In this world, there are only funny stories for the two of them.

People who love each other but cannot be together or be there for each other as their hearts desire.

And then a fate that neither of them could deny or avoid happened.

Both of them could not follow the call of their hearts to each other.

Regardless of this decision Where will theirs end up?

But they thought it was the best thing for them at the time.

But...would it really be good for both of them?

Will this choice bring happiness or misery for the rest of their lives?

“Jiang Cheng!”

Jiang Cheng left the book he was reading in front of him and looked at the source of the sound, without even having to tell him he could already guess who was making the noise and calling out to him right now. A person whose voice always comes before himself. Who else could there be at this time if not 'Wei Wuxian' who caused chaos in this port every day without tiring.

Jiang Cheng looked towards the door where the sound had been heard. Waiting until he saw the thin figure of the person calling out to him, he calmly closed and put the book back on the shelf. Because he knew very well the matter that Wei Wuxian would discuss with him. It must be a matter that takes too long to talk about.

“Jiang Cheng, you answer me now! What is the reason why you chose to follow your own will like this? Without coming to consult with me and your senior disciple!”

Is this really the case? I have strongly urged the monks not to reveal this matter to the elders, but they still keep their mouths open. The matchmaker saw that he probably wasn't able to use it anymore. But it's not like I can decide when to do something.

“Sigh…” Jiang Cheng let out a tired sigh before continuing.

“Wei WuXian, I am only looking after Mother's orders to an old friend from when I was young. Haven't decided on one path yet. I'm in the process of making a decision right now.” Even though Jiang Cheng spoke with a casual expression, he didn't feel any distress about the matter.

But in his heart, it was not like that at all. It was both confusing and unconcealable. But he couldn't reveal it to anyone either.

"So...no! You probably still don't know! What did that lady's matchmaker say about you?"

Wei Wuxian's face relaxed and it didn't take long before it returned to a messy expression, his brows almost touching each other again. After realizing something, it seemed that this time it was even more serious than before.

"It's as you said. I don't know what that matchmaker said about me. If you want to tell me something, just say it. I'm waiting to listen."

No matter how angry Wei Wuxian was with that mother's matchmaker for being so stubborn, But he couldn't help but be surprised as Jiang Cheng only answered him in a calm voice. And because Jiang Cheng was like this, it made Wei Wuxian feel even more angry. But it was more anger in Jiang Cheng for being able to act so calmly and not be upset like this.

“Then I'll tell you what her matchmaker has to say about you! You can stop having such a flat expression like someone who only has a body but no heart or soul, Jiang Cheng! Even though in the past you would have been extremely angry, this time you were more calm than ever. But on the other hand,

It was me who was angry at you, and now I'm angry at you too! What exactly is wrong with you, Jiang Cheng? I'm really not used to you being like this. Where has the old angry person gone? Where has such a vicious person gone?!”

“Wei WuXian, you are really delusional. I am me, no one else or anywhere else. Please tell me what that matchmaker said about me. If you delay like this, I will stop paying attention to what you have to say.”

"Her matchmaker said Soon you will go ask Lady Mei Li to become the Jiang Family's furen! How brave is that? Even though you haven't really made up with that matchmaker yet, how dare that matchmaker dare to say such big nonsense throughout the market? What a shameless face!

If I had known that this would be the case, I would definitely not have just let her go.”

Enraged all day, Wei WuXian who was about to leave the room almost immediately stopped his steps when he heard Jiang Cheng's voice.

“If that is the case, then of course not. The future is uncertain…” Jiang Cheng trailed off for a bit before continuing to answer Wei Wuxian.

“Perhaps I will have to make peace with that woman, right? Wei WuXian. Because that woman has more than any other woman I have ever met. She is also the only daughter of her mother's dear friend. There is no reason for me to reject her.”

"You...you!"

Wei Wuxian felt speechless for a moment and could only open his mouth, wanting to scold Jiang Cheng in front of him but unable to speak. He said this, but Jiang Cheng replied in a calm, calm voice. If it was always the case, would this Jiang Cheng have cried out loudly and ridden his sword towards that matchmaker?

