Chapter Six, If I Go First.

If one day I die first, I will wait for her at the edge of that world, while living there

The explanation is complete in just a few words; it is not about being a lover, but about being with a man. ... I can summarize it, but it still feels strange ... so I can only continue to express my melancholy: "When lovers and men are together, you indeed have your way.

My thoughts were pierced through by Wei Guangyin, who rarely appeared so relaxed, with his hands spread out, "So I am not him"

The early autumn night in Shanghai has already turned cool, and he is only wearing a white shirt, his slender shoulders seemingly bearing the light of the entire world, standing alone in my eyes. I grasped his front placket and said: "Wei Guangyin, do you know what my feelings for you have always been in my heart?"

Upon hearing this, even I was about to soften my heart towards this chief adversary, wanting to hear how Ye Shenxun would respond. However, the waiter hiding in our room suddenly received an inquiry from the manager through the intercom, "Where is XX? XX? Why hasn't the food been served to the guests in Box 3 yet?!"

The Chen Yaojin in her mouth seems to be me, but I do not admit it. I almost wanted to rush out at that moment and show her my heart, saying, "Look, it was you who wanted to part ways back then, provoking Young Master Ye to act recklessly. We are both suffering from the same affliction, so we can only huddle together for warmth."

The person standing half a meter away from me suddenly stopped, his refined brows slightly raised, and I immediately wished to dig three feet into the ground to bury myself. Although, how I wished he could respond with a simple, "Yes, it is me."

I hope you understand what you are doing

After listening, Wei Guangyin frowned and said with righteous indignation, "Then promise me, in the future, if we have a quarrel and you want to go eat crayfish, don't call me; just call Liu Wei instead."

I do not know whether to cry or to laugh

... ...

Running for half an hour is certainly better than waiting idly; perhaps it would be better than just half an hour. After some contemplation, I declined the driver's kind offer and set off at a brisk pace through the early autumn night in Shanghai

Ah?

Therefore, I hate you, resent you, and loathe you. However, only heaven knows how grateful I am to fate for allowing me to meet a boy ten years ago, a boy whom I can detest and resent yet cannot let go of. That boy is ...

Especially as someone like me, who is widely known to be directionally challenged

Is it now common to inform friends face-to-face before betraying them

Is it appropriate? Liu Dazhuang, a second-generation rich kid, wouldn't even bother to argue with me over a coat. You, a rich second-generation, are so stingy.

With our temples grayed, we naturally lack the energy for playful banter. Yet at that time, I would still go to great lengths to make him laugh. I want him, in his final moments, to leave the world with a smile, and then gently tell him, "I am not your princess, but I am willing to be your joy"

As I spoke, my eyelid inexplicably twitched, and I almost leaned forward to cover his mouth, playfully scolding him that such words should not be said casually, yet he had already anticipated my reaction and responded before I could.

For the first time, in the United States. I followed Ye Shenxun as an assistant, solely to catch a glimpse of the person from my past, yet I witnessed the scene of him sharing a smile with Sui Wan. In my memories, I had never seen that boy smile so unguardedly, and thus, I suddenly lost sight of my original purpose for coming, becoming lost in the indifferent concrete jungle.

Currently, both the Wei family and Shen Zhou are intent on competing for the environmental protection market, and a certain heiress with the surname He has become the key figure. As the gossip news breaks, the board of directors applies pressure, and Wei Guangyin takes responsibility. The Wei family, which has just managed to clear up its affairs, will once again fall into chaos, making it not difficult for Shen Zhou to take advantage of the situation.

I said: "Wei Guangyin, I hate you"

I did not expect my thoughts to be so clear; Sheng Shan had a moment of speechlessness, and after a while, he said: "My senior brother seems to be quite heartless..."

For some unknown reason, the person standing in the autumn breeze suddenly smiled faintly

I went out, but I didn't chase anyone. I just went to the restroom! ... Moreover, I never thought that we were old lovers ... . ... But if I say it out loud, I might get hit. How should I put it? He also inadvertently lost a kidney for me. Although, I have already returned it.

It is presumed that during the time when Jie Ran was crying as a child, Ye Shenxun once performed a magic trick for her. Annoyed by her cries, he casually picked up a fake flower and, using some mysterious technique, flicked it with his index finger, causing the budding red artificial flower to suddenly bloom.

Now, you understand why some readers send me blades

555, I am lost

At that time, I had not yet associated him with that Miss He, I only remembered that he was the son of a district chief in Wangcheng, had poor language scores since childhood, and had written an award-winning essay. Moreover, he was tragically in love with Sheng Shan but could not attain her.

The girl felt sweat in her palms, yet she followed gracefully. The boy walking ahead noticed this, and his lips unconsciously curled into a smile, colored by the vibrant neon lights. So much later, amidst the throngs of people, she could only remember this smile among the countless faces.

My hands trembled as I crumpled the newspaper, "Now the whole world knows who my clear breeze and bright moon is, and I am the one who pursued them relentlessly. Woe is me, my fans must think I have made a fool of myself." I received a noble and aloof glance, "Sorry, but your fans have yet to spread across the globe."

