She knew that she had completely fallen. The two of them held each other tightly, as if the world around them had vanished, leaving only the two of them. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on their embrace, while the air was thick with a sweet fragrance. Han Jincheng stood not far away, watching this scene unfold, her heart gripped by an invisible hand, making it hard for her to breathe. She had intended to find Mu Yunze but instead stumbled upon this heartbreaking sight.
Why was she not enough? Wasn't it her who had known Mu Yunze first? Hadn't she always been by his side, encouraging and supporting him? Why, in the end, did he choose Chu Mohan?
Tears welled up in Han Jincheng's eyes as she bit down hard on her lower lip, nearly drawing blood from her soft flesh. Her heart felt as if it were being crushed by an unseen force, waves of suffocating pain making it nearly impossible to breathe.
She didn't want to cry; she didn't want to show her weakness in front of them or let them see her in such a pitiful state. She struggled to control her emotions, fighting against the flood of tears that threatened to spill over.
Taking a deep breath, she slowly exhaled, trying to calm her chaotic heartbeat. She turned away, wanting to escape this place that shattered her heart and the suffocating air around her. But her legs felt heavy as if filled with lead; each step felt like walking on the edge of a blade, causing her unbearable pain.
"Jincheng?" A voice called out behind her—Mu Yunze's voice—tinged with surprise and a hint of panic, along with an emotion she was unwilling to interpret.
The sound struck her like thunder, halting her in her tracks. She stood rigidly, back turned to them, afraid to look. She feared that if she turned around, she would lose control of her emotions and burst into tears.
Taking another deep breath, she forced a smile onto her face and slowly turned around. "Congratulations, Mu Yunze." Her voice trembled slightly, but she fought to maintain a calm tone, refusing to let any emotion slip through.
Mu Yunze looked at Han Jincheng's forced smile and felt as if he were being pricked by needles; his heart ached for her. He saw the tears glistening in her eyes and noticed how tightly she bit down on her lip while trying to appear relaxed. He knew how much pain she was in at that moment.
He released Chu Mohan's hand and stepped closer to Han Jincheng, his tone laced with regret. "Jincheng, I—"
"No need to explain," Han Jincheng interrupted him casually. "I saw everything; you don’t need to feel sorry for me. I’m just a bit surprised." She struggled to keep smiling, fighting back the tears.
Chu Mohan stood nearby, watching the two of them with a complex expression in her eyes. She could sense Han Jincheng's pain and Mu Yunze's guilt.
"Jincheng," Mu Yunze hesitated before speaking again. "Actually—"
"I know," Han Jincheng cut him off again, bitterness creeping into her gaze. "I know how you feel about me."
Mu Yunze fell silent; he couldn't deny it.
"Mu Yunze," Han Jincheng suddenly shifted the conversation's tone, becoming serious. "I agree with your earlier idea. Can we all be together—me, you, and Chu Mohan?"
Both Mu Yunze and Chu Mohan were taken aback; they hadn’t expected Han Jincheng to genuinely agree.
Seeing their shocked expressions made Han Jincheng let out a self-deprecating laugh. "I know this is absurd and ridiculous, but rather than losing you entirely, I’d prefer this." Her voice trembled as tears finally slipped down her cheeks.
Mu Yunze looked at Han Jincheng with mixed feelings in his heart. He hadn’t realized how deeply she cared for him—deep enough to accept such a relationship. He glanced at Chu Mohan with questioning eyes.
Chu Mohan paused for a moment before stepping forward to gently take Han Jincheng's hand. "Jincheng, thank you."
Looking into Chu Mohan's sincere eyes made the last shred of hesitation within Han Jincheng fade away. She grasped Chu Mohan's hand and offered a relieved smile.