Then he used the surname Zhidian to hit that matchmaker. Charged with talking nonsense

But unexpectedly, this time Jiang Cheng was not as he expected. There must be something unusual. It was probably unusual since Jiang Cheng answered him in a smooth voice like Lan Zhan's. This...what happened to his little brother!?

“Jiang Cheng, what exactly are you? Why is it as if there is no life or spirit like this!!”

Wei Wuxian walked closer and closer to Jiang Cheng and shook Jiang Cheng a few times, bringing him back to his senses.

"No, I'm nothing. You stop shaking me, Wei Wuxian. Is that all you have to discuss with me?”

Jiang Cheng replied and continued to ask the person in front of him as he removed both of Wei Wuxian's hands from his own two arms.

"Ah...oh, that's right. That's all I came to tell you."

“Then that's good. I will continue reading the book. I still have a lot of work to learn. If you have nothing else, then get out of this study room.”

Because I'm still dazed and confused by the younger person whose personality has changed like a flash of lightning. This made Wei Wuxian unable to prepare for the situation. So he could only accept it before walking back out distraught.

Jiang Cheng secretly looked at Wei Wuxian until he was out of sight. Before he stopped pretending to find a book to read and chose to walk to Sattabongkot Pier on the opposite side instead.

Yue (17:00-18:59) was the time when Jiang Cheng felt the most relaxed. When I looked out at the lake in front of me And it feels even better when there are still many lotuses blooming right now.

All at once

Jiang Cheng was slightly startled because he didn't expect that he would feel so relaxed that he wasn't aware that someone had just walked up to him. Even though right now I'm at my own home. But when you can feel the warmth from the robe that was sent just like this He knew who it was that could reach him so easily without him even realizing it.

For a moment, Jiang Cheng accidentally tightened his grip on the pure white robe, unable to release it back to its former owner. But this feeling was contrary to his subconscious right now. He instead turned to the owner of the robe, Lan Xichen, Grand Master of Gu Su, who was standing behind him, to return the robe to the person in front of him.

Lan Xichen, whose face and smile were like the rays of the morning sun. Now that smile had been replaced by an expression filled with undisguised curiosity. But it wasn't long before a smile like the morning sun came back to adorn her beautiful face again.

"Pay respects to the grandchild"

“Jiang Cheng, aren't you cold? My shirt will make you spit out the cold. Take it. Don't be considerate like this."

“I must thank you for your kindness to me. But...this is my home. This air can't do anything to me."

"Is that so?"

Lan Xichen did not extend his length. He took the shirt and put it on, feeling somewhat disappointed and heartbroken, although he didn't know why. But it seemed like the person in front of him had really changed like Young Master Wei said.

“I have something I would like to ask you about. Are you…convenient?”

"...Do you have something to discuss with me?" Aren't you here to talk with Wei Wuxian?”

“I have business with you, not Young Master Wei,” Lan Xichen repeated to the person in front of him in a firm tone.

“Then please take a seat. I'll go prepare tea..."

Jiang Cheng was trying to avoid Lan Xichen. But when I saw the eyes and voice of the person in front of me, I was heartbroken. Until I had to invite the person in front of me to sit and talk. Even though he didn't want to talk to the person in front of him, he still couldn't avoid the current situation.

“Jiang Cheng, I just want to ask you something. It doesn't take long. You don't need to go get tea to entertain me.”

Jiang Chen heard this and felt a little hesitant. before sitting down on the opposite side of Lan Xichen

“...Invite Lan Xichen.”

“Jiang Cheng...it won't be long before you. Will you marry Fu Ren into your family?”

Jiang Cheng was silent for a moment at the question that came out of Lan Xichen's mouth. He never expected that the person who directly asked him about this matter would be Lan Xichen. The person he has had feelings for for a long time. But...it wouldn't be possible for him to answer arbitrarily. No matter how much he wanted to be self-centered, He right now...duty must always come before his own feelings.

“Jiang Cheng?”

Lan Xichen felt anxious almost immediately. Because after he asked the question that was lingering in his heart, The person in front of him immediately went silent. Or he shouldn't have asked this question. Lan Xichen could only think in his head, so he called Jiang Cheng again because he saw that the person in front of him had been silent for a while.

"...not yet"

"I haven't made any decisions yet, but it's uncertain as well. But if you..."

