Chapter 195 - Chapter 195: Chapter One-Hundred and Ninety-Five: Undeserving (2/2)

Yun Nan noticed Xiang Yang’s tears but didn’t say a word. Fang Xi also saw and exchanged glances with Yun Nan. Neither of them pointed it out.

Xiang Yang lifted her head inadvertently and wiped away her tears. She smiled and told two girls, “I drank a little too much. I want to go back and sleep now.” Yun Nan stood up. “Alright, I’ll walk you back.”

Fang Xi also got up. “I’ll do it. You can’t leave; you’re the guest of honor today.”

On the other side, Ye Kun saw Fang Xi and Xiang Yang were about to leave and quickly squeezed his way over to them. Fang Xi instructed him, “Stay with Shi Nian, and don’t let him drink too much. But don’t drink too much yourself. Take care of Yun Nan and Shi Nian.” Ye Kun obeyed and sat back down in his seat obediently.

Fang Xi brought Xiang Yang back to the noodle shop. Yun Nan had already tidied up the shop’s second floor, and the two rooms were just enough for them to stay in.

Fang Xi helped Xiang Yang up the stairs. She knew Xiang Yang wasn’t drunk but had something on her mind, so she didn’t say anything and just accompanied her silently. The two brushed their teeth, showered, and sat on the balcony to dry their hair. Fang Xi made a pot of fruit tea.

Xiang Yang chuckled, “This place is so nice. I really want to stay here and not leave.”

Fang Xi poured her a cup of tea and smiled. “Sounds good, then we’ll agree to retire here in the future.”

Xiang Yang laughed. “Why wait for retirement? Why not now?”

Fang Xi mock-glowered at her. “You wish! We’re just common mortals who haven’t paid off our debts in the mortal world yet. We don’t have the right to retire. ”

Xiang Yang was silent. She sipped her tea, and the two of them swayed in their rocking chairs. There was only the sound of rocking chairs creaking and the noises of unknown insects.

“Fang Xi, do you love Ye Kun?” Xiang Yang suddenly asked softly.

Fang Xi gave it some thought before answering, “Frankly speaking, I don’t love him, not yet. But that’s not to say I won’t love him in the future. Ye Kun knows this; he said he’ll wait for me to fall in love with him.”

Xiang Yang nodded. “When you do fall in love with Ye Kun, you’ll have this inexplicable fear of loss. You’ll always be afraid of losing him, losing his love. It’s quite agonizing.”

Fang Xi nodded in agreement. “Yeah, people often fear losing the things they love too deeply.”

Xiang Yang didn’t speak. Fang Xi smiled. “Shi Ke loves you very much. Your love is a two-way street, so there’s no way you’ll lose his love. Don’t let your

imagination run wild.”

“But I don’t deserve him.” Xiang Yang said softly..
