Chapter 1244 - 1244 1230 The Broken Heart

Chapter 1244: Chapter 1230: The Broken Heart Chapter 1244: Chapter 1230: The Broken Heart “It’s all my fault,” Ye Chen said, his heart aching as he, too, reminisced, but he couldn’t voice it.

“So many times, we were close to being together, yet why is it that we can’t end up together in the end? It’s so unfair of fate. I’ve tried so hard, just wanting to be with you for a lifetime. I don’t care what might happen in the future. As long as I’m with you, even if it’s just for six months, or two or three months, it doesn’t matter to me. I really can’t be without you.”

Ye Chen’s eyes also turned red.

“It’s so unfair, but that’s reality, there’s no fairness or unfairness to speak of. It hurts inside, but I can only accept it, though I’m very reluctant. I just want to treat you well.”

“Yu Yun, forget about me,” he said, with nothing else that he felt he could say.

“Is it really that easy to forget someone? Can you forget my sister?”

Her words cut like a knife.

“I know, what happened with your sister is in the past. I just want to say that forgetting someone you like, whom you are willing to do anything for, is really too hard. Even if you say you’ve forgotten, deep down in your heart you know that you’re lying,” Guo Yuyun said coldly, “Hey, don’t just talk, drink with me! This might be our last drink together, so let’s make it count. Tonight, we’re not going home unless we’re drunk.”

The glasses were not small, apparently, they had been purposely switched.

“Drink up, who knows if we’ll have the chance again?”

The atmosphere grew melancholic.

“That girl is not bad, at least she comes from a wealthy background and is prettier than me. She’s deserving of you,” Guo Yuyun said.

“You’re still a bit prettier.”

Hearing this, Guo Yuyun smiled and said, “What use is that if, in the end, it’s that girl who ends up walking with you?

I now believe that not everything can be achieved by hard work alone. Sometimes luck really does play a part. It must be our fate, I guess. I feel a bit regretful.”

“Regretful?”

“Regret not turning you from plain rice into a cooked meal. If I had, we could have been together, but now whatever we say is too late.” As she spoke, a smile tinged her words, clearly unresigned.

“Song Xizhi, that young man, truly isn’t bad.”

“Yes, I didn’t say he was bad, but my heart only has room for you. My head is filled with thoughts of you, all of our past, which I really can’t forget.”

“I’m really not as perfect as you think.”

“Liking someone isn’t about good or bad, once you fall for them, there’s no reason for it, it just becomes irrational. It’s strange how, when you like someone, you even love their flaws. Isn’t it a bit masochistic?”

Ye Chen felt the same.

“Let’s not talk about that anymore, I’ll bury these feelings in my heart and keep them as everlasting memories, which I will cherish deeply.” Those words were surely coming from the heart.

Ye Chen felt guilty and didn’t know how to face her. She was definitely a silly girl, and he had never heard her speak of these things before.

“Every time we were almost there, suddenly something would happen, and then we’d part ways. It looks like this time, there’ll be no more joking around. This time it’s for real.” She fell into deep thought, beginning to recall every little memory between them since the days on Earth Demon Island.

Ouyang Yue returned to the courtyard, but could not find any trace of Ye Chen, nor did she find the girl.

Night fell.

The Black Demonic Spirit knew as well.

Wu Jingge said, “Could Ye Chen have found Yun’er?”

The Black Demonic Spirit rushed over to say, “Maybe he thought that girl had jumped into the sea to end her life, so he jumped into the sea, too.”

Ouyang Yue glared at him and barked, “Can’t you say something nice for once?”

“But that’s the reality, isn’t it? Otherwise, explain why he isn’t returning. Even if he didn’t find her, he should have come back to check if we did,” the Black Demonic Spirit replied coldly.

He wasn’t wrong, and Ouyang Yue murmured, “That means Ye Chen might have found Yun’er, otherwise he would have definitely come back.”

Song Xizhi slightly lifted his head.

Ouyang Yue anxiously shouted, “If that guy found her, he should have come back to tell us. How could he be so detestable, not knowing we’re worried sick!”

The Black Demonic Spirit said, “Hey, in that case, shouldn’t we go ahead and have some dinner instead of waiting around here?”

“All you know is eating. You’re going to turn into a pig,” Ouyang Yue was panicking.

“Hey, I’m not the one who’s hungry. Even if you’re truly worried, hopping around isn’t going to help. You need to fill your belly first, then we can think of a plan together. Maybe while we eat, the two of them will return.”

Ah Ya said, “Then I’ll go prepare dinner for everyone.”

“Hurry up then, and make sure to cook a sweet and sour carp.”

Really, at a time like this, he was still demanding sweet and sour carp.

Ouyang Yue was clueless, but this was the only explanation she could come up with.

Song Xizhi was also anxious on the side, worrying that Yun’er might do something foolish.

Wu Jingge comforted, “Yun’er is a strong person, she probably won’t do anything silly.”

