Not only the sales manager of the shipping company couldn't figure it out, but Si Junyi couldn't figure it out either. He couldn't figure out why Shen Yan, who he had abandoned at Shun Shui Bay, suddenly appeared in his home and came so menacingly.
As soon as he entered the door, he looked for Momo everywhere, "Where is Qu Motong?"
On the way back to City S, Qu Motong had already told Si Jun about Chen Yan's confession to her again, and Si Junyi gave her advice and asked her to observe it for a while.
At this moment, Shen Yan came to see Qu Motong. Si Jun took it for granted that he was this kid and wanted to express his feelings, so he chased the guests for Qu Motong: "She has gone to bed. You can come see her again tomorrow."
Shen Yan knew which room Qu Motong was in, so he ignored Si Junyi and walked upstairs. Si Junyi stopped him, but he pushed him away arrogantly.
Si Jun almost fell down the stairs because he didn't expect Shen Yan to exert such great strength.
By the time he stood firm and chased after him, Shen Yan had already entered Qu Motong's room and slammed the door shut.
He knocked on the door desperately, and Qu Motong stuck out his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about it." Then he closed the door again.
He didn't know that as soon as Shen Yan rushed in, he put the iron box containing memories on Qu Motong's bed, and then asked aggressively: "Tell me, what are all these things about?"
When Qu Motong saw that he had actually gotten the things she had hidden behind the bookshelf, she expected that he would not give up easily, so she opened the door first and sent Si Junyi away who was knocking frantically.
She sent Si Junyi away and came back and said, "Since you have seen everything, I will tell you everything. Indeed, I have known you a long time ago, probably since I was seven years old." Qu Mo Tong picked up the deflated balloon and said, "Maybe you don't remember it, but you gave it to me."
"Did I give it to you?" Shen Yan was completely unimpressed.
"Well, you gave it to me in front of your department store. I was bullied at that time, and you saved me." Qu Motong smiled and said, "Then we met again at a talent show. Maybe you don’t remember that you sent a little girl to school who missed the school bus backstage.”
"I remember this. Your crying was so unpleasant and unique."
Qu Motong rolled her eyes at him, "Then we met in the library, you already know."
"I don't want to know this, what I want to know is, why do you collect these things?" Shen Yan forced Qu Motong to look him in the eyes, "Answer me, do you like me?"
Unable to escape, Qu Motong simply admitted, "Yes, I do like you. You were the only light in my gloomy growing years. Every time you saved me, you made me feel like you were an angel. I loved you." You use it as an imaginary support and collect your things. Whenever there are difficulties that I cannot survive, I will look at these things and they will give me endless courage."
"Then why did you reject me?"
"Because I have low self-esteem." Qu Motong confessed, "I am a single mother who has nothing but Yanyan, but you have a lot. I dare not enter your world, and I am also afraid that you are just interested in me. We will eventually separate, so I would rather look at you from a distance than have any interaction with you. I am afraid that you will break my dreams, swallow up my beliefs, and make me realize that there are no angels in this world."
"So this is what you are afraid of." Shen Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, "How many women have approached me because of my identity, but you are the first one to reject me because of my identity. In fact, you are overthinking it. I have no intention of inheriting the Shen family, so for me, the family does not mean that I cannot disobey. Besides, our Shen family is also a family that is different from other families. You see, my sister also knows that she has been struggling for so long. Has Shen's board of directors ever touched her in the slightest? In Shen's, being able to help the company make the most money is the heir's top priority. Unless he is incompetent and must rely on marriage to develop the company, otherwise, Shen's board of directors will not Interfering with the heir’s marriage.”
Just as Qu Motong was about to speak, Shen Yan stopped her and said: "Secondly, you said you were afraid that I was just interested in you. Frankly speaking, I used to have no confidence in myself and thought that I was just greedy for you. It was new, but then I suddenly figured it out. If every love can end before it begins, it is not love, but a trajectory. I shouldn’t dare to pursue you or follow you just because I don’t have confidence in myself. You are together, on the contrary, I should be more active."
"Why should we be more active?" Qu Motong wondered.
"Because you have the magic power to change me, I believe that after being with you, I will become a better version of myself." Shen Yan looked at Qu Motong tenderly, "Actually, I have changed a lot because of you. It’s just that I haven’t discovered it until now.”
"I don't understand what you are saying." Shen Yan's words went around and around, making Qu Motong feel dizzy.
Shen Yan said domineeringly: "Then you stay with me, I will let you understand slowly."
"But..." Qu Motong felt that he was completely unable to think normally.
Shen Yan held Qu Motong's hand, "Don't give up. If I really give up on you midway, then I am not qualified to be your believer. It would be a good thing for your dream to be broken as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
Promise? Not agree? This is a question...
Qu Motong looked at the man in front of her infatuatedly, the man she had been secretly in love with for more than ten years, and felt confused for a while. She had thought many times, if he knew that she had done so many things for him, what would happen to him? What kind of reaction?
She expected that he would be moved, but she did not expect that he would like her.
In front of Shen Yan, she has always had low self-esteem and felt that she was as insignificant as dust. It was a wonderful thing that she could secretly like him. She never asked for anything in return, nor did she expect to receive equal love. Everything is taken for granted.
But is it really a matter of course? Is the love one person has for another person really just a matter of course?
