Although she thought that, the tears formed uncontrollably and rolled down her cheeks, wetting her face .

She walked alone along the streets of Hengdian .
Mo Xicheng followed her, frowning and lost in his thoughts . He looked bewildered and at a loss as to how to comfort an upset girl .
He knew she didn’t want him around, but he was too worried to let her be alone .
Qiao Lian was tugging Shen Liangchuan along as they trailed the two of them from a safe distance .
They couldn’t have heard what Shi Nianyao and Mo Xicheng had said to each other, but looking at what was going on, everything was self-explanatory .
She shot Shen Liangchuan a look to indicate that they should attend to them separately .
Qiao Lian walked up to Shi Nianyao and tapped her shoulder .
The latter spun her head around and, seeing that it was Qiao Lian, now felt worse than ever . She called out, “Lian Lian!” and started to cry aloud .

Qiao Lian drew the sobbing girl into her embrace .
Shi Nianyao was starting to choke on her own tears now .
After a brief moment, she looked up and dried her eyes . “Actually, there really isn’t anything to cry about . ”
Qiao Lian nodded in agreement . “That’s right, three-legged toads are rare, but two-legged men are a dime a dozen . We’re not bad looking, so the least of our worries is finding a man to like us . ”
“Lian Lian, what are you saying?!” Shi Nianyao pouted and said, “I’m sure my idol doesn’t like me because I’m not good enough . Tell me, what is it I’m lacking?”
Qiao Lian was completely astounded .
After all of this, the silly girl still held a torch for him?
Frowning, Shi Nianyao continued, “Mum and Dad are both good-looking people . Logically speaking, I shouldn’t have a problem in that department . Intellectually, even less so . That leaves…”

Qiao Lian widened her eyes . In what other ways was Shi Nianyao not perfect?
As she contemplated the possibilities, Shi Nianyao suddenly slapped her own forehead, saying, “Could it be because I don’t have a good figure?”
Figure?
Qiao Lian looked at Shi Nianyao again .
She had the right curves, front and back . What else was missing?
Shi Nianyao lowered her head and stared at her chest . “It’s indeed a little flat . ”
Qiao Lian: …
Wiping her fists and rubbing her palms, she asked, “Should I eat more papayas?”

Qiao Lian: …
On the other end of things, Shen Liangchuan walked up to Mo Xicheng .
Following his gaze, he noted Mo Xicheng was staring at the two girls in the distance .
They had no idea what Qiao Lian had said to Shi Nianyao, who had been crying her eyes out just a little while back, but now looked completely fine . The girls were chatting about something .
Shen Liangchuan pursed his lips and said, “You don’t look completely disinterested in her . Why did you reject her?”
Mo Xicheng looked away .
He smiled in a mocking manner and said after a short pause, “Someone like me… with my status… why would I want to weigh someone else down?”
Shen Liangchuan was flabbergasted by this answer and was left quite speechless .
After a moment, he asked, “Is that why you’ve never dated anyone all these years?”
Mo Xicheng looked at him and nodded .
Shen Liangchuan finally gave a deep sigh and said, “You are the one limiting yourself . ”
Mo Xicheng lowered his gaze and said, “I can’t help being who I am . This is my identity . ”
He was an illegitimate child, born out of wedlock .
And he was the child who would never see the light of day .
But she, on the other hand, was like the sun . He found her irresistible, yet he could not bear being the one weighing her life down . Hence, it was better to put an early stop to things .
