His insistence left me at a loss, "If you insist, I can only admit that, yes, I am indeed a woman with a story, but it is a horrible story."

He smiled and raised his glass, "Dry."

I am grateful that he did not pursue this question. Although we have not known each other for a long time, I have already understood his character. He is a man who knows his boundaries very well.

We had a great time drinking, and the accumulated bitterness in our hearts gradually dissipated. Gao Zian was very good at creating an atmosphere. He said a lot of interesting things, which made me couldn't help but laugh. I have to admit, this was the only time in many years that I felt relaxed and happy from the bottom of my heart.

Later, he and I got drunk, and we sat on the sofa together, leaning on each other.

In a daze, he said in a daze, "Shangguan xin, it's cold outside, but I feel very warm leaning against you!"

Shangguan xin was the fake name I told him. Shangguan was my mother's last name, and xin was my original name. I didn't mean to deceive him, but I had been using this name for so many years.

I smirked and agreed, "Yes, it's warm, I'm warm too, I've never been warm before..."

"Then let's live together. You don't have a place to go anyway."

"Is that okay? Don't people who live together have to love each other?"

"It's not absolute. Apart from loving each other, there's something suitable. As long as it's suitable, there's nothing wrong with it!"

It was a drunken conversation between us. He didn't mean it. I didn't mean it. It was like this all night. We finally fell asleep...

When it was light, I was awakened by a blinding light outside the window. Ever since I was young, I was used to being dark and repelled everything bright. I got up and quickly walked to the window and closed the curtains together. The only light in the room was covered by me.

Gao Zian wasn't awake yet. I stared at his sleeping face, and when I thought of what I said last night, I felt very embarrassed.

Time passed by without knowing it. If I hadn't seen the willows sprouting outside the window, I wouldn't have known that spring had come.

And I, too, have been living with Gao Zian for nearly three months.

It seemed that there was no reason to stay any longer. This was not my home, and he was not one of mine, so I could not treat the kindness of others as my permanent meal ticket.

Thinking of it this way, I left a note one evening and quietly left. Maybe he took me in for so long, and I should have said goodbye to him in person, but somehow, I didn't dare to face him.

I'm not used to shuttling back and forth into the strange crowd and accepting the strange looks of others. Maybe it's because someone made me feel respected, and I started to be delicate...

After wandering around all day without money, I came to the seaside alone. Although it was already spring, the night was still a little cold. I was cold and hungry. For the first time, I felt really useless. I couldn't live like a normal person without others.

For a moment, I stood on the reef and wanted to jump off. Ye Mengxin's life was completely hopeless.

The only thing left was despair.

The sea breeze messed up my hair, and I closed my eyes. Suddenly, I heard someone calling me. The voice seemed to come from the sky, making my heart pound unconsciously.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, okay?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw an anxious face, mature, charming, and also unreachable...

Gao Zian grabbed my arm and said angrily, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

"I left you a note."

"Is that all? After three months of getting along with each other, did a note clear the relationship?"

I looked at him in surprise. I didn't understand what he meant. Was there any ambiguous relationship between me and him...

"Thank you for taking me in, but I'm just an irrelevant person. You have no obligation to take care of me all the time."

"Irrelevant people? Weren't we supposed to live together forever?!"

His eyes had never been cloudy before. I was in shock and said after a while, "That's our drunken joke. It can't be true."

"You may be joking after drinking, but I'm serious."

My mind went blank with a bang. I didn't know what to say. After the stalemate lasted for a few minutes, I shook off his hand in panic and tried to leave, but he stopped me, "Come home with me."

"Do you know what you're talking about?" I asked sharply.

"I've never been so sober." He replied.

"Well, even if what you said was serious, can I refuse? I don't want to live together because it suits me!"

"What if it's because of love?"

My footsteps suddenly stopped, my body was a little stiff, my body couldn't help shivering, the word love, in my life, has always been an extravagant hope, an unreachable distance.

