Chapter 174 (one hundred and seventy-four) Burden
Yan Moying was extremely surprised when he heard Yun Keyu's confession. He stood there without speaking and continued to look at Yun Keyu.
"Brother Moying, you...do you understand what I mean?" Yun Keyou asked.
Yan Moying knows that the person he cares about in the heart of Prince Zhaolin is Yun Keyu, and also knows that he and Yin Ruchen are in love. Therefore, although he understands that refusing immediately will hurt Yun Keyu, he must refuse decisively, otherwise he will treat Yin Ruchen in the future. Yun Keyu's damage will be greater. So he asked: "Keyou, do you understand His Highness the Crown Prince's feelings for you?"
"I understand, but I only regard him as my brother! He will always be my good brother!" Yun Keyou said.
"I understand what you mean, but I only regard you as my sister. Likewise, in my heart, you will always be my good sister." Yan Moying said.
Hearing these words, Yun Keyou burst into tears: "I was originally worried that changes in the world in five years might make the possible relationship between us impossible, but now I know that it has not started in those five years. At that time, it was already decided by you that it was impossible for us to have anything to do with each other.”
"Keyou..."
Yun Keyou wiped away her tears and said, seemingly strong and willful: "Although we are impossible in your eyes now, I will not give up. Even if you leave the palace, I will wait for you. You have been gone for a year , I will wait for one year. If you leave for two years, I will wait for two years... When five years pass, you will always come back! I was originally worried that the changes in the world would make the possible relationship between us impossible, but Now that this feeling seems impossible to you, I will think about it from another direction - maybe the changes in the world will make this impossible possible. No matter what, a person lives in hope! It’s better than being discouraged.”
"Ke You, we can't do it now or in the future! Don't wait for me, let me leave the palace with peace of mind, okay?" Yan Moying's tone seemed a little decisive.
"Will my waiting become a burden to you?" Yun Keyu asked.
"Yes. I don't want you to wait for a result that will never appear, and I don't want you to miss the opportunity you should have grasped because of doing something meaningless. It is better for a person to live in hope than to be discouraged. But when that person one day discovers that the so-called hope he has been living in for a long time is actually destined to be shattered, the disappointment will not only make people feel discouraged, but it may also make him despair or even despair! I saw you having such a day!" Yan Moying said.
"If living in hope results in more painful disappointment, by then, my previous waiting will become a burden for my life, right?" Yun Keyu seemed to understand.
"Of course!" Yan Moying said decisively, "Why let one person's waiting become a burden for two people?"
When Yun Keyou heard Yan Moying speak so simply, her heart felt as if she had been stabbed, but the sting made her think of something else: "Brother Moying, are you so sure about the future? Or... you have already thought about it in your heart. With someone else?"
"I know that what I say now will hurt you, but even if I don't say it now, I will say it in the future. It will be a matter of time before I hurt you. If I say it earlier, the harm to you will be much less. In order to make you give up now, I must tell you truthfully, I do have another person in my heart." Yan Moying said bluntly. (End of chapter)