Jiang Cheng had not finished speaking before the person in front of him spoke up. Inevitably, he had to swallow the words he wanted to say, even though he wanted the person in front of him to say anything to hold him back, even just one word. But this Lan Xichen just wished him well. It was such a blessing that it hurt his heart even more than being scolded by Wei Wuxian before.

When it came out of the mouth of the person in front of him...the person he loved with all his heart.

"...So that's it? It might be a little too fast, but I think... The fact that you would marry Fu Ren into the Jiang Family was a mistake. The person Fu Ren chose for you She must be a beautiful woman, both in appearance and in spirit. I wish you much happiness, Jiang Cheng.”

“I... also think so. I would like to thank Patriarch Grandson for blessing me in advance like this.”

“...That's all I have to discuss with you. I'll excuse myself first."

Lan Xichen only gave a faint smile to the person in front of him before asking to leave.

Jiang Cheng made a move to hold the person in front of him again. But the courage he had was not enough for him to reach out and reach out to him. He could only stare until the grandson of Gusu was out of sight. With a feeling of confusion and disappointment, as if wanting that person to hold him back for whatever reason. No matter how unreliable or unreasonable it seemed, he would believe every word that person said.

But the sentence he didn't want to hear the most came out of Lan Xichen's mouth. 'May I be happy?' How could that be? When my whole heart has only you Whether you are happy or not. So...I'm sorry. I'm sorry I can't be as happy as you hoped, Lan Xichen.

When it's quiet (23:00-24:59), everyone goes to sleep. The only son of Yun Meng's Jiang family was crying silently with heartache. He tried not to look at Lan Xichen's face at that time. But just that person saying that sentence could cause him to feel this much pain in his heart.

It was as if this heart was about to break at any moment when it saw Lan Xichen's face. The more I think about it, the more it hurts. Those words still kept repeating in his head. No matter how much he pushed it out of his mind, it could never be forgotten. It has always hurt his feelings and heart from then until now and it will probably have an effect for the rest of his life...

The more you deny this feeling, It ate away at his heart even more. It made him suffer more and more, suffering as if he would die right now.

If he had chosen to tell Lan Xichen all his feelings at that time, How much will things change? Will it make him feel less tormented than he is now? This was what he had been thinking about ever since Lan Xichen said goodbye and returned to Gusu. Mother Mei Li's qualifications were suitable for the Jiang family.

He couldn't deny that, and he would no doubt soon marry her as a Furen for the Jiang Family...

So if miracles really do happen Just this time it's good. I only wish I could tell you these words. I don't need anything else in this life.

"Hee...I, I love Lan Xichen. Hee hee..."

Please send it to him!

Wei Wuxian walked near Jiang Cheng's residence. I could hear people crying and sobbing and confessing their love countless times as if they were about to die. Wei Wuxian decided to be rude and opened the door to go inside. And because he opened it without warning, the person inside like Jiang Cheng was crying.

So he tried his best to wipe away the tears that were falling down his eyes casually and with all his might. To hold back the sound of my own sobs Seeing that Wei Wuxian had entered his bedroom,

“Wei WuXian! You disrespectful person! Why did you come into my bedroom? Go back to your sleeping quarters!”

Wei Wuxian ignored Jiang Cheng's scolding. Instead, he chose to examine the face of Jiang Cheng he loved as if he were his real younger brother in front of him without concealment. before saying what he had wanted to say for a long time He was not at all afraid that the surname Zidian in Jiang Cheng's hand would come at him.

“Jiang Cheng…you can always talk to me and senior disciple when you want. You know this well, don't you? You don't need to keep this sorrow to yourself to suffer like you are now. I and Senior Brother will always be by your side no matter what you think or do.

Therefore, don't hide those feelings from Senior Brother and me any longer, Jiang Cheng.”

“If you don't want to marry that woman. You don't need to dress up! It's nothing, isn't it? So..."

“...Can I really do that? Wei Wuxian, can I really do what I want!?”

Wei WuXian was shocked for a moment before answering firmly.

“...Of course you can always do what you want. If that doesn't cause you to suffer death like right now.”

“Wei...Wei Wuxian, it's me, I...”

