Chapter 196: 157. How could my remaining feelings be for someone else_3

To win over Lu Jincheng, perhaps all Zhou Sinin needed was to wave her hand, open the window, and release her love.

Just that.

"Blessings, I should still give blessings."

The short-haired girl firmly believed the duo was bound to be together.

"Apart from blessing, there’s nothing else I can do."

Zhou Sinin was taller than her, had a gentler personality, knew how to act adorable and coquettish, possessed captivating peach-blossom eyes, and attracted any boy’s attention.

"They actually make a good couple."

Guan Yongyi bent down and took out a photo of the three of them from the picture frame.

"Strange, why am I also in this photo?"

The girl murmured, feeling somewhat superfluous.

Thus, she placed her thumb over her own face, leaving only the couple visible in her view.

"That day was my birthday too, I even made a wish."

In her eyes, Zhou Sinin was completely different from her, inside and out.

Her own personality was gloomy and awkward, unlikable, and she wasn’t as quick-witted as her.

Merely an ordinary girl who had nothing but a passable face.

If Lu Jincheng had to date someone...

Then it should rightfully be her, right?

For Guan Yongyi, being oppressed and negated by her genius mother, Lin Lifeng, since childhood had shaped her current personality.

Beneath her seemingly cold exterior lay a pessimistic, world-weary, timid soul, afraid to bond with others, hence her perpetual scowl.

This, in turn, made people keep their distance and criticize her privately.

It was a vicious cycle.

But Zhou Sinin naturally had the opposite traits, always surrounded by sunshine and goodwill, never lacking special treatment.

When both appeared on the same scale, it was hard for Guan Yongyi not to doubt herself.

Moreover, Guan Yongyi understood her views on love.

Unlike her own well-structured family background, Zhou Sinin’s requirements for a partner differed from most.

Without universal restrictive norms.

Just a little preference for her was enough.

Incomparable, utterly incomparable.

Eh...?

Guan Yongyi suddenly widened her eyes.

Despite verbally wishing them happiness,

Why mention the scale, why talk of it being ’rightful’?

Why was she constantly comparing herself with her best friend in her mind?

Where were the blessings?

If they were so compatible, where had the blessings gone?

So strange.

The short-haired girl shook her head, chuckled dryly, trying to dispel the weird emotions from her mind.

She walked back to the Bluetooth speaker, pressing the power button forcefully.

It took her a few seconds to decide on a song.

"To never be embraced again~"

Once again, a song accompanied by guitar, the chords melodious and the bass penetrating.

Coincidentally, the song shared the same name as the little critter.

Guan Yongyi returned to the couch, hugging Mian Mian in her arms, fingers clenched, gazing out the window.

The same spot, the same cat lying in her arms.

And, that warm hug.

Dark clouds loomed closely, raindrops fell on the eaves.

On an ordinary rainy day, she couldn’t help but reminisce.

"Discussing the heavy rain and your windows leaking, it’s serious~"

The windows remained shut, the song’s voice leisurely filled the living room, the moment seemingly stretched indefinitely.

Raindrops pattered against the windowpane; it seemed the autumn rain couldn’t disperse the mist outside.

The mist, as if traversing through two spaces, continued to linger into her eyes.

The girl lowered her head, pressing her cheek against Mian Mian’s fur, eyes closed tightly, lips slightly parted.

In the next line, she joined Eason Chan in singing.

"I never loved you, Mian Mian..."

The bass in the speakers was still steady.

A second voice in the air trembled slightly but articulated clearly.

Continuously admitting and denying, letting go and holding on again.

The duet melded together, emotional and unending.

"I never loved you..."

As if a certain sentiment were slowly being pulled and torn, the tremble turned into a shake, along with her fingertips that grew pale and trembled severely.

"On a rainy day..."

Her breath was erratic; she completely lost track of the original song’s pace.

Her voice was hoarse, the trembling gradually turning into a choke.

The last line, however, she couldn’t finish no matter what.

Her eyes remained closed, yet Mian Mian’s fur was soaked thoroughly.

Yes.

She was being too strange.

Things were clear, why still repeatedly convince herself?

Clearly not opening her eyes, naturally no tears would flow.

Clearly it was raining outside, naturally affecting the mood.

Clearly seeing the truth, naturally no need for proof.

I’ve sung it out, I’ve accomplished it.

In the future...

Perhaps I could sincerely bless them now?

Because,

From beginning to end, I’ve always known.

I clearly just...

Never loved you.
