Chapter 299: Chapter 289 Fate Twists People

The hobby of collecting hairpins was similar to picking up that little girl’s things.

He knew the little girl would chase after him and watch him whenever she had the chance, but he didn’t dare have any interaction with her because he didn’t know if, once his mother found out he was playing with her, it would be her or him who would be "torn apart." If it were him, he wouldn’t be afraid, but sometimes he had dreams where the dog that was beaten to death lay there on the ground, blood flowing, and it was her instead...

How could he dare to pay her any attention?

He only secretly and intentionally left behind some things for her to pick up, just as he would pick up her things as well.

Was it also stemming from the rebellious thrill at the time?

That was all it could be.

But who could have foreseen that twenty years later, she would appear before him again, with that genuine smile of an old friend reuniting, calling him "Xiao Xu."

Such a pure and unguarded smile, it had been a long time since anyone called him "Xiao Xu." Could he say he was captivated at first sight? However, he couldn’t, he couldn’t get close to her, nor could he let her come close, because it was destined to have no outcome, his mother would never agree, not only would she disapprove, she would harm, after all, there was enmity between them over her father’s death...

Rather than letting her get hurt in the end, it was better not to start.

So he treated her badly in various ways, reprimanding, mocking, and behaving erratically, just hoping to drive her as far away from him as possible, yet she foolishly insisted on treating him as a benefactor, wanting to get close to him, even bringing him rice dumplings...

Did she know that each time he faced her but had to push her away, his heart felt sour and astringent? Su Rongxing told him to throw the rice dumplings away, and he did so without hesitation, in that moment he saw her disappointment and sadness, but no one would know his heart’s tearful sorrow...

This time, he finally drove her away, as he wished, but his heart felt even more sorrowful, his mood probably became more erratic, too, right? Seeing her no longer cling to him made him angry, seeing her being affectionate with Hao Ren made him angry, in short, as long as she existed, he would be irritable and angry without reason, he didn’t know if he was mad at her or at himself...

However, he knew clearly that this was the best ending, so no matter how angry or sad he got, he tried to restrain himself, telling himself, "Just like this, she will meet someone better, who will cherish and treasure her, she will have a warm family to accept and protect her..."

But who knew? Fate played tricks, she, like a bright moon, eventually shone into the deepest part of his heart, warming and illuminating his entire world completely...

The hairpins in the box had been entirely poured out by him, covering a whole coffee table, his twenty years, naturally full, he even still remembered where each hairpin was bought.

He fiddled with them one by one, just like in those twenty years, from a young boy to an adult man, hiding in his little world during many deep nights, holding onto his small secrets, arranging these hairpins into various words: "Little Butterfly, keep going. Little Butterfly, how are you? Little Butterfly, you’re a little fool..." Then he would prop his chin, appreciating each of his little joys.

Gradually, the hairpins on the coffee table were arranged by him into a line of words, a line in English, "Sorry, I love you."

He wanted to apologize to her, but he feared she wouldn’t even answer his call now...

A sudden idea struck him, he took a picture of the line and sent it to her.

She didn’t reply.

Did she see it? Amidst his anxiety, he felt he wasn’t sincere enough, so he continued to leave her messages, still the same line, "Even if the bright moon shines on ditches, my heart remains toward the bright moon. Little Butterfly, you will forever be my moonlight."