Jiang Cheng heard the sentence he wanted to hear the most. He let out the tears that he had been trying to hold back for so long, once again, not concealing the person in front of him at all. He knew it was a consolation. and cannot actually be done But when he heard it He would like to be happy even just a little bit.

“Don't be upset, Jiang Cheng. I always trust your judgment. As long as the decision doesn't hurt you, that's enough.”

Wei Wuxian walked closer and closer to Jiang Cheng so that he could comfort Jiang Cheng. But it was not yet time to reach him. He had to stop his steps after hearing what Jiang Cheng had asked.

"And Mother..."

Wei WuXian gently wiped Jiang Cheng's tears from his face. It was as if he was afraid that the person in front of him would break down at any moment. If he wipes away those tears too hard

“I believe...you will definitely understand. So stop crying and go to sleep. Tonight, I will stay with you.”

"...yeah"

Even if Jiang Cheng responded easily But in his heart he knew that it would never be as possible as Wei Wuxian told himself. Not only is there a way, but there is still no way. But...even if it were true He still hopes in the depths of this heart. Even if it's just a little hope

When Chen (07:00-08:59) came to visit, it would have been a bright morning for many people, but it wouldn't have been for Jiang Cheng, who had not slept all night and had to meet a familiar matchmaker. A familiar face like this since the morning. Sigh, he wanted to sigh directly at this matchmaker like Wei Wuxian was doing, but he couldn't.

Let's just assume that Wei Wuxian is doing it for me. And...the fact that this leaky matchmaker is here shows that Lady Mei Li must have come as well. Sigh, what a frustrating morning for me.

"Jiang Cheng"

Jiang Cheng was about to turn around and return to the training ground when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Because the older disciple called him first.

“Senior? Mother?"

“You don't need to go to the dojo today. Please take Lady Mei Li on a tour around the city and buy her some things that she likes.”

"...Please, Mother."

If Mother talks like this How could he deny anything? Yes, I can't deny it. Including...that matter even if Wei Wuxian said it like that. But how am I going to do that?

"Invite Lady Mei Li."

"Thank you, sir."

Lady Mei Li responded to Jiang Cheng's words before giving him a smile.

"..." What a smile that really resembled that person. No, Jiang Cheng, you need to stop thinking. She and that person were different people.

Passing the Shen Guard (07:00-08:59) Passing the Shen Guard. (15:00-16:59) The two were returning to Sattabongkot Pier. Jiang Cheng, who was walking in a hurry, was suddenly bumped into by someone. If it happened several months ago, no, I have to say that if it happened all along before I looked at myself. He would definitely hit that person with the zitian in his hand. But now even walking

He didn't even have a conscience at all. And where will he find the strength to attack others?

"I...I'm sorry." A familiar voice brought his consciousness back to himself again.

"...Lan Sijui?"

Jiang Cheng slightly raised his eyebrows, suspicious of many things, not expecting that the Lan family's people would be here. Add to this Lan Sijui's personality and demeanor. Not someone who can walk or run into anyone. But if it were Lan Jingyi, then it would be like this. That person's personality was just as good as his grandson's.

Or was it him who was so distracted that he bumped into someone from the Lan family?

“Was it me that bumped into you?” Jiang Cheng, curious, asked the person in front of him.

"No, sir. It's my fault that I didn't walk well and crashed into you."

“Is that so? If it were truly like you said, It doesn't matter. I'll excuse myself first."

"Please"

Jiang Cheng said that before walking towards Lady Mei Li who was waiting for him not too far away.

“I must apologize to my lady for making me wait so long.”

"It's okay. Is that a disciple of the Lan family?”

“Yes, should we return to Sattabongkot Pier? Or do you still want to walk around and shop a little more? If you want, I will take you there.”

"It's better if we go back."

"Then it's up to you."

"It might be a bit rude."

"If there is any matter, please tell me. Will it be bad manners or not? I will decide after listening.”

Jiang Cheng walked slowly to the level of the person next to him, looking straight ahead like a person who was thinking all the time, without forgetting to hold up an umbrella for the person beside him, and sometimes he secretly let out a sigh. I don't even know myself.

After Mei Li said that, It takes a while or almost the same amount of time as one stick of incense stick. And finally, she opened her mouth to speak.

