473 As long as theres love, it doesnst matter even if you are siblings! (2/2)
Mu Lengxi questioned in her grief.
”Hey, Lengxi, I like Speechless. The like between man and woman,” said Mu Yuesheng suddenly.
Mu Lengxi widened her eyes before reaching out her hands to cover her mouth.
”I've liked him from a very young age because he was always able to do things I couldn't. He would always bravely accomplish dreams that I did not even dare attempt. In my heart, he was a true hero.”
Mu Yuesheng said softly, ”Back then, when he stood in front of me, sounding his objection angrily at those adults and scathingly denouncing the unreasonable rules of the Mu family, my face was drenched in tears, but my heart was laughing in joy. That was because he had done something that I have backed out of despite having desperately endured and had a crazy wish to do so. So, from that moment onwards, I made up my mind that I would never back off against any matter... That is like how an ordinary girl likes him ordinarily.”
Her liking was so genuine that it prevented anyone from raising doubts against it.
Mu Lengxi's gaze gradually turned soft. Although she was astonished, it was not something she found it hard to accept.
”But...”
Clearly, what Mu Yuesheng wanted to say wasn't that. She sighed lightly before saying, ”But we are cousins. We are related by blood! So...I know my liking will not have any outcome. It's impossible for there to be an outcome! This is a liking that I had to give up sooner or later. In the end, all that will be left is grief, regret, and remorse...”
The words that took a sudden turn made Mu Lengxi furrow her brows tightly. She clenched her fists quietly and was about to open her mouth to say something. But upon recalling that she could not speak, her expression turned flustered.
That's not true.
It shouldn't be like that.
She shouted in her heart.
”But I still chose to like him.”
Suddenly, Mu Yuesheng gently smiled. She stretched out her hand to hold Mu Lengxi's tightly clenched fist. She whispered, ”Even if there's no outcome, and even if you will never be together, so what if you have to lie to him forever, preventing from ever knowing? Can all of this be more painful that forcing yourself to give up on that liking of yours? True regret is not that you cannot be together with him when you like him. It is when you like him so much but have to resolutely choose to give him up when the time comes.”
After having heard what Mu Yuesheng wanted to convey, Mu Lengxi's tightly clenched right fist gradually loosened.
”So, avoiding Shi Xiaobai does not mean giving up on your liking of him. That's because liking a person...doesn't necessarily mean you must be together.”
So, she had said so much just to tell her that.
She was truly a fool.
Mu Lengxi nodded her head vigorously!
Even if they were destined to never be together, there was no need to give up on her liking.
Yes, that's it!
The tears finally came to a stop.
Mu Yuesheng gave a gentle smile as she raised her hand to caress Mu Lengxi's head.
Since Speechless isn't around anymore, let me take care of his younger sister.
Come to think of it, I'm her elder cousin.
At that moment, Mu Lengxi suddenly turned around to pick up a writing board beside her. She picked up a pen and quickly scribbled on it.
Moments later, Mu Lengxi turned the writing board over.
Mu Yuesheng's expression changed drastically when she caught a glance of it.
The writing board read, ”That's not the case. Even if you are cousins, you can still be together. Brother doesn't care about things like blood-relations!”IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said ””, but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
