After hearing these words, Si Mobai frowned. The flame of rage in his heart was reignited. However, he felt more heartache than anger. Therefore, he was still rational.
“Mobai… Boohoo… I just want to cry to you like this. I just want to express my grievance to you. I just want to tell you that I am in pain…” She didn’t have to put up a strong front because he was around. She didn’t have to pretend anymore. She could just act like a spoiled child and vent her grievances.
After hearing what she said, Si Mobai’s anger subsided once again. His heart then became even softer. “Uh-huh. With me around, you can just be yourself. You can share all your feelings with me,” he said.
Feng Tianlan kept her hold on Si Mobai. She wrapped her hands around his neck and buried her face under his neck as she cried out loud and talked about her previous life.
Her parents passed away when she was four. She then ran away from home. That was the only time she cried out loud. From then onwards, every time she wanted to cry, she would hide quietly and cry silently while hugging her knees. She didn’t dare to let others see her being weak and useless.
She thought that she would do that forever. However, Sister Lin found out about that. She didn’t laugh at Feng Tianlan nor comfort her. She just stayed by her side and waited quietly. This was why her relationship with Sister Lin was so strong.
Besides, whenever she was bullied, Xi Jin and Xi Lin would step forward bravely. They were the ones who pushed her to the height she had reached, step-by-step, so that no one dared to bully her ever again.
When she left the palace, it was Shen Yunya and Jiang Ying who accompanied her. It was Jiang Ying who was always by her side, pleasing her when she knew nothing about relationships. With those rumors saying that they were a match, she believed that the six of them were grouped into three pairs. Therefore, she started to develop an imperceptible feeling towards Jiang Ying. However, the feeling wasn’t true love, but reliance. It was only a tacit acceptance of those rumors.
Therefore, when she was betrayed by Jiang Ying and Shen Yunya after that, her spiritual pain far exceeded her physical pain.
After experiencing such a betrayal, she started to put her guard up against everyone, even Xi Lin, Xi Jin, Yunzhu, and Chuling. She didn’t dare to present her true self.
She was only able to be the real version of herself in front of Si Mobai. She didn’t have to worry because his love made her open up her heart once again to discover the beauty of this world.
“Mobai.” Feng Tianlan raised her head and opened her watery, phoenix eyes wide while staring straight at Si Mobai.
Si Mobai couldn’t help but tug at the corners of his mouth when he saw Feng Tianlan’s face covered in tears and snot. He then raised his hand and wiped her face clean with his blouse as he replied with a soft, “Uh-huh. I am here.”
“To me, this world is horrible. I hated it. However, because of you, I now think that the world is beautiful. Although there are a lot of bad guys around, I feel as though there are actually a lot of good guys, too, because of you. However, I didn’t notice them before. With you around, I can hear the sound of flowers blossoming,” Feng Tianlan told him.
After hearing what Feng Tianlan said, Si Mobai’s hand came to a pause. He then immediately put his hand behind her head, pressing it downwards and kissing her. He licked her lips gently, then split them open with the tip of his tongue. He pried her teeth apart slowly and gently, then wrapped his tongue around the tip of her soft tongue…
Because of her, this world was beautiful. Because of her, he could hear the sound of flowers blossoming. This was all because she was his world. They shared the same way of thinking.
This was the love between them. This was the happiness created by their love…
