FEMATY (GXG) (GIRL GIRL) (FL)

42

Bai Jieliang was stunned. He couldn’t help the vigilance rising from the bottom of his heart. He protected Su Yanxi behind him more closely.

Even he didn’t know why, but when he first laid eyes on this girl, he actually did not have any vigilance as he gained a faint favorable impression of her. Fortunately, when that pair of malice filled eyes locked onto his pair of pitch-black eyes, that inexplicable favorable impression got suppressed.

“Big Brother Bai, I don’t know her. Let’s go.” Su Yanxi’s low and delicate voice was quietly heard from behind. It was faintly imploring, making one’s heart involuntarily soften.

Bai Jieliang opened his mouth, about to agree, but unexpectedly got interrupted by Mu Shengyan.

“Yanxi, do you truly wish not to see me?” She advanced by a step. Her tone, painstakingly made gentle, revealed her deeply suppressed sadness. It made the hearts of those who heard it unconsciously feel pain.

Su Yanxi’s right hand lightly pressed against her chest. Her eyes were slightly red yet cold as she said. “I do not know what you are talking about. Miss, I’m afraid that you recognized the wrong person.”

Mu Shengyan’s heart was painfully pulled.

“Yanxi……”

That was right. How could she think that Yanxi would forgive her? After she did such an unreasonable thing; she had even left to avoid the problem, not leaving behind a single word for her. So how could she hope that she would forgive her?

——But Yanxi, don’t think that I would let go of you, that’s impossible.

——I would rather lock you inside a room, with you resentfully glaring at me, than to see you in someone else’s embrace, sweetly smiling at him.

——That way, at the very least, I would still exist in your eyes.

“Let’s go, Big Brother Bai.”

Su Yanxi lowered her eyes. Her fair little hand tightly grasped Bai Jieliang’s sleeve. Then, they calmly brushed by Mu Shengyan’s stiff, unmoving body. 

When she was supported by Lu Yi down the boat, Su Yanxi coincidently turned her head back.

The small boat softly rocked on the lake, whose surface was being gently blown by the wind. Standing on the bow of another boat, the woman’s head was lowered; her expression unseen. Her body was stiff, not moving an inch. Set against the vast view, that lonely figure appeared especially bleak and desolate.

As if sensing something, Mu Shengyan suddenly lifted her head, precisely landing on her gaze. 

They were clearly separated by a huge distance, yet Su Yanxi seemed able to catch sight of the glimmer of hope that suddenly burned within her eyes,

“Xi’er?”

Her heart felt slightly bitter, yet Su Yanxi still heartlessly turned her head back around. Then, facing Bai Jieliang’s confused gaze on her, she tucked back her hair that was messed up by the wind and calmly revealed a small smile. “It’s nothing. Just now, I was just thinking of some things, nothing more.”

Mu Shengyan blankly stared at the carriage slowly moving away. Before, there was even some light within her eyes, but now they suddenly turned dim.

Her gaze was far and lonely. It was as if her whole heart had become empty, with dread wasting away there.

——The hopeful glimmer, dead.

——Turns out that the pain of this despair was far more painful than physical pain by ten million times.
