Zhong Yufei had a sweet dream. He dreamed of Yang Yan, who had never entered his dreams. He dreamed of him kissing her, touching her, hugging her, and becoming one with her deeply.
In the dream, he was so happy and satisfied. He kept kissing Yang Yan and hugged her tightly, not letting her leave.
However, it was a dream after all. When he woke up from the dream, Yang Yan in his arms would disappear without a trace. However, he seemed to feel that there was really a woman in his arms. He realized that the person he was hugging was not Yang Yan, but Yao Yueru.
It was at this moment that he completely woke up.
He looked around. Yang Yan and Yao Yueru were nowhere to be seen. There was only loneliness in the room.
He looked at the mess on the table again and remembered how drunk he had been. If he remembered correctly, he should have been drunk on the table. Why was he on the bed now?
He looked at his body again. His clothes were intact, but there was something different. He could feel it.
He pressed his forehead and tried to recall the fragments of memories he had lost last night.
He had a dream. Could it be that it was not a dream at all, but a fact of existence? If it wasn't a dream, then those dream fragments really existed?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The feeling in the dream became more and more real in his mind. He did hug Yang Yan. No, it couldn't be Yang Yan. Yang Yan was already dead!
Then who was the person he was intimate with? He dreamed of Yang Yan and…Yue Ru!
Thinking of this, he jumped up and immediately rushed out of the room.
After Yao Yueru returned to her room, she was overwhelmed by a strong sense of guilt.
She couldn't believe that she had actually done that with Zhong Yufei. She must have been possessed to do that!
She had never felt so regretful before. She had let down the dead Yang Yan and Zhong Yufei because she had lied to him. She had pretended to be Yang Yan and asked him to accept her.
When Zhong Yufei opened the door and came in, she was still in a daze, thinking that she was dreaming.
"Yueru." When Zhong Yufei saw Yao Yueru's absent-minded expression, his excitement instantly cooled down like a fire that had been doused by water.
"Eldest Young Master!" When Yao Yueru heard Zhong Yufei's voice, she raised her head and saw him. Her breathing immediately became difficult.
"Eldest Young Master? You didn't call me that last night.”Zhong Yufei remembered what happened last night, but he wasn't very sure, so he decided to ask Yao Yueru tentatively.
Yao Yueru's small face instantly turned pale. She lowered her head and didn't say anything.
It was indeed true! Zhong Yufei didn't know what he was feeling. He wanted to be angry, but he couldn't. If he was happy, it wasn't entirely like that. In short, he had mixed feelings in his heart. It was an indescribable feeling, an uncomfortable feeling.
He exhaled and said calmly,""I want you to tell me the truth now. Did I force you to do what happened last night, or…"
"No, you didn't force me." Yao Yueru looked at him shyly and said,""I volunteered."
Willingly? Zhong Yufei was extremely surprised! Why was she willing? Did she really…
Zhong Yufei knew that Yao Yueru liked him a long time ago, but he always thought that her feelings for him were pure love. He never knew that Yao Yueru had such deep feelings for him that she could sacrifice herself for him.
Zhong Yufei, who was deep in thought, fell silent.
Yao Yueru looked at him nervously and said with a trembling voice,""Young Master, don't worry. What happened last night wasn't your fault. It was me. I shouldn't have pushed you away when I heard you call Sister Yan. I should have stopped you, but I didn't…"
"I think that under those circumstances, even if you wanted to stop it, you wouldn't be able to!”he said lightly.
This time, it was Yao Yueru's turn to remain silent.
"Don't worry, I'll take responsibility.”Zhong Yufei felt that he should do this.
Yao Yueru shook her head in shock. "I don't want you to take responsibility! I told you I did it willingly, for Sister Yan…"
"For the sake of your Sister Yan, is your chastity not important?”Zhong Yufei was angry.
"This is what I should do." Yao Yueru said softly but clearly.
Zhong Yufei became even angrier. He grabbed Yao Yueru's shoulder and shouted angrily,""How long are you going to blame yourself? I want to marry you, not for Yan 'er, but for..."
