Chapter 20 He Finally Spoke His Heart
Xie Siyuan lay in bed all day. His fever finally broke.
I still had to go to work.
He insisted on driving me there and picking me up every single day.
After a full week of this, the online buzz died down.
The live streams no longer needed my face.
That evening I cooked dinner, planning to send him back and tell him our life here was good enough without him.
But he got drunk first. He kept clinging to my waist, mumbling half-sentences.
“The day you came to find me and forced me… that time I met Shen Chuxue, she only came to return the money our family sponsored for her education. I agreed to marry because it was you. Just you.
“When you asked if I liked her, I wanted to say no, but it felt like someone was choking my throat, stopping the words…
“The things I said when I barged into your office weren’t what I meant. I couldn’t control myself.
“I had a dream. In the dream Shen Chuxue stood in front of me. She said her name was Shen Tingwan. She asked if I loved her. I told her I would never love her…
“I saw so many words floating in the sky, saying I was finally going to be with Shen Chuxue.
“But I don’t want to be with her. I only want to be with you, Shen Tingwan. Please don’t abandon me again, okay?”
Tears rolled down his face as he spoke.
Listening to him, my own tears fell without stop.
If anyone else had suddenly said those words, I would have thought they lost their mind.
But I knew Xie Siyuan wasn’t lying.
Because every scene from that dream had come true.
He and I had only managed to break free from that so-called plot.
Shen Weian calmly took a sip of water. He picked up a small wooden figure from the floor and handed it to me.
“Wow, it’s already got that shiny patina from being rubbed so much.”
I looked down at him. “Do you want a dad?”
“If you want one, just say it. Don’t ask me.”
I was speechless. He was as arrogant and tsundere as Xie Siyuan used to be.
I raised my head and gazed at the moonlight.
If I really couldn’t let go, then I should follow my heart.
