Chapter 981: Love Is Sweet as Candy, Sweet Enough to Hurt (Part 1)
Su Weiyi’s fingers paused in mid-air, never lowering, as Sheng Yanxiao seemed very busy lately, rarely calling her, and seldom sending messages.
However, this was something He had told her before leaving, and Su Weiyi didn’t feel disappointed. It’s just that now, she doesn’t know what to say if she picks up. In fact, right now she’s inexplicably a bit afraid of facing Sheng Yanxiao, even across the phone.
The phone stopped ringing. Looking at the missed call, Su Weiyi felt an unprecedented sense of melancholy. Soon, the phone lit up again, this time with a message.
[Weiwei, I miss you.]
Her cheeks, illuminated by the phone’s glow, were instantly covered in tears.
Su Weiyi held the phone tightly, her whole body curled up, one hand hugging her knees.
Once, she carefully guarded the secret buried deep in her heart, fearing Sheng Yanxiao would find out.
Back then, Su Weiyi thought she was just afraid of him knowing. As for others, although she didn’t want them to know either, in the end, she was just afraid of Sheng Yanxiao finding out.
But later, Sheng Yanxiao gave her immense courage, making her truly feel like she was with him as his girlfriend, and along with that courage came the sweetness of love.
However, that day, watching her father on stage, defending her so much, with such might, so dotingly saying "my daughter", and today, her mother, with a face full of gentleness and pride saying "the Sheng Family’s daughter", those two statements, with the same meaning, completely shattered all the courage she had built up over this time.
She likes Sheng Yanxiao, Sheng Yanxiao likes her too.
But... can they really be together?
This question had always been lingering in her mind, though it was later suppressed by the sweetness of love. Now it resurfaced, becoming much heavier than before.
Su Weiyi recalled what others had said before, they weren’t blood-related, they weren’t truly siblings, so of course they could be together.
There’s nothing wrong with that statement, and during this time, she had always thought so.
But, that statement ultimately still had problems.
They could be together, but this "together" referred to love, not marriage.
She and Sheng Jianan love each other, there’s nothing wrong with that. They can have love, but they can’t have marriage.
Love is something between two people, it doesn’t need to consider others, but marriage isn’t just a matter between two people.
If this matter could always remain in the shadows, Su Weiyi was sure they would be very happy because they love each other.
But is it possible?
When two people are together, if they truly love each other, they will dream of the future. Sheng Yanxiao wanting to go public is nothing short of wanting a "future".
This "future" is marriage, is being lifelong partners.
Can they have a future?
How could Su Weiyi not have thought about it, maybe it was just her being too sensitive, maybe she could be a bit bolder, maybe she could care a little less.
Even if their parents are furious, even if their parents are heartbroken, even if their parents are disappointed in them, maybe she could learn to care less.
But such untroubledness, maybe Sheng Yanxiao could manage it, but she, Su Weiyi, could not.
Because they are not only her parents, they are her benefactors too, to her, they hold a greater, heavier, deeper kindness than her biological parents.
How could she repay kindness with enmity?
Love is sweet, so sweet that it makes her dizzy. If it weren’t for that day at the activity center, she might still be reeling from it, leading herself to eternal damnation.
