There was an indescribable look in his eyes; he really did want to stay.

But at the same time, he didn’t want to make Hua Xiaomo too embarrassed, because he knew that between him and her there were still some things that couldn’t be put into words, and those problems, if you said they were serious, they were serious, if you said they weren’t, they weren’t. To put it bluntly, deep down in Hua Xiaomo’s heart there might still be the shadow of Qi Longbing.

He also hoped he could replace Qi Longbing in Hua Xiaomo’s heart as soon as possible. If that happened, he believed Hua Xiaomo would definitely be with him, and definitely wouldn’t bother with that man anymore. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Only then would they be truly happy; only that kind of happiness was something worth pursuing for both of them. He also hoped Hua Xiaomo could see this clearly.

He wanted Hua Xiaomo to genuinely like him too, to love him.

He also hoped they could really become a family. That kind of happiness was what felt the most precious; he really did wish Hua Xiaomo could fall in love with him.

All right, no matter what the situation was, he would work hard for this goal and do what needed to be done.

He also hoped that a lot of the time things could be just like what he imagined deep in his heart: happiness comes from caring about the other person, from genuinely thinking about everything for the other person. Only that kind of feeling truly made them feel very happy and joyful.

After Zi Yunsui thought of all this, a smile quickly appeared on his face. Hands on the steering wheel, foot on the gas, he quickly left that place behind.

When he reached the apartment where he lived, he soon saw, standing at the door, that girl—and that girl was none other than Ye Xiangxue.

Zi Yunsui narrowed his eyes. He hadn’t expected Ye Xiangxue to actually come to his door. He didn’t know what she had come to see him for, but he felt that no matter what the situation was, he ought to explain things clearly to her. If she still didn’t understand, he would patiently explain again.

"Ye Xiangxue, what are you doing here? By the way, it’s already really late. What are you doing here? If you need to go home, I can drive you back right now. Besides, I think a lot of things are already over, aren’t they?"

"I also hope we can all be a bit more rational, okay? After all, none of us are kids anymore. Most of the time we should be able to see things clearly, right?" Zi Yunsui looked at Ye Xiangxue as he spoke. A faint light flickered in his eyes, and a gorgeous, oblique shadow traced the corner of his eye.

But his tone itself wasn’t particularly cold. After all, during that whole period he was in the hospital, it was she who stayed by his side, and it was she who woke him from that paralyzed, vegetative state.

No matter what, that kind of feeling— even if it wasn’t love, it was still grace and kindness. There was no way he could be extremely cold to this woman.

Ye Xiangxue looked at Zi Yunsui, an indescribable look in her eyes. She really wanted him to know what she felt deep down inside, but the feeling the man in front of her gave her was just so indifferent.

She really loved him, because every time recently when she saw him with Hua Xiaomo, she felt miserable. Whether it was in the company or after work, she always felt that way. But how was she supposed to stop these thoughts?

She didn’t know if the only way to stop thinking about Zi Yunsui for real was to leave Purple Demon Immortal Inquiry Company.

But was that really possible? She found it really hard, because she truly liked Zi Yunsui. Back then she had poured so much time and energy into taking care of him. She thought that kind of care would be rewarded, thought he would fall in love with her, that he would like her the way she liked him.

But when he got better, when he woke up, she found that when she was with him, he didn’t love her that much at all. The way he felt about her was extremely indifferent. In the end, if it’s only one person’s feelings, that really can’t be called love.

Love means two people’s hearts resonate with each other; that’s what love is. But no matter what, she still loved him like that. She didn’t want to let him go, because truly giving up on a relationship is unbearably painful.

She also knew that she hoped Zi Yunsui could give her that kind of love. No matter how long she had to wait, she could wait. But she really didn’t want him to cruelly forget her, to just throw her away. That feeling really was so painful!

Maybe earlier she could, right in front of Hua Xiaomo, casually say she didn’t care about Zi Yunsui and could treat the whole thing lightly. But in reality she couldn’t lie to herself at all, because she still loved him that much. She still hoped she could be with Zi Yunsui.

"Zi Yunsui, honestly, a lot of the time I feel like there isn’t ’no feeling at all’ between us, right? Actually, the reason I came to see you today is just that I want to make one last effort. I don’t know what’s in your heart, but I hope you won’t treat me so coldly, okay?"

"After all, back then I put in so much effort. I really did like you. I wanted to be with you. I don’t know what you think and how you see things, but for me, I really did give a lot!"

"Zi Yunsui, I hope you can think about how I feel, okay? I’m really miserable. I can’t even focus when I’m at work, and whenever I see you with Hua Xiaomo, I just feel so much pain. I don’t even know what to think anymore!"

"In short, I really miss you, I really love you. I hope you can still give me this chance, okay? Let me slowly get close to you, and let you slowly get to know me. I really, really miss you, Zi Yunsui."

"I also hope you can give me a bit more of a chance, all right? Whether or not we can really end up together in the future, at least I won’t regret it because I didn’t try hard enough to fight for it. Don’t you think so?"

"Zi Yunsui, I really, really like you. I’ve done a lot for you. Maybe you didn’t feel it at the time, because back then you were in such an unbearable state—you were paralyzed, and I was the only one by your side. I really gave so, so much for you." Ye Xiangxue spoke, her eyes turning red.

She looked at the man in front of her; she really wanted to tell him so many things.
