Seeing everyone whispering about Su Niansheng, a flicker of jealousy crossed Lin Yixuan's eyes.
Su Niansheng, starting today, you'll never steal my spotlight again!
"Thank you!" She grabbed the trophy, forcibly dragging everyone's attention back to her. "Receiving this award today, I must not only thank the Golden Ear Awards committee for their support, but also thank Yubai… for all the help and love he's given me over the years, always by my side…"
As she spoke, she subtly rose onto her toes and pressed a kiss against his chest.
"Ahhh—!"
"So sweet! My ship is sailing!"
The fans inside the venue instantly erupted.
一阵剧痛贯穿了苏念生的整个身体,比任何疾病都难受.伤害的不是公开表达爱意...这是林逸轩接吻的地方.就在她送给石玉白的项链上.那条项链是她母亲最后的纪念品,是一件精致的山茶花,象征着对奉献者的永恒爱.她把那份纯洁,热烈的爱托付给了错误的男人.而现在,他们却在全世界面前亵渎它.
一股愤怒的浪潮袭来.在她不知道自己拥有的肾上腺素的推动下,她冲上了舞台.她把林逸轩推到一边,抓了抓石玉白胸前的项链."还给它!还给我!
整个大厅都倒吸一口凉气,被这突如其来的景象惊呆了.
石玉白也瞬间愣住了.他抓住了她的手腕,英俊的脸上刻满了不耐烦."苏念生!现在这是什么疯狂?
"我们离婚了!"苏念生的声音从喉咙里扯了出来,生硬而绝望."石玉白,我们离婚了!"
眼前这个男人冰冷的外表第一次出现了裂缝.他的眼中闪烁着难以置信的光芒."你说什么?"
"我们离婚了.把项链还给我.苏念生带着令人毛骨悚然的平静重复着每一个字,与她之前的疯狂形成了鲜明的对比.这突如其来的镇定,莫名激怒了他."不可能!苏念生,想都别想!我不会同意的..."
林逸轩听到他的拒绝,脸色微微苍白.她躲在宽大的舞会礼服下,脚恶狠狠地向另一个女人猛击.死吧,苏念生!
一声令人作呕的砰砰声回荡.然后,黑暗吞噬了世界.
"苏念生!"
"苏念生!""有人帮忙!快!当苏念生从长长的台阶上翻滚下来时,一阵刺耳的惊恐叫喊声袭击了她的耳朵,她悲惨生活的混乱配乐在她眼前闪现.她最后看到的是一张令人叹为观止的贵族美貌,上面刻满了恐惧.沈俊熙.她曾经最好的朋友,她儿时的伙伴."笙笙!"当他抱起她软弱的身体时,他的手臂颤抖着.震惊让他震动了——在外套下面,她感觉轻得可怕,没有重量,仿佛她随时都会消失.纯粹的,纯粹的恐慌充斥着他的眼睛,将它们变暗成深不可测的绝望池."笙笙!""苏念生!睁开眼睛!"你敢死在我身上,我徒手杀了石玉白!"现在,和以前一样.当她受伤时,总是第一个冲向她.就像他很久以前承诺的那样——他会永远支持她,即使在她打破了他们的关系之后.一道淡淡的苦涩曲线触碰到苏念生的嘴唇.太可惜了...我已经停止了爱.后悔,浓重而令人窒息,淹没了她.后悔为石玉白和林一璇牺牲了一切重要的东西——她的家庭,她的事业,她的朋友.现在,连她的生命都被没收了.她渴望挽回这一切,挽回岁月,但她的身体已经完全耗尽了.甚至连抬起眼皮的力气都没有了.女孩在男人的怀抱中闭上了眼睛."不!!""笙声!醒来!请醒醒!我求求你了!拜托!首都最杰出的年轻而有成就的首席执行官抱着这个死气沉沉的女孩,像一个着了魔的人一样跑出了大楼.这一幕让所有人都惊呆了.他的手上滴着鲜血,与雨水混合在一起,他绝望的恳求中原始的,破碎的痛苦听起来就像他的心在破碎.
"Shengsheng! Wake up! Wake up!"
Su Niansheng stirred awake to a clamor of youthful, familiar voices. She rubbed her eyes, blinking at the faces crowding around her.
"Su Niansheng, your family's loaded! A hundred thousand just like that? That's more than the whole school raised for Shi Yubai combined!"
"Yeah! With this, chasing him is practically a done deal!"
Her university classmates?She looked around – the blackboard covered in advanced calculus problems, the large lecture hall, her desk-mate munching on spicy konjac strips.
Had she… truly gone back in time?!
Shock rooted her to the spot just as someone yelled from outside, "Shi Yubai's here!"
Lightning flashed outside the classroom windows, thunder cracked, and rain lashed the panes.
Shi Yubai walked in, soaked to the skin. Crystal droplets slid down his damp, clumped hair, tracing paths over his strikingly handsome, yet cold, features. He walked straight towards her, eyes downcast, expression unreadable, a crumpled piece of paper clutched tightly in his hand. His voice was colder than the rain outside.
"This is the IOU."
"One hundred and ten thousand. Principal plus interest. I'll pay back every cent."
Yes!Su Niansheng remembered this day vividly.
Shi Yubai's mother had been in a sudden, critical car accident, requiring an enormous surgery fee. The principal had organized a school-wide donation drive. Upon hearing, she'd immediately dipped into her allowance to cover the cost.
He'd responded with this IOU – a one-year term, interest at double the bank rate.
She recalled, back then, tearing up the IOU right in front of the whole class. She'd smiled at him, saying, "Shi Yubai, spending money for you is my choice. I'd spend any amount willingly, as long as you like me… just a little bit."
He hadn't said a word.
She'd thought he was deeply moved, that this would surely win him over.
But now…
Looking at the barely concealed resentment in his downcast eyes, the knuckles white where he gripped the IOU, and the mocking glint in Lin Yixuan's eyes behind him…
The hatred had started here, hadn't it? Hatred for her publicly humiliating his pride. Hatred for making him look weak in front of the girl he truly loved.
That's why the revenge had been so cruel later.
But none of that mattered anymore. What mattered was… she was back. She had really, truly come back!
Shi Yubai, seeing her not taking the IOU but just staring blankly (which he mistook for shy giggling), dropped it dismissively on her desk and turned to leave.
Lin Yixuan approached with a saccharine smile. "Su Niansheng, thank you so much! You've really helped Yubai out this time… Oof!"
Her words were cut short as Su Niansheng abruptly stood up, shoulder-checking her aside.
"Hey!" Lin Yixuan rubbed her shoulder, watching the girl sprint out of the classroom, her teeth clenched.
Idiot!What's she so happy about?
Does she really think Yubai will change his opinion of her because of this money?
Su Niansheng hadn't run out in excitement. She'd remembered something far more crucial.
Today wasn't just the day Shi Yubai's mother had her accident.
It was also the day Shen Junxi was leaving the country!
In her past life, consumed by chasing Shi Yubai, she'd fought bitterly with her family and friends, severing almost all ties.
Just yesterday, Shen Junxi had come to plead with her. Don't fight with your family over Shi Yubai. He's not worth it. She'd shut him down impatiently.
"My choices are my business. It has nothing to do with you. Stop meddling. If you disapprove too, then leave. We're not friends anymore."
His final, wounded words echoed in her reborn mind:
"Su Niansheng… Am I truly worth so little to you?"
