Yang Cheng did not expect the girl to question him. Looking at Zhenxiu's clear and bright eyes, Yang Cheng smiled guiltily. "Ashamed? What do I have to be ashamed of? "
"You don't?" Zhenxiu seemed to have expected this. She walked up to Yang Cheng and stared straight at Yang Cheng. "Alright then, I'll tell you what I'm ashamed of."
"Xu Zhenxiu … You …" Yang Cheng wanted to interrupt, afraid of what the girl would say.
However, Zhenxiu had no intention to stop talking to Yang Cheng. Her eyes were red and her voice trembled with emotion.
"Brother Yang, I like you."
The girl's soft but firm words left Yang Cheng at a loss for words. His face stiffened and he was at a loss of what to do.
Zhenxiu suddenly smiled gently. The girl in the white wedding dress looked like a fairy in the snow.
"Brother Yang, do you remember when I was studying for my college entrance exam in Zhonghai? You came into my room one night and found me folding frogs …"
Zhenxiu blushed as if she was still shy at the mention of this embarrassing incident.
Yang Chen nodded blankly. He remembered it, but he was still having a headache over Zhenxiu's sudden confession. He didn't know what to do.
Everyone, including Park Cheon, was dumbfounded. Not only was the bride poisoned by the groom, but the fact that the bride was in love with a man named Hua Xia was also revealed!
"You must have thought that I was strange at the time. Why would I fold frogs at that time? I can tell you now …
At that time, I realized that I had unknowingly fallen in love with you. However, you were Sister Ruoxi's husband. I couldn't do anything that would let Sister Ruoxi down. So, I could only hide my love for you in my heart.
I wanted to study hard, but I kept thinking about you. It made my mind a mess. I had to do something else to distract myself.
I tried to write in my diary. It was full of hate for you. No, I quarreled with you so that you would scold me and make me hate you …
But I still missed you. So, I thought of using origami to vent my feelings. It seemed that every time I folded a frog, I would miss you less … "
Zhenxiu lowered her head in shame and stammered, "But … I used to play with some boys when I was young. The origami I knew was frogs and ninja darts. But I couldn't put my feelings into the darts. It seemed like I hated you. So … I kept folding frogs, one after another …"
Yang Cheng had regained his senses. He could not help but laugh when he heard Zhenxiu's absurd words.
However, whenever he thought of the soft back view of the person who was silently folding the frogs under the table lamp, Yang Chen couldn't bring himself to smile …
Zhenxiu wiped the corners of her eyes and looked up with a smile. "Am I stupid? Of course I am. You're laughing at me in your heart, but that's just how I am. I don't care if you laugh at me because I dare to say it."
"Zhenxiu, I …"
"You don't need to explain, and you don't need to reason with me." Zhenxiu complained. "I slowly figured it out. You've always known about my feelings for you. You're so observant. You even found out about Eunjung and Kim Jip. How could you have missed me? I was just burying my head in the sand.
That night, we were eating instant noodles in front of the convenience store. You knew I wanted to kiss you, right? But you pretended that nothing had happened.
When I was in Seoul, without you by my side, every time I thought about this, especially in autumn and winter, I saw leaves falling from the trees. It was as if my heart had fallen with them and drifted away with the wind. It made my heart ache. "
In Yang Chen's mind, it was as if the girl's life in this familiar yet strange place had also appeared. His heart ached.
"Brother Yang, you've always used the excuse that Kim Jip is a good man to brush me off. Now, do you still think I should marry Kim Jip?"
"This … Of course not." How could Yang Cheng be willing to push Zhenxiu into the fire pit? "I just didn't expect him to do such a thing …"
"Of course not, because you like me in your heart too." Zhenxiu suddenly said confidently, "You can kill people for me without hesitation. I can see what's in the depths of your eyes."
The corner of Yang Cheng's mouth twitched. "Girl, you can't say things like that. I see you as my sister."
"Sister Hui Lin used to be your sister-in-law. Don't think that you can deal with me with such words." Zhenxiu's almond-shaped eyes widened.
Yang Cheng was at his wit's end. "You … That's not the same thing. My feelings for you are … are …"
For a moment, Yang Cheng didn't know how to continue talking to Zhenxiu. The lines of defense in his heart were on the verge of collapsing.
