Chapter 138: 141, His world collapsed with a loud bang

That person, is Qin Zixiao.

With the school anniversary celebrated once every decade, he also accepted an invitation to come this time.

However, amidst the bustling crowd and the clamor of voices, he... sought a moment of tranquility.

Unconsciously, his feet led him here.

On his way, he hadn’t seen a single soul, but as he walked in, he saw An Xiaoyu sitting there under the corridor, leaning against a pillar... as if she had fallen asleep.

In that instant, his heart inexplicably trembled, and without knowing whether it was subconscious or unintentional, his steps became very light, as if afraid to disturb her.

How long... had it been since he last spent such a quiet moment alone with her?

Once, the Purple Wisteria vines had witnessed every little detail between the two of them... those were the most beautiful times of their youth.

Yet, ever since she returned from M country, it was as if she had become a different person; she and he... seemed to be drifting further apart.

And now, every time he saw her, his heart was torn with pain.

Qin Zixiao took a seat beside An Xiaoyu, his movements very gentle; his gaze remained fixed on her face, but she showed no reaction, seemingly asleep.

Qin Zixiao just tilted his head, quietly watching An Xiaoyu.

Sunlight filtered through the sparse Purple Wisteria leaves, casting a serene and peaceful aura over An Xiaoyu, creating a scene so tranquil that one would not bear to break it, nor bear to wake her.

Yet, deep within his heart... there seemed to be a caged beast struggling, longing to break free from its prison, wanting to shatter the seemingly calm atmosphere before him at all costs...

The girl before him had transformed from that fragile yet stubborn young girl into a proud and independent young woman...

Time had washed away the naivety from her face, endowing her with more wisdom and beauty.

If he had once treated her like a little sister, now... he simply wasn’t sure anymore.

When had his feelings for her... begun to change?

Seeing her so intimate with another man, a strange emotion emerged from the depths of his heart, which he later understood to be unwillingness, jealousy, and... anger!

Over the years, he had watched her grow up, protecting her, yet she blossomed in the presence of other men... How could he willingly accept it? How could he easily let go?

And now, she was right in front of him...

Qin Zixiao suddenly felt as if he was a young man who had just fallen in love, whose heart had completely lost its rhythm, unable to control itself.

Slowly lowering his head, he moved closer to her, bit by bit, yet also fearing he might disturb her sweet dream.

Thus, his lips lightly touched An Xiaoyu’s cheek. The kiss, as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, was almost as if it hadn’t made contact at all.

Yet that faint touch made Qin Zixiao’s heart suddenly ache to the point of being unbearable.

Why couldn’t he openly hold her in his arms and then kiss her passionately without any inhibition?

Because he couldn’t...

The day after tomorrow, he was to be engaged!

Engaged! Engaged to Li Xin!

Yet in that moment, so much unwillingness burgeoned in his heart!

Li Xin, with her impeccable family background and appearance, was seen as the perfect choice in the eyes of his parents.

But at first, he had resisted, because he didn’t want his marriage to be built on interests.

Why should he sacrifice his own marriage for the benefit of the family?

However, all resistance became feeble after a bout of drunkenness.

Waking up with a hangover that day, he found Li Xin sleeping beside him, and his world... collapsed thunderously.
