When they arrived at Pan Nuo's apartment, the door was unlocked. Song Moqing carefully pushed the door open, and Su Jie followed behind her. The room was pitch black, and the strong smell of alcohol assailed his nostrils. Su Jie fumbled around and turned on the lights at the entrance. The bright yellow light suddenly lit up. Only then did Song Moqing see clearly that the wine bottles, documents, and glass shards in the room were scattered all over the ground. The furniture was also placed in a mess, making it look like a junkyard. This wasn't like the usual Pan Nuo's room at all. Even Su Jie almost thought that she had entered the wrong place. When Song Moqing's gaze fell on Pan Nuo, who was lying in the corner, tears flowed down his face.
Pan Nuo sat on the ground dejectedly. His tie and coat lay quietly beside him, and the wine bottles were all over the ground. Like a beggar, Pan Nuo's originally clean face had traces of tears left behind. His cheeks were covered with green stubble, his beautiful eyes were empty, and his left hand was covered in dried blood. Song Moqing was shocked and didn't know what to do for a moment. Because she had never seen Pan Nuo like this before. He always walked towards Song Moqing with a smile and unconditionally accepted everything about Song Moqing. She didn't ask about the past or the future. She just quietly stayed by Song Moqing's side. Song Moqing had once told Pan Nuo that a prince had appeared in her life, but the prince was just a gorgeous dream. When she woke up, the princess would also disappear. At that time, Pan Nuo looked at her gently, his eyes full of affection. He said in a deep voice," The prince has disappeared, but the princess still has a knight. A knight's destiny was to protect the princess.”Song Moqing gripped the hem of his skirt tightly as Pan Nuo's words rang in his ears. Tears fell silently.
Su Jie looked at the crying Song Moqing and her heart trembled. After staying by Song Moqing's side for so long, how could she not understand?! Pan Nuo kept staring at Song Moqing, but Song Moqing's gaze was fixed on Tang Yu. This kind of love that was silently guarded was crueler than losing it. Losing, or at least having, but not getting, or even having. How was Song Moqing going to repay such heavy feelings? Su Jie sighed silently. She gently tugged at the corner of Song Moqing's clothes with her hand, revealing a sad and pitiful expression, pulling Song Moqing back from his memories.
Song Moqing wiped away his tears and slowly squatted down. He gently placed his right hand on Pan Nuo's cheek and said gently," My knight, what's wrong with you? The princess still needs you, so you can't fall.”
It was as if Pan Nuo's soul had left his body. He was expressionless and sat rooted to the ground. No matter what Song Moqing said, he did not move at all.
Song Moqing was furious, and his tears fell even more violently." You big liar. The princess no longer has a prince. If even the knights disappear, the princess has no meaning to live anymore.”Song Moqing picked up the glass shards on the ground excitedly. Ignoring Su Jie's obstruction, he pressed the shards against the artery on his left hand and threatened," Pan Nuo, wake up. If you don't pull yourself together, I'll accompany you.”
Hearing that Song Moqing was going to hurt him, Pan Nuo's lips finally moved slowly. With difficulty, he spat out two words," No."”
Seeing Pan Nuo's reaction, Song Moqing immediately threw away the glass shards and held Pan Nuo's shoulders with both hands." Ah Nuo, what happened?”
Su Jie, who was stunned, picked up a towel and cleaned Pan Nuo's bruised wound. Looking at the shocking wound, Su Jie couldn't bear it anymore. What had happened to make such a gentle and strong man become so dispirited? After bandaging the wound, Su Jie got up and pulled Song Moqing into the kitchen. She said to Song Moqing," Moqing, I'll cook some porridge for him. I think what he needs most now is your comfort.”
Song Moqing nodded and walked to Pan Nuo's side." Ah Nuo, can you tell me what happened?”
Pan Nuo stared straight into Song Moqing's eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks." Moqing, what should I do? Tell me, what should I do?"
Song Moqing's eyes moistened as he looked at Pan Nuo, who was crying in front of him. She silently pulled Pan Nuo into her arms and whispered," Tell me what it is. I'll solve it for you."”
