Yang Cheng blushed and stuttered, "Erm … didn't I just say … that … I don't like it."
"Why don't you like it?" Cai Ning probed.
Yang Cheng didn't dare to look at Cai Ning's penetrating gaze. He rubbed his hands and said, "I don't feel well."
Cai Ning suddenly revealed a bright smile and turned around. Her shoulders were slightly shaking, and it was obvious that she was still secretly laughing.
Yang Cheng couldn't take it anymore and said gloomily, "What are you laughing at? Don't tell me you like it?"
"I used to think that you were fearless and thick-skinned, but it turns out that you can be shy too," Cai Ning said leisurely. "Now that I look at you, you look like a young man in his twenties."
"Young man?" Yang Cheng's mouth twitched.
Cai Ning turned around and looked at Yang Cheng's twisted expression. She couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You should be around the same age as Yeonyeon, so you're younger than me. Can't I call you that?"
Yang Cheng was quite distressed. It seemed that he was born too late. If he was in his thirties, he wouldn't be laughed at by older women.
The two of them stood opposite each other quietly for a while. Cai Ning's gaze was gentle as she said, "Actually … I've felt uncomfortable too …"
"Hmm?"
"I mean … I don't know when it started, but I also felt uncomfortable when I saw you with different women …" Cai Ning's face couldn't help but turn red after she said this.
Yang Chen gulped. He didn't know what to say. Worried? Distress? Fear? No, no, I'm clearly excited and happy.
Cai Ning stroked the hair on her temples and continued, "Do you remember that night when I was looking at the stars on the bridge in Zhonghai?"
Yang Cheng thought for a while and nodded, "I remember. I was going home with Mingyu's family after dinner and bumped into you when I was driving across the bridge. I remember very clearly that you were thinking about something and were very focused. I called out to you and you actually fell off the bridge. Fortunately, your qinggong allowed you to fly back up. After that, I accompanied you to watch the stars for a while. Also, you didn't circulate your energy to resist the cold at that time. I'm still very curious even now. "
Cai Ning pursed her lips and smiled. "Thank you for remembering it so clearly."
"By the way, I got it. You were so engrossed in looking at the stars that day because you knew that you would be summoned back to Beijing and punished because of me, right?" Yang Cheng suddenly came to a realization. After that, there was no news of Cai Ning. His reaction was really slow!
Cai Ning shook her head. "It doesn't matter anymore. It's already in the past."
"I always feel like I owe you something, but you're right, the matter is over, if anyone comes to harass you again, I don't mind making a big deal out of it." Yang Cheng said seriously.
Cai Ning chuckled and said, "Actually … during that period of time, I would often go out alone at night to look at the stars. I would also go in the winter."
Yang Cheng was stunned. "Then … you also don't circulate your energy to resist?"
In the winter in the south, it was inevitable that the temperature would be below zero at night. Moreover, they were on the bridge, which was filled with water vapor and the temperature was exceptionally low. Yang Cheng looked at Cai Ning in confusion. Did this woman really like the feeling of being frozen?
Cai Ning lowered her eyebrows and said faintly, "I don't know why either. Ever since you saved me at the back mountain of the Liu family, I would often think of your shadow. Although I could monitor you at any time and see you, I still couldn't control myself from thinking about you …
But I knew that it wasn't right, but I couldn't control myself.
Until one day, when I was walking alone at night, I raised my head and looked at the stars. Only then did I realize that when I looked at the night sky, I could calm down and think about other things.
I didn't circulate my energy to resist the cold on the surface of the river because I hoped that in that kind of place, my body would become ice-cold and the cold wind would cool my heart … "
Time became abnormally slow at this moment. Yang Cheng didn't know what kind of feelings he had, but the needle-like pain in his heart made him not dare to easily open his mouth and say half a word.
In his mind, the woman in front of him stood alone on the surface of the river, shivering in the cold wind, looking up at the back view of the starry sky.
Yang Cheng knew that things like feelings weren't something that could be forgotten or abandoned just because you wanted to. It was the most difficult human instinct to understand.
Perhaps you could restrain it, but you couldn't erase the pain it brought.
Yang Cheng thought of the disgust and heartache he felt when he heard that Cai Ning was going to marry Yong Ye. He finally realized that he didn't know when it started, but this woman who was originally sent to monitor him actually made him care a lot about her …
Seeing that Yang Cheng didn't speak, Cai Ning didn't have any intention of stopping. She laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Every time I see you with another woman, I'll warn myself again and again that you're a terrible man. It's better not to be silly.
