Chapter 1315 - 255: Love Rivals Gather, a Table of Mahjong (Part 4)
Fu Bai’s mouth twitched, returning to his normal self in less than three seconds and immediately showing his true colors.
Pei Qinghan said indifferently, "Just do as he said."
Fu Bai nodded and promptly made a call to relay instructions.
Ning Zihuan suddenly leaned close to him, Pei Qinghan frowned slightly and subtly distanced himself.
"Pei, although we both find each other irritating, there’s a more important conflict at hand now. I can temporarily join forces with you. Once we’ve forced Yan Song out, we can rely on our abilities to contend again. What do you think?" Ning Zihuan said with a sly look reminiscent of the big bad wolf enticing Little Red Riding Hood.
Pei Qinghan turned to look at him. The youth had delicate features, and if one overlooked the intense hostility in his eyes, he was undoubtedly a pure and elegant young man.
Pei Qinghan knew the young man before him was always a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a fierce young wolf. One day, when he grows up, he’ll use his sharp fangs to tear enemies to pieces.
"If I am not that possibility, then you certainly are not either. Rather than racking your brains, consider how to strengthen yourself to protect those you wish to protect." Pei Qinghan spoke lightly, his gaze shifting to the rainy night outside the car window.
These words, rather than being for Ning Zihuan, were more for himself.
Ning Zihuan instantly flew into a rage, yet contained his outburst, "How would you know it’s impossible without trying? I only know that if I want something, I will strive to get it, even if it costs my life, I’m willing to pay the price." The youth’s eyes sparkled with a mix of madness and determination as he said this.
Pei Qinghan was internally shaken by these words, but outwardly remained calm, even allowing a mocking smile to appear on his lips.
He was laughing at the other’s overestimation, yet also at his own self-deception.
"Pei Qinghan, I once thought highly of you, but now I find you pathetic; a person who doesn’t even know what he wants, what’s the meaning of your existence? Forget it, why am I telling you this, ha..."
What was the meaning of his existence?
Once, he had asked himself this question. He had no answers, but when he knelt at the execution ground, when those dark gun barrels aimed at him, he thought of this question again.
From a brilliant life to such a disgraceful downfall, he never regretted it.
At that moment, he knew the entire meaning of his existence was solely for that person, nothing else.
His world needed no one’s understanding, nor any unnecessary pity.
"You’ll never know..." Pei Qinghan smiled slightly, under Ning Zihuan’s disdainful gaze, looking untroubled and carefree.
"Never know what?"
——
Xilan Lake is a tourist spot, as it’s close to the Capital City, visitors have always been coming in droves. It is soon to be planned as a tourist special zone, therefore housing prices have been steadily rising.
A two-story small villa nestles on the shores of Xilan Lake, with a small garden; the scenery is beautiful, serene, and cozy.
The car slowly pulled to a stop in front of the villa, the rain grew heavier, Fu Bai came over holding an umbrella while Ning Zihuan couldn’t wait to push open the car door and run down, rushing toward the military vehicle the next instant to pound on the door.
The next moment, the car door opened from inside, forcing Ning Zihuan to step back. Then the driver got down, took an umbrella from the trunk, and handed it to Yan Song.
Yan Song held the umbrella handle and used the tip to prod Ning Zihuan, coldly saying, "Get away."
"Yan Song, why are you acting so high and mighty, you’re just a military officer," Ning Zihuan said hatefully, wiping the rain off his face.
He most hated Yan Song’s superior attitude, really couldn’t understand what Yun Ya saw in him, and refused to admit he was simply jealous.
"Snap," the umbrella opened, Yan Song dragged Yun Ya onto his shoulder, holding her with one arm, took long strides off the vehicle with the umbrella shielding them from the rain.
In a dark green military uniform, dashing and handsome, the two bars and three-star epaulettes gleamed so brightly they nearly blinded Ning Zihuan.
"It’s nothing to be proud of, but such honor you’ll never achieve in your lifetime." Having finished speaking, he seemed unwilling to spare Ning Zihuan another glance, hurriedly walking toward the villa with the umbrella.
Ning Zihuan clenched his fists then suddenly kicked the car door, the pain making him gasp, cursing, "Yan Song, wait and see, someday I’ll take you down."
Yan Song’s pace did not falter, departing without looking back.
Pei Qinghan got off the car, witnessing the scene, his gaze faintly swept over Yun Ya, she was resting on Yan Song’s shoulder, the rain intensified yet didn’t disturb her sleep at all.
