Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and looked at Si Mobai’s sculpted side profile through her blurry eyes. She blinked and tears fell. She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and pursed her lips. She said in a light tone, “Yeah, I can’t stand it either.”
She loved him and selfishly wanted to have him, but she couldn’t bear to see him in pain.
Separated was the best way.
However, back then, she was the one who wanted to leave. He chased after her, but she didn’t try to stop him when she realized. Moreover, when he said he wanted to go home with her, she didn’t have the courage to leave. However, after a few hours, he let her leave again.
Si Mobai looked at Feng Tianlan who was silently shedding tears. He felt as if someone was holding a blunt knife and cutting his heart. He wouldn’t die, but it was very painful. The pain would spread to his limbs and bones.
The two of them looked at each other speechlessly. It was as if the distance between them had been pulled apart. However, neither of them said anything. It was as if they were waiting for the other to leave. All they wanted was for the other party to stay, but no one could say anything.
“It’s getting late. I’ll be leaving first.” Feng Tianlan stood up and said as she watched the sun set. The sky gradually turned gray.
It was already early winter. The sky was gray, but it was only a quarter past midnight. It was time for dinner. It was neither too early nor too late.
Si Mobai stood up as well. He opened his mouth to ask her to stay, but he said, “Let me send you off.”
Feng Tianlan looked up at him and nodded with a smile. “Okay.”
In the past, she used to laugh at his thick skin for calling himself her husband before they got married. Now that he had changed the way he addressed her, she felt extremely uncomfortable. A dull pain was spreading. At first, she did not feel much pain, but it gradually became more and more painful. It was so painful that she could not breathe.
The two of them walked side by side. It was not like before. Whenever they walked side by side, he would definitely hold her hand because he was afraid that she would get lost. That was the most important thing to him. He had to take good care of her.
Now, it was because…
Shen Yuan looked at the two people with strange expressions, especially the two hands that were hanging on both sides. They were about to meet, but they quickly avoided each other. They were filled with curiosity and doubt. The two people who were so gentle and doting before… why did she suddenly feel a sense of distance at this moment?
“Lan’er.” Seeing that the courtyard was just outside, Si Mobai stopped in his footsteps and lowered his eyes to look straight at her. His peach blossom eyes were filled with an unconcealable affection.
Feng Tianlan had just raised her eyes when her body was pulled into his embrace. The tip of her nose was filled with his cool mint fragrance. It was very elegant and very awake. She could also hear his heartbeat. It was very rapid. She could also hear his breathing and she was panting heavily.
The embrace that she had felt for a long time made her feel an endless warmth and an indescribable sense of security.
At this moment, she had a thought. She wanted to give up everything. She wanted to ignore everything and just hug him like this until the end of time. She did not want to let go even if she had to die.
Just for this hug with him, she could give up anything. Anything!
However, this hug only lasted for an instant. She was suddenly pushed away, and the cold wind blew, causing her heart to turn cold. The thought that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished by the sweat on his forehead when he lifted his head to look at his pale face.
“If…” Si Mobai looked at the heartache in her phoenix eyes and smiled, “If one day, I turn a blind eye to you, then it would mean that I had definitely become Wu Ya, Si Mobai…”
He wanted her to forget, but he didn’t want her to forget. This was his selfishness..