Especially that time, you actually caused Yeonyeon to be so disheartened that she had to participate in the Wild Dragon Reserve Team's selection. I really hate you to death. Why can you be so tolerant towards Mo Qianni, Qiangwei, and those other girls, but not accept Yeonyeon … You have to know, she's my only sister …
Luckily, nothing happened to Yeonyeon and she ended up with you in the end. When Yeonyeon told me about it excitedly, I was very happy, but also a little uncomfortable. It's true. "
"Actually, I …" Yang Cheng wanted to explain what happened with Choi Yeon back then.
"Don't speak," Cai Ning interrupted him, "Let me finish."
Yang Cheng was silent and nodded.
"Actually, I also know that you're not the kind of person who will fall in love as long as it's a beauty. I also know that the women around you have all had unusual experiences with you. It's just that there's always a knot in my heart.
But … Even so, I'm just an outsider, so I hid it in my heart and never said it out loud.
This time, my parents were very worried. In the end, my mother begged the Li family to let me marry Yong Ye …
At that time, I thought, if I get married, then so be it. Although Yong Ye isn't much, he won't be able to bully me. In the future, we'll all be busy with our own things, and it'll just be one more certificate. At least that way, I won't let my imagination run wild about you, and I can also let Mom and Dad Anxin … "
Cai Ning took a deep breath, and her eyes were slightly red. She smiled sadly and said, "But now, I realize that things aren't like that at all.
Today, when I saw you and Yeonyeon coming home, I felt like my heart was being torn apart. Although I feel very happy for Yeonyeon, I really can't control myself. "
"Do you know, Yang Cheng?" Cai Ning's eyes were sparkling as she said, "Our family only has the two of us. The other uncles all want to replace my father's position. Since I was young, I knew that dad was actually under a lot of pressure. So, not only did I want to be an elder sister, I also wanted to help dad share his worries.
So, I wanted to do everything to the best of my ability, whether it was in my studies or anything else. Later on, when I was in my teens, I quickly agreed to go to the Tang Sect in Sichuan to learn martial arts. Although I knew that if I did that, I wouldn't have the chance to go home for almost ten years, and I would need to live alone … But I never regretted it.
Because only when I fought and suffered, could our family have a stable foothold. Then, Yeonyeon could do the work that she likes, and could be like the other young ladies, falling in love and getting married … "
Cai Ning bit her lips and said, "I always thought that I would live like that for the rest of my life …
But just now, Yeonyeon suddenly asked me, 'I've always lived for others. Can't I live for myself for once in this lifetime …' "
Yang Cheng stood stiffly on the spot, unable to extricate himself from looking at Cai Ning, who had never been so weak before.
Cai Ning wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and smiled brightly, "So, I was willful for once. So, I want to try living for myself for once. Do you think there will be a good ending?"
Yang Cheng didn't say anything. He strode to Cai Ning, opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace.
"This is not a question, because other than a happy ending, there won't be any other options," Yang Cheng whispered into the woman's ear.
Cai Ning's body stiffened for a moment, then slowly softened. She awkwardly wrapped her arms around Yang Cheng's waist, trembling as she hugged him. Feeling the warm breath beside her ear, her tears uncontrollably soaked Yang Cheng's chest.
"Clang …"
The sound of pottery colliding broke the silence at this moment.
Yang Cheng and Cai Ning quickly turned their heads. Because the two of them were so focused on each other that they didn't notice someone approaching!
At this moment, they happened to see a flustered and bewildered Choi Yeon looking at the two of them, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
And under Choi Yeon's feet was a small flower pot because she wasn't paying attention just now.
"Yeonyeon …" Cai Ning's pretty face turned pale, and she immediately let go of Yang Cheng's hand. She struggled free, her eyes wandering uneasily.
Choi Yeon forced a smile, looked at her sister, and then looked at Yang Cheng affectionately, and said, "Actually … It's nothing, you two like each other, I can tell …"
Yang Cheng felt very bitter in his mouth. He had always thought that if he could have a pair of beautiful sisters, it would be a very enjoyable thing. But now that it seemed to be right in front of him, he realized that when you invested your true feelings, even if the two women were biological sisters, it wasn't an easy thing.
"Sorry, I …" Yang Cheng felt that he was at a loss for words. Although it wasn't the first time he was fickle, it made him very embarrassed every time.
Choi Yeon had tears in her eyes. It was unknown whether she was happy or sad, but she smiled and shook her head, saying, "You don't need to say sorry, because … Love doesn't need to say sorry."
