"And the night I fell overboard, the person who saved me kissed me . When you leaned into my face just now, it felt similar, very similar . "
"Qingchun . "
Su Zhinian, who had been quietly listening to her, suddenly called her name to interrupt her .
He stared out the window for a few seconds before allowing his gaze to land on her face . "Going back to the night we shared at the northern countryside . Have you forgotten something I've told you when I was consoling you?"
He was lost for words as if he didn't know how to continue . The bedroom was so quiet that the sound of the ticking clock was discernible to the ear .
After who knew how long, Su Zhinian shifted in his seat and finished the rest of his statement like he had finally come to a decision . "Have you forgotten, I already have a person in my heart?"
Song Qingchun was stunned .
Su Zhinian went on . "From the words you said, I realize that the person you're looking for views you as the most important thing in the world, but I have to say, you are not the person who I treasure in my heart . So, how can I be the person you're looking for?"
Su Zhinian's tone became a little bit incredulous near the end . Honestly, he didn't expect he would one day use Song Qingchun to deny Song Qingchun .
What he said slowly registered in Song Qingchun's mind . That's right, how could I have forgotten? He already has a person that he loves; her name is Tingting . She is the most important person in the world for him; he can't love her, and yet he can't stop himself from loving her . For Tingting, he was willing to suffer a life of solitude . Since he can't be with her, he'd rather die alone .
He also once wrote something beautiful for her: I've expended three lifetimes to find you, and now I will use another to make you my wife .
He was right; the person who had been watching over her had to be someone who loved and valued her deeply . In the end, the person he loved was not her, and that was reason enough to eliminate him from the pool of candidates .
However, even so, Song Qingchun couldn't convince her own instinct . She didn't give up and continued her questions . "But, you have been so considerate toward me, and looked after me so much recently…"
"I feel indebted to you," Su Zhinian answered before Song Qingchun could finish .
"Indebted?" Song Qingchun repeated the term, unsure what he meant by that .
"Yes, indebted . " Su Zhinian repeated it again, to help her confirm that she hadn't misheard him . The rest of his sentence was delivered in the gentlest tone she had ever heard from him, but his words were like sharp knives that lacerated her heart . "After all, I once took your most important thing from you when I was drunk so many years ago . Even so, I still feel apologetic toward you . "
The nightmare that she hadn't thought about for a long time was suddenly brought up, and Song Qingchun's face blanched .
Su Zhinian paused but didn't open his eyes to look at her face, which was now twisted with pain . His lips turned down with something akin to pity as he said, "Furthermore, I find you in a rather pitiable condition at the moment . I'm taking care of you because it makes me feel better . "
They were not lovers, so no matter from which perspective, she really shouldn't have taken his kindness toward her with such deep consideration and with such importance . After all, he was not the Brother Yinan whom she had pursued for years .
However, for a reason that she couldn't understand herself, Song Qingchun's heart felt like it had broken into pieces when that sentence was uttered from his lips . Her breath caught in her throat, her lips quivered, and her eyes were getting red with tears .
