Chapter 21: Bubbles Are Fragile

  What is remembered will never be forgotten. I guard the radiant fairy tale like a bubble, happiness has just begun, but sorrow has already crept in.

  A few meters

  Han Yue let out a sigh and walked out of the bathroom, only to find that there was no one in the living room. The study seemed to have someone talking in hushed tones, Han Yue had originally wanted to talk to Xing about what happened next, but as he approached the study, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he tiptoed closer to the study, hiding behind the door to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.

  "What's his name again?"

  "I was outside the door at the time and didn't hear it, maybe it wasn't mentioned."

  "Yexue has fallen in love with someone else? Hmm, I really didn't expect that brother would lose to someone else, I'm a bit curious who that person is."

  "Alright, let's just drop it."

  "It doesn't matter, the witch's bath time is always long. Knowing more about it will also be good for preparing for what might happen in the future."

  A chill ran down her spine as she stumbled and hastily retreated back into the bathroom, holding onto the wall for support.

  Ye Xue? Why is it like this?! Does brother's matter have anything to do with them? Why must it be them! The friends I acknowledged, the friends I protected, in the end... Ha, what a joke. Why would the target I've been searching for so long be them, heaven really does play tricks on people. No way, it must be a misunderstanding, it must be a mistake, how can it be like this? No way... Why is it like this, when I was about to give up pursuing the matter, why did you let her know?!

  "Hey, Han Yue, calm down!"

  How can I be calm? You tell me how to be calm.

  Are you really heartbroken?

  Do you think I shouldn't be sad, should I feel happy instead?!

  I'm not heartbroken, I just think you shouldn't be heartbroken either. All your heartbreaks are mine too.

  Because you've always been concerned about your brother's affairs from start to finish, and I want a complete life, I want us all to have a normal life!

  (Han Yue, you're very greedy.)

  The showerhead sprayed down hot water, and Han Yue didn't know if she had cried under the water. She thought she shouldn't have cried, because she couldn't, because it wasn't worth it.

  For a long time, Han Yue came out of the bathroom, wiping her hair with a towel. She turned her face sideways, and the towel covered her expression.

  "Witch, come here." Dad and mom are also there, Jian Xing sits on the sofa and waves at her.

  Jian Xing took the towel from Han Yue's hand and gently helped her wipe her hair dry, strand by strand. Han Yue kept her eyes downcast, afraid that if she looked up, she would reveal the emotions still hidden deep within her heart.

  "When did you become so restrained with me, wasn't it always like this before?" Jian Xing looked at her and slowed down his movements, "Have a boyfriend?" Still in an inquiring tone.

  Boyfriend? Han Yue reacted, suddenly snatching the towel from Han Xing's hand: "Who did you say?"

  "Isn't it outside?" Jian Xing said lightly, "Why don't you let him in?"

  Her heart inexplicably let out a sigh of relief. Han Yue glanced at the people behind Jian Xing, they all showed innocent expressions and shrugged to indicate their helplessness.

  "Never mind him." Han Yue's tone was icy, tossing a wooden comb to Jian Xing. She leaned back on the sofa with her head half-raised and eyes closed, "How could I let an outsider in? You... hey! Comb properly, do you think my hair is straw or something, using so much force?"

  "Uh, I'm used to it now, and it's actually easier to comb than my original curly hair." Jian Xing originally was just explaining, but after saying this sentence, his hand holding the comb stopped for a long time.

  "You're so big and still like this, not serious at all." Qiu Jin said with a smile, muttering and scolding. Han Mu sat beside him, preparing to light a cigarette, but was shot back by Qiu Jin's glance.

  "You really don't plan to let him in, others have come from afar. Don't worry about me, I'm tired and should go back to my room to rest." Jian Xing sat beside Han Yue, his words laced with fatigue.

  "Xiao Yue, are those people outside your friends? Why don't you let others come in, it's not good this way." Han Mu said after a moment of silence.

  "Young man, don't be rude, go and invite him in." Qiu Jin smiled and asked again, "Boyfriend?"

  "No!" Han Yue slapped Jian Xing's hand, "Don't mind him, mom, if you let him in, my brother will have to leave, how can that be good?" That Su Yi Tian still hadn't returned.

