After Zhang Man and Qin Fan's wedding, she also came to the ward to visit Lin Xiaoyu. At that time, Zhang Man sent everyone in the ward away, including Qin Fan and Chu Yin. She held the recording pen in her hand and spread it out in front of Lin Xiaoyu.
Lin Xiaoyu looked at the recording pen that appeared in front of him, and the expression on his face changed. Both of them seemed to be waiting for the other to speak first. Zhang Man looked at Lin Xiaoyu's expressionless face and her eyes darkened.
"When you gave me this recording pen and threatened me with your father, I really believed that you did it because of business competition and Xu Ziang's family background. I didn't expect it to be for Ain. If I had known that it was something like digging your own grave, I probably wouldn't have helped you.”Zhang Man stood in front of the bed and retracted her hand. She slowly walked to the window. She looked down from the transparent floor-to-ceiling window unique to the high-class ward and felt that everything in front of her was so small and blurry. Just like his current self. Lin Xiaoyu didn't answer her, but his fingers subconsciously tapped on the little blanket covering his body as he pursed his lips.
"Actually, I've thought a lot about my marriage with Ain in the past six months. Every time I had a sleepless night, I would wonder if it was worth it.”Zhang Man subconsciously paused for a moment before she realized that her voice was a little shaky. "If it were you, the person you've liked since you were 18 years old. He held your hand and accompanied you through the most beautiful time of your life. When you were in a miserable state, he was willing to let bygones be bygones and accept you. It was like being willing to light a lamp for you in the endless darkness of chaos. That was the only light in your life. How could you not resist chasing after it?”
When Lin Xiaoyu heard this, he finally turned his head to look in Zhang Man's direction. Only then did he realize that although her background was straightforward, she somehow gave people a lonely and vicissitudes of life feeling.
"Isn't it better to tell Ain these words directly? 'Why…' Tell me?"
Zhang Man turned around and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Although his face was expressionless, his eyes were sparkling. She looked at Lin Xiaoyu unblinkingly and said slowly.
"I don't know why the heavens would make such an arrangement. I don't understand why he would love you in the end. A long time ago, I went to his office to look for Ain and saw him drawing on a piece of paper with a sad expression. Do you know what I saw?" Without waiting for Lin Xiaoyu to answer, he hurriedly said,"It's your name. Dozens of Lin Xiaoyu's were written on the paper by him." The love and affection in her eyes are still fresh in my memory.”
When Lin Xiaoyu heard this, he suddenly straightened his body and looked at Zhang Man excitedly. Seeing that she was also looking at him seriously, he seemed to understand why she had specially come over today. However, if this was the reason, even if Zhang Man pointed at him and scolded him, he would listen obediently.
"Perhaps the heavens have already arranged everyone's fate. Originally, I didn't believe that there were strange things in this world, but after such a long time, I had no choice but to believe it. I don't know if you've lived a second life like Ain, but I can understand the way you look at him. It's definitely not something someone who only met a few times can release. In Ain's world, I could be considered someone who had already left the game. Who would have thought that Xu Ziang had schemed against my father to break me and Ayin up, but in the dark, he had helped you two.”Lin Xiaoyu's eyes widened. So A'yin had been reborn. No wonder he avoided him like a viper. He did not have time to be shocked. He calmed down and continued to listen to Zhang Man.
"But I'm really tired after struggling for half a year. Speaking of which, I still have to thank Qin Fan. If he hadn't forced me to make a choice, I wouldn't have been able to harden my heart and give up on Ayin. After all, compared to a harbor with only responsibility and no love, this kind of home with a docile husband and no filial in-laws is more suitable for me. Just like how although the light beam has illuminated the road ahead, I would rather have a pair of hands holding me in the dark, accompanying me to walk forward.”
"This time, I've finally made a choice that everyone is happy with. I'll spend the rest of my life with someone who loves me. Let Ain go and let myself go. "Hey," Zhang Man smiled bitterly and paused before saying,"Why am I telling you this?" I came to find you this time to tell you that I once overheard Ayin telling Xu Ziang about your past.”
"If you don't have the ability to give Ain a peaceful and happy future, don't drag him down with you.”
"If you don't have the ability to sweep away all obstacles and protect him for life, don't drag him along with you to bear the infamy from all directions.”
"If you're not sure if you'll marry another woman one day, don't cling to Ah Yin shamelessly like you're doing now. Provoke him and make him anxious and sad for you.”
"If one day, you really reach a point where you can't be saved, I hope that no matter what, you can let him go and let yourself go.”
"I wanted to nag you about what A'In likes and how you should take care of him. However, thinking about how you have a lifetime that I haven't participated in, I probably don't have the right to say anything.”
