fu Li’s voice was low and he still did not give up. “Liu Xingchuan is already married. Are you still going to be stubborn?”
“I won’t look for him. I’ll guard my memory for the rest of my life.”
“Ha.” Fu Li was so angry that he laughed. “Can’t I even compare to a f*cking memory?!”
After speaking, Fu Li realized that his tone was too fierce. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. Here, take the clothes. Rest here and sleep for a while. I’ll guard by the side.”
With that, Fu Li threw the clothes into Tang Yin’s arms and sat a little further away from her. He sulked.
The heavy rain was still falling. Tang Yin originally thought that she could not sleep in such an environment. Who would have thought that with Fu Li’s clothes covering her, not long after, she fell into a deep sleep?
The moment the morning sun emerged from the peak of the mountain, Tang Yin woke up. The air after the rain was especially fresh. Tang Yin took a deep breath. The faint smell of smoke from Fu Li’s clothes entered her nose.
Tang Yin turned around. Fu Li had fallen asleep leaning on the pillar at some point in time. Although he was already over thirty years old, time had only left a stable sediment on Fu Li’s face. It did not affect his handsome face at all. Through the morning sun, Fu Li’s side profile appeared even more deep and handsome.
Tang Yin looked at Fu Li’s face. It was unknown what she was thinking. For a moment, she did not realize that he had already opened his eyes.
Fu Li seemed to have slept badly, and his eyes were still bloodshot. He stood up, looked at the morning sun, and narrowed his eyes slightly. Then, he walked to Tang Yin. “Are you asleep? Give me the clothes.”
“Okay, here.” Tang Yin sat up and handed the jacket to Fu Li. She leaned against the railing and slept, unable to turn over. Only when Tang Yin moved did she realize that half of her body had already gone numb. Her body fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Fu Li hurriedly stepped forward and picked Tang Yin up. He helped her sit at the side and massaged her legs. “Are you feeling better?”
“I’m much better. We can go.” Tang Yin moved around and felt that there was no problem.
“Mm.” Fu Li stood up and maintained a distance from Tang Yin. His expression was rather cold.
The sunlight shone on the entire mountain. Fu Li and Tang Yin slowly walked down the mountain. However, in this long journey, the two of them did not speak a word.
