180: Bai Susu’s sadness (ಥ﹏ಥ), it turns out that Lin Xuan doesn’t love me!

“Let the past fade with the wind~~”

“Let it take away the sorrow, take away the pain~~”

“Bring back the dream of dusk~~”

“Flowers bloom and fall~~”

“Clouds will drift away~~”

“Filling the sky~~”

“While you smile by my side~~”

...As Su Fan and the other two entered the villa, a faint, ethereal singing reached their ears.

φ(0￣*) La la la _φ(*￣0￣)′

The familiar voice was deep and magnetic, like a flowing stream, clear and full of emotion.

All three were momentarily stunned.

Chen Kexin and Su Fan were the first to react; being experienced, they naturally recognized that Lin Xuan was singing.

Only Bai Susu... was instantly captivated by the enchanting melody, utterly mesmerized.

It sounds so good~~

Who is singing, after all?

And this song... why have I never heard it before? But this voice is so familiar... The more Bai Susu listened, the more familiar it became; she felt like she had heard it somewhere before.

“How come it sounds so much like Brother Lin Xuan’s voice?”

“Impossible, I don’t think so!”

“Brother Lin Xuan is clearly tone-deaf; he couldn’t possibly sing such a moving song…”

Recalling the scene from her birthday, when Lin Xuan sang her a birthday song in a voice as unpleasant as a crow’s squawk.

Bai Susu was 95% certain that the singer was definitely not Lin Xuan.

But the next second, she was puzzled again... If it wasn’t him, why was the voice so similar?

Just then.

Chen Kexin, who was beside her, grabbed her arm and hurried upstairs.

“Let’s go! Onii-chan, that guy, is secretly singing new songs again while I’m not around~~~”

“(〃＞ dish＜) Darn it! And he dares to say he’s hit a creative block?! He hasn’t released any new songs lately…”

“Doesn’t he know that his fans are eagerly waiting every day? That hateful Onii-chan~~”

“…”

Looking at the little loli’s retreating figure and replaying her words... Bai Susu couldn’t help but widen her eyes ┌(.Д.)┐, the more she thought about it, the more terrifying it became!!!

There was simply too much information in her words.

Was the singer really Lin Xuan?

And fans... creative block... new songs... and this familiar voice... Bai Susu had an incredible guess... Could the musical genius who had risen to prominence these days, her favorite idol [L]... actually be Lin Xuan in disguise?!

Only now.

Bai Susu finally realized. Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

This singing... isn’t it exactly like [L]’s voice???

As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, the two girls had already disappeared at the staircase... As for Su Fan, who was trailing behind, he tilted his head, pondering for a moment.

Ultimately, he put his hands in his pockets and slowly followed them to the second floor.

It had been a while since he had seen his little sister.

Long time no see, he missed her dearly.

As an older brother, he was a bit worried about his sister and also wanted to understand how her current condition was, how her recovery was progressing... After all, lying in bed like this indefinitely wasn’t a solution, was it?

Logically speaking... Lin Xuan had been treating her for so long, his little sister should have shown some significant progress in her recovery... There was no reason for her to still be in a coma and unable to move in bed, was there?!

Had there been a problem with the treatment process? Or had his previous judgment been wrong?

“If the massage therapy continues to have no effect…”

“Perhaps I’ll have to step in; we can’t drag this out indefinitely…”

Thinking this, Su Fan followed the two girls’ footsteps and arrived at the familiar bedroom door.

At this moment.

Beautiful singing continuously emanated from the room, and the song had reached its climax... “I thought I had forgotten longing~~”

“But facing the sunset, I hope you return today~~”

“I remember cupping your face~~”

“Between my hands~~ quietly looking into your eyes~~”

“Like autumn leaves, gentle to the whole world~~”

“I want to be by your side~~”

“I want to be by your side~~”

“I want to be by your side~~”

...Pushing open the door.

The beautiful melody of the music washed over them.

