Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

Chapter 220 Love is not a necessity for me.

"You haven't been going to see that flower girl lately,"

The night was as still as water, and the moonlight gently spilled down. The two sat in the quiet courtyard. Under the silvery glow, Huo Muchen's figure appeared even more upright. He took a sip of tea, and the aroma of the tea seemed to carry a touch of the cool moonlight.

Huo Muchen glanced at Gu Heng beside him, his eyes filled with a mixture of teasing and curiosity.

He knew that Gu Heng's love life had been full of twists and turns, which made him curious about what kind of attitude and thoughts the girl had towards him this time.

Gu Heng sighed helplessly and glared at Huo Muchen:

"Screw you, I'm serious this time, I'm trying my best to catch up."

"Then why don't you go work for her? What are you doing following me around all day?"

Huo Muchen raised an eyebrow, clearly doubting Gu Heng's words.

Gu Heng took a deep breath and said seriously:

“Her boss was in a car accident and twisted his ankle. It’s been several days now. She’s been busy at the shop from morning till night lately. I don’t want to bother her after get off work and want her to go home and rest as soon as possible.”

Huo Muchen paused for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help but think of the girl he had seen lying on the ground after a car accident a few days ago. He felt a little confused, but then nodded and continued to joke:

"I see. You're quite considerate this time."

Gu Heng glared at him:

"I've always been considerate, you just haven't noticed."

The two men picked up their teacups, clinked them together, and then drank them down in one gulp. As night deepened, their mood remained exceptionally relaxed.

Judging from Gu Heng's expression, Huo Muchen seemed to be truly moved this time.

"So what do you plan to do? Just keep giving silently like this?"

Huo Muchen asked.

Gu Heng shook his head:

"No, I want her to know how I feel. Once her boss recovers, I'll find a suitable opportunity to confess my feelings to her."

Huo Muchen patted Gu Heng on the shoulder:

"Go for it, I believe in you. But you have to be careful, don't scare people away like you did before when you confessed your feelings."

Gu Heng rolled her eyes at him:

"Don't worry, I'm confident this time."

"Don't talk about me. You've been seeing that minor celebrity for quite a while now. How about it? Have you even the slightest bit fallen for her?"

As soon as Gu Heng finished speaking, a night breeze blew gently, bringing a soft rustling sound, as if even the wind was listening curiously.

Huo Muchen paused for a moment, then shook his head:

“We only see each other once or twice a month. Every time, she is well-behaved and knows her place, unlike those girls who only know how to demand status and make requests.”

Gu Heng nodded.

"Indeed, she seems quite nice, and you can sense her sincerity towards you. You're not getting any younger, and your aunt and uncle have been urging you to get married. If it doesn't work out, then go for her."

Huo Muchen looked up at the bright moon, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He said softly:

"You talk as if you're very young. You're only a year younger than me."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and gently shook his head.

"However, if she continues to be so sensible and innocent, whether it's her or Xu Xiaofan, as my parents have always said, it's all the same to me."

Looking at Huo Muchen's nonchalant demeanor, Gu Heng felt a complex mix of emotions. He understood that Huo Muchen might never be able to love any woman other than Liu Shiyin again.

The deep-seated pain in his heart caused Huo Muchen to lose trust in love. His heart seemed to be frozen, and he could no longer feel warmth.

Gu Heng sighed softly and said:

"Mu Chen, I know how deeply Liu Shiyin hurt you, but you can't give up on pursuing love because of that. Life is long, and you'll always meet someone worth loving."

Huo Muchen shook his head with a wry smile:

"I have no expectations for love anymore. It doesn't matter to me who I date or marry. I've met so many women, but I've never felt that spark again."

Gu Heng sighed as he looked at Huo Muchen's dejected appearance. He patted Huo Muchen on the shoulder and said:

"Mu Chen, I believe that time will heal all wounds. One day, you will meet someone who will make you believe in love again."

Huo Muchen was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, looked into Gu Heng's eyes, and said:

"Love is not a necessity for me; whether I have it or not is unimportant."
