Chapter 839: Untitled

An Xunuo walked past the camellias to the beach and saw Ye Ningyuan sitting on the beach, looking at the sea. She was slightly taken aback as she did not think that she would meet him at the beach.

The clear moonlight shone down, making the place hazy. His hair was slightly raised and his back view looked desolate. It was rare for her to see Ye Ningyuan’s mood so openly exposed, and her head felt even more painful. Somehow, she ended up walking toward him and sitting down beside him.

Ye Ningyuan turned and saw her. She had just gone to the camellia field and there was a light fragrance of the flower lingering on her. “Where did you go?”

“Casually walking around.”

Silence…

They sat side by side. An Xunuo turned her head to look at the ring on his hand. He held it tightly. The yellow gem in the middle had a blurry shine. Its color was light and was not very bright.

Even so, this ring was the brightest gem in the whole world to Ye Ningyuan.

Because it was someone he loved.She was really a little jealous of Xu Nuo, and An Xunuo was shocked by her own thoughts. She looked at the sea in a lost manner. Ye Ningyuan was calm, but she was very flustered. What happened to her?

She was getting weirder by the minute.

‘Stop it, An Xunuo. If not, you would be eternally doomed.’ She kept repeating to herself in her heart that she had to cut off such thoughts. She should cut it off before such thoughts spread through her body and became too dangerous.

The waves crashed on the beach and the dark tide kept surging up. Her heart felt like it was surrounded by something very dark, just like how the sea and sky had merged in the far distance away.

“Ye Ningyuan, do you think a dead or a living person is more important?”

“A living person,” Ye Ningyuan said.

“If you meet another lady that loves you like how Xu Nuo used to and not care about anything else, what would you do?” An Xunuo asked.

Ye Ningyuan looked at the sea and said calmly, “There is no one in this world that loves me like how she did.”“Oh, do you remember her because she loved you? But what if another woman died for you? Would you remember her forever too?” An Xunuo asked again.

Ye Ningyuan looked at her and frowned. “No!”

She sneered, her fingers slightly pricking her palm. “How would a seven-year-old child know what love is? Actually, regret was more important than love. If she was still alive and by your side for all these years, I’m afraid you might not love her as much as you do now. The love would be lost as time passes. Nothing is forever in this world.”

“You’re wrong,” Ye Ningyuan said calmly and held tightly to the ring. “If she was still alive, I would only love her and dote on her more as time passes. Maybe it will become a responsibility, but I will only love her more and not less than now. I have the responsibility to make sure she is happy for life.”

“I don’t know why I love Xu Nuo so much either. Maybe everyone will have such a person in their life, and it’s not because she died for me. Her death definitely made me remember her forever, but I had already planned to become stronger for her and not let her get beaten when she was still alive. I will love her and dote on her forever. We were still young back then and had never been through life and death. I also have many powerful friends, so I always thought Chu Li would be able to save us in time and we would be safe and out of danger. We would have a lot of time.”

“People would sniff at us when we talk about love since we were so young. I feel weird talking about it, but I really love her. Hehe, if Xu Nuo was still alive today, I might not tell her I love her to the point I could die for her. Even if I had to live like a walking dead, I would persevere as long as it’s her wish. I thought that we had a lot of time and did not need to make any promises as I could prove to her with actions how much I love her. Sadly, I was too young at that time and did not think that the lord would be so cruel. If time could rewind, then maybe everything would be different.”

Ye Ningyuan did not know if it was because he came to Paradise Island or because he was holding onto the ring, but he talked a lot today. He usually didn’t talk about Xu Nuo.

Every time he talked about her, it was as if tearing his wound apart.

Tonight, he talked a lot about it.“I don’t understand your love,” An Xunuo said. “I still think that a living person is more important than a dead person. If one lives in their memory forever, the person’s life is wasted forever.”

“So what? My life is already wasted,” Ye Ningyuan said.

No matter how good his life seemed, it was useless. His heart had already been filled with wounds after so many years of waiting and desperation. He suffered another blow because of Silver Cloud and was really desperate and tired.

“You’re really…” An Xunuo felt angry for no reason. She gritted her teeth and turned her head to not look at him. She did not know what to say to him and suddenly had a scary thought…

How nice it would be if she was the one that died for him.

She was shocked by this thought and her face looked bad. How could she be so useless and think of that? She must be crazy. He was only being gentle to her for around ten days. ‘An Xunuo, you’re really unpromising.’

She sneered and it showed on her face.

Cold and lonely.

“Ye Ningyuan, do you really intend to be alone for the rest of your life?” An Xunuo asked.

“Who knows?” Ye Ningyuan said calmly. He looked up at the moon and looked lonely. “Nobody knows what will happen the next second. Maybe…”He frowned and looked at her. “You’re so talkative today.”

He suddenly changed the topic and An Xunuo was caught by surprise. She wanted to know what he was about to say, but he became his usual gentle self. She gritted her teeth. This guy had a tight mouth. If not for this ring, he might not even tell her so much about Xu Nuo tonight.

Ye Ningyuan sensed that she was weird too. He puckered his lips and An Xunuo sneered. “Do you have an opinion about it?”

“Why are you suddenly so interested in my love life?” He said it word by word softly and his deep gaze landed on An Xunuo’s face as if wanting to figure something out. But, he only saw pale coldness.

“I just suddenly feel that it’s a scary thing when men are so infatuated,” An Xunuo said. “A lot of effort is needed in order for them to let their guard down.”

Ye Ningyuan darkened his eyes.
