Chapter 71: A Certain Reality of the World

  "What's the point of worrying about it now?" Yan Xiang smiled wryly, her eyes, which should have been clear and bright as a young girl's, already held a depth of worldly experience.

  A faint pain in her heart, Yang Lei knew she had softened. This girl, let her see the former self, so she would put down her own body, and with the rich businessman negotiating, finally rescued her out with a year's worth of free advertising as the price.

  I lent her some money, thinking she would leave this place and live a life that should belong to someone of her age, but who knew, she actually stayed in this place.

  Yang Lei wouldn't know that, after being rescued by her, Xiang Yan encountered those people who had offended him at the nightclub again, and barely escaped with his life for the second time. If she knew, she would probably be even more furious!

  "You're still so young, why stay here? Can't you live your own life? You don't have to ruin yourself like this, it's not your fault." With a heavy sigh, Yang Lei held her hand and consoled her.

  "I knew it all along, but Yang Lei sister, I really can't let go. I love him, I really love him. Although I tried my best to suppress myself from loving him before, although I kept telling myself that time would fade everything away, but after going through so much, I finally realized that my love for him has never decreased like I imagined it would."

  Yan's voice was almost mechanically firm, speaking of his love to a bystander for the first time, without any embarrassment, only the unyielding determination that had been through the ups and downs of life.

  Her dull eyes held back tears like rain, and Xiang Ye was also a strong person. However, her family life had always been too happy since she was young, so she wasn't used to showing weak emotions. She did have them, and she wasn't someone who wouldn't cry, it's just that she hadn't met anyone worth crying for yet.

  Yang Lei's heart ached, such a passionate and reckless emotional outburst, she feared would never happen again in this lifetime.

  Clearly understanding the character of that person in her heart, knowing her own identity, Yang Li has never been an emotional person. Her terrifying rationality doomed her to be far from love for this life.

  She never had anyone teach her what love was, and she spent half her life living without emotions. Acting was just pretending, so emotions were never a big part of her life. Without emotions, she would still be fine.

  Gently looking at Xiang Yan, Yang Lei suddenly smiled and slowly wiped away her tears: "Do you really love him? Are you sure your feelings are love, not infatuation?"

  "I love him, you may not believe it, but from the moment I saw him in middle school, I liked him. It's not infatuation, just seeing him smile makes my heart feel warm all over." Xiang Yan pulled Yang Li's hand, with an unhidden smile in her eyes.

  It was as if she had thought of the scene where they first met, when she was still a primary school student, sneaking into junior high to catch a glimpse of him walking down from the flag-raising platform. At that time, he was only in his first year of junior high, and under the warm sunlight, he smiled like an angel. She felt that in that instant, something in her heart had collapsed with a loud crash.

  Later on, she started secretly following him, but would never let him discover her, because as soon as he saw her from afar, she felt like she had eaten sugar, and was genuinely delighted.

  "Even now, I clearly know that it's impossible for us to be together in this lifetime, but I'm still willing to stay here, just because this place has his presence, and I can comfort myself that we are possible, that we are together."

  Yang Lei didn't say a word, she felt that she couldn't understand this so-called love at the moment, she just thought it was all just Yan's obsession.

  "You say fate is strange, he was such a person, this life should have been smooth and easy, but..." As she spoke, crystal tears flowed out of her eyes again.

  Yang Lei slowly let go of her hand, furrowed his brow and stared at her: "That's his fate, if you really care about him, then leave him far away!" It wasn't that she was inhumane, but as an onlooker, Yang Lei often saw things more clearly than those directly involved.

  "Far away?" Yan Xiang smiled, "No, I won't leave. Don't tell me those melodramatic plots from TV dramas and movies. I'll stay here, no matter what."

  As she spoke, she suddenly burst into tears again, and the unconscious tears surged once more with an unstoppable momentum. Despite her gray eyes being red and swollen, she still said carelessly: "I've had enough of uncertain factors, are you going to make me give up on this one thought as well?"

  Yang Lei wanted to continue saying something, but she thought about it and still didn't say it out loud.

  Young people, even if you know that some things are already set in stone, everything must be experienced by yourself after all. Fearless and reckless courage to move forward is the right of young people.

  …………

  Shao Qi woke up in a fiery sunset, with a golden glow in the room that felt unreal. The person was standing there, outside the window was a residual sun like blood, and the slender and straight figure was still as beautiful as the best comic book in the world.

  Shao Qi didn't say a word, but the other person seemed to have already known he was awake and said, "Get up and change your clothes!" The voice was still crisp and clear, yet carried a hint of ethereal sweetness.

  Shao Qi didn't pretend either, and directly got out of bed to ask: "Where are we going?"

  "Go to a good place!" The light and casual words, Shao Hua slowly turned his head to look at him, because of the backlight, his face was a dark and gloomy color, but Shao Qi still felt that unusual excitement and bloodthirst.

  …….

  The night is enchanting, the whole city has bid farewell to the style of the day, and the unique charm of the black night is blooming recklessly. In the flashing lights, it's a dazzling sight.

  A luxurious private villa, at this moment is also the most lively time, gathered a group of stylish figures in black, white and gray, those who come and go are either shining with gold light or dazzling with an aura of power, almost all of them have labels on their foreheads, making it hard for people to ignore.

  Weird and wonderful luxury cars, like ants in a line, yet ordinary commuters shuttling back and forth, amidst dazzling lights that make the entire area seem noble and extraordinary.

  The car slowly stopped in front of the gate, with neatly dressed Western suits, stern and polite, but with a hint of nobility and arrogance, standing respectfully on one side, waiting for the people in the car to get off.