"...Before I came to this Sattabongkot pier as my mother told me. I have heard a lot about your reputation. Every rumor I have heard has made me afraid and suspicious of you.”

“The rumors I hear most often cannot be avoided. The saying goes that he is a short-tempered person. Hurt everyone who is disliked and doesn't care about those around you. But when I met you and was with you now I immediately realized that those people had completely misunderstood him. You are different from those rumors.”

"So?"

Jiang Cheng reluctantly responded before considering everything she had said. As far as listening, everything is all me showing for everyone to see. It may seem a bit exaggerated, but everything is me. me before Before having to meet with you

“Sir, even though you can reject me. But you didn't do it because it was Auntie's orders or not?”

“...Yes, because it is Mother's promise to her dear friend. And will there be a son like me who can disobey you? nor do I hate anything in you.”

"Is that so? You made a good decision. that can decide like this Because if the man doesn't fulfill his promise then I'll have to force you to do it. By going and announcing to everyone the knowledge of his abnormality. And of course, it's not just your side that will suffer damage this time.

But Grand Master himself would definitely be in the same difficult situation as you. You wouldn't want something like that to happen, would you?"

"...You dare to threaten me?!"

Jiang Cheng accidentally took out the surname Zidian that was in his hand out of anger at the woman in front of him. But because the person in front of him was a woman and the daughter of his friend Mother, he could only hold back his anger. Then he put the Zhidian surname back into its original place. He didn't even dare to protect the person he loved from the woman in front of him.

And like this, how could he protect the one he loved from the entire world? Why, why am I so weak!

How dare this woman threaten me! Lady Mei Li was not as good as she showed others. She and the matchmaker really are a perfect match!

“Ah...in the beginning I didn't hate you at all. There is no doubt about the qualities you have shown. Until I saw the essence that you had shown through both your words and actions. What a serpent in the form of a sweet little lady. Heh, I applaud such a performance.

I have never liked any performance as much as this one. It was such a performance that I have to salute you!”

Jiang Cheng couldn't laugh, couldn't cry in the face of Lady Mei Li's amazing performance. The one who would soon be decorated into his family. Even though he knew her true nature, he still couldn't do anything. No matter which path he chose, every path would have negative consequences for Lan Xichen.

So what can he do like this?

“Ah, no matter how much you hate me, you still can't do anything to me! So…now I am myself and am happy.”

A smile that's like that person This smile again No matter what, this lady and Lan Xichen were different people. Plus their personalities are as different as the sky and the abyss like this. I can't act like she's the same person as that person just because of the same smile. Absolutely not!

"Sir"

Lan Wangji followed Lan Xicheng's gaze until he stumbled upon a very familiar person. before turning around and asking his older brother with concern

"Is it good or not?"

“Oh, that's good. That woman...doesn't she seem suitable for Venerable Jiang...?”

Lan Xichen suddenly stopped talking. Lan Wangji, who was standing beside him, looked at his elder silently before seeing the water that had overflowed around the corners of his eyes slowly and silently flowing down.

"...Let's go back to Yun Shen Bu Zhi Chu, Wang Ji."

Lan Wangji nodded before watching as Shi Zhui and Jing Yi came out of the store and followed Lan Xichen back to Yunshen Pu Zhiqu. Even though he was worried about his older brother, But it all depends on his elder brother's decision. Because it is a path that they must choose for themselves.

Guard Yu (17:00-18:59) The Jiang family of Yun Meng, although at this time was lacking a head, it was no longer a problem. The four lives gathered together to eat for a short time. Fu Ren of the Jiang family suddenly spoke about the wedding of his only son Jiang Cheng and his friend's daughter, Mei Li.

And he didn't forget to silently peek at his only son Jiang Cheng's reaction.

"Jiang Cheng, tomorrow I'm going to marry Mei Li into the family. What do you think?"

Seriously

The chopsticks in Jiang Cheng's hand fell off and fell under the table as soon as he heard his mother's words. Wei Wuxian, who was sitting nearby, picked it up and gave it to Jiang Cheng before replacing it with a new one and clutching his hand encouragingly. Jiang Cheng slowly looked at Wei WuXian before clenching his elder brother's hand like he was helpless.

