Chapter 951: Chapter 933: I Just Want to Marry Huo Feng! (44)
In the past few days, Ye Xi has been deeply engulfed in regret and resentment...
He resents Xie Bing and his father’s indiscretions, resents those two villains who altered what was once a warm and beautiful life.
He resents the father who once seemed so kind and genial, yet was so filthy inside...
He resents everything that happened back then, especially hating his father!
But...
No one knows what he regrets the most in his heart...
He keeps thinking if, in those circumstances back then, if he hadn’t left, if he had stayed by his father’s side during the divorce, would he have been able to save the Pu Family?
He was selfish...
He was selfish at the time of his parents’ divorce.
He overheard the conversation between the lawyer and his father, where his father didn’t want him because of the company.
But later, during the negotiations between his father and mother, his mother still let him choose whom to stay with. And his father didn’t refuse...
At that time, he selfishly chose his mother.
He didn’t want to get entangled with the company, nor did he want to leave behind his mother and sister...
So, at that time, he chose his mother.
But now, he regrets it...
Yesterday, as he locked himself in the room, his mind was filled with ceaseless imaginations and reflections...
He kept thinking that if he had chosen his father back then...
Would all the debts after the company’s bankruptcy fall on him? Or would the scattered departments bear the burden on the Pu Family?
If that were the case, might he have been able to run away with Sangzhi, not selfishly evading responsibility, not leaving such a mess for the Pu Family...
Not letting Sangzhi and her mother drift aimlessly, not letting Sangzhi encounter Huo Feng, or rather, not letting feelings develop between Sangzhi and Huo Feng...
Perhaps then, his life wouldn’t be as smooth as it is now, but could he still have her?
The various seeds sown back then have led to the fruit of today...
Ye Xi feels ashamed towards the Pu Family, ashamed towards Sangzhi, and crumbling within his own heart.
There are so many things he wants to say, so many things he can’t let go of, many regrets, much helplessness...
He wants to speak out...
But there’s no one to listen.
No one can hear his feelings for Sangzhi.
Sangzhi is also unwilling to listen.
Ye Xi found himself drinking a lot without realizing...
He bought a bag of beer, 7 bottles...
And finished them all.
He reached into the bag, the rustling sounds in the dark, but all the bottles he found were empty.
He leaned forward, stretching his long arm to grope on the ground...
Intoxicated, his slightly swaying body tipped forward, unexpectedly collapsing onto something soft...
Pu Sangzhi was startled, "Brother Ye Xi?"
The room was too dark for Pu Sangzhi to clearly see the situation before her.
She heard sounds, guessing that it was probably Brother Ye Xi looking for beer.
Then, in the next moment, Ye Xi’s head fell onto her leg...
And then, he lay on the ground, his whole body heavy, weak, seemingly unable to move...
Pu Sangzhi gradually realized that the current situation was not very good.
But, she also realized there might be no more appropriate time than now... to make things clear with him.
So, she didn’t push Ye Xi away, only slightly bowed her head, her small hand gently stroking Ye Xi’s back, she opened her lips and said: "Brother Ye Xi. Actually, not long ago, I learned about your feelings for me..."
Ye Xi wasn’t drunk.
Ye Xi heard her words.
"Brother Ye Xi, I also don’t know how to properly comfort you."
Pu Sangzhi bowed her head, gently biting her lip, although it was hard to say, she continued, "Now, I really love Huo Feng. My heart, my feelings for men, are all for him. I want to marry him, and I’ve wanted that since first year in high school."
"What about me..."
In the darkness, Ye Xi’s voice was light and hoarse, just three words, as if trembling.
"I always call you brother, in my heart, you are only a brother."
Pu Sangzhi knew, "I respect you, admire you, regard you with pride, as a role model. If possible, I hope you can always be my brother."
Forever...
Ye Xi’s heart suddenly ached...
Lying on the ground, his body curled slightly, as if trying to protect himself.
"When I was young..."
Pu Sangzhi gently opened her lips, "I envied Xiaocao for having such a gentle brother. Because of envy, I was very obedient. I wanted Brother Ye Xi to treat me as well as he treated Xiaocao. But I also knew, I could never be your real sister. So I would say things like wanting to marry you. Brother Ye Xi, now, you can only be my brother, or a stranger..."
"A stranger... haha..."
Ye Xi couldn’t bear it and let out a couple of bitter chuckles, but the corners of his mouth were drooping, his lips trembling as he said, "But do you know... in my heart, it’s always been you..."
"I’m sorry..."
Pu Sangzhi truly didn’t know what else to say.
She had said all she wanted to say...
Facing Ye Xi’s confession, she was also at a loss.
Because he was a very important presence beside her, she dared not hurt him, nor did she want to.
But this time, she had to...
"If..."
Ye Xi took a deep breath, as if summoning all his courage, and asked: "If you hadn’t met Huo Feng... during the hardest time, it had been me with you... would you have liked me?"
"No."
Pu Sangzhi bit her lip, took a deep breath, and finally said, "You’re a brother, always will be..."
"What if there’s no Huo Feng?" Ye Xi asked, unwilling to give up.
"Stop asking."
Pu Sangzhi didn’t want to answer these questions anymore, she just wanted to leave now.
"I’m sorry, I just want to marry Huo Feng."
After saying that, Pu Sangzhi didn’t care about anything else, she placed his head on the ground, then stood up and ran out...
In the dark and messy room, amid the scattered beer bottles, Ye Xi’s tall body gradually curled into a ’shrimp’ shape...
He didn’t know why he had to say these things to her?
He knew well the outcome would definitely be like this...