Slowly turning around, I smiled sarcastically, walked up to him, looked him in the eye and said, "You told me love? Do you know what I look like? I don't know, right? Then let me show you now. When you see it, you will feel how stupid you are and how much you will regret what you just said!"

With a strong tug, I pulled off my veil, presented half of my ugly face to him, and deliberately approached him, "See clearly? Aren't you afraid of nightmares when you propose to live with a woman who is neither human nor ghost?"

Gao Zian's expression was much calmer than I thought. The calmer he was, the more confused I was, because I didn't know what he was thinking...

"When two people are together, they are based on feelings, not looks. Even if you show me your imperfections, all I can remember is your best side."

I can't deny the warmth rising from my heart, but this feeling makes me feel ashamed. Even if Gao Zian doesn't dislike me, how can I face him without any distractions like this...

I put on my veil again and left without a word. His voice came from behind again, "I know you feel inferior, but have you forgotten what I told you? God gave us life to live a wonderful life. Why did you choose to die in the dark?!"

A row of clear tears slowly fell. At that moment, the heart was so painful that it could not breathe, and it was wonderful to live? Don't I want to live a wonderful life? But my life is no longer wonderful!

"Don't tie yourself down anymore, okay?..."

His voice suddenly softened, pleading with anticipation.

"Do you think I want to restrain myself? You don't know anything about my past. It's a darkness that people who live in the sun can never understand! How can I live if you let me live? I can't even get enough food and clothing. What can I do to save my broken life..."

Gao Zian's eyes turned red. He suddenly tore off my veil and raised his hand. The veil was blown into the sea by the sea breeze. Then, he pressed my shoulder and said firmly, "Listen to me. From this moment on, I will save your life..."

A month later, Gao Zian took me to the united states, and he contacted the best plastic surgeon for me. Maybe what awaited me would be another Ye Mengxin, another, new life.

Half a year later, I returned home and the surgery was successful. I no longer needed a veil. On the plane, I told Gao Zian my true identity. He was not angry or surprised at my deception, but he said faintly, "It doesn't matter who you are. It's important who I am in front of you. I can be who I am."

A warm ray of sunlight penetrated through the cracks of the white clouds into the cabin. The wine was on my face, and I spilled a smile brighter than the sun. I held his hand and said sincerely, "Zi an, thank you for saving my life from collapse..."

He leaned over and planted a kiss on my forehead. True love doesn't need interpretation, nor does it need gorgeous embellishments. Simple happiness is the greatest gain in life.

When we got off the plane, he and I were about to step into that mansion that I thought would never step into again. Ye Mengxin's life, from this moment on, was the real beginning...

Beyond: true love vs love

Memories are a city, as long as you live in the city, some people, some things, you can not easily forget.

There was still a month left before Fei Shaocheng was released from prison. These days, I wanted to talk to North city a few times, but I couldn't open my mouth because I was worried about his feelings.

My birthday was coming up and he asked me, "Jing Ya, what do you want?"

I said, "I don't want a gift, but I have a small wish..."

He was stunned for a moment, "Sure, just mention it."

"As long as I mention it, will you agree?"

He was stunned again, "Yeah."

"When Fei Shaocheng gets out of prison on july 6th, shall we go and pick him up?"

Someone's face suddenly changed color, "I may not have time."

"Honey, come on. I know you have a grudge against Shaocheng, but you know that he's in jail because of me. You agree because he sacrificed for me?"

"You can go with Tengyu."

He still refused, and I was immediately unhappy, "Ye Beicheng, are you a man? Your heart is smaller than a sesame seed. You're not going, are you? Okay, if you don't go, I'll go alone. If I go, I won't come back!"

He grunted unhappily, "Here we go again."

...

I knew he had a sharp tongue and a weak heart. He said he didn't have time. This day, as soon as I left the house, his car stopped in front of me, "Come on."

"Do you know where I'm going?" I asked on purpose.

"I know."

"I'm going to pick up Shaocheng?"

He pushed open the door and pulled me in, "That's a lot of nonsense."

I got out of the car and stared straight ahead. I waited for about 20 minutes, but Fei Shaocheng was not released.