To me, Wei Guangyin is like that cloud. I am aware of the gaps yet do not let them slip through, so why should I foolishly attempt to escape

Returning to Bincheng, the intense atmosphere of gunpowder smoke comes rushing towards me

The restaurant is quite niche, with decor that is not particularly grand like a hotel; it is the very place where Zhou Ying once hosted a welcome dinner for Ye Shenxun and me. I have always remembered their light and refreshing dishes, so when Wei Guangyin asked for suggestions, this place was the first that came to mind. I completely forgot that Ye Shenxun is also a regular here

He stood upright, his expression nonchalant, "Last night, ah."

It is often said that the closest people to us can hurt us the most, as they are aware of our vulnerabilities

From the projection of the compartment, Ye Shenxun fell back, examining her wound, and Jie Ran, under the gaze of the crowd, took the opportunity to leap into that person's arms. This directly caused the attendant in our room to hesitate, afraid to lift the curtain and step outside, holding their breath and remaining here for quite a while

Travel

No, when I am drunk, he has to ask me questions

The first time was at the age of 18, at Yangbin City Television Station, proudly stating that my personality is better than others

The feeling of long-held secrets about to be unearthed is akin to buried treasures being excavated once more. I am filled with excitement, my voice trembling. "I am having dinner with his business partner, and I will take the opportunity to drink a bit more wine later..."

Yes, it stood in front of him. In a moment, three words sprang to my mind: never loved.

I was taken aback, "Forget it..."

He is not being coy, "So you really have no intention of compensating me for my coat?"

The general plot is that after getting drunk, he asked Wei Guangyin whether I would cheat after getting married. I replied, if the groom is you, then I won't. He continued to ask, what if the groom is not you? I said, then you would be my object of infidelity

If she smiles with a hint of ambiguity, "more than just good-looking? She is practically a soulful photographer, capturing all of your exhilarating psychological activities as if showered with grace and excitement."

She propped her chin up in boredom, her eyes suddenly brightening. Could it be that she was about to perform a scene of speed and passion with him on the streets of Shanghai? The version of Liu Dazhuang and Xiao He from years ago had made it impossible for her to watch the "Speed" movie with a straight face ever since. After today, would she once again be filled with anticipation?

I thought that leaving Bin City meant leaving behind a place of controversy, but I did not expect that the rumors would follow me like a mad dog on my heels. The more I try to hide, the more aggressive it becomes. I intended to vent about something when suddenly the screen of my phone lit up with Wei Guangyin's name

On the escalator in the shopping mall, there is a large mirror on the inside, extending to the top of the escalator. I followed behind Wei Guangyin, with only a step of stairs between us, just enough to secretly catch a glimpse of his handsome profile through the mirror. Perhaps my gaze was too intense, as he slightly turned his head to look at me. I quickly averted my eyes, pretending to play with my fingers. At that moment, it seemed as if I could hear a hint of laughter escaping from his throat.

Originally, she had comforted herself in countless sleepless nights. In one's lifetime, there are numerous regrets, and one more wouldn't make a difference. Now, she understands that it does make a difference.

I have never had a deep and everlasting love-hate relationship with you. In accordance with the principle of politeness, I still put on a pleasing face and called out, "Senior Brother, what a coincidence."

In an instant, his eyes seemed to want to avoid, and a moment later he pushed Jie Ran away from him. I immediately wanted to say, "What are you afraid of? He's pursuing you, not trying to kill you." But I couldn't just casually talk because Wei Guangyin was there. After thinking about it, I was actually somewhat relieved.

I dislike how you always pass by me with such calmness

Wei Guangyin was choked and coughed several times, yet he seemed unaware of this linguistic trap. He did not refute it, but only retorted, "What if I die first?"

Suddenly, I stumbled and almost fell. He took the opportunity to pull me closer, and the collar of his shirt became stained with the tears of my grievances

What happened to the promised deep affection?

Sheng Shan suppressed his smile, paused again, and scolded me, "Cheng Gai Gai, you have no shame"

I loathe that you have always stood in my memories, tempting me, making me pretend to be strong for the sake of our reunion

That was the easiest day for me when facing him

She interrupted me, "Engaging in promiscuity after drinking?"

During that period, Liu Dazhuang, this peculiar individual, also disappeared, leaving one to wonder what he was busy with

My companion and I were enjoying desserts at a large shopping mall near the CBD. I cleared my throat and pretended to be shy as I wanted to explain something to her. Unexpectedly, the spoon in her bowl suddenly clattered down, and she stared blankly towards the entrance of the mall, sighing, "So handsome."

Since I have decided to go to his side, seeing an old lover should be no different from seeing a stranger. What must the people inside think of someone who stubbornly chases after them like this

Because of a hint in her text message, I truly dare to be forceful. If she decides to give up completely and hints a bit more, what should I do if she wants me to take decisive action? Trust me, she is capable of doing it and knows better than anyone how to motivate and hypnotize me.

In keeping with the modesty expected of a young lady, I instinctively took a step back and pretended to argue: "When did that happen?"

OK, I have been abused, but starting today, you will also be abused

The waiter, with a grim expression, accepted the summons and reluctantly opened the door to our private room. Finally, I, sitting directly opposite the door, locked eyes with Ye Shenxun, who had a beauty in his embrace.

... ...

Having never loved, I am at ease.

