Chapter 766 Official (1)

Standing under the cherry blossom tree, Zixin had his eyes closed. A cold and pleasant breeze blew past his face and he slowly inhaled it.

“I cannot believe you can be so stupid!”

He suddenly opened his eyes and froze. In front of him he saw ‘Guiying.’ A tremble passed through his body. He knew it was just his imagination or was it not?

“I thought you were a bold and shameless man but what happened to you?” ‘She’ sneered.

His throat went dry as he watched ‘her’ sneer at him. It was the familiar voice and the familiar gaze which he always knew.

“Didn’t you always shamelessly approach Guiying and take advantage of every chance you got? Now what happened? You are already supposed to be lovey-dovey and cuddly and touchy. So what the fuck are you waiting for? It’s so pathetic that you forced me to come here to brainwash you! I have never been so frustrated before I tell you!”

Zixin pursed his lips and whispered. “We miss you.”

“Of course you should. I never told you to forget me duh,” ‘she’ rolled her eyes. “But at the same time, I didn’t tell you to get all wrapped up in my memories either such that you two become slowpokes! Oh gosh, you have the most turtle paced love story ever!”

“…”

‘She’ folded her arms. “And who told you to feel guilty for me? Did I tell you? When I bid you goodbye, was there any part in my long-assed talking where I blamed you? So why are you feeling regretful when I don’t need it in the first place? What I hate the most is pity and you are giving me exactly that. You and Guiying both. It’s not leaving your side but your sympathy is what hurting me the most,” ‘she’ clenched her jaw. “So throw that out of the window and kiss her already! Or trust me, I will really curse your love story to sink.”

“Zixin!”

Zixin turned and saw Guiying rushing towards him. She stopped at a few feet of distance from him, huffing and puffing. She sucked in a mouthful of air, feeling breathless.

“There. That idiot is here too finally,” ‘Guiying’ smiled in disdain. “Guess she also got enlightenment. She had been so miserable, it was painful to watch. God I wanted to smack her so hard. You two really know how to provoke the violence inside me.”

His mouth twitched.

Guiying raised her head and looked at him, her restless breaths beginning to calm down. “I…I want to talk about something important and I know that you might not agree with me o-or that you still feel that all this is pointless, but I really feel that our guilt, this is not how ‘she’ wants to see us.”

“Oh she finally seems to be saying intelligent things,” ‘her’ mouth twitched.

“I always thought that this was selfish and simply convenient to convince ourselves just so that we could get rid of ‘her’ feelings and sacrifice…”

“Huh? What sacrifice?” ‘Guiying’ looked back incredulously. “Excuse me, I am not the type of person to make sacrifices. I went away simply because it was time. Aren’t you two thinking too deeply about it? OMG I want to really smack her!”

Zixin looked away.

‘Her’ eyes narrowed. “You thought the same thing, didn’t you?”

He stiffened and didn’t reply.

Guiying watched his averted gaze and stiffening posture and she bit her lip. “Zixin, I have been stupid.”

“Yeah definitely,” ‘she’ nodded without missing a beat.

“Our distance and hesitation is not making ‘her’ happy at the slightest.”

‘She’ gasped. “You finally get it? Shall I burst the poppers in celebration now?”

Guiying sucked in a deep breath once again. The sound of her heartbeats drummed in her ears as she faced him. “That’s why…

I want to make it official, Zixin.”

Zixin shook hard.

“And it was important that I strike this conversation instead of you. You cherish ‘her’ and you wouldn’t have…you couldn’t have been able to say the things that I said just now and take a step forward.”

“Forward? You two have been stuck in the damn same place for ages now. I feel like an old lady already,” ‘Guiying’ threw vicious glares at Zixin as ‘she’ blasted out her bitterness.

Zixin felt a blazing heat from ‘her’ aura.

“Now you know what to say, don’t you?” ‘she’ squinted her eyes. “You do, right?”

Zixin peered his gaze into Guiying’s beautiful eyes and nodded. “I do…”

Guiying felt like Zixin uttered something but she couldn’t quite catch it. Zixin closed the distance between them and watched the cherry blossom petals fluttering past her figure. It was mesmerizing just like the first time he had watched her in the hospital.

Guiying pressed her lips harder, tears threatening to spill out of her irises. “You might still think I am selfish. But truly this is-”

She stopped with Zixin’s palm slowly reaching out to cup her cheek. “You are not selfish, Guiying. But yes, we have been silly.”

“Idiots is the better word,” ‘she’ sneered. “Silly is going soft.”

His brow twitched again. He cleared his throat and continued. “I also finally realize that we have been hurting ‘her’ immensely. Then I wondered just like you if I was saying things out of convenience, but then I imagined ‘her’ standing before me and talking to me. Imagining what ‘she’ would say to me. And then I could see the picture of ‘her’ fuming out lava of anguish and fury at me. It felt really hot and burning, you know. It still feels super hot.”

“…”

Guiying couldn’t really understand the last sentence. ‘Guiying’ only sneered.

“We have burdened ‘her’ with our unnecessary regret and emotions and now it’s the time to shed those feelings. So now, I will do what will make ‘her’ the happiest. Make it official.”

Zixin leaned in and captured Guiying’s lips in a full swoop as if there was no tomorrow.

‘Guiying’ smiled, watching their invisible walls finally crumble as they came together.

“Yup, that looks so much better rather than seeing you like tragic Romeo and Juliet. Congratulations, you two,” ‘she’ whispered and with ‘her’ gaze filled with warmth and satisfaction, ‘she’ slowly drifted away.𝑖𝘦𝑎.𝗇t
