Bai Mingxuan had done his best to take care of Yuan Shuheng, using his internal energy to dry Yuan's clothes and warm up his body.

  Yu Shu Huan was a bit silent and didn't say a word. It wasn't that Yu Shu Huan didn't want to speak, but suddenly had the feeling of having nothing to say. Pei Ming Xuan's five years weren't always the same either. Yu Shu Huan could only choose to accept it. Or maybe they still hadn't learned how to love and care for each other, or how two people should get along.

  "He's angry." Pei Mingxuan asked somewhat helplessly. Yuan Shuhuan was even more terrifying when he wasn't angry than when he was. In this situation, he actually hoped that Yuan Shuhuan would vent his temper. This coldness made people not know what to do.

  "Not angry." Just suddenly a little at a loss for words. Unfortunately, such words can't be said out loud. Probably anyone facing Pei Mingxuan would feel a bit at a loss for words sometimes.

  Bae Myung-seon leaned in and kissed the corner of Won Seo-hwan's lips, as if trying to sense his temperature. Won Seo-hwan gently returned Bae Myung-seon's kiss, wanting to dispel the unease within himself. They exchanged body heat with each other. The time they spent together was peaceful like this.

  Getting a response from Yuan Shu Huan made Pei Ming Xuan very happy. Unfortunately, that's all for today.

  "I believe it now," Pei Mingxuan said with a smile, rushing towards Yuan Shuhuan. Yuan Shuhuan inexplicably felt a bit playful. This feeling shouldn't appear on Pei Mingxuan's body. But Pei Mingxuan did it so naturally. Yuan Shuhuan didn't know how to describe it. He could only say that Pei Mingxuan was indeed the most beautiful person in the world.

  "It turns out you don't believe me." Yuan Shu Han looked at Pei Ming Xuan with a smile that was not quite a smile. This person really didn't know what it meant to be annoyed. Although he hadn't expressed such emotions, he was actually very unhappy at this moment. He believed Pei Ming Xuan had also noticed this, otherwise he wouldn't be teasing him like this.

  Pei Mingxuan didn't expect Yuan Shuhuan to still be here, making things difficult for himself. Yuan Shuhuan's obedience over this period of time seemed to have given him some kind of misconception. In fact, Yuan Shuhuan was still the same as before. It was just that because of his own reasons, Yuan Shuhuan chose to be lenient with himself.

  This book isn't worth the money. Because if it goes on like this, one day Yuan Shu will feel exhausted. Just like his own exhaustion at a certain period of time. Although that emotional state has long since passed.

  "What you said, I naturally believe." Yuan Shu Han didn't get angry. Pei Ming Xuan noticed this. Perhaps Yuan Shu Han was even more fragile than he used to be. Pei Ming Xuan thought of that one night. The night when Yuan Shu Han treated himself as his mother and fell asleep...

  It turns out that all of this had an answer long ago. It's just that I didn't understand it in my heart at the time. Now thinking about it, various signs have actually shown it a long time ago. But I was foolishly unaware of how to distinguish it.

  "I wanted to handle it myself tonight, didn't expect to disturb you." Pei Mingxuan said with some apology. Although Yuan Shuhuan was able to come over, Pei Mingxuan was actually very happy about it. Being able to come represented that Yuan Shuhuan cared about him. Could Pei Mingxuan not feel happy about this?

  It's just a pity that Yu Shu Huan seems unhappy now. This makes Pei Ming Xuan feel like he has been startled. Thinking about it, he has hidden so many things from her. She wouldn't be happy, would she? But there are some things, he doesn't want to drag Yu Shu Huan into them.

  "Husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest... When disaster strikes, they fly separately." Yuan Shu Han didn't want to say these words out loud. Because she knew she couldn't do it herself. Perhaps it was precisely because she cared that she felt this way. But did Pei Ming Xuan not care? If he didn't care, he wouldn't have brought it up and made her promise never to leave him for the rest of her life.

  "It won't happen." How could they possibly have their own separate day? Bae Myung-seon absolutely wouldn't allow such a situation to occur. He also knew that Won Seo-hwan didn't originally mean it that way. Probably just thought there was a possibility, that's all. Moreover, some things really couldn't be told to Won Seo-hwan. In this regard, Bae Myung-seon had some measure of discretion in his heart.

  "You think that some things are impossible." Yuan Shu Han didn't mention names or say what should or shouldn't be said. He just put everything out in the open and talked about it. Maybe they need to have an honest conversation between them. Although the outcome may not necessarily be good, at least it's better than the current situation.

  "We don't want to leave each other, but some things are not up to us to decide. We just confirmed each other's intentions, but we still can't accommodate the differences between us." There are differences between people, just like how I involve Pei Mingxuan in everything, but Pei Mingxuan doesn't necessarily rely on me for everything.