There is not much difference between the city center of Shanghai and the waterfront city, with towering buildings and bustling traffic. However, many of the seemingly old alleys can evoke the passage of time, revealing a glimpse of the ashes left behind after the once-prosperous era.

How is it? Isn't this confession quite impressive

Helplessly, I had been on the phone for too long, while Wei Guangyin had already gone out to search, his tone rising and falling: "I hope you haven't gotten lost again..." In the end, I was just fooling around with Sheng Shan, truly sorry to my youthful breeze, so I decisively hung up the phone

I have decided to confess my feelings

However, it does evoke a certain sense of melancholy. Regarding Wei Guangyin's concerns, I have always been accustomed to discussing them with her. It is evident that with the current conflict between the two tigers, I must henceforth remain tight-lipped, leaving me without an outlet for my emotions

The pedestrians hurriedly walked with their heads down, rarely lifting their eyes to gaze at the dazzling pearl. The commotion this scene caused was also less than that of street racing, yet Cheng Gaigai suddenly felt like crying

Wei Guangyin knew about the comical love story between Ye Shenxun and me, but he never asked about how it started or ended. I had prepared a bunch of explanations, but he dissolved them all by serving me food. I thought everything was fine until I looked up and saw a mist in his eyes, covering the clarity that was once there.

I patted my heart and said, "It's fine, he just kissed me forcefully."

I thought Gu Yuanyuan was sighing about Wei Guangyin. Immediately, she stopped acting coquettish and stopped pretending. She wanted to assert her dominance. The young man standing behind him suddenly took a few steps forward and looked around the entire mall. Now I'm confused. That person turned out to be He Yuan.

I hate you, resent you, and dislike you

Given the road conditions, Wei Guangyin would not be able to drive here, unless he rode a motorcycle.

Time.

At this point, the almost blurted out secret was successfully swallowed back.

The sound becomes lower as it goes to the back, while Wei Guangyin's laughter is the opposite.

Your smile makes me unable to help but smile along, which is quite embarrassing

This one has no principles, it's simply heartless. I don't want to see this face that makes people love and hate it again, with its nostrils flared up like it's driving people away. Sheng Shan is very tactful, she pats her butt and gets up. Suddenly, I call her back and ask weakly, "Wait, based on your understanding of Master Ye, he really has no intention of retaliating against me, right?"

Oh, wrong. It should be that they are worried that the Wei family will not regain its former glory and will not be able to acquire more assets

She was even more delighted, shrugging her shoulders, "You know, I have never had any principles in front of him"

On that day, Cheng Gaigai, upon arriving, saw the brightest tower in the East, which repeatedly flashed her name. It was Wei Guangyin using this method to tell her, "I am here." Just like on the darkest night over a decade ago, when he sent her into the maze, guiding her way.

Heart attack

I saw the two of them discussing some company matters again. Wei Guangyin hung up the phone and turned back to see me in a daze. He patted my head and said, "Why do you look so troubled?"

Obviously, I don't have the courage to put myself in harm's way, so I sent over an outline and some old photos of the alleyway near the old house to fulfill my obligation. About ten minutes later, she threw over a photo of the small Western-style building under the Wei family's name and said, "Do you still dare to say you haven't been hiding your beauty in a golden house?!"

However, the thoughts and feelings of the girl could not be realized after five minutes

It is said that she used to have a sentimental attachment to Shanghai. She also studied at a university in Shanghai, majoring in painting. One weekend, she went on a sketching trip with her classmates and happened to pass by this mansion. She found its antique structure well-preserved and wanted to sketch it. However, she was chased away by the bodyguards, who claimed it was a private property. Meanwhile, all the photos I took were of the scenery inside the courtyard. Gu Yuanyuan is quite nosy, so she immediately dragged me out for a shopping trip, demanding that I explain it in person.

Upon seeing him subdued, I instantly became like a fly that has seen blood, my eyes turning red with rage

This is a great sentence I found after searching on Weibo for a long time. "You're the one who's drunk, not him. Why would he ask you such a stupid question?" It makes sense when you think about it. "So what do you think we should do?"

Excited to the point of shamelessness, I blurted out, only to find the boy bending down, approaching my eyes and eyebrows, his breath spraying onto my nose and eyelashes, "No, it's you who's chasing me," he said firmly.

The party held the popcorn, not turning back, as the screen's light swept across his brows and eyes, "Then find someone cuter." The tone was resolute.

Cheng Gaigai received an order, hung up her phone, and sat on the flower bed by the roadside to rest. During the five minutes of waiting for the timer to go off, she took the opportunity to imagine the scene five minutes later.

He considered it carefully, with a tone that was half serious and half joking, "Are you thinking about how we should handle things when we argue in the future?"

She did not anticipate the vehicle driving in the opposite direction

I thought you had a sense of propriety ... ...

Upon seeing me, Jie Ran's delicate and petite face momentarily twisted into a grimace, but she soon seemed to feel embarrassed and followed Ye Shenxun as he strode away.

Later, I passed by a men's youth clothing store and spotted a jacket that I found simple and elegant, which I thought would suit him. To my surprise, he bypassed the jacket and took a shirt from inside instead

According to the development of the story, it is indeed an excellent example of childhood sweethearts achieving a successful union. However, this girl, having grown up in a pampered environment, is extremely willful. Relying on her surname, she shows no regard for anyone's feelings. Initially, Ye Shen personally went to Paris to propose, but due to a few embellished remarks from others, she threw a tantrum and refused. It was thought that their relationship was solid, and their marriage would not change, as everyone would be pleased with the union of two strong individuals. Unexpectedly, a third party emerged to disrupt the situation.

