I Once Loved You Humbly - C221
“Don’t say that! How can no one care about you?! Grandfather, Grandmother, Uncle, and I, we are all your family, and we all care about you! ”
“Sis, I’m really, really, really fond of her …” Ye Xing looked at me and felt like he was about to cry. I didn’t doubt in the slightest how much he liked Qin Sang.
“The two of us have known each other since we were very young, and I always felt that we were destined to be together. She was cold since childhood, and didn’t like to talk, and since she had no friends, girls wouldn’t love to be with her. Men always bullied her, and at that time, I just liked to pester her.
I know, it’s not that she doesn’t want to get involved with others, it’s because she’s afraid, it’s because she doesn’t dare … “Don’t look at how powerful she is, but she was just pretending. She told me that she had always been lonely, and now that I think about it, I probably liked her since then.”
He gestured to me, “At that time, she… “She’s just that big, that’s all …”
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that he was drunk. I thought that he had a good tolerance for alcohol, but who would’ve thought that just two bottles of wine was enough to bring him down.
“Sis, just let me drink a little more, just a little more … “I feel really uncomfortable inside …” he begged me.
“No matter how uncomfortable it is, I can’t let you drink anymore. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain myself to uncle!”
“Sis, I really just want to vent. I really …” I feel so bad, you know … I’ve known her for fifteen years, I’ve always liked her, I had to, I thought… “She’s the same as me …”
“What exactly happened between you two?” I had just heard him mention another “he,” and I was curious to know who this “he” was.
“This is a long story …”
As he spoke, he leaned forward on the table.
“I have always been together with her, no … To be more accurate, I’ve been following behind her.
I’ve been following her for years, but she’s still not too hot or cold for me … Soon we were all grown up, and as I reached puberty I began to realize that it wasn’t just habit that made me keep following her around like this. I slowly realized that she was different from the other girls.
My original plan was to express my feelings for her in front of everyone on the day of the coming of age ceremony, but my plan couldn’t keep up with the changes. A pair of twin brothers suddenly appeared beside us.
It was the child of a friend of her mother’s. The friend was overseas all year round, but she wanted the child to be educated in the country more, so she sent the child back to live with her.
At that time, I thought we were all friends … ”
Ye Xing said while sneering, “I never would have thought that the biggest obstacle between her and I would actually be our best friend at the time.”
“What happened?” I pressed on.
“When I was sixteen, the younger brother of the twins said that he wanted to go see the sea. Qin Sang also wanted to go, but I didn’t trust her, so I followed them.
But who knew that after we set up our tents, the ocean water would surge, and Qin Sang’s tent would be washed into the ocean!
At that time, the waves were very rough, and we didn’t have any rescue tools by our side, so we could only watch helplessly as her tent was pushed far away …
The younger brother of the twins didn’t know how to swim, and the two of us were hit by a violent wave and returned back to the shore. Only my brother swam to Qin Sang’s side, but the wave was too big for my brother to swim to.
“When the sea rescue team arrived, it was already daybreak. The twin brother’s corpse was washed onto the shore …”
Ye Xing said as he painfully closed his eyes, “I know, this is what we owe them. However, such a thing happened at that time, no one could have predicted it …”
I patted him on the shoulder.
“Later …” The younger twin was taken away by his parents, and the two families no longer had any contact with each other.
Qin Sang became more taciturn. She pushed all the blame onto herself, and she stayed in her room all day long. Everyone in her family were worried that if this went on, she would get depressed and get sick, so I went to find her every day …
It took her three years before she finally managed to walk out of the shadows. On the day of her coming of age ceremony, I confessed. She accepted me and the two of us ended up together …
That period of time was my happiest period, but who knew that the period of happiness was always short … At the age of twenty, my twin brother returned from abroad. He asked her to meet him at his place, and when she returned, he broke up with me … ”
“Will Qin Sang… Is there something hard to say? ”
“I also feel that this matter is very strange! So I asked her, I told her that no matter what happened, it was fine for the two of us to face it together, but do you know what she told me?!
She told me not to waste my efforts anymore. All these years, she has never really liked me! ”
“You believe it?”
“Of course I don’t believe it!” Ye Xing retorted: “I understand her, she never forced herself to do anything because of anything. If she really doesn’t like me, then she definitely won’t be with me! At my questioning, I knew that she had met with her brother, but she refused to say what had happened after they had met.
“She broke up with me and the news of her engagement with him spread …”
“Sis, do you know …” The entire world knows that the two are engaged, and I am the only one who knows. Even the engagement invitation did not come to her mind to send it to me! ”
I quietly loosened the remaining wine bottle and placed it in front of him. “On the eve of their engagement, I went to find her. I asked her why she had done all of this. She told me that she likes him and that some things are fated …”
It was fated to be bullsh * t! I don’t believe a single punctuation mark of what she said! I told her I could take you away as soon as you wanted, but she refused and told me never to bother her again! ”
Ye Xing said as he held onto the bottle of wine and continuously gulped down a few mouthfuls. “For the past few years, I have been trying out what I should do in order to completely forget about her.
He pointed at his chest. “Every time I want to start a new relationship, I can’t do anything about her.”
I didn’t know how to comfort him. Actually, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that he wasn’t a unrequited love, and Qin Sang liked him as well.
“Do you know what’s the happiest thing about me?” He held the bottle of wine and said with a smile, “I am the one who knew that she still didn’t get engaged to him in the end … Sis, tell me … Does this mean that I still have a chance with her?
I really want to go back to when I was a kid… “Take that little girl away and hide her …”
As he spoke, he smirked as he drank all the wine in the bottle. Then, he collapsed onto the sofa and stopped moving.
He’s broken into pieces …
Looking at him, I sighed.
After all that had happened, his heart must have been in pain. Today, just let him vent his emotions.
Looking at him who was lying on the ground, I opened my phone and sent a message to Qin Sang.
Although I know that it is impossible to force these kinds of emotions to come, after all, Ye Xing is my little brother, I cannot just watch as he continues to suffer.
I have invited Qin Sang here, if she really has feelings for Ye Xing, seeing him in such a painful and tormenting state, she will definitely be unable to bear it.
She came as promised, but when she saw Ye Xing who was unconscious on the sofa, she immediately walked over, and even forgot to greet me.
“Ye Xing, Ye Xing… Wake up… “Why are you drinking so much …” Qin Sang frowned, but the people of the emperor were already dead asleep, so they couldn’t give her any response.
“His heart is in a mess right now. If he’s drunk, it might be a good thing for him. Let him have a good rest.”
Qin Sang froze, then raised his head and looked at me apologetically.
“Sister Su Cha, I’m sorry … “I …”
“Ye Xing is such a nuisance, the moment he heard you were looking for me at my house, he immediately rushed over before even letting me finish talking. But when he came, he had already left, and his heart was in pain, so he insisted on pulling me here to drink, yet ended up like this …”
I sighed, “After getting drunk, he dragged me and talked about your past matters for a long time. Qin Sang, logically speaking, I shouldn’t meddle in your affairs, but I still couldn’t help but ask, just what kind of feeling do you have towards him?”
