Chapter 1309 - 1309 1295 Deep in the Heart

Chapter 1309: Chapter 1295: Deep in the Heart Chapter 1309: Chapter 1295: Deep in the Heart When they stepped out of the inn, it was only then they realized how dark it had already become.

Everyone was quiet, as if each person was preoccupied with their own thoughts.

Ouyang Yue couldn’t hold back and said, “Since we’re all suggesting a moment of silence, let’s not hang around together. Go for a walk on your own, and if you get lost, just make your own way back to this inn.”

Before they split up, Guo Yuyun stopped Song Xizhi in his tracks, saying, “Brother Song, come with me; I have something to tell you.” She then continued to move forward.

Song Xizhi hurried to catch up.

Ye Chen and Ouyang Yue watched the two of them walk away into the distance.

Ouyang Yue said, “I heard that those two haven’t even shared any intimate touch yet. Do you think they might not be able to resist anymore?”

Ye Chen looked her way, of course, only this girl would come up with such wild thoughts.

“Seriously, everyone has needs, and when you can’t resist, you act that way.”

“I think you’re the one with serious needs right now, and what you need is a big, hefty guy,” said Ye Chen.

Ouyang Yue glared at Ye Chen and kicked at him, saying, “It’s obvious you’re just upset seeing those two being all lovey-dovey and you’re too embarrassed to admit it.”

“Nonsense, how could I be upset!”

“Really? Whether or not you’re upset, only your heart knows; you can’t lie to yourself.”

Damn, how did this girl read him so well, as if she could see right through to his heart and knew his discomfort.

“Not upset, as if. Now I understand why you were so eager to send them away.”

Ye Chen, walking side by side with her, curiously asked, “Why is that?”

“Isn’t it obvious? It’s because you’re feeling uncomfortable inside. Out of sight, out of mind. You hope they’d leave quickly because, in reality, you’re just jealous,” she continued.

“You know, if you didn’t spend so much effort trying to figure me out, you would probably have thought of a way to deal with Longhun by now,” said Ye Chen.

“Hit the nail on the head, didn’t I? It’s the same with everyone, putting on an indifferent facade, but bleeding inside,” she replied.

“What about you then? Why are you so concerned about my affairs?” Ye Chen retorted.

“How am I concerned about your affairs?”

“Curious about what I’m pondering in my heart, if that’s not being concerned, what is it?”

“I am not,” Ouyang Yue continued. “It’s just that Nangong Yan is my sister. She’s gone now, and I just didn’t want to see you too pitiful, that’s all.”

“Who knows,” said Ye Chen coldly. “Trying so hard to keep Yu Yun here, you know very well what your true intentions are.”

“I think you’re the one overthinking things, always assuming you’re some kind of treasure, when you’re actually just a mad dog that could go crazy at any moment.”

“That’s right, a mad dog, but what of it? There are still people who lean this way.”

This guy was at it again, spouting nonsense nonstop. When Yun’er was around, he wasn’t so annoying, but as soon as Yun’er left, he began to talk nonsense, as if he was farting.

It was as if he was provoked, needing to say a bunch of stuff or else he wouldn’t feel happy.

“Always thinking about all sorts of messy things.”

“I feel like you’re especially angry,” said Ouyang Yue.

“Not at all,” he replied.

“Really not, seeing Guo Yuyun and Song Xizhi leave didn’t make you angry?”

“Why should I be angry?”

“You’re jealous.”

“What have I got to be jealous about? If I wanted to get something, I’d just have to ask for it—I have no need for jealousy!”

Ouyang Yue sneered and said, “That’s right, you’re correct, you’d just have to ask, and it’s because you care about her that you’ve made the decision you did. But that doesn’t mean you’re happy about it. Even though you think it’s the right thing to do, in your heart, it really hurts; you don’t want it to be this way.”

“Talking as if you know me so well,” Ye Chen said, with his arms crossed, unsure of where to go as more and more people crowded the streets.

“I wouldn’t dare claim I understand you that well, but I’ve noticed you’ve been quite neurotic lately, getting angry over nothing, just like the weather in June. One moment it’s calm, and the next, the sky is dark with clouds, and every single time, it’s after Guo Yuyun’s absence that you suddenly explode, as if someone has wronged you.”

“That’s not true,” he denied.

“If it’s not true, take now, for instance. You’re clearly not pleased, seeing Yun’er leave with Song Xizhi, you start venting on me, you’ve become extremely neurotic,” she said.

“I think you’re the one who’s neurotic.”

“There, you can’t even handle someone speaking the truth about you.”

“Don’t act like you know me so well.”

“I wouldn’t dare say I know you that well, but this is what I’ve found out so far. When Yun’er is around, you’re like a castrated rooster, saying nothing at all. The moment Yun’er leaves, you start setting off firecrackers, lashing out at anyone you can find. It took me a long time to figure that out.”

