Chapter 191: 191. Strings, suddenly broken
Song Qinghuan spoke nervously, cautiously observing Shi Yuhuan for any reactions.
Aside from his deepening breaths, there was no response at all. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Song Qinghuan was becoming frantic. Could it be that Shi Yuhuan didn’t understand what she was saying?
But she had already hinted so clearly! What to do? They had come this far, maybe she should just say it outright!!
Clenching her fists, Song Qinghuan decided to throw caution to the wind.
She suddenly stood up, gathered all her courage and yelled, “Shi Yuhuan, starting from your birthday this year, can I accompany you for every birthday onwards?”
After saying those words, Song Qinghuan felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. She had finally voiced it out.
Although she was worried that Shi Yuhuan would reject her, wasn’t there a saying that it’s better to face death than to live in torment?
Even though it was a straightforward statement, it could still be taken back. Friends could also accompany each other for a lifetime of birthdays, couldn’t they?
Shi Yuhuan continued to sit still, remaining eerily silent.
Song Qinghuan’s heart clenched tighter. Oh god, she felt like her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
What should she do? Why wasn’t he saying anything?
She was very anxious, all her attention was on Shi Yuhuan’s face, keenly observing even the smallest change in his expression.
However, Shi Yuhuan’s expression didn’t change at all, giving away nothing.
But if Song Qinghuan hadn’t been so nervous, perhaps she would have noticed the stiffness in Shi Yuhuan’s body.
If she weren’t sitting across from Shi Yuhuan with a table between them, she could have seen that Shi Yuhuan’s fists by his sides were clenched.
His veins were bulging, the pale knuckles creaking from the tension.
That cold silence made Song Qinghuan feel somewhat dejected.
She didn’t know what Shi Yuhuan’s silence was implying.
With a sigh, she became somewhat uneasy and a little angry. She lowered her eyes and started to put the candles in the cake, preparing to light them one by one.
While she was doing this, she was wondering if she should say to him: “If you are okay with it, blow out all the candles.”
In his eyes flashed a moment of immense pain. Suddenly, Shi Yuhuan stood up, sweeping the cake off the table before Song Qinghuan could even light the candles.
Thud!!! The cake fell to the floor, the cream and cake crumbs scattered everywhere.
Song Qinghuan turned pale with fright, her mind went blank as if a string inside her had just snapped!
This reaction was beyond her wildest expectations.
She was completely shocked, now staring at Shi Yuhuan as if he were a ghost.
In an instant, Shi Yuhuan seemed to have turned into a different person. His handsome face was tense and horribly pale.
He was glaring at her, his deep eyes filled with bone-chilling coldness and a bloodthirsty gaze she had never seen before.
The air instantly froze over, filled with a cold gloominess that made her shiver.
Song Qinghuan gazed at Shi Yuhuan, her eyes trembling. She felt a sharp pain spreading from her heart to the rest of her body.
Her pale fingers trembled uncontrollably. She quickly drew them back and clenched her fist.
Hot tears filled her eyes. She stared at Shi Yuhuan, wondering what all this meant. Was this rejection? Disgust?
But was it necessary to be so excessive?
(ps: Originally, I was supposed to update six chapters tonight, but I was eager to share this exciting part, so I posted another one. Lastly, I’d like to announce yesterday’s lucky reader, ‘Forced Smile i’.)