And need a lot of encouragement to get through this. Because he had no idea that his mother would marry her so quickly. Wei Wuxian tightened his grip on Jiang Cheng, hinting at him to finally say what he wanted to say. If he continued like this, he would definitely not be happy for the rest of this couple's life.

"Mother, I don't want to marry her."

Jiang Cheng decided to speak with determination. But he still held Wei Wuxian's hand and didn't let go, as if he was searching for an anchor.

“If you don't like Miss Mei Li, tell her. Mother will be able to say no to her properly."

“I…” Jiang Cheng was silent for a while before deciding to speak.

“That woman is a vicious woman. I, I don't want her to become the next Huyin here, and I...I already have someone I love.”

"Do you already have someone you love? You never told me about this. Do you still see me as your mother?!”

"Mother, I still see you as my mother."

"And who is that lady?"

Even though Mother answered normally, he could feel something unusual coming after he told him who he loved, but if he didn't say it right now, he wouldn't have a chance. Say it again and nothing will change, so his decision to say it this time will determine his entire life and this port he loves.

"...No, the person I love isn't any lady of the house, but she is."

Jiang Cheng wanted to say it with determination and determination, but when he had to say it in front of his own mother, he couldn't do as he wanted. The most important words couldn't be said as desired.

“Lan Xichen...Patriarch grandson, please.”

Phlaeng!

“What do you say, Jiang Cheng!!”

The teacup currently in Hu Yin's hand was thrown and hit the ground. Until there was a loud noise that caused Jiang Cheng nearby to be shocked by the scene in front of him, unable to prepare himself in time. The teacup that was thrown on the ground was only inches away from Jiang Cheng. Senior Brother and Wei Wuxian saw the scene in front of them and were equally shocked, but when they both regained their composure, they immediately came and dragged Jiang Cheng away from there. and pushed him to the back of the two instead

“Mother, calm down first. Please listen to Jiang Cheng first.”

“Jiang Yanli Wei Wuxian, get out! Before I slam Zhidian on you all for that kid!!”

"My mother..."

“Fu Ren, don't do it to Jiang Cheng. If you smite him, smite me instead of him.”

"good! If you all saw favor with that child, then I wouldn't have to hold back anything!! Capture Jiang Yanli and Jiang Cheng. Let Jiang Cheng look at it with his own two eyes, he will know how much suffering his words will cause to the people in the palace. Drag Wei Wuxian in front of me!”

fitly!!

"No, Mother!"

Wei WuXian was in front of him to prevent him from coming in and getting hit by Zidian. He both forbids and asks, but the mother doesn't seem to listen.

v'

He's even a little bit. It was as if his voice didn't exist and was now worthless.

Jiang Cheng impatiently shook off the person holding him. before running and stopping in front of the pair while saying the words that made him feel the weakest through tears

Wei WuXian saw Jiang Cheng running towards him and immediately grabbed Jiang Cheng and hugged him. In order to prevent Jiang Cheng from being hit by another clan. Jiang Cheng saw this and felt extremely guilty and regretful. He really shouldn't have said it like that. If he had obeyed so easily, this incident would not have happened. Wei Wuxian didn't have to get hurt because of him like this.

"That's enough, Mother! I give in! I surrender to you everything!! I will marry Mei Li as you wish, so stop beating Wei Wuxian!!”

Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Jiang Clan's Furen stopped Zidian, and the body that was hugging him flowed down into his lap as well.

“Wei WuXian! Do you hear me or not? Wei Wuxian! Then why are you all just standing there? Go prepare the medicine! Or do we have to wait for Wei Wuxian to die here? If anything happens to Wei Wuxian, I will send those of you here after him!!”

Plenty!

“Jiang Cheng, this is for your thoughtless words.”

Jiang Cheng turned around following the force of his mother's slap. He didn't look at his mother and didn't respond at all, only gritted his teeth in pain.

“Will Jiang Cheng.”

"I...I'm sorry."

Jiang Cheng tearfully apologized to Wei Wuxian, he couldn't deny his mother. Can't resist. He had told her the true nature he had encountered, but he still couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't do anything! You can only...accept your own destiny that your mother has decreed for you.

A life he couldn't choose like this. How hopeless.

