Chapter 63: The Fawning Was Pointless. (1/2)

Ziyu Ai stopped breathing for a moment, he couldn't see Zhishu's look clearly but only his emaciated figure. He stood straight and slightly aslant, hiding still behind the thick curtains.
Ziyu got upstairs, walked quietly to Zhishu. ”Want more strawberries?” He said behind him.
Zhishu slowly turned around and looked at Ziyu with a pair of eyes overflowing uncontainable emotions that were so complicated that Ziyu Ai couldn't even read. He shook his head, said nothing, and went straight back to his bedroom.
The moment he walked past him, Ziyu suddenly grabbed him by his wrist. ”Don't go... please?”
Zhishu He stopped and smiled, his eyes were gentle though. ”You asked me to take a nap and now I can't?”
Ziyu Ai eased his grip, he lowered his head, pressed his lips, like a kid being forced to do the things he hated. At last, he mumbled, ”Would you like to meet him... I... I'm okay with it.”
Ziyu Ai knew that Zhishu He loved Wenxu Jiang; he also knew that Zhishu He had a soft heart, that he might not come back again once the two of them met again. But he still respected his choice. Because he loved him, he didn't want him to live the last bit of his life regretfully and unhappily, and didn't want him to compromise too much.
Zhishu, instead, asked him back with surprise, ”Why would I want to meet him?”
Zhishu still remembered clearly the day that he decided to leave. He watched Wenxu walking away from upstairs; he just wanted to see his face but that man never looked back. Since Zhishu didn't get what he wanted, now Wenxu Jiang wouldn't either.
Indeed, he had a soft heart, but that was before. Something was late, then it was late, nothing could fix it. You couldn't ask a cup of cold water to steam, could you? Zhishu He found out that Wenxu was as cheap as him because they both tended to fawn on others after being given cold shoulder.
The fawning was pointless.