Zhang Man slowly spread her hands, tears glistening as she watched the recording pen in her hand fall onto Lin Xiaoyu's bed. Then, she quickly straightened her back and turned around. She was still facing the French window and said in a voice as calm as possible,
"I've already destroyed everything related to Ain. This is the last one. But I'll return it to you."
"Although I am the one who has been pestering him for the longest time, I will also be the one who will give up the most. Since I've already chosen Qin Fan, I won't drag it out. You might think that I'm dirty, but I'm still a man of my word when it comes to relationships.”
"I'll be leaving in a few days. I'll be bringing my mother and the baby in my stomach to a place where there aren't so many sad memories and start over. When his father was released from prison, he would bring him over. As long as he was not in this place, no one would know what kind of person he had been.”
" So," Zhang Man turned around, her eyes curved." You don't have to worry about me anymore, and Ain doesn't have to worry about me anymore."”
"From now on, I can cut ties with this city and everyone in it.”
"I can also have a new life. Forget him, forget you, forget everything that happened here.”
"Lin Xiaoyu, aren't you going to give me your blessings? No one would ever hear these words again.”
"I can't face Xu Ziang, and I don't want to tell Ayin. Therefore, only you know about this farewell.”
This was the first time Lin Xiaoyu looked at the woman in front of him with a serious expression. Her smile was even sadder than her tears. He tried his best to put on an expression that said," I'm very happy that I'm finally free." However, he could clearly see the unsuppressable sadness and tears that were about to fall from her eyes.
In the past, Lin Xiaoyu had hated her and hated her, but now, he could no longer blame her.
She was only a girl in her twenties. She used to be loved like a pearl in the palm of someone's hand. However, her father was imprisoned overnight and she was burdened with thousands of debts. When she had no choice, she could only use her beauty. How could he blame her for being willing and decadent? After all, you had never experienced what she had experienced.
Moreover, they seemed to have forgotten that the first person who met Chu Yin and the most suitable person for Chu Yin was also this person in front of them. They had been blinded by their love for nearly ten years and did not know that Zhang Man was supposed to be Chu Yin's closest fiancée in this life.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyu felt a rare trace of guilt. He looked at Zhang Man in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.
When Zhang Man saw him like this, she did not know what to do. After hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed." Treat my light beam well. No matter what happens to you and Ain in the end, you must not hurt him." As for us, perhaps you also hope that we will never meet again.”
After saying that, she swiftly took her bag and opened the door. Qin Fan, who was waiting outside the door, immediately came up to him. Chu Yin took two steps forward, shook his head, and retreated, maintaining a considerable distance from Zhang Man.
This time, Zhang Man did not care whether Chu Yin would stiffen or not. She pounced forward and hugged the man in front of her tightly. The strength of the hug was as if she was saying goodbye. Chu Yin was caught off guard and did not know what to do, so he just let her hug him. After a long time, a gust of wind blew. Zhang Man tidied her hair and stretched out a hand. She said playfully,"Do you want to shake my hand and say goodbye?”
Chu Yin had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He suspiciously reached out to hold the woman who had accompanied him for a long time.
He saw the woman looking at him with a smile, just like when they first met.
But now, he said,"Goodbye, Ain."”
Her words made Chu Yin feel that she was not just going home, but that she would never see him again. Chu Yin patted his head and felt that he was thinking too much. The city was only so big, so where could she go?
For the first time, Qin Fan didn't say anything. He gently held Zhang Man's hand and walked away step by step. Chu Yin looked in the direction they had left and felt that there was something empty somewhere.
'Does every older brother feel like this after marrying off his younger sister?' Chu Yin thought to himself as he looked in the direction of the corridor with a smile.
What he didn't know was that Zhang Man had fallen into Qin Fan's arms after turning a corner. She held the corner of his shirt tightly, and large drops of tears fell onto the man's clothes. Her mouth was wide open, and she tried her best to suppress the sobs that were about to come out. Even if the man gently patted her shoulder, it couldn't alleviate her sadness and pain at all.
After a while, Zhang Man rested her head on Qin Fan's shoulder. Tears still fell from her eyes as if they couldn't be stopped. She choked and said intermittently,"This…" This is the last time, the last time I'll see him…I won't come back again... Qin... I'm sorry. I... I can't help it... I really can't help it…"
Qin Fan caressed her head with heartache and kept saying,""I know, I know.”
That night, Chu Yin could always hear the rumbling sounds in the sky, as if someone was leaving.
He couldn't fall asleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling above his head. For some reason, he remembered Zhang Man's belly that hadn't yet bulged. He thought that when the child was born, no matter how much Qin Fan shouted, he would make the child acknowledge him as a godfather.
Perhaps it was a dream, but in the dream, the girl who always smiled with curved eyes and white teeth stretched out her hand and said to him,
"Hey handsome, my name is Zhang Man. Can you tell me your phone number?”