  "What's the point of saying anything if it can't even keep someone from spending a night outside?"

  "Mom, is the room arrangement done?" Jian Xing stood up and walked upstairs.

  "Ready. Little Moon, let your friend in, your brother's room is empty—"

  "Mom!" Jian Xing turned around and interrupted the conversation downstairs while he was going upstairs.

  For a moment, he didn't notice and said it out without thinking. Qiu Jin apologized with a glance at Han Yue. This was something that couldn't be mentioned, and no outsider could enter Han Yang's room. Just looking at Han Yue's face sinking for an instant, he knew that the kid still hadn't let go.

  After a while, Han Yue stood up and said to Jian Xing who was standing on the stairs: "Xing, you sleep in Gege's room, Gu Ye and the others are still arranged in the guest room. I'll go call him in, it's decided like this."

  How can he sleep in Gege's room, anyone can but not Sui Tian! Han Yue pulled open the door, her eyes gradually souring. She had endured for a long time, everything was covered up very well.

  Witch.

  Han Yue's hand stiffened on the door handle.

  "I remember that my brother's painting album is with you, and he has a painting that fits the theme of our company's project very well. Can I borrow it? It's an ink wash painting with pavilions and towers."

  "Alright, I'll give it to you tomorrow morning." Han Yue didn't turn around, but she would always agree to Xing Ti's requests. She knew that Xing would take good care of the original manuscript.

  Jian Xing watched Han Yue open the door and leave, then lightly laughed and turned to go upstairs.

  Han Yue calmed down and walked to the side of the car. Through the window, he saw Su Yi Tian leaning against the seat, seemingly asleep. Han Yue didn't wake him up immediately, but instead looked at Su Yi Tian through the window.

  "Hey, isn't one of the reasons you're sad because of this person? Don't you dislike him?"

  He is actually a good person.

  (Oh, but it's none of your business whether it's good or bad.)

  Because you locked yourself up.

  Su Yi Tian suddenly opened her eyes. Unguarded eye contact, the time of eye contact was so long, it was only an instant, but it seemed like they were separated by a galaxy. Was he related to her? Was the person in front of her one of the targets she wanted to take revenge on? Han Yue suddenly turned around and faced away from him, tears suddenly falling down in big drops.

  Su Yi rolled down the car window and looked at Han Yue, who had suddenly turned around, and asked: "Is there something?" Seeing that Han Yue didn't respond, he got out of the car and hesitated for a moment before patting Han Yue's shoulder.

  Han Yue covered her eyes, trying to calm herself down. She needed to vent but she couldn't cry in front of him! But when she turned around and saw Su Yi Tian, the tears that had stopped flowing again couldn't help but fall.

  At that moment, Su Yi Tian's expression was very vivid, and for a brief moment, he looked like a child who had gotten into big trouble and didn't know what to do.

  Han Yue hastily covered her eyes, but tears still flowed from between her fingers. Han Yue forced a smile: "I... I just got sand in my eyes."

  Half a day without a response, Han Yue closed her eyes and couldn't see what expression Su Yitian had now, but she brought the words to him, whether he went in or not was up to him: "I see you haven't left yet, I'm here to invite you in."

  At this time, Su Yitian opened her hands covering her eyes. She stood there stiffly, not daring to open her eyes, the warmth of his fingers transmitted to her eyes, and she suddenly opened them, seeing Su Yitian leaning close to her, lowering his head to gently blow on her eyes, warm breath lingering between her eyebrows, Han Yue stared blankly at Su Tiantian with wide eyes.

  Just as a vehicle drove by, the car lights flashed, and Han Yue suddenly pushed Su Yitian away. Su Yitian just smiled faintly, turned around to lock the car and walked towards the villa: "I don't want others to say that I'm ungrateful."

  "Hey, I kind of understand why you're so heartbroken now."

  Do you really understand?

  (It's not very clear, but I can feel your emotional changes.)

  Are you warning me?

  (Yes, since he is an enemy, I hope you hate him even more. Do you understand what I mean?)

  I understand.