"I'm really useless. I can't do anything. The partners of his father's company donated money and fled, selling the company's secrets to other companies. My dad couldn't take the blow and was admitted to the hospital with a heart attack. All the burden fell on me. A few days ago, the company was facing the situation of being acquired by a big company due to insufficient funds. In order to not let the company that my father personally established collapse, I tried my best to raise funds. However, my mother was in a car accident yesterday and died on the spot. Do you know why she died? Because she wanted to get the insurance money and help Dad and I tide over the difficulties, she chose to leave us in this way. However, that money was just the tip of the iceberg. Why was her mother so stupid? Did she think she was so great? Without her, my father and I would never be happy. Mo Qing, did I do something wrong? So the heavens are punishing me for playing such a ridiculous joke! "What do I have to do to return my mother to me…" Pan Nuo shouted at the top of his lungs, smashing everything on the table into pieces and crying uncontrollably.
Looking at the helpless Pan Nuo, Song Moqing pushed his tears back into his eyes. She knew that Pan Nuo was actually very fragile. He had been loved by his parents since he was young. He had always believed that it was enough as long as he lived seriously. Therefore, even if others mocked him, he was indifferent. However, this time, his beautiful beliefs were ruthlessly destroyed by reality, and they were all turned into ashes. He began to understand that being down-to-earth could not stop God from taking away his happiness. No matter how serious he had been in life, the cruel truth proved that he had lost his mother, his father was still alive, and the company had fallen into the hands of others. All his bright past was shrouded in darkness.
Song Moqing walked to Pan Nuo's side and held his trembling hand. He said slowly," In the past, it was always you who helped me. Now, it's my turn to help you.”As he spoke, he took out a check with 20 million written on it." I don't know how much you need, but you can take all the 20 million I have.”
Pan Nuo looked at Song Moqing's serious expression and shook off her hand. She stubbornly howled," I don't want you to sympathize with me. I feel even more useless like this. It's good that it's like this now. Just let me leave quietly.”
"Ah Nuo, this isn't sympathy. Aren't we friends? Why can't I help you?" Song Moqing persuaded helplessly, trying to get Pan Nuo to accept her help.
"Because it's you, it's even more impossible.”Pan Nuo looked at Song Moqing firmly without any expression.
"Ah Nuo, I know what you're thinking. However, you're important to me. I can't watch you give up on yourself. If you don't accept my help, you'll definitely regret your decision.”Song Moqing looked at Pan Nuo resolutely. She thought that perhaps she could only use herself as a bargaining chip to threaten Pan Nuo. There was no other choice. "Your father started the company from scratch and grew it bit by bit. You should get it back for your father! If my money can solve your predicament, then why did you refuse? If you don't want to owe me anything, then quickly earn money and return it to me without missing a single cent.”Song Moqing placed the check on the table and looked straight at Pan Nuo.
After a while, Pan Nuo's deep and hoarse voice rang out." I know that I'm not qualified to say these things now, but Mo Qing, if I get through this, can you give me a chance to replace that prince and protect you for the rest of my life?"”
"Now is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing now is to compete for Uncle's company.”Song Moqing smiled faintly and handed the porridge Su Jie brought to Pan Nuo." I'm good to you only because you treat me very seriously. You once asked me if I was willing to go with you if I couldn't find what I was looking for. Actually, I thought about it for a long time before I realized that I still couldn't find the answer. Ah Nuo, give me some time…"
Pan Nuo lowered his head and remained silent. He thought, someone fell in love with a city because he fell in love with a person. Because I fell in love with a person, I fell in love with the sky. Giving up on loving someone else because she fell in love with someone else. Pan Nuo was such a person. To Pan Nuo, Song Moqing was already the best person. Although she was cold, she was gentle, kind, and sincere to her friends. But it was this gentleness…that hurt him.
Song Moqing looked at the silent Pan Nuo and whispered," Ah Nuo, Su Jie and I will leave first. We'll come back tomorrow. Have a good rest.”With that, he disappeared from Pan Nuo's sight with Su Jie.
Pan Nuo wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes, but the tears seemed to be mocking him as they poured out desperately. He understood that the fate of a knight could only be to protect the princess until she found the destined prince, and then she could retreat unscathed. However, the knight was already deeply in love with her. It was impossible for him to bring the princess to the prince's side indifferently. There are too many things in the world that we can't get even if we want to. This left him with too many regrets. Pan Nuo's biggest regret was that he didn't leave an unforgettable mark in Song Moqing's life before Tang Yu did.
Pan Nuo turned around and pulled open the curtains. When she saw Song Moqing and Su Jie's figures appear at the window, her heart ached. The branches outside the window were full of nestling birds. The sunlight shone in diagonally. The window frame cut the light into several pieces and projected them on the ground. The light and shadow were mottled. Pan Nuo laughed at himself." It's time to tidy up the house, Pan Nuo…"
Winter passed, and time passed. It was spring again.
