Since leaving the Half Mountain Villa, Ouyang Hao has never gone to look for Lin Yixun again. He knows very well that no matter what he does, Lin Yixun will never be with him again.
She rejected him in such a determined way, not because she didn’t love him, but because she cared about him too much. Sometimes life is just so cruel, so laughable; two people who clearly love each other deeply, yet cannot be together. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽
He never thought that someone who has always been invincible in matters of love would one day fall so hard, fall with such pain.
In the first few days, he couldn’t accept the fact that he had completely lost Lin Yixun, and almost every day he drank himself into a stupor. Every morning when he woke up, he hated himself for still being alive.
After a period of decadence, he began to learn to accept it. He started to shoot commercials, hold concerts, participate in reality shows just like before. He even told himself, look, without Lin Yixun, Ouyang Hao can still live well.
However, in a certain corner deep within his heart, a huge hole had been torn open, no matter how he tried to patch it, he could not fill the emptiness inside.
He didn’t know when that hole would be filled, yet he perversely thought that it should never be filled. That way, at least there would still be a place for Lin Yixun in the depths of his heart, a place for the woman who hurt him so deeply.
These days, Ouyang Hao has been flying all over the country, almost never setting foot on the ground. When he opened the apartment door, his eyes instinctively searched the living room for a week. Seeing the empty living room, with only a sofa, a coffee table, and a television, his eyes darkened.
In this house, there would never again be that small, busy figure.
He bitterly tugged at the corners of his lips. After so long, why hadn’t he changed this habit?
That woman was truly terrifying, like poison, infiltrating every pore, invading his mind at all times, corroding his sanity.
The clock struck midnight in the living room of the Half Mountain Villa. Sister Yi’s face couldn’t hide her anxiety, her heart was like ants on a hot pan; it was so late, why hadn’t Miss Lin returned yet.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the man sitting on the sofa opposite her, seeing only his indifferent expression, his handsome face showing no emotion. But the colder Leng Yixiu acted, the more uneasy she became.
After a while, the phone next to the man started ringing. He picked up the phone and pressed the answer button, "Hello?"
On the other end of the line, Assistant Chen’s voice rang out, "Boss, we found her. Miss Lin is currently in Puxing New City, Block Eight. From the location, it seems Miss Lin has been there all day."
Puxing New City, Block Eight?
This place was not unfamiliar to Leng Yixiu. Puxing New City, Block Eight was a famous affluent area in T City. People living there were either rich or noble. According to Leng Yixiu’s knowledge, there were no commercial streets there, so Lin Yixun went there certainly not for shopping.
Then, what was she doing there?
The man pondered, an answer leapt to mind.
Just then, Assistant Chen added another sentence carelessly, "Boss, to my knowledge, one of Ouyang Hao’s apartments is also in Puxing New City, Block Eight."
Assistant Chen’s words completely confirmed the man’s suspicion. His eyes flickered, a hint of pain flashed in his gaze. As expected, in Lin Yixun’s heart, she ultimately couldn’t let go of that man.
"Boss, should I call someone to bring Miss Lin back?" Assistant Chen’s heart was pounding as the man on the other end of the line stayed silent.
The incident of the big boss going to the outskirts to snatch someone was still fresh, now something happened again. With the big boss’s temper, if Miss Lin insists on eloping with that big star, it might end in bloodshed again.
Assistant Chen thought, before Miss Lin does anything outrageous, he could act as a mediator and bring her back. Even if she couldn’t return willingly, he could forcefully "invite" her back.
But at this crucial moment, the big boss remained silent. Assistant Chen grew more anxious, big boss, please say something, whether to bring back or snatch, make it clear so that his subordinates know what to do, right?
Just as Assistant Chen couldn’t hold back any longer, a cold voice came through the phone, "No need, just follow her closely."
"If... if Miss Lin and that star...?"
The man’s eyes darkened, "If she is willing to go with him, let her leave."
Upon hearing this, Assistant Chen was dumbfounded, almost dropping his jaw in shock. Was he hearing things? Did this really come from the big boss’s mouth?
In fact, those words did indeed come from Leng Yixiu’s mouth. If Lin Yixun’s parents had not died, perhaps he would still stubbornly keep Lin Yixun by his side, regardless of her will.
However, after experiencing so many things, Leng Yixiu realized that he no longer had the courage to forcibly keep her by his side. Her heart was already dead, her life wilting little by little.
He thought, in this world, perhaps only Ouyang Hao could reignite Lin Yixun’s hope for life again. If Ouyang Hao could make her happy, then he could let go.
Actually, when the words left his mouth, even Leng Yixiu himself did not believe them. In his nearly thirty years of life, he always did things with purpose, whatever he wanted, no matter the cost, he would get it. Even if he couldn’t get it, he wouldn’t let others have it easily.
But Lin Yixun repeatedly changed him. She constantly broke his rules and bottom lines, made him let go of his hatred, made him less selfish, even made him stop thinking about himself.
After leaving Puxing New City, Lin Yixun went to Xing Yi’s grave. Since it was late at night, many flower shops were closed. Even if they weren’t, the fresh flowers would likely be sold out. After wandering around for a while, she finally bought a bouquet of relatively fresh sunflowers.
She chose sunflowers because, in her impression, Xing Yi was just like a sunflower, warm and sunny.
She placed the sunflowers in front of Xing Yi’s grave, reached out her sleeve, gently wiped Xing Yi’s photo, and said softly, "Xing Yi, I came to see you. It’s been some time since we last met, I wonder how you are down there."
"You are so handsome and nice, you must be very popular down there. I think you must be doing very well down there." Lin Yixun smiled faintly, but her smile gradually dimmed, "But I’m having a terrible time up here. The people I love, and the people who love me, have all left me one by one. First it was you, then my mom, and lastly my dad. Do you think I’m very lousy?"
