"My little Xinya, look at you, your mouth is all messy. Let me help you clean it up..." Brother Shouya would reach out to wipe away any rice or other food stuck around her mouth.
One time, while eating ice cream by the roadside, her face was covered in cream. Ignoring the stares from others, Shouya leaned down and kissed her lips, enjoying the taste of the cream as he licked it off with his tongue.
Thinking about this made An Xin Ya feel both happy and sweet inside.
Two days later, she received a call from Wushuang, who informed her that Brother Shouya was at Solomon's secret base, locked in his room and drinking heavily all day.
Hearing this, Xinya couldn't believe that attending a banquet with Morina could have such a significant impact on him. She felt both heartbroken and guilty and decided she needed to go to Solomon's secret base to see Brother Shouya.
An Xin Ya personally rushed to the castle to find Wushuang, who took her into the base.
Wushuang and Xinya both got into the car as the driver headed towards Solomon.
Seeing An Xin Ya's nervousness and worry, Wushuang recalled that on the day Xinya came to the castle asking for help to find Brother Shouya, she had gone directly to ask Rafas if he knew where Brother Shouya was. Rafas had looked confused and said he didn't know.
Later, she called Faisal to ask him and learned that Brother Shouya was at Solomon's secret base, drinking day and night. Faisal mentioned that he had tried to persuade Shouya several times, but he wouldn't listen at all...
Upon arriving at Solomon's secret base, Wushuang held Xinya's hand as they walked inside. The further they went in, the darker it became. After activating a mechanism, a hidden entrance appeared where there had been a white wall, leading them into a spacious interior.
An Xin Ya looked around in disbelief at such a mysterious place... so mysterious...
Yan Wushuang reached the door and knocked loudly, calling out, "Brother Shouya, Brother Shouya, are you in there?"
Brother Shouya, now sporting a full beard from days of drinking alone in his room, looked much older due to his neglect. Hearing Wushuang's voice outside the door slowly prompted him to open his eyes and sit up from the cold floor, staring blankly at all the empty bottles around him.
Unable to contain her emotions any longer, An Xin Ya stepped forward and knocked forcefully on the door, shouting loudly, "Brother Shouya, it's me! I'm Xinya! I know you're in there; please open the door..."
"Xinya! What are you doing here?" Shouya opened his eyes, a hint of panic in them, but he had drunk too much and only felt a splitting headache. He didn't manage to stand up before he slipped and fell to the ground, knocking over all the bottles, which clinked loudly.
"Brother Shouya, can you open the door? Please..." Tears had already streamed down her face as An Xinya knocked on the door. Hearing a sound from inside, she knew he was definitely in there. "Brother Shouya, you misunderstood. I have nothing to do with Morina. Please believe me! I really regret what I said to you at the banquet that day. I shouldn't have said those things. I'm truly sorry, I'm sorry..."
"What do you want? Get lost..."
An Xinya heard Shouya's angry shout from inside the room; he was indeed in there, and her heart leaped with joy.
"Brother Shouya, can you please open the door? Do you know? I've been looking for you these days but couldn't find you anywhere. I waited at home for several days and still didn't see you come back. I'm really anxious, truly anxious! I realized I can't live without you; not seeing you is more painful than losing my sight." An Xinya stood outside the door, tears falling as she spoke apologetically, "I know you doubt me and Morina, but please believe me, we are just friends, nothing more... The person I love is you, Brother Shouya!"
Standing beside her, Yan Wushuang watched this heart-wrenching scene with a frown. She stepped forward to support Xinya and then looked at the closed door, saying to Shouya inside, "Brother Shouya, can you open the door? If there's something going on, we can sit down and talk it out."
Sitting on the floor, Shouya recalled that day at the banquet when he vividly remembered Xinya fiercely defending Morina and shouting at him in front of everyone, "Enough! Stop making such a scene! I don't want to see you again."
Every word felt like an invisible arrow piercing his heart mercilessly, leaving him in unbearable pain!
Sadness and anger overwhelmed him; he couldn't accept Xinya's apology.
"Brother Shouya, can you please open the door?" With furrowed brows and tears streaming down her face, Xinya knocked on the door again, her voice trembling as she cried out, hoping he would open it and not continue to reject her outside.
"Get lost! I don't want to see you again; just go away..." Shouya didn't want to hear her voice anymore. At that moment, his headache was unbearable; he couldn't take in anything and didn't want to listen to anyone's advice.
He staggered to his feet and accidentally kicked an empty bottle, which made a crisp sound as it clattered. His eyes shone with anger as he heard Xinya crying and repeatedly apologizing—what an ear-piercing sound! He sneered and grabbed a bottle of liquor from the table, tilting his head back to drink it down angrily. He then hurled the bottle against the wall with all his might; it shattered with a loud crash, brown liquid splattering everywhere as he finally shouted, "Get out..."
