Sustained Pursuit
Shen Wuxiao looked at the sky and slowly said, "I really thought about her every day."
"I thought about every little thing we shared. I often saw her in my dreams, but every time I woke up, the person beside me was... (not her, but Catherine and the others...)"
"She loved teasing me, and it was always about children's names. (Husband, I don't care! Someone already took Shen Fei's name—you have to stand up for me!)"
"But..."
Shen Wuxiao's voice abruptly cut off.
Yan Lin'er's eyes had reddened slightly.
After taking a break, Shen Wuxiao continued, "It's been so long already—one or two weeks. I thought I had let it go."
"Actually, I truly thought I had let it go. But the moment I saw Xingran, I... I still couldn't quite control myself..."
Yan Lin'er nodded. "That's understandable... You want... me to help you pursue her?"
Shen Wuxiao did not beat around the bush and nodded. "Yes. I'll definitely love her, cherish her, and never treat her as a substitute."
Hearing that, Yan Lin'er suddenly felt a little envious.
But she did not agree right away. Instead, she said, "Can you give me some time to think about it?"
"She's my good sister. I really don't want to deceive her."
"But if the time is right, I'll help you..."
"Mm, I know. These things can't be forced. I just wanted to tell you, so you'd know where I stand."
"Mm..." Yan Lin'er nodded.
She slowly rose to her feet. "Then... then I'll go down first..."
"Go on. I need some time alone..." Shen Wuxiao smiled faintly.
Yan Lin'er slowly turned around, yet could not help looking back at him.
In the end, she still went down.
Once Yan Lin'er had left, Shen Wuxiao's sorrowful expression vanished.
Hehe!