“Maybe the two of them have eloped,” said Black Demonic Spirit with a light smile.

He was still unaware of the falsehood behind Ye Chen’s relationship with Ouyang Yue, thinking Ouyang Yue had forced Ye Chen to be with her. He also knew that Ye Chen’s heart held Guo Yuyun; under such circumstances, eloping was still a possibility.

However, Ouyang Yue knew it was an absolute impossibility.

Li Mo Wen asked, “Did Yun’er show any signs of abnormality last night?”

Song Xizhi shook his head.

“Just let them suffer, suffer to the death; there will come a time when the game ends,” Black Demonic Spirit said coldly.

Ye Chen left Yixiang Brothel carrying the drunken, child-like Guo Yuyun on his back.

Yun’er was already nearly completely intoxicated, her eyes half-closed as she lay on Ye Chen’s back, speaking drunken nonsense filled with memories, but every word was heartfelt.

Ye Chen, without saying a word, just listened to her, feeling a stabbing pain in his heart.

“Farewell, from now on we will live separate lives, I’m truly tired.”

The streets were still bustling with people.

“Never again, I’m so unwilling, why did it have to be this way, the heavens are just too damn unsympathetic.”

Listening to her breathing, Ye Chen recalled many past events. The girl was right, they had nearly been together twice; once because of Wei Yiling, and another time due to the incident in Bell and Drum City.

“How could you not wait just a bit longer, why were you so impatient?” cried Yun’er, her tears coming forth, and she continued, “I regret it, I should have taken the plunge and made you mine, but why couldn’t I be a little bad?

You are too selfish, fully aware that I really like you, that I could give you everything, including my all, but why did you keep it hidden from me, did you even consider my consent! You didn’t, yet you still went ahead with it, leaving me no choice, you are such a jerk, too selfish.”

Ye Chen walked very slowly, each step heavy.

“You actually had the nerve to send me away, telling me to go back and marry someone else, how could you do that, to still claim you liked me, why didn’t you just hold on,” Guo Yuyun continued to lash out, “Even if it was just for a few months, I could have stayed with you, just being with you was enough. Sending me away, forcing me to marry someone else, that’s just detestable.”

Ye Chen’s eyes grew red as Guo Yuyun clung tightly to his neck, curling up on his back, her ramblings breaking one’s heart.

“I know you don’t want me to be in danger, worried I’ll end up like Nangong Yan, but I care because losing you is like losing myself, do you understand! I just want to be by your side, keep walking with you, not caring about anything else, whatever happens in the future, I just want to be with you for a lifetime.”

Ouyang Yue paced back and forth in the courtyard, not sure how long she had waited. Everyone had stayed silent.

Suddenly, a voice broke the quiet of the yard, “They’re back, they’ve returned.”

Ouyang Yue flew out, ready to scold them for not saying anything, making everyone worry. Naturally, she was very angry and ran out first.

Around the corner, a figure appeared, carrying someone. That person was Guo Yuyun. Even though she was dressed as a man, one could recognize her at a glance. Both of them reeked of alcohol, and the girl, like a bullied child, nestled on his back, asleep.

Seeing this, Ouyang Yue’s anger subsided by more than half. Although Ye Chen wasn’t drunk, he seemed slightly inebriated, his brows furrowed and his expression stern, he asked with concern, “Nothing happened, right?”

Ye Chen just shook his head. Song Xizhi stepped forward to take over.

Ye Chen, worried that passing her over would wake her, said, “I should take her back myself.”

Song Xizhi stepped back.

Ye Chen carried Yun’er back to her room and laid her on the bed, leaving her to Song Xizhi and Ouyang Yue.

After leaving the room, Ouyang Yue called Ah Ya to bring in a basin of hot water, and Ah Ya went to get it.

Ye Chen went to the courtyard, where Black Demonic Spirit asked, “You weren’t molested, were you?”

Ye Chen looked back tiredly, making sure no help was needed.

Taking a deep breath, Black Demonic Spirit said, “That’s good. I haven’t even taken a bath; it’s been such a tiring day. I need to change and get a good night’s sleep.”

Ye Chen said to Li Mo and the others, “All’s well now, everyone is tired from the day, head back and rest.”

Li Mo and the others dispersed.

Ye Chen returned to his own courtyard.

Ouyang Yue, with the help of Ah Ya and others, changed Yun’er out of her clothes that smelled of liquor, washed her face, and after about one hour, everything was in order.

Song Xizhi foolishly watched all this from the side.

Ouyang Yue said, “It’s good that nothing happened, I’m leaving now,” and handed the matter over to Song Xizhi.

Ouyang Yue returned to the yard where, after a day’s commotion, everyone else had gone to rest, and she was also ready to do the same, only to discover someone leaning against a pillar in the pavilion, curled up like a kitten. He was sitting below, next to a jar of wine. Without a closer look, one wouldn’t have even noticed him there, the dim moonlight coldly illuminating his pale face.