“I think you’ve just got too much energy. Instead of focusing on revenge, you spend your time analyzing me. You must be bored.”

“I think I’ve hit the nail on the head, and there’s nothing shameful in admitting it.”

“I can’t be bothered to argue with you about such boring things.” Ye Chen quickened his pace.

“See, I’ve struck a chord, haven’t I? You don’t want to listen anymore, right? You want to run away.”

“I just think you’re too nagging and presumptuous.”

“Is that so, or have I struck a sore spot, leaving you speechless and your heart bleeding internally?”

This girl was truly annoying, how could there be someone so irritating, to the point of being detestable.

“Not talking anymore, huh? Black Demonic Spirit’s words of frustration – who do you think he was talking about?”

“Talking about you.” Ye Chen tossed out those few words.

“I wish he was talking about me. ‘Frustration’ may not sound nice, but he was stating facts, and it is indeed very frustrating.”

“I think you’re the one who’s frustrated, not anyone else.” Ye Chen’s steps became faster.

Ouyang Yue called out, “Can you not walk so fast?”

“You go back, I want to walk alone for a while.”

Ouyang Yue stopped, probably having hit the mark, or else why would he be so deeply affected?

But she had to speak out. If things carried on like this, with nothing said, the pressure would continue to build up for both of them, which wasn’t a good thing.

After saying what needed to be said, the rest was up to the other person to think about. That was all she could do.

About that girl Guo Yuyun, after spending a few days together, she realized that no matter what Guo Yuyun thought in her heart, she was the same as that monkey – unable to let go, not knowing what to do, feeling like there was only a paper-thin barrier between the two, which could be easily broken through, making everything else simple.

Maybe it would make things worse, but it could also suddenly make everything better.

Song Xizhi followed behind Guo Yuyun. Guo Yuyun just kept walking, Song Xizhi had no idea what Yun’er wanted to say, but from her nervousness, it was clear she was having trouble speaking up; otherwise, she wouldn’t just keep on walking without saying a word.

It seemed like she had a lot to say, but was too embarrassed to say it.

Song Xizhi also lowered his head.

Suddenly, Guo Yuyun pointed at a bench under a tree ahead. The bench, overlooking the riverside, was backed by a long street, and the area wasn’t very bright, but it wasn’t very dark either.

If it was too bright, it would be hard to talk face-to-face; if it was too dark, it could feel oppressive. A dimmer setting would be better.

Song Xizhi followed her with his head bowed.

Guo Yuyun sat on one end, and Song Xizhi sat on the other.

He could sense that Guo Yuyun had something very important to say.

Guo Yuyun didn’t start talking right away but hesitated in silence for a moment, as if trying to organize her thoughts for what she was about to say.

Guo Yuyun said, “I really can’t hold back anymore, I’ll just tell you the truth: I can’t leave that monkey, I can’t do it.”

Song Xizhi looked up, gazing at her dimly lit face, yet he was remarkably calm, as if he had already come to terms with this reality. Over a period of time, he had seen Yun’er’s distress, and it seemed no matter what happened, he was emotionally prepared. “Just say whatever you want to,” he said, fearing she would become too repressed if she continued like this.

Perhaps not being able to see her expression clearly helped Guo Yuyun feel less uncomfortable, and she bravely continued: “If I told you that I could completely forget about him, I’d be lying to myself. I just can’t forget him. It’s becoming more intense.”

“But isn’t he with Yue’er now?”

“No, all of that is fake. I’ve figured it out. Nothing happened that night; they were deceiving me.” It was when Guo Yuyun found out that she and Ye Chen weren’t that intimate, Yun’er began to wonder. Finally, during an accident, she overheard a conversation between Ye Chen and Ouyang Yue and understood what was really going on. She hadn’t been wrong; there was nothing between those two.

“What do you mean, fake?”

“Right, I’ve interrogated the maids in their house. Nothing happened on that night. The two of them didn’t do anything; they were putting on a show for me to see. They are as innocent as boiled water.”

Song Xizhi still seemed surprised: “When did you figure this out?”

“I found out before we left for Sacred Spirit Island,” Guo Yuyun had kept it a secret, wrestling with it for a long time because it would undoubtedly hurt Song Xizhi the most. Of all people, Song Xizhi had invested the most in her, and learning such news would strike him the hardest. That was a given, so she had been uncertain about what to do, feeling a bit reluctant, yet she realized she couldn’t deceive herself.

Guo Yuyun went on: “I know why she did it. It’s because he didn’t want me to become another Nangong Yan, fearing it would bring danger to me, so he prepared this lie. You wouldn’t have been able to tell; they don’t act much like a couple, especially not during this recent time, it’s even less convincing.”

“You’ve been dragging it out because you don’t know how to face me, right?”

Guo Yuyun gave a slight nod and said, “You’re the most innocent in this, dragged into it, and I did want to live well with you. But I just can’t forget him. Even if he leads me into hell, I’d willingly go. I don’t care what happens in the future.”