He acted quite responsibly.

Afterwards, Wei Guangyin took time out of his busy schedule to have a meal with me. I put on a unhappy face according to the plot, but he enjoyed it while eating with my gloomy expression. "Not long ago, Mr. He welcomed back his long-lost biological son who had been lost outside, and even entrusted the environmental protection project of Wei's shopping mall to him. That's why I hurried back from Shanghai to meet him."

Obviously, my self-proclaimed clever brain sometimes goes blank and forgets that this is an economy class with a large number of waiting passengers. Wei Guangyin's eye-catching index is already off the charts, and with my added contribution, countless pairs of eyes are focused on us.

Just as I was envisioning the bright future with Wei Guangyin, I suddenly heard a clear voice from outside the private room: "Miss Xie, Mr. Ye, please come this way."

Because

Unbeknownst to them, Sheng Shan was also having a meal. Sitting across from him were two individuals, one named Zhou Yin and the other Ye Shenxun

Since any choice may lead to the abyss, why should I not choose the path that leads to him? Even if that road is fraught with flying sand and rolling stones, just the thought of him ahead is enough to quench my thirst for hope

He is pleased to see it succeed

The driver kindly stopped me and said in soft Shanghainese, "Miss, although we have already arrived at Nanjing Road, there is still some distance to the venue you mentioned. If you get off now and run, it will take at least more than half an hour, do you understand?"

Classmate Wei, are you pursuing me?

Reality is more ruthless than it appears I blinked and interrupted her without hesitation

Wei Guangyin seemed unaffected by the newspaper, facing me without any embarrassment. His casual tone resembled that of an old friend who had known me for many years, as if he were about to say, "Goodness, others actually claim that you and I are having an affair." It was as if he were saying that my name and his, even if accompanied by the most sensational photos in the world, would never stir up any waves as long as his heart remained as clear as a mirror.

It seems that in a haze of drunkenness, I vomited all over Wei Guangyin's suit.

During this time, the instigator who made me blush has already left to freshen up, and soon stood at the door, beckoning me with a teasing expression as if playing with a pet. Whenever he wears this expression, my head starts buzzing, and I tighten the blanket, "What's up?"

I, who am caught in love, am hardly different from a fool. I snorted through my nostrils and said, "Haven't you thought about it? If I die, you will just find someone cuter."

It seems that it cannot be found" he said without hesitation

Fortunately, the waiter entered the room to serve the dishes, breaking the deadlock. However, the person at the next table happened to walk out at this moment. It was Ye Shen who wanted to leave, and Jie Ran hurriedly chased after him, accidentally knocking over the soup in the hands of other waiters and burning his arm.

I resent you for making me experience the desolation of parting time and again

So what? The most important people are already by my side. Just thinking about this fills me with enthusiasm.

The fact that Qi Yueying is my biological mother is something I do not know how to bring up with Wei Guangyin. This is how people are; one may possess a determination to be unwaveringly devoted to someone, yet there are certain secrets for which one may not necessarily have the courage to voice.

He, he, he, this is, I am about to be incoherent

"After five minutes, look up towards the east"

It's rare to see him so happy. I performed with even more enthusiasm, pretending to scold him, "I warn you, don't think you can be reckless just because you're handsome. When I'm angry, you're not allowed to laugh at me!" He put down his chopsticks, with a serious expression, "Why?"

He watched that match! He actually went to watch it on purpose! Moreover, he remembers it

The man's eyebrows are perfectly balanced in thickness, complemented by his sparkling eyes under the light, as he faces me with a relaxed posture. His gaze flows gently, like a stream. For a moment, I even imagined a scene fifty years into the future

If one day I die first, I will wait for her at the edge of that world, while continuing to live

The ever-leaping thoughts, the eternally radiant face, the young man with a thousand words stuck in his throat, took a moment before saying: "The second time"

When Sheng Shan received my nonsensical call, he did not show much surprise, only asking, "Oh, what do you plan to do?"

What do you like to do when you are angry? Eating a portion of crayfish for three people. What happens after you finish eating the crayfish?

At the same moment, the subtitles began, and indeed, it ended in tragedy. The lights of the big screen lit up one by one, as Wei Guangyin looked back, wiping the tears streaming down my face. These tears traced over invisible wounds. All the wounds are the patterns etched by the passage of time in the years I stumbled and learned to chase after him.

I guess

While someone is experiencing inner turmoil, the young man has already returned to a state of calmness. "Let's go," he said, as he gently took the document and her hand.

He is at a certain club on the Bund. When he asked me to help carry his luggage after getting out of the car, I accidentally took his briefcase along with the novel materials. He asked me to have the butler assist in delivering it.

Have you seen today's newspaper? The headline is - Everything You Need to Know About the Wei Group's Young Master and Boss Shen Zhou.

