Chapter 137: Chapter 137: His Love Is a Heavy Burden

Qin Muni put down her teacup and smiled softly. She tilted her head to look at the snowflakes outside the window, swirling and falling like willow catkins, and couldn’t help but sigh, "It’s been so many years."

"Do you still remember Zi Ji? You always liked to sneak snow into his coat’s hood and then put the hood on his head."

Back in college, Qin Muni always appeared gentle and quiet in front of others, but in front of her friends, she was like an untamed wild horse, so reckless and willful that it left them in tears and laughter.

"Of course I remember, but it’s been a long time since we last got in touch. How is he?"

"Well, he’s doing well. He took over his father’s company in A City and got married two years ago. Now, he’s a happy father."

Qin Muni remembered indeed receiving an invitation from Zhao Ziji two years ago, but since it was close to Grandma Xu’s birthday, she didn’t attend, only sending Zhao Ziji a wedding gift.

"Tsk tsk, time sure is a butcher’s knife. I never thought Zi Ji would be a father now."

Yuan Chengmo smiled faintly and didn’t reply. After a brief silence, he lightly parted his thin lips, "Do you remember how he confessed to you back then, and you deliberately distanced yourself from him?"

Qin Muni nodded. At that time, the relationships between her, Yuan Chengmo, and Zhao Ziji were really close, but because of Zhao Ziji’s confession, Qin Muni intentionally distanced herself from Zhao Ziji, causing their relationship to gradually cool.

"Do you regret it?"

Qin Muni slowly turned her gaze to Yuan Chengmo, her eyes serene and tranquil like a deep valley, holding a touch of calmness and softness.

She shook her head and replied, "I don’t regret it because I knew clearly what I wanted at the time. If I didn’t directly reject Zi Ji, it would have been more cruel to him."

Yuan Chengmo gazed deeply into Qin Muni’s eyes, which were as profound as the night, and a rare persistence and unshakeable determination emerged within them.

He said, "Muni, liking you is his right."

Qin Muni retorted, "But his feelings for me are a heavy burden."

"What about now, if someone who likes you appears, would you try to accept it?"

"I don’t know." Qin Muni averted her gaze.

Outside, the overwhelming snow surged down, blanketing every corner of the city.

"Munni, forget Xu Yisen."

Yuan Chengmo’s deep voice trembled slightly as he gazed at Qin Muni, a thin mist suddenly welling up in his eyes.

Within those misty black eyes, a faint plea and deep affection flowed.

Staring at the snowy scene outside the window, Qin Muni completely missed the genuine emotions on his face.

She responded softly, "Senior, forgetting is easier said than done."

Yuan Chengmo withdrew his gaze, lowering his eyes slightly, and reached for his teacup, drinking down the tea in one gulp. The bitter taste of the tea gradually spread from his mouth to his heart.

Indeed, easier said than done... During those three years abroad, he restrained himself from reaching out to her, warning himself to forget her.

However, three years of effort ultimately couldn’t defeat the joy that overwhelmed him when he found out she was divorced.

Three years of enduring, and in the end, because he couldn’t suppress his longing for her, he flew back to the country to stand in front of her once more.

The room suddenly fell into silence, with only the occasional roar of the cold wind outside the window reaching their ears.

Who knows how long they had both been dazed at the snowy view outside when Qin Muni came back to her senses and said to Yuan Chengmo, "Senior, rest early. There are clean toiletries and towels in the bathroom."

Yuan Chengmo nodded, "Yes, rest early."
