Xu Musen gently wiped away the shimring gloss at the corner of her eyes.
From this mont on, there was no longer a distinction between them.
The sa regret that had spanned two lifetis was now sealed with a period that would be rembered for a lifeti.
The lights were dim, the bed curtains swayed gently, the moonlight was bright and clear, as if carrying a touch of the sun's warmth.
Spring had arrived.
Such tranquility, it was a day when all things revived, indeed, a mont for tenderness, as the breeze outside the window stirred the slender willow branches.
Swaying and shaking, the willow branches had begun to sprout new buds, waving back and forth, so beautiful.
Downstairs.
In the bright moonlight, a shadow was stretched long.
Yao Mingyue held her cellphone, looking up at that floor, only to see the faint light behind the curtains.
She didn't know how long she had been standing there.
Her phone was echoing with so recordings...
It was the content of Xu Musen and An Nuannuan's conversation in the living room.
Judging by the direction of the sounds, it should be coming from the automatic vacuum cleaner that Yao Mingyue had gifted for the living room.
Of course, it had been slightly modified by Yao Mingyue.
The robot couldn't enter the bedroom, but Yao Mingyue could already tell from the sounds in the living room what they were going to do tonight.
Yao Mingyue's lips were almost bitten through, in fact, just now she really wanted to rush up and kick the door open.
But she also knew that now they were rightfully boyfriend and girlfriend; even if she stopped them today, could she really keep lingering here all the ti?
Perhaps, she would only make them feel annoyed.
Yao Mingyue clenched her phone, a few tears erging from the corners of her eyes. She didn't even know what to hate at this mont, or whom to bla...
An Nuannuan?
No, even without her, Xu Musen would probably find a girl who could fill his void, right?
After all, they definitely wouldn't be as wilful, as capricious, as greedy, as obstinate, or as scheming as herself...
Yao Mingyue's vision gradually blurred, and she thought of An Nuannuan—weren't many of her qualities just like what she used to be like when she was young?
It was just that she had lost those advantages of herself, and also lost the person she loved.
All of this felt like her just desserts.
Yao Mingyue knew, especially after she recalled certain things, that she owed him a lot.
She also knew that she would pay a heavy price for it.
But... she had tried so hard to change, why... why was it still like this...
Yao Mingyue slowly squatted down, leaning on the street lamp, embracing her own legs in the silent night, her long hair hanging down, the tips of her nose glistening with tears.
Just desserts, huh...
In her heart, Yao Mingyue still couldn't restrain her desire to rush forward, but when she lifted her head, her vision blurred and she saw once again that scene from the past.
"If there is a next life, I swear I'll never rely on your charity again..."
Xu Musen collapsed in her arms, his body covered in blood, slowly losing warmth.
At the hospital, his blood type was very rare, the blood bank in critical condition, and acquiring blood was simply too late.
Yao Mingyue was also injured, but after drawing her blood once, the doctors were concerned for her health and unwilling to continue; ignoring the risks, she blundered her way through, drawing blood three more tis...
The final result, Yao Mingyue's mory abruptly stopped.
But she rembered the scene of An Nuannuan rushing into the hospital.
Yao Mingyue was a person with extre control issues; she had always felt that as long as she could keep Xu Musen by her side, even if it ant death... it would be worth it.
But after truly dying once, hearing those helpless and weary words from Xu Musen, Yao Mingyue felt she might really have been wrong.
She had always stubbornly believed that since Xu Musen liked her, and she could solve all his problems, their being together was surely what both expected, right?
But all of this was just what she assud, she always treated Xu Musen according to her own demands.
Forgetting that he, too, was a person with his thoughts, his own desires...
In the end, Yao Mingyue seed to have possessed him for a lifeti, but in listening to Xu Musen's final words, she felt as if she had never really had him, not even for a single day.
No bla on him, it was Yao Mingyue herself who failed to cherish properly.
Indeed, she got her just desserts.
Is this also, compensation for An Nuannuan...
Yao Mingyue lifted her head, tears streaming, following the light, she looked at the dim glow behind the curtains.
