Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“Mo Liuxi, I’ve even thought of taking my own life.” Shi Xiang raised his right wrist. There were still scars on it. “I’ve cut it before, but I didn’t die.”

Mo Liuxi fell into a silence.

He was a man, and he knew how much it would hurt.

To be honest, if he had been toyed with in front of Yan Su…

“I hope you don’t doubt Yan Su,” Shi Xiang said bitterly. “She’s a good person. She feels sorry for me. In fact, I brought this upon myself. She doesn’t need to feel guilty towards me. Mo Liuxi, Susu doesn’t love me. I can feel it.”

In the afternoon, when she came to persuade me, she said that it was because I was her classmate and she didn’t want to see me ending up like this. She also said that if I didn’t listen to her, she wouldn’t have any other choice. She still had a husband and a child, and she still had to go back to attend the award ceremony, to attend the wedding tomorrow, but on the way back… no one expected that such an accident would happen.”

Mo Liuxi finally felt relieved.

But he did not sympathize with Shi Xiang because in his eyes, what he had done in the past was too unmanly.

“Shi Xiang, I don’t care about your matters. Of course, I also need to thank you for protecting my girlfriend last year. But don’t forget that it was all because of you.”

After a long while, Mo Liuxi’s face darkened. “I only care about my wife. I don’t need to tell you. I think you already know what the reporters said, and the police. You definitely can’t cover up the kidnapping.”

“I’ll explain it to the police,” Shi Xiang suddenly said. “At the same time, I’ll publicly explain the whole story.”

Yan Su and Mo Liuxi were both shocked.

“Because I want to call the police. I want to report that Yan Su was kidnapped last year and that I was hurt.” Shi Xiang clenched his fists. “I have all the evidences from last year. But I didn’t dare to say anything to protect my pride, and I didn’t dare to make a big deal out of it.”

“But…Your video is in Jin Youlan’s hands,” Yan Su reminded in a low voice. “Aren’t you afraid of it being released?”

“Susu, I was the one who died once in the sea. I’m not afraid of anything anymore,” Shi Xiang said with a self-deprecating smile, “You’re right. I shouldn’t have destroyed myself to deal with this woman. Everyone should follow the path of the law. When I went to save Jin Youlan after I fell into the sea, I suddenly understood. It’s actually very easy to kill someone. With a knife, everything is settled. If I don’t extend my hand to her, she’ll die. But I have to bear the crime of murder forever. I’m not God, and I don’t have the right to decide the life and death of others.”

Yan Su heaved a sigh of relief.

For Shi Xiang to be able to walk out of that painful past, it was probably the best ending for everyone.

Mo Liuxi’s tightly knitted brows also relaxed, “It’s good that you can think like that. Shi Xiang, the meaning of the word ‘man’ doesn’t disappear just because someone has done something to you. It depends on your actions and responsibilities. Just like what you did to Susu in the past, I don’t think you’re a man. But now you are. This woman has also hurt Susu. I’ll try my best to gather other evidence for you so that she can spend the rest of her life in prison.”

Shi Xiang was taken aback. After a while, he lowered his head and extended his hand. “Thank you.”

Mo Liuxi shook his hand indifferently, “I’ve already said that I’m doing this for my wife. I only have one request. Shi Xiang, please stay away from Susu in the future. I really care about your existence. It’s impossible for us to become friends. I don’t like you because you’re Susu’s first love. I’m very narrow-minded, do you understand?”