Zhenxiu seemed to be a little angry. She gritted her teeth and stomped her feet. "Brother Yang, are you a man or not?! I'm a girl, and yet I dare to say these words in front of so many people. Can't you face your heart calmly?
Sister Ruoxi wants to divorce you! I haven't done anything wrong to her! I'm free, and you're free too!
Why must the relationship between a man and a woman be so complicated? I just want to know your feelings. I don't want you to marry me right now. I don't want you to give all your love to me and stay with me forever!
Why are you stuttering like this? Can't you use a short sentence, a single word to explain? Can't you? "
Zhenxiu seemed to have reverted to the fierce and hot delinquent girl she used to be. She asked anxiously, "Do you like me or not? Just say 'like' and I'll willingly become your woman. Even if you don't marry me, I'll have no regrets. This is my choice!
If you say 'no', I'll leave obediently and be your sister. Or, I'll go to a place where you won't see me and worry about me. I'll find a man to spend the rest of my life with. It's that simple! Tell me now! "
The girl's shriek left everyone speechless. Park Cheon looked at his granddaughter in disbelief. He never thought that Zhenxiu would have such a selfless side to her.
"It's not that simple … I … Ugh!"
Before Yang Cheng could finish his sentence, Zhenxiu had already pounced on him. She hooked her arms around his neck and pressed her thin cherry lips tightly against Yang Cheng's!
Yang Cheng's mind was in a mess. Before he could even react, this fiery scene had already unfolded.
The guests gasped in shock while Park Cheon and the others paled.
Zhenxiu's kiss was forceful and jerky, but she gave it her all. It was as if words could no longer express her repressed emotions. She wanted to give everything she had to him.
Yang Cheng's consciousness gradually became muddled. His mind was in a whirl. The girl's alluring scent was like a drug that intoxicated his brain.
In his mind, scenes of the past appeared one by one, like an old movie …
…
At the entrance of the police station.
The girl stuffed the crescent pendant into the man's hand. "Uncle, this is for you. My mother left this for me. She said it's a talisman. I'm giving it to you now. "
"How can I accept such a precious thing?"
"Uncle, you're the first person who's willing to step forward to protect me. You've made me feel like I'm being treated well. I used to think that this talisman was protecting me. But now, as long as I have Uncle, I don't have to be afraid." The girl's serious eyes were filled with radiance …
…
On the white snow, the girl sat on the swing while the man squatted in front of her.
"Ah … What a beautiful girl. I can't bear to let you go when I see you. Little girl, will you come home with me? Although I'm a little too young to be your father, will you be my little sister? Answer me, will you? "
"Yes, I will." The girl cried tears of joy.
"Zhenxiu, if you think that everyone in this world has wronged you, then you must remember that there's one person who will let the entire world down for you …"
…
In the dark of the night, the girl fell from the bridge and landed in the man's arms.
"I hate you!"
The man grinned. "Hate me if you want, it's better than letting me down."
The girl's eyes were red. She suddenly wrapped her arms around the man's neck and hugged him tightly.
"Xu Zhenxiu, don't ever think that you're a burden to the people who love you. You're the one and only Xu Zhenxiu in this world. Your life, whether it's for you or for all of us, is the most precious …"
…
Yang Cheng felt as if he had woken up from a dream. He could feel a cool liquid on his cheeks and lips.
Zhenxiu cried because of Yang Cheng's indifference.
But at this moment, Yang Cheng's hands were firmly wrapped around the girl's waist. Through the exquisite wedding dress, he could feel her soft skin.
Zhenxiu's breath stagnated. Her cheeks were flushed red. She blinked her eyes and looked at Yang Cheng.
"I told you that you're still young. Why are you crying?" Yang Cheng smiled in relief. "Xu Zhenxiu, I've lost this time. I admit that I like you."
Zhenxiu's eyes were misty at first, but they gradually turned into ecstasy. In the end, her thin lips trembled and her delicate body trembled, turning into a touch of shyness.
Her eyes were filled with tears, as if they would burst at any time.
"But, can you give me some time? I've always wanted to treat you as my little sister. But now that you're like this, I …"
"I know. This is enough." Zhenxiu smiled blissfully like a flower. She was like an innocent little girl who had received candy.
