Since she could remember, Sophia Shao had been filled with nothing but Li An—opposing him, challenging him, arguing with him... These were all ways she expressed her love.
If there was anyone in the world who loved Li An the most and understood him best, it would probably have to be Sophia Shao.
Sophia watched as Li An lay half-reclined. The morning sunlight filtered through floating curtains, casting light and shadow on his blue patient gown. His handsome face was filled with endless melancholy; silently gazing out the window, he seemed lost in deep thought and worry, leaving countless wounds upon Sophia’s heart.
She was stunned by the profound sorrow in Li An's eyes. All these years, she had followed him with all her heart and soul, pouring countless emotions into it, yet she couldn’t overcome a shadow lingering within herself.
To a woman as proud and arrogant as Sophia Shao, this was the greatest shame and defeat of her life.
Sophia gazed blankly at Li An's face, seeing his obvious sadness in his eyes. Besides feeling defeated, she also felt sorrow for Li An.
She slowly approached Li An’s side with a bowl of porridge. Carefully, she said, "Li An, are you hungry Would you like to eat something"
Resisting the heavy sorrow in his heart, Li An didn’t reveal any of his feelings. Turning to look at Sophia Shao, he showed pain and helplessness with a bleak gaze that hurt Sophia deeply once again.
"You eat it yourself then. Don't bother about me. Let me starve to death."
"What nonsense are you talking The doctor said that after waking up, you should eat something properly. You often drink and your stomach isn’t good… Therefore, I specially went to 'Hong Ji' in the morning to buy the porridge that you like the most."
"I don't want to drink it. Now forget about drinking porridge; even if you give me bird's nest soup, I wouldn't get better either." Li An pounded his chest with his hand, his voice incredibly despondent. "This place is already shattered. I can’t live on anymore. Shao Meizhuo, remember this. This time when I got into a car accident and didn’t die, it’s because the car was good and my fate is great. Next time if something happens again, I will have to die by myself."
"Spit, spit, spit. What are you talking about Talking nonsense about death and dying… Li An, for that woman, you’ve repeatedly attempted suicide…" Shao Meizhuo was so angry that her beautiful face contorted with pain, tears falling hurriedly.
Li An turned his head and smiled faintly but somewhat bitterly at Shao Meizhuo. "Don’t you hate me Wish ill upon me Have been opposing me since childhood. Now I’m going to die as you wished."
Literally defeated by Li An, Shao Meizhuo felt extremely guilty and remorseful; tears streaming down her face while sitting beside Li An’s hospital bed.
If he died, how could it possibly be what she wanted
For the first time in her life, facing Li An who was determined to die, Shao Meizhuo felt intense fear. She truly was afraid.
If back then, her mouth had been a little more obedient, perhaps Li An wouldn’t have ended up avenging his beloved with such fury.
Lì An understood Shao Meizhu, and Shao Meizhu also understood Lì An. She knew that Lì An's arrogant nature was the most unbearable when provoked, which is why she had deliberately said those cruel words to him at the airport that day.
Now, thinking about it, she felt responsible for Lì An and Yán Luoxi's breakup and could not shirk this responsibility. If Lì An really died, she would regret it for a lifetime.
Truly loving someone means hoping that they will be happy and joyful. After meddling behind Lì An's back for several years, Shao Meizhu finally understood the truth of this statement. She wiped away her tears forcefully and said resolutely: "If you can't find Yán Luoxi in your lifetime or if she has already gotten married when you do find her, how will you feel"
Shao Meizhu's words caused Lì An's heart to ache sharply, followed by an indescribable pain radiating arrogantly throughout his body.
The thought of Yán Luoxi marrying someone else filled him with a sense of wanting to die, which was even more terrifying and heartbreaking than not finding her in this lifetime.
Turning pale-faced, he turned towards Shao Meizhu, his lips trembling. "You... what do you mean Do you know where Yán Luoxi is She... she married..." As he spoke, he felt as if someone had stripped him of his skin and bones, leaving him unable to continue.
Initially, Lì An's anguish in front of Shao Meizhu was all an act. But at this moment, it was a genuine emotional outpouring that made Shao Meizhu even more heartbroken.
"She hasn't gotten married yet. Why are you acting like this" Shao Meizhu looked at Lì An with some frustration.
"Meizhu, you must know where Luoxi is now. I beg you, please tell me her news." Ignoring his injuries, Lì An suddenly sat up from the bed and grabbed Shao Meizhu's hand.
He was unwilling to beat around the bush and was too tired to pretend for sympathy. He decided to be straightforward.
Lian's palm was broad and warm. Although Shao Meizhu had known Lian for more than twenty years, she had never been held in such an innocent way by him before. She suppressed her heartache and bitterly laughed inwardly; betraying her brother once only earned her a warm handshake from Lian.
"Meizhu, I know you're stubborn but kind-hearted. My big brother Ming Zixi and the others won't tell me about Yan Luoxi's whereabouts, but you will, right Meizhu..." Lian’s handsome face was full of anxiety; he had dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes as he looked at her with mournful pleading eyes.
Shao Meizhu closed her eyes, her voice choking. "After such a long time, haven’t you noticed My brother has disappeared."
"Your brother..." Shao Meizhu's words were like bombs detonating in Lian’s mind; he widened his eyes, his pupils dilated as he struggled to breathe.
Since that night when they had a quarrel, Shao Junhe hadn't appeared before him. He knew Shao Junhe was secretly infatuated with Yan Luoxi and hated the way he hurt her. Therefore, during their outings, Lian didn’t call on Shao Junhe.
Later, when Lian went to Inner Mongolia, everyone said Shao Junhe had gone abroad upon his return. Focusing all his attention on finding Yan Luoxi, he hadn't even thought that his brother-in-arms and Yan Luoxi were missing together.
The sorrow and pain in Lian’s eyes suddenly vanished, replaced with inexplicable despair and melancholy.
Now, finally, he understood why his big brother and Ming Zixi didn't tell him about Yan Luoxi's whereabouts. He could confidently compete for Yan Luoxi with any man under the sun except Shao Junhe..Zhou Guangtao parked his car downstairs in front of He Yufan's home. Then he got out with He Yufan and went upstairs.Yan Luoxi watched their side-by-side silhouette, wondering if she should retaliate...