  "I can do it." No matter how different Yu Shu Huan is, I can still tolerate him, can't I? Yu Shu Huan can also do the same thing, right? My white hair, Yu Shu Huan didn't say anything and just tolerated me, did he? Why say such words now? Pei Ming Xuan felt a bit uneasy in his heart.

  This should be a very easy thing to resolve. Why does it become so difficult when it comes to oneself? Bae Myung-seon doesn't know what kind of feeling is in his heart, but he vaguely feels a heartache. Why can't Won Seo-hwan understand himself? Why does it always have to be like this...

  "I'm not someone who easily lets go, especially when it comes to you, I don't want to let go no matter what. It took me five years to realize that I've already fallen for the poison you gave me." Yuan Shu Huan raised her gaze, burning with intensity as she stared at Pei Ming Xuan. This was only the beginning between them.

  Yu Shu Han actually can't say it clearly either. My own little temper tonight and the tangled thoughts in my heart, I don't know where they come from. In short, I couldn't escape the three words "Pei Ming Xuan".

  "What about you? What kind of trick have you played on me again?" Pei Mingxuan asked back. If saying that poisoning wasn't just his own doing, Yuan Shuheng also had a part in it. Although this conversation was exciting, the sarcasm in his heart was due to something else. Because of Yuan Shuheng's reckless departure many years ago, did he still have some aversion towards him?

  Pei Mingxuan felt that he couldn't be all-encompassing either, at least not in this matter. He still had a lingering resentment towards Yuan Shuhuan in his heart. Why didn't he even leave himself the opportunity to explain? Even if he used too many excuses, there was still some resentment inside.

  This kind of resentment is the most fundamental, isn't it? Even though they are already so intimate with each other, I still feel a distance between the two people. No matter how Yuan Shu Huan says that she and I are from different worlds, I have never believed it before. But now, I can no longer not believe it.

  He used his own infatuation as a bargaining chip, wanting to tie Yuan Shu down by his side like this. This is the real answer to those two questions from before.

  Bae Myung-seon, who knew his true thoughts, was not happy. Because he thought of someone. That person always waited so gently. And persisted without reservation. The existence of Sae Kong-ji made Bae Myung-seon unconsciously make comparisons. But it only added some unease to his heart.

  To say that I don't love anymore, Pei Mingxuan can definitely say that he still loves Yuan Shuhuan. However, that kind of love cannot be compared to the one five years ago. In these five years, his heart has changed.

  These self-conscious thoughts, Pei Mingxuan did not want to tell Yuan Shuhuan. If he were to tell Yuan Shuhuan about these small thoughts of his, would Yuan Shuhuan silently leave again? Would he simply let go of what he had already obtained? Pei Mingxuan was unwilling...

  "Hmm, in this regard, we're actually the same. That's why I'm willing to stay by your side. Because you're my antidote." Yuan Shu Han said with some sarcasm. They had also reached a point where they needed to dissect their feelings for each other. Although it would be temporarily unpleasant, it was better than analyzing later on.

  At least they still have time now. It's only when there's no turning back that they come to think of these things. It will only make people feel regretful for not doing it earlier.

  "Then don't uncover it, we're fine like this." He himself is Yu Shuhan's antidote. Yu Shuhan isn't his own antidote either. This point he has long since come to understand.

  "It's only a matter of time. We will eventually face it. Although that was just the bitter fruit I brewed for myself. You don't have to take responsibility for these things. When I left, I was like you today. It's just because I didn't believe. The original book of love between men and women is still unfaithful. Even though there is already a Pei Mingxuan."

  "You don't believe me." Pei Mingxuan's anger was pushed to the limit by Yu Shuhan's words. He admitted that he could never be as tolerant as Si Kongzi Hong, accepting everything about Yu Shuhan.

  "How can you make me believe in you? I don't trust anyone, it seems. Deep down, I still believe that there is goodness in this world. Unfortunately, I just don't think I'll ever have it. My parents were like that too... A woman who flew into the flames for love, abandoning her family. The last love my mother got..."

  How can love be used to describe it? It's just a person's obsession. If you say that what exists between two people is love, Yuan Shu would never believe it.

  Yuan Shu Han's narrative was somewhat disorganized, but Pei Ming Xuan could hear it clearly. It turned out that Yuan Shu Han's mother had abandoned her parents and daughter for the sake of a loved one, so Yuan Shu Han didn't believe in love at all. Pei Ming Xuan felt that the answer he got was laughable...

  Yuan Shu Huan doesn't just not believe in love, he directly doesn't believe in anyone, including himself. Yuan Shu Huan is someone who doesn't trust others. This is the root of the problem. Unfortunately, he has never figured out that Yuan Shu Huan is actually a person who lacks a sense of security...

  A slight breeze can make him retreat, unable to move forward. Although in other matters, Yuan Shu Huan can be fearless and bold. However, when it comes to emotions, he is not capable of being so. He thought that between two people, they could be of one mind and heart, and walk together forever.
