Chapter 560: Chapter 297 Standing in the Wind and Rain, There Will Always Be Someone Who Says They Love You_3
Xu Qingyan looked at her retreating back and said, “If you fall down in the bathroom, I bet by the time you wake up tomorrow morning we’ll definitely be seeing each other candidly.”
At his words, Pei Muchan’s figure stiffened.
“Then I’m going to sleep first…”
“Not taking a shower?”
Pei Muchan: “…”
In response to Xu Qingyan was the sound of the room door closing with a light bang, which made Xu Qingyan’s mouth curl into a smile. He lay down on the sofa and turned on the living room TV.
After casually switching to a channel that interested him, the corners of his mouth slowly flattened. He stretched out his hand and grabbed at the air unconsciously, still somewhat surprised.
Some words seemed unspoken, yet also articulated.
In a daze, at three o’clock in the morning.
Xu Qingyan heard a soft sound from the door and turned his head from the sofa. He locked eyes with the now sober Pei Muchan, and she immediately stepped back, hugging her chest.
This only made the already awkward atmosphere even more…
“What’s this?” he asked.
Pei Muchan didn’t answer, but instead asked, “Why aren’t you sleeping in your room? The pajamas you changed last time are hanging in the closet in the room, didn’t you open it to check?”
Xu Qingyan was startled; he hadn’t thought that there were clothes for him to change into in the guest bedroom.
“I thought you had thrown them away.”
“How could that be!” Pei Muchan covered her forehead.
She sighed and walked over to him, sitting on the edge of the sofa. A clear distance separated the two of them, with the television aimlessly broadcasting ‘Animal World.’
The blue glow fell on her delicate nose, spreading evenly across her face.
After a while, she finally spoke, her voice somewhat subdued.
“Xu Qingyan.”
“Hmm.”
He sat sprawled in the sofa, holding the remote, lazily turning his head to look at her.
“Aren’t you underestimating yourself too much and taking my feelings for you too lightly?” Pei Muchan’s eyes were downcast, not looking at him, as she continued speaking.
“From the beginning, I’ve kept all of your things properly.”
“Hmm, I previously thought…” Xu Qingyan couldn’t deny it, “Uh… thank you.”
“I… had been moved before,” she said.
“What?”
“When you said we should give it a try, I was moved,” Pei Muchan said, “but it was just a fleeting feeling. I wasn’t sure, at that time, if you would find me annoying?”
“Uh… no, that’s quite normal.” Xu Qingyan spoke lazily, looking up at the ceiling, “There’s no such thing as success on the first try, and at that time it was just a moment of impulsive thinking.”
“So many things weren’t done well, whether it was writing songs or…”
Pei Muchan interrupted him.
“It has nothing to do with your songwriting, and it’s not about the dramas you act in. Even if you had nothing, it wouldn’t matter. I just felt somewhat insecure.”
“You might feel uncomfortable with what I’m about to say, but my intuition about people is actually quite accurate. Each person carries their own traits, some like thick mucus, others…”
“Back then, I felt there was no future. Your mind wasn’t on me, you were focused on making money. My grandmother used to tell me about how she starved before.”
“During that era, there was nothing to eat, not even a mouse on the ground. She went to bed hungry every night and woke up hungry, but later life got better.”
“In the years after the famine, at the slightest stir, she would hoard grain. The food that spoiled in those years, if carefully calculated, was probably more than what was consumed.”
“She said that someone who has been beaten will always carry a knife on them at all times. You gave me that feeling back then; already wealthy, yet still so eager to make money.”
“I was afraid that if I accepted you, you would regret it after a while. I actually… like to save money too, but I prefer to spend time quietly and idly.”
“Your prospects are certainly better than mine, your achievements won’t be limited to a small studio. You’re moving too fast, and I’m afraid I can’t keep up.”
“That day will come, that’s what I think. I don’t want to get together and then break up. You… can bury yourself in work, but I can’t.”
“I would be heartbroken after a breakup, I like you more than you might think. You’re not without flaws, but you have things I like, even though you’re somewhat lecherous and your thought process is a bit peculiar… but I still like you.”
“I need a little time, hoping to go a bit further. You might not understand, I get caught up more easily than you think, so I hesitate even more.”
“Regardless, even if I haven’t completely figured it out yet, I still hope you understand, whether you stand in wind and rain or in sunshine, someone will always love you.”