The lane remains congested, with no speed and even less excitement

When I was apprehensive after Sheng Shan's words, Gu Yuanyuan discussed the content of the new book with me and asked if there was anything in particular I wanted to write about

The second time, now. I know that boy, he is waiting for me, but I am powerless. The surrounding crowd is bustling, racing against time, and occasionally a few are willing to stop, yet they do not know where that private club is located

I have made several efforts, yet I still do not dare to easily open my heart to him, fearing that the harmonious situation I have painstakingly established might collapse in less than a day. With a heavy heart, I ask: "If one day you discover that I have concealed some matters from you, please do not be angry."

Well, that's why I like it so much

The person at the door paused for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, generally speaking, for those he has liked, he will not treat them poorly; just look at Jie Ran to understand this."

I have some difficulty recalling the subsequent developments

The private room is designed in the style of a Japanese double door, making it invisible from both inside and outside, although the sound insulation is not very effective. Two people were led into the private room, right next to us, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Indeed, after I pushed myself to run a certain distance with sheer willpower, I overlooked the fact that I was not familiar with Shanghai. Upon exiting the alley and facing this brightly lit, intricate web of roads, I experienced a profound sense of insignificance for the second time.

The evening breeze of the Huangpu River is intoxicating, leaving her dazzled and him with hair dancing in the wind. A flower, long since planted, sprouts and buds in this enchanting atmosphere

The woman over there remained calm, "You only need to say one sentence." "Which one?"

When one is fully invested, it is easy to lose oneself, exhibiting a kind of solitary courage that is willingly reckless. Just as at that time, for the sake of a single business deal with him, I forgot that I am no longer the invulnerable person I once was.

In "My Fair Princess", Zi Wei says that her mother spent her entire life thinking, hoping, resenting, and hating. ... However ... . ... She still feels grateful to the heavens for allowing her to have such a person to think about, to hope for, to resent, and to hate. I feel the same way.

I am grateful that I wholeheartedly followed Wei Guangyin and was not swayed. Otherwise, my future situation would be sitting in a large house, waiting for a man who I do not know where he is or who he is holding. In that case, I might truly sharpen my knife and kill him

At that time, Xie Ran was just over ten years old. It was the first time in her life that she received a rose, both real and unreal, bright red as if smeared with the richest cinnabar in the world, stirring a wave of passionate blush in her eyes.

Just as I was lost in thought, that person called the waiter, walked up to me, placed his palm flat on the top of my head, gestured to the position of the second button on my shirt, and then, seemingly satisfied, said, "Let's settle the bill"

The shirt appears ordinary at first glance, yet it is extremely fitted at the waist. Wei Guangyin, tall and slender, has just had a few snips of his hair in the morning, and with this attire, his silhouette is further accentuated, indistinguishable from the noble gentlemen described in all the rumors. This led me, a notoriously frugal person, to not even consider the price; I immediately asked the waiter to wrap it up, taking it upon myself to compensate him for this garment.

Wei Guangyin was indeed on official business this time, hastily delivering me to my destination before turning back towards the CBD, seemingly to meet someone for a discussion on collaboration

However, I am not in a much better position. I can only watch helplessly as the person I like is with another woman, yet I have no right to intervene

During that ten-minute standoff, I listened to Ran's heartfelt confessions and learned about the origins of her feelings.

Many years ago, I believed that "yielding" was a virtue. In order to avoid hurting Suiwan, I kept retreating, only to be met with cold blades and frost. Later, I became afraid, afraid that I was an ill-fated person. To give Wei Guangyin a new life, I silently chose to leave. However, no one became even a little happier, and many people I cared about ended up paying the price for my self-righteousness

Perhaps subconsciously, I have poured out everything that should and should not be said under the influence of alcohol. Whether he understands or accepts it is no longer within my consideration. As long as he does not run away, I have the courage to continue to hold my ground

Fate has arranged so many regrets for her, wanting her to attain enlightenment instantly. However, she no longer wishes to become a Buddha. She only wants that boy named Wei Guangyin to accompany her for the rest of her life. In the most ordinary manner, to walk with her, warm porridge, chat, and stand at dusk.

However, I do not blame her

No, no, no... don't stop

Everything that needs to be known? I am sorry, but I do not wish to know. It is easy to guess how many times I have been criticized, mainly digging up my past with Ye Shenxun, accusing me of being fickle and of being a fair-weather friend.

It is indeed laughable

He was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to have made some kind of resolution, "Yes, what?"

The sound of applause came from across the room, "Not bad, Cheng, you’ve improved." Sheng Shan's eyebrows lifted with joy, "At last, your age is finally proportional to your intelligence."

Knowing that the heavens' net is vast and all-encompassing, I followed him without looking back the moment he appeared

Following her gaze, it turned out to be Wei Guangyin, whom she had just parted from not long ago

Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences. I recall the words of the previous editor-in-chief of the publishing house, who said that I had climbed up to your hands; otherwise, with the wheel of fortune turning, it would never have turned to someone as unappreciative as I am. Feeling a bit frustrated, I couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that... you really have some hidden rules with me?"

Wei Guangyin let out a sound, his gaze falling upon the modern biography beside my hand. After a brief pause, he inquired, "Modern background?"

In moments when he remains silent and uncommunicative, I feel a sense of fear. Like a passerby who has never truly understood him, I sense an aura that warns others to keep their distance.

Sheng Shan splashed water all over my face, "He may not care whether you will cheat, but if you come out of the closet, the reaction might be greater."