She almost crushed her teeth, but in the end, she lifted her head, her eyes misty with tears, the light making her feel a bit dizzy.
She still wouldn't give up, but she didn't want to owe anyone anything; this ti... the things you did in the last life are now written off.
From now on, I, Yao Mingyue, won't owe you anything.
"Miss, are you... okay?"
At this mont, the night patrol security guard ca over, seeing a girl squatting under a street lamp crying; with her disheveled appearance, she really did resemble Sadako sowhat.
Yao Mingyue raised her head to look at him, wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye; in front of others, she always appeared strong and aloof.
"It's fine."
"You...have you been crying? If you're feeling down, do you need help from the community property managent?"
The security guard was astonished by Yao Mingyue's beauty and found himself speaking awkwardly.
"I'm not feeling down."
Yao Mingyue composed herself and picked up her phone, only to hear the sweet nothings Xu Musen and An Nuannuan were cooing to each other in the living room coming from it.
"Crack!"
The phone was destroyed again!
Huh? Why say 'again'?
"Beautiful lady, you..."
The security guard was almost scared silly; how could this beauty just smash such an expensive smartphone like that?
Yao Mingyue, however, felt no pity for the smashed phone; destroying it actually made her feel a lot better.
She looked at the stunned security guard, then her gaze shifted to the floors behind her.
"I want to ask you sothing," Yao Mingyue said in a calm voice.
"You...yes, what is it?" The security guard regained his composure.
"Is there an empty apartnt for rent on this floor in this building?"
"Well, there seems to be one. The property managent has all the rental information; you can go check it out."
"I see."
Yao Mingyue took a deep breath, stood up, and looked up at the faint light once more.
Clenching her teeth... Gou Dong, how co you seem more annoying than ever.
Gou Dong!!
She turned to leave.
"Hey, beautiful, your stuff."
The security guard picked up the shattered phone from the ground and handed it to her.
Yao Mingyue glanced at it, took it with a "Thank you,"
and disappeared into the night.
The security guard stood there dumbfounded, imagining countless scenarios as he watched Yao Mingyue's retreating figure.
But ultimately, he shook his head, realizing that a little security guard like him couldn't understand the world of the rich.
After Yao Mingyue left.
From the balcony of a neighboring building, Bai Xin watched her leave and couldn't help but sigh.
She called Liu Rushuang.
"Your precious daughter has gone back, but she seed to have been crying."
Bai Xin knew Xu Musen had guests over today, and when they left, the little girl wasn't there.
Young people living together... what happened could be guessed without thinking too hard.
Especially after Liu Rushuang called saying Yao Mingyue suddenly left the house; Liu Rushuang then guessed where her precious daughter would return.
"You guessed right," Bai Xin exclaid.
"A mother knows her daughter best," Liu Rushuang said with a chuckle.
"Still laughing? Your daughter seed to have been crying and didn't go upstairs, she was so angry she smashed her phone."
Just monts before, Bai Xin had seen Yao Mingyue squatting under a streetlight, silently sobbing, and she almost couldn't resist feeling sorry for her and comforting her.
"Crying it out is good, crying proves she has really been thinking things through. Mingyue, that girl, needed a good cry," Liu Rushuang stated, always unruffled.
Bai Xin fell silent, then finally said, "So what are you planning to do? On Xu Musen's side, it might already be too late..."
"It's okay, overcooked rice can still be boiled into congee, at least it won't starve a person," Liu Rushuang replied.
Bai Xin couldn't help feeling there was sothing... not quite right about the whole thing.
"And if in the end, you don't even get to have the congee..."
Bai Xin began, then stopped.
"Hehe, young people, you know? With Ming Yue being so beautiful and outstanding, it's not like she has to marry anyone in particular," Liu Rushuang laughed heartily.
"By the way, Xiao Bai, didn't you study so law courses before?"
Bai Xin blinked, "Yes, I did; what about it?"
Liu Rushuang smiled faintly, "I'm just asking for a friend: if a guy was drugged... he got himself drunk, had an accident with a girl, and even got her pregnant, could he be held responsible?"
Bai Xin:...
What's the number for 110 again?
