Qin Chen stood up, "You should go to Adi’s ward, I must head ho now."
"Will she see ?" Wen Zhiyuan asked, lacking confidence, as he looked up at Qin Chen.
"Every day, she thinks about you, although she’s never ntioned it in front of . You don’t know, she often paints alone, and the whole paper is filled with you." Qin Chen smiled, "I envy you quite a bit, but I don’t begrudge you, because I’ve been by her side for eight years too."
Qin Chen left, leaving Wen Zhiyuan alone at the teahouse table.
As Wen Zhiyuan left the teahouse, the night sky was already filled with stars.
One by one, the stars flickered brightly, lighting the way to the hospital.
In the past, he also liked accompanying Shen Di to stargaze at night. The most morable ti was when he took her to the wilderness to watch the teor shower.
It felt as if ti hadn’t gone far; circles were turned, and he had returned.
Standing outside the ward, he raised his hand to knock on the door.
The butler thought it was Qin Chen and opened the door, only to find it was Wen Zhiyuan.
The butler felt sowhat awkward, "Doctor Wen..."
Whether to let him in or not, it was a difficult decision.
Shen Di heard the noise and also turned her head. Upon seeing Wen Zhiyuan, the expression on her face froze, "Why are you here again?"
Wen Zhiyuan pushed open the door and walked straight towards Shen Di.
Shen Di was originally standing by the window. When he approached her, she took a step back.
For so reason, she saw a different kind of emotion in Wen Zhiyuan’s eyes.
Just as her hands grasped the curtain’s edge, Wen Zhiyuan strode forward, pressed down on her shoulders, and planted a kiss laden with deep longing on her lips.
This kiss contained lingering affection, reluctance, tenderness, and heartache.
The butler walked out of the ward, closing the door behind them, as if she understood sothing.
She had just called Qin Chen, who said he would co, but when the ti ca, Qin Chen didn’t show up.
Qin Chen was always punctual; he didn’t co, but Wen Zhiyuan did.
The butler guessed, did Qin Chen say sothing to Wen Zhiyuan?
Inside the room, Shen Di’s legs went weak, and she wrapped her arms around Wen Zhiyuan’s waist, instinctively trying to push him away.
But Wen Zhiyuan didn’t give her a chance to push away, and the kiss grew increasingly gentle.
It had been a long ti since she had felt this way, as if they had returned to the best period of their relationship. Back then, they often kissed like this.
During that ti, Shen Di was quite attached to him, often clinging to him...
The night outside served as a backdrop, and their silhouettes blended under that vast sky.
The kiss didn’t last long because Wen Zhiyuan had so much to say to her.
Shen Di’s expression was sowhat dazed; this was his second ti kissing her in eight years.
Unlike the last ti in the locker room, this kiss was clearly full of compassion and love.
She lowered her head, not daring to look at him, "Why haven’t you left yet."
"If I left, would you never tell the truth?" Wen Zhiyuan asked directly.
His gaze fell on her face. This ti, he didn’t miss any detail on her face, didn’t overlook even the slightest flicker in her eyes.
She lowered her head, and he cupped her face, forcing her to et his gaze, making it impossible for her to lie.
His piercing gaze fell on Shen Di’s face, and indeed, Shen Di’s heart panicked, feeling at a loss.
"Adi, how could you be so foolish; without you, what do I need a promising future for?" Wen Zhiyuan sighed deeply.
Her complexion was still that haggard, her lips as pale as paper.
Shen Di’s heart quivered, he knew everything...
It seed Qin Chen had told him everything, but how much had Qin Chen told?
"I don’t know what you’re talking about..." Shen Di still tried to evade, her eyes avoiding his.
Wen Zhiyuan wouldn’t let her hide, "Do you know? For the past eight years, I’ve thought of you constantly. I thought you were truly heartless, but it turns out, it was who was unfaithful."
Shen Di’s lips moved, but she couldn’t utter a single word.
He already knew it all, he knew everything.
Her heart was calr than she imagined. Although there was an unease akin to a child caught in a lie, there was more relief.
Shen Di lowered her eyes, silent.
"Adi, you really are foolish; you obviously know I love you." Wen Zhiyuan’s hand caressed her face, "See, we’ve lost eight years again..."
Shen Di shook her head, "I never thought I would struggle through another eight years..."
"As long as I’m with you, every second is precious."
Unexpectedly, Shen Di smiled, a knowing smile, "Doctor Wen, you’re in your thirties, isn’t it a bit sentintal to say such things?"
"Are you tired of hearing it?" Wen Zhiyuan asked, looking into her eyes.
They were so close, he could even see a tiny reflection of himself in her pupils.
She could also sll that unique scent belonging to him, unchanged all these years. As she encountered it again, her nose tingled.
Shen Di shook her head, she never grew tired of hearing it, she was willing to listen for as long as it took...
"Then that’s good; one willing to speak, the other willing to listen, isn’t it beautiful?" Wen Zhiyuan cupped her face, resting his forehead against hers.
Their breaths entwined and danced, a feeling long absent...
"Adi, let’s be together again..." Wen Zhiyuan finally spoke, uttering the words he had longed to say for so many years.
There was a flash of panic in Shen Di’s eyes, and she shook her head.
"Don’t be afraid. With by your side, there’s nothing to fear. I don’t need a glorious future, nor do I need soone I don’t love, I only need you, understand?"
Wen Zhiyuan’s voice was especially gentle, like a babbling brook, calming and pleasing to the ear.
Shen Di’s heart sank, she couldn’t resist Wen Zhiyuan’s tenderness, and all her defenses and lies crumbled in that instant.
Wen Zhiyuan gently kissed her lips, whispering softly in her ear, "Adi, promise , I don’t need you to sacrifice yourself for my sake. To , you’re the most important."
"I can’t walk this path with you." Shen Di bit her lip, her voice choked with emotion.
This was her greatest heartache...
Having soone she loved, who also loved her, yet she couldn’t walk with him...
"Being with you, one day is a lifeti, two days is two lifetis... See, isn’t forever wonderful?"
"You’re deceiving yourself." Shen Di said softly.
"Why don’t you understand? Without you, even the longest days are wasted, but with you, even the shortest is a lifeti. Promise , let’s start over. Don’t fear anything, I’m here with you."
Shen Di said nothing more; her heart was moved.
It was like new buds sprouting in spring soil, a heart renewed like a spring breeze, evoking mories of an earlier ti.
Her Wen Zhiyuan was still her Wen Zhiyuan.
Only now, the once youthful boy had matured into a steadfast man.
His shoulders were still broad and strong as ever. She rested on his shoulder, wrapped her arms around his waist, and silently closed her eyes.
