I Want A Lifetime With You

Su Shaoqing’s mouth twitched once again, “Of course not! If she’s married and happy, then this is the best outcome for her.”

“You better say it like you mean it.”

Pei Jingxiu moved his eyes away from Su Shaoqing and looked out of the window, “There’s no point clinging onto things that are not yours. Since you have already given her up, you need to learn to let her go. I’m telling you this because I want you to move on.”

“Well, that’s very nice of you.” Su Shaoqing grinned, “I’ve moved on. I’m glad she’s happy. Even if she’s not, it’s none of my business anymore.” Su Shaoqing let out a sigh, “You don’t have to test me, Jingxiu. I can never be as cruel as you.”

Pei Jingxiu tilted his head and glanced at Su Shaoqing.

He’s still young, after all. That’s why he loses control of himself easily when he’s provoked. I’m not surprised. Pei Jingxiu was still holding the cigarette in his hand, “I didn’t tell Fu Chengyan about this. I guess he wouldn’t want her to be back either.”

Su Shaoqing put on a half-smile, “Then why did you tell me? I have nothing to do with her anymore since our relationship has ended.” Su Shaoqing took in a deep breath, “Well, at least I know now.”

Pei Jingxiu nodded, “What time is our dinner?”

“8 pm! We’ll go once they warmed up the place.”

“I’ll take a nap first then.” Pei Jingxiu gave Su Shaoqing a tap on his shoulder before going upstairs.

As he watched the back of Pei Jingxiu’s slender body getting further away, a poignant memory popped up in his mind and caused him to lose the smile on his face.

He turned around, looked out the window, just as how Pei Jingxiu did earlier and saw a sudden breeze blowing away some dried leaves that had just fallen from the tree.

This barren winter landscape reminded him of an incident that had happened in the courtyard many years ago. On that particular day, Su Shaoqing, who was still a teenager, skipped school and roamed around the city the whole day. As he was on his way home, he heard someone crying.

It was the voice of a child who was pleading for help as she was incapable of getting down from a tall tree.

He was not a nosey parker, but on that day, his inquisitive spirit led him to enter the courtyard of a stranger’s residence. He stood beneath the tree and saw a little girl trapped up there.

His memory of the little girl was clear. She was not pleasant-looking, and her face was all covered in tears and mucus that dripped from her nostrils. Just when Su Shaoqing was about the leave, the little girl shrieked even louder, “Please help me!”