The young man across could not hold back, swallowing the food at the entrance with a vague expression, his face brightening with a smile, and his already formed shoulders trembling slightly, unable to stop for a long time

Wei Guangyin, still half-asleep, casually ran his fingers through his hair and said, "No."

She said that when she escaped from Bin City, she once thought that some people could be forgotten as long as they were not seen. It was only later that she realized he was a cloud that was everywhere, drifting about. Not only does he look beautiful in sunny weather, but when it rains, she also longs to be drenched.

The little person in my heart suddenly reared its head and roared, and I struck her head down with a swift motion, much like playing whack-a-mole, filled with rage, "Don't say a word!" Wei Guangyin jumped in fright, thinking I was yelling at him, staring blankly, yet forcing himself to remain calm, "Oh, I won't say anything..."

There will always be a day!

The mall was filled with a dazzling array of goods, yet Wei Guangyin's attention was not on the outerwear; instead, it felt as simple as a typical couple accompanying me on a shopping trip. When he spotted something new and interesting, he would point it out to me, and the two of us would slip in and tinker with it.

I unconsciously stood a bit closer, vaguely hearing a few questions from that person, "The He family's call has already reached me..."

Since I cannot tell her, I can only discern for myself

I said that you kissed me forcefully

In this world, everything is judged by appearances. The young waiter, unexpectedly forced to display affection, not only did not show any aversion but instead cast a look at me as if to say, "You must have saved the galaxy in your past life." ... Although I might have truly saved the galaxy, but ...

Once I clarified the purpose of this trip, he fell silent for a moment, as if contemplating something, and then his gaze drifted as he said: "My father has a small villa in Shanghai, which is the former residence of a warlord from the Republic of China. The villa has a unique structure and is located near the former ten-mile foreign concession, which might be of help to you"

When Sheng Shan threw a stack of steaming newspapers in front of me, I flipped through them and pretended to be calm, saying, "They look quite good in the photos."

Indeed, Gu Yuanyuan's gaze was fixed directly on He Yuan's face. At that moment, I felt even more unhappy, rolled my eyes and complained, "Are you blind?" She, however, stated that she preferred cheerful boys. Wei Guangyin clearly had a calm demeanor, which did not appeal to her, and she even subtly implied that I had a masochistic tendency.

Hmm?

You often say that Wei Guangyin is quite deep and inscrutable, and I do not deny it. However, Sheng Shan has always kept a clean space in his heart for those he cares about. I may not be the one he loves, but I believe I belong in that space, and so do you. Otherwise, he would not have concealed the truth from me and helped you escape. As for Ye Shenxun ...

In an instant, I suddenly understood. No wonder he was solely focused on calling the butler! Because no one else could be found!

The shirt is light gray, and it is not particularly different from other men's shirts, except that the collar has been specially designed, with the buttons placed lower than usual. He took it to the fitting room, and half a minute later he walked out, making me unable to help but admire his taste

I was led by the butler, stepping over the dark red bricks, winding up the steps at the entrance. Before my eyes stood two tall camphor trees in the spacious courtyard. In the late summer and early autumn season, the leaves had deepened in color, a few fragile ones swayed gently in the air, rustling softly before falling.

This time, Wei Guangyin was not accompanied by He Bo, only a bodyguard. While waiting for the flight, he dismissed the other person and came over from the VIP passage to greet me

The butler of this house is not as amiable as Mr. He. Although Mr. He is not particularly close to me, he is at least kind. As for this individual, he must have been misled by the news, and upon seeing me living in the house of a "financial backer" like a shameless singer from the old days, he naturally does not show me a pleasant demeanor. Therefore, I did not wish to trouble him with conversation and decided to deliver the documents to Wei Guangyin myself

Gu Yuanyuan's eyes are as round and smooth as her name, "WHY?"

I could not contain my excitement and jumped in place, unexpectedly bumping into the young man's forehead, immediately hearing a muffled grunt. Through gritted teeth, I fully accepted Sheng Shan's blessing for my journey: to proceed, albeit foolishly.

In Wangcheng, Sheng Shan is referred to as the Tianshan Girl, yet in the end, it is He Yuan who takes her in

This time he was not alone; beside him was Qi Yueying, along with the young lady with the surname He, and a young man whose profile was barely obscured by him.

Based on past experience, when I am in a bad mood, I invite Liu Dazhuang to eat lobster. After finishing, I give him a good beating, and tomorrow will be a brand new day

A sweet sensation filled my heart, followed by a hint of melancholy. I huffed and stuffed the popcorn into my mouth: "Go ahead, find someone cuter, I'll take her with me." I completely assumed that I was his favorite person.

I recall the past years in Chengkan, when I also got drunk once. Ye Shenxun and his precious younger brother Ye Shenxing said that after I got drunk, I performed a pole dance. Thinking about that eye-watering scene, I felt embarrassed and, clutching the blanket, asked the person who was slowly waking up, "I didn't dance any strange dances last night, did I?"

Upon waking again, Wei Guangyin was lying on the sofa in my room, likely having not slept well throughout the night, his complexion lacking vitality

Indeed, I am utterly intoxicated! Alcohol truly is a troublesome substance

Men like them are truly frightening. The key is that she obediently sent this message. A woman in love is even more terrifying

She still ran, looking worn and breathless, as if she had exhausted all her strength. He stepped forward to support her, and after a while, she looked up and said with a relaxed smile, "My goodness, this is the first time in my life I have been in such a prominent position."

