"Yanyan, why can't you remember me?" he muttered. "Is it delusional to hope for us to be together? Am I really not worthy of you?" Tears welled up in his eyes. "Even when you were believed to be dead, I never gave up hope. Now you're so close to me, but it feels like you're so far away."
Chen Mu Sheng sighed. How many people had he offended just to see her happy? When Jichen suggested that she could end up falling in love with someone else, he almost couldn't contain his emotions. He hoped she wouldn't be with someone else, but if she did, he decided to not interfere with her life. That possibility alone hurt more than anything, the drop that overflowed the glass.
Tears flowed down his face. He wasn't one to cry, and Yan Shu was the only one who could leave him like that.
I refuse to keep on hiding," he swore to himself. "From now on, I'll remain close to her. Yan Shu, I won't lose you again."