What met their eyes... was also the festive red wedding room, decorated everywhere with happiness... On the ceiling hung a magnificent crystal chandelier, emitting a warm glow, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

The walls were covered with red wallpaper, adorned with golden patterns, adding a luxurious and elegant atmosphere to the entire wedding room.

A red carpet covered the floor, soft and comfortable, as if a sea of happiness was spread beneath their feet.

The large red windows also had red curtains, embroidered with golden dragon and phoenix patterns.

Sunlight streamed through the curtains into the room, instantly filling the entire space with a warm and bright feeling.

Turning their gaze to the window, they saw a beautiful small garden, with flowers blooming and birds singing, as if blessing the newlyweds.

Compared to the simple and plain room they had seen on previous visits... the wedding room now was decorated like a scene from a fairy tale, full of dreamlike colors.

This scene made a look of awe flash in the eyes of Su Fan and the two girls.

“It’s so beautiful~~~”

Bai Susu’s eyes were misty, full of envy.

The decoration of this room almost perfectly matched the wedding room she had once imagined.

She had thought more than once of being in such a romantic wedding room... dressed in a beautiful wedding gown, accompanied by the prince she deeply loved.

After exchanging vows of eternal togetherness... she would dedicate her future, her life, and a girl’s precious first time... to him... Beside her, Chen Kexin’s cherry lips were agape in an “O” shape.

“Wow~~”

“I’m so envious of Onii-chan~~”

“I also want to cuddle with Sister Qingge in such a romantic room~~~”

Both girls were lost in reverie due to the exquisite beauty of the wedding room.

Only Su Fan’s eyes held a strange glint, even a hint of pain, a touch of guilt.

He was once again reminded of five years ago... the woman who had saved him from the big fire... She had also settled him in a red room and meticulously cared for him for a long time.

But at that time, he had suddenly undergone a great change, and his psychology was twisted.

To vent the pain and desires in his heart, he had done unforgivable things to the woman who had helped him... In that red room, he ignored her cries... and raped her... “I am truly worse than a beast…”

Su Fan was filled with immense guilt.

He really wanted to see that benefactor again, to sincerely kneel and apologize to her, to give her everything she wanted as compensation... Just as Su Fan was lost in painful memories, his eyes unfocused!

Bai Susu had already eagerly shifted her gaze to the wedding bed.

The scene she witnessed caused an involuntary pang in her heart.

The large red bed was covered with red silk quilts, embroidered with exquisite patterns and auspicious designs, symbolizing the sweet and lasting love of the newlyweds.

On the bed lay a pair of large red pillows, embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks, symbolizing the sweet and harmonious love of the newlyweds.

And at this moment, Lin Xuan was leaning against the pillows, holding a guitar, playing a moving melody.

He wore a loose white shirt, the collar slightly open, revealing his collarbone and firm chest.

His hair was gently ruffled by the breeze from the window, sometimes covering his eyes, sometimes dancing on his forehead.

His fingers skillfully plucked the guitar strings, and music flowed like water from his fingertips, filling the entire room.

His gaze was constantly focused on the girl lying down, his eyes filled with deep affection and tenderness, as if silently conversing with her... expressing... that no matter when or where, he would always be by her side, never leaving her.

And the girl lying quietly on the wedding bed wore a light blue dress, accentuating her fair skin and slender figure.

Her hair was casually spread on the pillow, soft as silk, emitting a faint fragrance.

Her eyes were bright and lively, sparkling like stars.

She was blushing, gazing at the young man beside her with eyes full of affection, her gaze as gentle as water.

In this warm scene, time seemed to have frozen.

The room was filled only with the aura of love, like a touching melody, making those who witnessed it feel that happiness and warmth... “Brother Lin Xuan... the one you love isn’t me…”

No words were needed.

Bai Susu’s expression was forlorn; she instantly understood this reality.

After waiting all night, she had initially felt resentment, and even had many questions she wanted to ask Lin Xuan... But when she looked up and saw the two pairs of deeply gazing eyes not far away.

Bai Susu suddenly had nothing left but silence.

The eyes are the windows to the soul, and they do not lie.

