Chapter 57: The Anxious Ning Mengru
Mingyan looked at Ning Feixuan, his face very calm. In Ning Feixuan’s expectant eyes, Mingyan uttered a few words.
“I can’t respond to your feelings.”
Ning Feixuan looked at Mingyan. Her eyes, which had not been very bright to begin with, completely dimmed.
Mingyan’s face was too calm, without even a hint of struggle. How could Ning Feixuan see through Mingyan’s thoughts?
Although in her heart, Ning Feixuan was already prepared to be rejected and then to continue to persist, to be rejected so calmly still made Ning Feixuan feel extremely depressed.
Ning Feixuan had her hands behind her back, trying to force a smile. “Hmm… hmm… I… I know.”
Mingyan looked at Ning Feixuan, was silent for a while, and said, “I’m sorry.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about,” Ning Feixuan’s smile was very forced. If it weren’t for her natural beauty, which had reached a certain realm, her expression would probably not be very good now, right?
And her mood was probably even sadder. Even Mingyan didn’t dare to think about how sad she was in her heart at this moment.
But after rejecting her, Mingyan’s heart had a hint of a retaliatory pleasure that he found a little hard to admit.
It was precisely because of this that Mingyan suddenly found that he had not let go at all.
Although Mingyan had rejected Ning Feixuan, in his own view, there were many reasons. One of them was because of Yue Ningshuang’s existence. Mingyan already had this kind of relationship with Ning Feixuan’s senior sister. And, according to Mingyan’s own considerations, the relationship between Yue Ningshuang and Ning Feixuan was probably not that good. If there was really a conflict, in Mingyan’s heart, the current Yue Ningshuang was naturally more important. It was not wrong for Mingyan to give up his friendship with Ning Feixuan for her.
But… Mingyan had still discovered something.
He was actually an extremely proud person. It was just that Mingyan had probably hidden it too well, so much so that he himself had not discovered it.
“You just rejected her like that. Yan’er is really cruel.”
At this time, a familiar voice sounded in Mingyan’s heart. It was his sister, Wang Qingchu!
Wang Qingchu’s voice was gentle and moving, seeming to carry a faint smile. Mingyan replied, “Does my sister think I’m petty… just now when I rejected Ning Feixuan, I actually felt a little happy in my heart.”
“Petty? She herself rejected you before. To get such a result, one can only say that she brought it on herself,” Wang Qingchu smiled sweetly. She had never said that Mingyan had done anything wrong. Only when Mingyan didn’t know what to do would Wang Qingchu teach him. And if Mingyan had his own thoughts, then Wang Qingchu would definitely not lecture Mingyan, but would unconditionally think that Mingyan was right.
Wang Qingchu could always find all kinds of reasons.
“…Sister, I miss you,” Mingyan was silent for a while, and only then did he reply in his heart.
“Then come to Yaochi to see me. The one waiting for you at Yaochi now is not just me, you know?” Wang Qingchu smiled slightly.
That’s right. There’s also Yue Ningshuang waiting for me…
Before entering the dream, Mingyan had not thought that he would like Yue Ningshuang so much. But the Yue Ningshuang in the dream, who had given unconditionally and was almost completely obedient to him, who wouldn’t like her?
Thinking of this, Mingyan’s heart became even more firm.
In fact, it wasn’t just Wang Qingchu who was watching here. Ning Mengru was also watching here through the Mandarin Duck mirror. Seeing Ning Feixuan directly say her thoughts, Ning Mengru’s heart immediately turned half cold. This silly disciple. How can you just say it out loud?
Sure enough, Mingyan soon rejected her. This made Ning Mengru a little dumbfounded. She had done so much for her disciple. But it turned out that this disciple had directly confessed and almost ruined Ning Mengru’s layout.
No, no! I must bring Ning Feixuan back immediately. Ning Mengru was silent for a moment. Counting the time, the elders of Yaochi should also be arriving at Wind Spirit Moon Shadow soon. This disciple of hers was good at everything, but she was clumsy in matters of love.
“…Did I waste your time? Your senior sister said just now that she wanted you to find her after you were done. You should go,” Ning Feixuan smiled. The forced smile from just now seemed a little better, much more natural. But the lotus on her forehead, which had not been so bright to begin with, was even more withered, as if it was about to wither.
Mingyan saw it in his eyes, and his heart felt an indescribable… pity.
Mingyan knew that Ning Feixuan was forcibly enduring the sadness in her heart, perhaps to cover up her embarrassment, or perhaps to let him not have a psychological burden for rejecting her. Ning Feixuan did not show her true emotions.
Mingyan did not turn and leave. He looked at Ning Feixuan and let out a long breath. “It’s a pity that we fell in love with each other at the wrong time. Or perhaps, I didn’t insist long enough. I’m sorry I can’t respond to your feelings. I know you’re very sad, and I’m the culprit of all this. There’s no need to suppress your emotions. If you want to scold me, then scold me. Saying it out loud will always make it a little easier.”
Ning Feixuan pursed her lips. She looked at Mingyan, trying hard to control her expression and emotions. But her eyes gradually became moist. She couldn’t control it anymore.
The clearer one said it, the clearer one understood, the more one could feel the regret.
If Ning Feixuan had been moved a little earlier, if Mingyan had insisted a little longer, would the two of them still be like this?
The sad thing in this world was not that you were moved by him, but he was indifferent. It was that he had clearly been moved by you before, and when you woke up, when you came back to your senses, when you wanted to respond and tell him your true thoughts, he had already… given up.
In the end, Ning Feixuan still couldn’t hold it in. Her eyes turned red, and tears flowed down her cheeks. She asked with extreme humility, “…You… can you… can you give me… give me one more chance? I was ignorant before… if you give me one more chance… I definitely won’t be so stupid again…”
Mingyan looked at Ning Feixuan. It was undeniable that his heart was moved with compassion. But some things, once changed, were changed. There was no way to start over.
Mingyan opened his mouth, was about to refuse, and at this time, Yue Wu Xia suddenly said, “Mingyan, come in for a moment.”
Seeing Mingyan open his mouth, his eyes serious to the point of being cold, Ning Feixuan’s heart was like dead ashes, tears streaming down like rain, waiting for her judgment. And just as Mingyan was about to speak, he heard Yue Wu Xia’s voice. His throat, which was about to make a sound, was as if it were mute, and no sound came out.
Mingyan was actually still not willing to hurt Ning Feixuan. It was just that Ning Feixuan seemed to still be unwilling to wake up…
Mingyan looked at Ning Feixuan, turned, and walked towards Yue Wu Xia’s room.
And Ning Feixuan looked at Mingyan’s back, stunned again and again. Although he had not said it out loud, Ning Feixuan actually already knew Mingyan’s thoughts…
But, in the end, Mingyan still hadn’t said it out loud, right…?
At this time, an elder of Yaochi landed on the immortal island. The elder stopped the dazed Ning Feixuan and told her that Ning Mengru had summoned her to return to Yaochi immediately for an important matter.
Ning Feixuan bit her lip, looked at Yue Wu Xia’s residence, and finally left with reluctance.
This answer, it’s better not to know!
