Yao Mingyue's words were just like An Nuannuan's, steady and serious, all she wanted now was an answer.
Xu Musen looked into her eyes, took a breath, and nodded.
Yes, if it weren't for that accident six years ago, if her personality hadn't beco so twisted, then they would surely have been the envy of everyone.
Childhood sweethearts, innocent love, harmonious families, sweet youth, and finally walking into the hall of marriage together...
They were the luckiest, yet also the most regrettable.
Xu Musen had regretted their careless marriage, but he never regretted liking her, never regretted liking the Sister Mingyue who always liked to follow him around.
"I just knew..."
Yao Mingyue smiled, yet the corners of her eyes were glistening with tears.
The nod from Xu Musen seed to relight the dim places in her eyes.
"You've finally been frank for once, which is really not easy..."
"I've always been frank."
Xu Musen reached out his other hand to wipe the tear from the corner of her eye.
Indeed, he still couldn't bear to see her cry.
"But now, I already have soone I care about, Nuannuan really likes , and I like her a lot too. She has also waited a long ti for ; I can't let her down."
"I know... Don't you want to know what I and Nuannuan talked about?"
Yao Mingyue looked at him, Xu Musen t her gaze for a mont, "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to."
"Actually, there's nothing bad to say. She disliked how I liked soone yet was half-hearted, so she taught how to pursue you properly."
Yao Mingyue spoke with a frank tone, without the slightest hint of sarcasm.
Xu Musen's expression was as incredulous as Yao Mingyue's before the al.
"See, I had the sa expression on my face at that ti, but don't worry, she's not trying to give you to , she just wants to help you get rid of a regret. She's very proud, and she really likes you; she's a good girl."
The difficulty for Yao Mingyue to speak of another girl liking Xu Musen could only be imagined.
Xu Musen was silent for a mont, then smiled complicatedly, "Yeah, she's very good, so good that whenever sothing happens, she's the first to put herself last."
It was like in her past life, she would rather silently care for him alone than disrupt Xu Musen's life by her presence.
"So, I've really learned a lot. I've always considered you mine, but never thought that to like soone, you actually have to think of yourself as part of them, to love him more than loving myself."
Yao Mingyue gently spoke, her words mingling with the evening breeze; cars whizzed by, lights dazzled. She turned her head to look at Xu Musen, but suddenly stood higher on the railing.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Musen was instantly anxious, tightly holding her hand, thinking she wasn't contemplating jumping into the river again, was she? But then again, behind them was an overpass, jumping from here not even a fairy could survive!
Yao Mingyue held onto the railing with one hand, her long hair flowing with the night breeze, her stunning face tear-streaked, heartbreakingly beautiful under the neon lights of the street.
Many people around also looked over.
And Yao Mingyue's voice was crisp and bright.
"Xu Musen, today I also want to tell you, I, Yao Mingyue, from today on, will no longer pursue you in my past role."
Xu Musen was slightly stunned, for Yao Mingyue reminded him of himself that day.
Now with tears still in her eyes, a true shine erged within them.
From now on, she would pursue him as herself, a girl nad Yao Mingyue, unrelated to childhood sweethearts, unrelated to past life spouses, unrelated to anything—just her, Yao Mingyue.
"Xu Musen, I will begin, to slowly like you..."
After Yao Mingyue finished speaking, she climbed down from the railing, her whole being as if intoxicated.
Xu Musen held her in his arms, silent.
"What are you doing! Young people like you, even if you have a dispute, don't be reckless!"
At that mont, the commotion attracted the attention of the patrol staff who quickly ca over.
"Sorry, we were just chatting, we're not recklessly thinking."
Xu Musen said.
The patrolling uncle sighed and spoke seriously, "Who chats on a bridge? You look like students, it's already late, hurry back ho, talk about any disagreents slowly... "
Escorted by the patrolling uncle, the two walked slowly down from the overpass, having arrived at the entrance of Huhai University.
Their hands were still clasped together.
Yao Mingyue turned her head to look at him, smiling foolishly, "That was quite thrilling just now."
"Silly."
Xu Musen tapped her lightly, "What you just said…"
"Anyway, I've said all I needed to, you can take your ti to digest it."
Yao Mingyue felt an unprecedented ease in her tone at this mont; she looked at Xu Musen, the love in her eyes not fading in the slightest.
"Xu Musen, do you know what accompanies a person for nearly half of their life?"
Xu Musen looked up at her.
"What?"
Yao Mingyue smiled with her eyes narrowed, not answering, but mysteriously pointed towards the sky, slowly letting go of the hand she held, "Alright, I'm safely back at school now, you should head back too, otherwise that one at your ho, she's not that easy to deal with either."
Having said this, she waved her hand and turned to leave.
Her steps were light, her long hair swaying in the spring breeze, as if it were a sprouting willow tree, so elegant.
Xu Musen watched her retreating figure, not knowing what she wanted to do, but he always felt like the Yao Mingyue of now seed to have a shadow of her past self.
That lively, cheerful, tsundere, and adorable Xiao Mingyue…
He looked up, the moon was very bright today, and so were the stars.
He watched her figure disappear, then turned and left.
Back ho, An Nuannuan opened the door, still wearing an apron.
"You, haven't finished washing the dishes?" Xu Musen said with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Mm-hmm, just the last one left, consider yourself lucky."
An Nuannuan nodded her head, but clearly, the house was clean, even the tea had already been prepared early.
Xu Musen felt a slight daze; these little love rivals, indeed the one who knows you best is always your adversary.
Xu Musen smiled and gently hugged her, "Yeah, I'm just too lucky."
To have t such a little angel.
"I'm still washing dishes."
"A kiss before you finish washing can't be too late..."
Xu Musen was tidying up things in the kitchen with An Nuannuan when he suddenly asked a question.
"Nuannuan, what do you think is up there that will occupy at least half of your life?"
Xu Musen pointed towards the sky outside the window.
An Nuannuan poked her head out to look and blinked, "Stars, right? And the moon, with the sun during the day, and the moon at night, isn't that a person's lifeti?"
Xu Musen also looked up at the sky.
The moon, today's moon was very bright.
A bright full moon...
Xu Musen murmured softly to himself, then suddenly smiled, turned his head to look at An Nuannuan.
"Then you, you're my little sun."
An Nuannuan's face overflowed with a soft happiness, but she pouted with a hmph.
"My mom said that if a boy complints a girl out of the blue, he's definitely done sothing wrong!"
Xu Musen was montarily stunned, then burst into laughter.
So adorable.
Yes, those who accompany one throughout life.
Besides the sun, there's also the moon.
Warm sun, bright moon.
Isn't that what makes a complete lifeti?