Hearing the loud crash of breaking glass followed by his roar from inside the room startled An Xinya. She widened her eyes in shock as she stood outside the door, tears streaming down her face once more.
Brother Shouya would no longer forgive her and did not want to see her again! She knew she was wrong and had apologized to him, yet he still refused to accept it, which showed just how deeply she had hurt him.
Wushuang was also startled by the sounds inside. She placed her hands on Xinya's trembling shoulders, furrowing her brows as she helplessly looked at the tightly closed door. According to Faisal, he had been drinking heavily day and night, and when he ran out of alcohol, he ordered someone to buy more. The room was a mess, filled with empty bottles scattered on the floor, and the air was thick with the smell of alcohol and smoke…
Xinya covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face. She truly did not know what to do. What could she do for Brother Shouya to forgive her? To reconcile and come home?
Wushuang found the key and opened the door, a strong, unpleasant smell of alcohol hitting them immediately. Xinya and Wushuang walked in together, seeing that the room was dimly lit, with empty bottles of liquor, red wine, beer, and broken glass all over the floor. The place was in complete disarray.
Xinya spotted Brother Shouya sitting in the corner against the wall, drunkenly leaning back with half a bottle of liquor in his hand. She hurried over, crouching in front of him. Seeing his haggard appearance broke her heart; her voice trembled as she softly called out, “Brother Shouya!”
As she spoke, tears fell uncontrollably; he had become this way because of her.
In his drunken haze, Shouya heard Xinya's voice and suddenly opened his eyes wide. His gaze was vacant but filled with intoxication as he looked at the woman before him. His expression turned fierce as he growled, “Who let you in? Get out! Get out!”
He didn't want her to see him in such a pitiful state. He tried to get up from the floor again but couldn't manage it.
Xinya quickly reached out to help him but was forcefully pushed away by him, nearly falling over herself. Fortunately, Wushuang was quick enough to catch her.
With bloodshot eyes filled with rage, Shouya shouted angrily, “I don't need your help! Get away!”
Seeing him like this made Xinya's heart ache. With a worried and conflicted expression, she said, “Brother Shouya, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!”
Other than saying sorry, there was nothing else she could express; all her remorse was poured into those three words.
“I'm sorry! Ha! If anyone should be saying sorry, it's me! I shouldn't have followed you or disrupted your time with Morina. I even hit your Morina! What are you here for? To watch my humiliation? Or to pity me? I don't need your pity; just get lost…” Under the influence of alcohol, his angry words carried a bitter tone as Shouya scoffed while recalling that scene where so many people watched his humiliation; he had become Morina's "defeated foe."
He spoke a few sweet words, gave her roses several times, wrote a few love poems, and invited her out on several occasions, but none of it compared to the years he had invested.
"Brother Shouya, you misunderstand..." How many more times did he want her to say it before he would understand her and forgive her?
Standing silently beside them, Yan Wushuang saw Brother Shouya's extreme behavior and said indignantly, "Forget it, let's go. Don't pay attention to him. Let him be; he can self-destruct here..."
An Xin Ya looked at Wushuang with tears in her eyes. She didn't want to leave; she wanted to stay. But Wushuang forcibly pulled her up and led her out of Shouya's room, then said to her, "He can't hear what you're saying right now. If you stay here, you'll only face his sarcasm and insults, and he might even drive you away harshly..."
An Xin Ya wanted to say something else but was once again pulled out of the base by Wushuang. The sunlight outside was blinding, and the tears on her face radiated a sorrowful glow.
Once in the car, An Xin Ya couldn't stop crying. If she hadn't clashed with him or agreed to attend the banquet with Morina, he wouldn't have shown up at the banquet, wouldn't have argued with Morina, and wouldn't have ended up fighting. She wouldn't have lost her temper and yelled at him; he wouldn't have left the banquet in anger and locked himself in his room at the base drinking like this. If it weren't for her, none of this would have happened.
There are no "ifs," because it has already happened.
Yan Wushuang frowned as she looked at the tear-streaked An Xin Ya and tightly held her hand. Seeing how Brother Shouya treated Xinya earlier made her feel furious inside.
She said, "For the next few days, don't pay any attention to him. Don't seek him out. Ignore him for a few days and see what happens. If he truly loves you, he'll definitely come looking for you."
Listening to Yan Wushuang's words, An Xin Ya looked at Wushuang with tears in her eyes and asked doubtfully, "Really? Will he really come looking for me?"
"Of course! I guarantee that within a few days he will come looking for you." Yan Wushuang tightened her grip on Xinya's hand as she assured her. She had experienced similar situations before; if you ignore him for a few days, he'll realize he can't do without you and will come back to reconcile.