Those two pairs of eyes had clearly told her a cruel truth... No matter how much Lin Xuan had loved her before, at least today, the woman he loved was no longer her!

She had already lost.

In this silent battle of love... she had lost to Su Qingge, and she had lost completely and utterly, bruised and battered... Thinking of this.

For some reason, Bai Susu felt a pang in her nose and an urge to cry profusely.

Especially as thoughts flooded her mind... She thought of the time she and Lin Xuan had spent together, the moments they had read together, chatted together, shared dreams... Those beautiful memories now turned so bitter in her heart.

“Why, Brother Lin Xuan? Didn’t you used to say you would always protect only me?”

“Big liar! You clearly said I was your forever piggy girl, and you would be my guardian knight for life!”

“Why did you change your heart in such a short time? And you’ve become so unfamiliar!”

“Are you really the Brother Lin Xuan I knew... that gentle one?”

“…”

Bai Susu’s emotions surged abnormally; she stood rooted to the spot, at a loss.

This was the first time in her life she had experienced the taste of heartbreak.

Is this... the love often mentioned in movies?

But why did the protagonists’ love look so sweet? So happy?

Yet all I feel right now... is pain?!!!

Among the three.

Both Su Fan and Bai Susu, for their respective reasons, felt varying degrees of... pain!

It hurt so much!!!

Only the chuunibyou girl Chen Kexin, carefree and always believing in “a cheerful face brings good fortune.”

After noticing that Su Qingge had opened her big, beautiful eyes... ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ.

“Sister Qingge, (*^▽^*) you’re awake~~”

The little loli was overjoyed ╰(*°▽°*)╯, bouncing to the side of the wedding bed.

︿(￣︶￣)︿ A flying pounce~~

She directly pounced onto the bed, pushing Lin Xuan away and rubbing her face against Su Qingge’s.

[Ke Xin, you’re here.]

Su Qingge’s gaze was gentle as she carefully looked at the little loli pressing down on her.

This was the first time she had seen her appearance since she fell into a coma.

Hmm... still so small, so cute, →_→ so perverted... Noticing a small hand kneading her chest, Su Qingge couldn’t hold back anymore.

Especially in front of Lin Xuan... She quickly glared at the mischievous little loli, warning her with embarrassment and anger.

(－＂－ anger).

But this “eye-roll” had no deterrent effect whatsoever.

Instead, it encouraged Chen Kexin to take advantage, showering the tender white cheek with a barrage of “smoochy” kisses.

“Sister Qingge’s eyes are so beautiful! You’re going to steal my soul~~~”

“(๑′ᴗ‵๑) I Lᵒᵛᵉᵧₒᵤ♦ Xinxinzi loves you so much~~”

“ლ(°◕‵ƹ′◕ლ) Kisses~~ (づ￣3￣)づ╭♦～”

At this, Lin Xuan, who was beside them, also couldn’t sit still.

He hadn’t even kissed her so wildly yet... You little brat, you got there first, that’s too much!

Are you pretending I, the legitimate husband, don’t exist???

And you dared to push me away, bullying an honest man?!

Hmph, this is truly unbearable!!!

Lin Xuan’s face was full of displeasure; he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the little loli’s twin pigtails, one on each side, pulling her head up high... “Hey, hey, hey (#`O′), are you pretending I don’t exist?! You’re committing an offense in front of your husband!”

“Get off me right now, and (• ́へ • ́ ╬)... who told you to wear your little leather shoes on the bed, you’ve dirtied the quilt~~”

“…”

Facing authoritarian oppression, Chen Kexin resisted to the death, grabbing Su Qingge’s arm and refusing to let go.

“I won’t, Yamete o(＞﹏＜)o~~ There’s a pervert~~”

...At the doorway to the room.

Watching the two playfully wrestling on the bed, Bai Susu’s expression grew even more forlorn.

She suddenly realized... whether in the past or now, when Lin Xuan was with her, he had never shown such a smile as he did today.

Come to think of it... she herself, it seemed, had never truly cared about Lin Xuan’s feelings, only indulged in the tenderness he offered.

Am I... getting what I deserve???