I understand Sheng Shan; she is not the kind of person who would stab someone in the back. If she were to do so, she would certainly give prior notice. She has already done so, and it is I who have become complacent in the midst of it all.

I do not understand the meaning, but when I looked up, I saw him shake his teeth and say, "I heard that the ideal height difference for couples is when the girl reaches the position of the second button on the boy's shirt. Without this outfit, you might never be able to reach it, right"

What remains is, five minutes later, on the Oriental Pearl Tower, her name shimmering like glass

In the end, he crossed his hands and leaned on the table, looking at me with a mix of sincerity and jest, lamenting: "It's over, change it, what if you really die in front of me?"

Influenced by "Shanghai Beach," I have a particular fondness for the blood-soaked streets of Shanghai and the bustling dreams of the past. It has not yet materialized due to the saturation of the Republican-era book market and various other factors that have delayed it until now. I never expected that my usual discourse would receive such support from Gu Yuanyuan this time, who even suggested that I go to Shanghai to live for a few days, to stroll through the old alleys and personally experience the local customs and culture

The Wei family was at the airport, ready and prepared, and Mr. He also arrived, bowing slightly and saying "Sir." I do not need to guess how much movement there has been with Shen Zhou during this time; since Sheng Shan has made his position clear by standing on the opposite side, it is understandable that Wei Guangyin and I were photographed in Shanghai.

It is rare to receive her praise; I straightened my nearly nonexistent chest and immediately felt as if I could soar to the heavens. She suddenly tugged at my wings, pulling me back down to earth, saying: "With a mind like yours, I can stand by Senior Brother without any reservations."

His serious expression almost made me believe him. Fortunately, I thought about it; if he really had kissed me forcefully, could he still remain calm in my room? Would he not throw me out onto the street? He is the kind of person who would retaliate tooth for tooth even for a hidden notebook, let alone for having his purity tarnished.

For example, while watching a movie, I spontaneously immerse myself and Wei Guangyin into the characters. When the female lead is terminally ill and about to pass away, I cautiously ask, "What would you do if one day, the person you love the most dies first?"

Just as I was about to retort, I suddenly heard a voice exclaiming "Be careful!" and my whole body was pulled away with a force, turning me in a wide arc to face the corridor.

On the day of farewell, Sheng Shan said, after I leave, remember to forget me, from now on the mountains are high and the waters are long. But for someone who loves you, how high can the mountains be? How long can the waters be? No matter how far, I will pass by one by one, walking to your side

As soon as I got home, Gu Yuanyuan eagerly asked me on Q what ideas I had. If I were to answer that I spent public funds not writing a book but rather dating, would she... not blacklist me, right

In the dramas, it is often portrayed that the mothers of boys believe that girls are not worthy of their sons. In my case, however, my own mother deeply feels that I am worthless and is determined to break us apart. The key is that with other people's mothers, I could still confront them and prove that I have some redeeming qualities, at least excelling academically as a top student. But with my own mother, I might not even make it through the door before she casually remarks, "You crawled out of my womb; how much do you think I know about you?" reducing me back to my true self.

When Sheng Shan finished collecting the line, Zhou Yin cut a small piece of steak from the plate, and without changing his expression, handed it to Sheng Shan's bowl, saying: "You texted to suggest calming down; for matters like this, a kiss is sufficient."

The ambiguous relationship between Wei Guangyin and me, which seemed to be together yet not together, drove me to the brink of madness, but I cannot tell Sheng Shan about it

As the saying goes, a large tree provides ample shade. When Her Highness the Princess issued her orders, I hastily grabbed a few pieces of luggage and rushed to the airport, not expecting to encounter Wei Guangyin here. He is also on a business trip, with the same destination of Shanghai, and astonishingly, we are on the same flight

She said, if I get drunk, I will definitely make a scene and vomit all over myself, and only Wei Guangyin will help me clean up the mess... When the time comes, he will help me take off my coat, and I will appear to refuse while secretly feeling flustered... Before she could finish speaking, my face turned red, "Sheng Shan! You rogue!" I shouted loudly.

The contract is not particularly important; everyone is going to have dinner together tonight, and it would not be out of the question to send it to the restaurant then. However, in the moment when the river breeze brushes against his face, Cheng Gaigai's panicked voice feels like a soft sword, piercing his heart and creating a hole in it, as if many words are struggling to come out. He quickly composed himself, clarified her location, and ultimately covered everything with what seemed like a superficial remark.

Because the person I like has someone else in their heart

However, in today's world, it is not only Sheng Shan who has fallen in love; I have as well. Thus, the terrifying me truly took this opportunity to get myself drunk. I completely disregarded any medical advice, dietary restrictions, alcohol, or spicy food. Because after so many years, I understand better than anyone that some things cannot withstand the test of time

Thus, I immediately forgot the grandiose words I had spoken in front of Sheng Shan, chuckling, "Let it be, I will prepare for the new book"

I did not see the face of the old acquaintance either

Every weekend, he is always eager to invite me to have hot pot. With the addition of the good lady, it becomes a gathering of three. Ever since he rejected the good lady, that girl has also kept a low profile for quite some time, as if they had all agreed to leave me alone in the corner

... ...

