But after he said those words,
Yao Mingyue bit her lip tightly, her emotions turning sour, sothing that not even an excess of alcohol could suppress.
"You've only known her for a few months... What about all the years of feelings between us?"
"Let's leave the past in the past, isn't it good the way things are now? There are so many people in the world, you don't have to fixate on ." Your next read awaits at mvl
Xu Musen took a sip of alcohol, the sting of the liquor seeming to neutralize the emotions welling up inside him.
"That would have worked if you had said it to a decade ago, but now, do you think it's still possible? Can I really forget about you?"
Ming Yue's voice finally fluctuated a bit, its sincere and slightly bitter tone making it difficult for Musen to say sothing harsh in return.
"We're just not suitable for each other, really."
"How can you know we're not suitable without trying? We've been together for nearly twenty years, twenty years! If we're not suitable, then what is?"
Ming Yue spoke defiantly, word by word, sentence by sentence.
"So things have nothing to do with ti; maybe we're better off just as we are, just right."
Right now is just right, not too much nor too little, still capable of forgetting...
"But I don't want just right, I want to be with you; I've wanted to be with you every day for these many years. I don't care about anyone else!"
Yao Mingyue reached out to grab onto Xu Musen's sleeve, afraid he would run away without a trace again.
"Xu Musen, dare you say you don't like ? Look at , I don't believe I'm not in your eyes!"
Ming Yue drew closer, her familiar face which he knew down to the bones, and her rosy lips tinted with the scent of alcohol.
A pair of phoenix eyes also brimd with a touch of moisture.
Musen t her gaze for a mont.
At the very least, in their previous life, the first two years of marriage were truly happy, but all the romance was torn to shreds by the life that followed.
He silently shifted his gaze away.
"Musen, you have in your heart. If you're angry about my past rejection of your confession, then I apologize to you, I can even confess to you in front of the whole school if it ans you'll treat well again, like you used to..."
Yao Mingyue clung to the hem of his clothes, the girl who had been proud for half her life now speaking sowhat humbly.
"It has nothing to do with those things. My past confessions were actually quite naive. At that ti, I didn't even understand what liking soone ant; it might have been mostly just a montary impulse."
Xu Musen shook his head and took another sip of alcohol.
Actually, when he confessed to Yao Mingyue in the past, he had indeed been spurred on by the occasional teasing of people around them.
And at that ti, he didn't understand what liking soone ant or whether it was just possessiveness at play.
They had been together since they were young, but Yao Mingyue had beco more and more outstanding, whether in her appearance, studies, personal abilities, or family background, gradually distancing herself from him, her childhood friend.
He was afraid that one day Yao Mingyue would leave him.
Deep down, Xu Musen had always been sensitive and insecure, frankly, he was not much better than Yao Mingyue before.
His confession was also mixed with ulterior motives.
"Liking soone's face is love, liking soone's personality is love, even liking soone's money can be considered love. Who is purer than whom? All I know is that I like you. Ever since we were kids, I've only wanted to be with you."
Yao Mingyue looked at him, her eyes slightly red from drinking.
Indeed, Ming Yue was right, liking soone always starts with a reason, and humans are visual creatures; ninety percent of people start by liking soone's face.
There's no such thing as absolute purity in love; it always starts with a point and grows to encompass more.
Musen fell silent for a mont. Talking about his past life, he surmised no one would believe him, but this was also a good opportunity for a thorough chat.
"Yao Mingyue, let's assu for a mont, if we were together, would you really be happy?"
Xu Musen suddenly changed his tone.
Ming Yue's eyes brightened, her flushed face revealing a trace of longing, "Of course..."
After all, being together with soone brings more security; no one else could take him away.
"You still don't understand. A title cannot bring any security. Real security cos from mutual trust in each other's hearts, from the fulfillnt within oneself."
Xu Musen shook his head, looking at Yao Mingyue: "Let's assu again, we've announced our relationship and I inevitably have to interact with other won for work, can you control yourself from making wild guesses?"
Yao Mingyue was stunned for a mont, her first thought being that she couldn't!
Because he would be her boyfriend, making him her possession, and she would need to pay even more attention.
But seeing Xu Musen's expression, she found herself at a loss for words.
"I, if we were together, you wouldn't need to work, I could support you!"
Ming Yue spoke very seriously.
But Xu Musen just showed a 'that figures' expression: "Yao Mingyue, I am a person, not a thoughtless piece of wood. I need my own work, my own career, and my own life.
If I am with you now, not only will you not have any sense of security, but it will also increase your unease.
What you need to learn is what it really ans to like soone. It's about giving more, being more accommodating and trusting, not being more willful and demanding."