The senior disciple who was being held back by the servants had no strength to struggle. Tears flowed down her cheeks with no signs of stopping easily. She looked at her two brothers in pain, unable to help them in the slightest. Especially Jiang Cheng, from now on he will be unhappy for the rest of his life.

“I will postpone it for you! So in two days you will have to marry Lady Mei Li. In order for her to become a Fu Ren into the Jiang family, remember this, Jiang Cheng!”

He didn't answer a single word. Right now, all he could do was hold back the tears that were pouring out, which was enough to swallow. For him now, he could only accept everything.

Finally, when I'm honest (09:00-10:59) On the morning of the event, he carried his lifeless body out of the dressing room as if his world had collapsed...forever.

"Jiang Cheng"

Wei WuXian and Elder walked towards the room he was in before holding hands and hugging him. Only Senior Brother and Wei Wuxian understood him the most at this time.

Just a moment.

"My aunt, you look the best!"

"...So?"

Jiang Cheng gave a feather-light smile to his only grandson, who smiled happily at him.

“Jiang Cheng, there is someone who wants to meet with you.”

“Meet me, who is Wei Wuxian?”

"Grandfather of Gusu"

Jiang Cheng heard the familiar name and was speechless for a moment before telling Wei Wuxian, who was beside him with an embarrassed expression.

"...Let him come in."

Jiang Cheng finished speaking, and the three people in the room left before being replaced by Lan Xichen, Grand Master Lan of Gu Su.

"Respect to the grandchild Do you want to meet me?”

“Yes, I have something to tell you. It's not important to you right now. But I want to tell you.”

"Trivia But you still want to tell me? What's the matter?"

“I know this time is probably not appropriate. But if I hadn't told you I'll never be able to tell you again. 'I love you, Wan Yin.' This is the only thing I want you to know. And I hope that you will not be more angry or hate me than I already am.”

All at once

Jiang Cheng finished hearing that sentence and immediately sat down on the ground. before being helped up by the person in front of him to sit on a nearby chair.

“Sir...why didn't you tell me sooner? Tell me before I can dress Lady Mei Li as a furen in a day or two. Why...why did you just come and tell me now? Lan Xichen, no, Lan Huan! Why didn't you tell me sooner! Hee hee...why are you so mean to me? Why, why?"

Jiang Cheng let the tears fall without any further concern. No matter who came in and saw him in this state. He didn't care about it anymore! But the whole time his tears were flowing, the person in front of him was constantly wiping the tears from his face without stopping. I want to push it away.

But right now he didn't have the energy to do anything. Just crying is enough.

"...I'm sorry."

“Excuse me? If you had told me sooner, I might not have hesitated and wouldn't have married Lady Mei Li. Huh, Lan Huan, you are so cruel! Why don't we fight together?!”

"I know..."

"You know!"

Jiang Cheng immediately brushed off the person in front of him, wiped away his own tears roughly, and stared at the person in front of him, feeling extremely dissatisfied with the answer.

“I know, but don't forget that you still have to become the head of the Jiang Clan, so...your side is not mine, and you chose to marry Lady Mei Li because you yourself knew. Is it right? That my side is not yours either."

It was as if his own thoughts were being known. Jiang Cheng cried again when he realized that the person in front of him's thoughts were almost identical to his own. But for Jiang Cheng to hear it from the mouth of the person in front of him was not at all what he expected. It hurts for me to hear those words come out of your mouth.

“And so that nothing remains in my heart any longer. So I have come to tell you how I feel.”

"You...how selfish."

“Yes, I see myself as you say, without fault. I know that better than anyone. Especially if it's about you. And do you have anything you want to tell me?”

Jiang Cheng didn't say a word. He just lowered his head and stared at the ground. Lan Xichen realized that he had been in for too long and was about to leave but had not even taken half a step and stopped his steps. Then he turned to Jiang Cheng to hear what he was saying.

“I...huh, I love Lan Huan. I have always loved you. Even though I can't stand next to you But I still can't forget you. You will always remain in my heart. From now on and forever."

Lan Xichen walked over and wiped Jiang Cheng's tears again before hugging and comforting the person in front of him. The more I saw the person in front of me crying, the harder it became. The more he felt pain, the more he felt. When two people love each other but cannot possess each other. Is it really this...heartbreaking?