In the evening near Nanjing Road, the traffic congestion was overwhelming. I urged repeatedly, and the local taxi driver, in an effort to find a shortcut for me, ended up getting stuck in an alley. Seeing the wheels not moving an inch for a long time, I was anxious and worried about delaying Wei Guangyin's important matters, so I immediately opened the car door, intending to run over.

On the other end, Wei Guangyin answered the phone and immediately heard Cheng Gaigai feigning tears. She said she was bored and kindly came to deliver documents, but the club was too remote, and few people knew about it

I let out a long sigh, and Sheng Shan raised his tone slightly, "But didn't Jie Ran prevent him from struggling to the death? So, I estimate he will make things extremely difficult for you."

However, imagination is of no use. The reality is that just as I set down my luggage and intended to fully appreciate this "past scenery," Sheng Shan's phone call came at an inopportune moment

I ... ... what the hell? ... ... ... really listened to Sheng Shan's words ... ? ... did it!

I wonder if one day he will understand, even though the female protagonist in his story may not be me. However, the marks that time has etched upon me can only be summed up in two words

Deep in thought, Sheng Shan tapped his index finger on the table, knocking twice. "I got the newspaper from Zhou Yin, and Ye Shenxun must have found out too. Guess what his reaction was?" He had a look of great interest.

Wei Guangyin moved into the western-style building with me, probably because I asked too many times on the way, "So where do you live?" It was not that I harbored any frivolous intentions; as a delicate young literary girl, who could I possibly be frivolous with! It was just an old house, and although it was cleaned regularly, one inevitably feels a bit scared when alone.

Yes, thank you. I completely did not consider my own innocence; I am ashamed.

Sheng Shan Miao Wu, he intends to take revenge on Ye Shen Xun, who showed him no respect at all back in the hospital

He called out "Aunt Yue," which informed me that the caller was Qi Yueying. The young man's brows furrowed and then lifted, thinking that the reason she called this time must be that we had been spotted shopping by some tabloid, prompting her to intervene even from a thousand miles away.

Ye Shenxun seemed not to have heard, and after a moment of contemplation, advised me, "This won't do, you should revise it."

I paused for a moment, "A person who is proud will be left with only a handful of ashes even if burned. I have hurt him, and he will not allow himself to make the same mistake; otherwise, you would not even see today's newspaper. The fact that you see it indicates that he tacitly permits me to be at the forefront, becoming a tool for Shen Zhou to stir the waters."

The clubhouse is located near the Pearl Tower, where Wei Guangyin stands in the most conspicuous spot downstairs, waiting for the girl to arrive

In Wei Guangyin's eyes, I saw a version of myself that was exceedingly cautious. That expression of "You must not deceive me, otherwise I will resolutely stand by my principles" must have seemed utterly ridiculous to him. Otherwise, why would I want to scrutinize carefully, only for him to suddenly avert his gaze and turn his head to answer the phone

Oh, right, also remember to tell that self-righteous woman of mine, "Don't you confidently claim that we won't have a good ending?"

Gradually, Jie Ran's voice became increasingly choked, as if she were sobbing. She recounted how much she had given up for Ye Shenxun, including her proud career on the runway. In order to win him back, she had refused to renew her contract with the agency, intending to be a devoted girlfriend by his side, and eventually a future wife. She was also willing to leverage her family's resources to assist Shen Zhou in dealing with the Wei family.

That's not right, Cheng, change it! This is not the line!

Oh right, she thinks the sting I gave her is not enough. Turning her head slightly from the door, she said, "Actually, I quite like how shameless you are, it’s quite similar to me."

wait a moment

I suddenly want to ask, does "shameless" refer to my ambition to conquer the world, or does it refer to my constant yearning for that bright moon? Regardless of which it pertains to, I have no intention of making any changes.

It is ... ...

In this情景, I cannot help but imagine a scenario where a gangster's offspring has a deep-seated grudge against me, loves me, yet cannot bear to kill me, and thus confines me in this enormous golden cage... Each day, I wash my face with tears, and after crying, I hold onto the leaves, lamenting the fleeting seasons, waiting for the other party to appear... Such a love-hate storyline is worthy of the large tree in the courtyard. Its existence is meant to culminate in the end, where the female protagonist crashes into the trunk, dying to make a statement, thus achieving a sense of grandeur...

Their commotion made me somewhat nervous, and due to a physiological reaction, I felt the urge to go to the restroom. I took a turn and unexpectedly ran into the earlier 'male lead' at the door. He stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall, seemingly having anticipated my exit, with an expression that was inscrutable.

The company will cover the expenses, so feel free to gather materials

As I focused my gaze, the janitor was passing by, carrying a bucket of wastewater just cleaned from the restroom. The floor was slippery, and the janitor stumbled slightly, nearly spilling the entire bucket of water. However, after Ye Shenxun shouted a warning, he spun me around, not out of protection, but rather using me as a human shield, placing me in front of him.

A loud clang echoed in the mind

You mean to say that you are standing on Zhou Yin's side, right

Although the analysis is thorough, Ye Shenxun's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, and I am still unable to ascertain it