"Is it all for me?" Yao Yueru interrupted Zhong Yufei. "Big Brother Zhong, are you marrying me because you like me?”
Zhong Yufei looked at her quietly. "What if I say yes? Will you believe me?"
Yao Yueru nodded. "Of course I believe you. I know you like me, just like you like your family and friends.”
Zhong Yufei's expression darkened. "What do you mean by that?"
Yao Yueru suppressed the pain in her heart. "I like you. I like you to the point where I can't help myself. Although I know that I'm letting Sister Yan down like this, I just can't stop liking you.”
"Yue Ru!" Yao Yueru's sudden confession shocked Zhong Yufei so much that he didn't know what to say.
Yao Yueru looked at him with tears in her eyes. She spat out word by word with trembling lips,""Isn't this unfair to me? I used my entire life to love you, and you used your life to love Sister Yan. Even if you like me, you will never like me as much as you like Sister Yan. If you really marry me, not only will you let me down, you will also let Sister Yan down!”
Zhong Yufei looked at Yao Yueru with a pale face. He couldn't refute her words.
Yao Yueru looked at him with tears in her eyes. God knew how much she wanted him, but she couldn't. She wanted Zhong Yufei to love her wholeheartedly, but that was impossible. She knew very well that the person Zhong Yufei loved the most in his heart would always be Yang Yan. Even if Zhong Yufei liked her, Yang Yan would always be there between them.
After a while, Zhong Yufei finally spoke,""You're right! I was wrong. I thought I could make it up to you, but I didn't expect to hurt you.”He blamed himself.
Yao Yueru cried quietly. She really wanted to tell him that she didn't want his compensation. She wanted him to love her! But she couldn't say it, not even if she died.
Zhong Yufei held her fair hand. His gentle gaze made her feel as if she was in a dream.
"Tell me, how can I make it up to you?”
Yao Yueru shook her head. "Big Brother Zhong, you don't have to make it up to me. If you really want to do something for me, then go back to how you were three years ago! I really like the old Big Brother Zhong. Can you let me see him?”
A charming smile appeared on Zhong Yufei's face. "You're so kind. At this time, you're still thinking about me. I promise you, I'll work hard.”
Yao Yueru was so happy that she cried.
Seeing her cry for him, Zhong Yufei actually had the urge to hug her.
Yao Yueru must not know that she had underestimated herself. She was much more important to him than she thought.
How much did he like her? He needed time to think about this problem.
Zhong Yufei had really changed! He no longer went to those places with fireworks to seek pleasure, nor did he go to the tavern to get drunk. He devoted all his attention to studying medicine. During his three years in Jianghu, he had always been interested in medical theories. In order to pass the time, he found many famous doctors from all over the world to ask for advice. He originally had the mentality of killing time, but now he really took this matter seriously.
Zhong Yufei's change of appearance made the Zhong couple extremely happy. The two elders attributed all the credit to Yao Yueru. They believed that Yao Yueru had made Zhong Yufei change. Because of this, Yao Yueru's status in the Zhong Residence returned to the situation when Yang Yan was still around. She was a servant in name but was actually a young miss. She also regained everyone's love. The three years of hard life had finally ended.
The relationship between Zhong Yufei and Yao Yueru had also changed during this period of time. Her attitude towards Zhong Yufei was the same as before. It had never changed. The person who had changed was Zhong Yufei. Their relationship had returned to how close they were in the past. No, they were even more intimate. At least, that was how Yao Yueru felt in her heart.
Yao Yueru felt uneasy about this change. She didn't know what Zhong Yufei was thinking. She was very happy that the two of them could be like before, but she still felt that something was wrong. She had seen Zhong Yufei's gentle gaze when he looked at Yang Yan in the past, and now she actually saw that kind of gaze again. What was going on? Did he really think that she was Yang Yan?
Every night, Zhong Yufei would ask her to take a walk in the garden and talk to her. Tonight, she came to the garden with Zhong Yufei again.
Zhong Yufei saw that she was wearing thin clothes, so he took off his outer robe and draped it over her. "It's autumn now, and the nights are getting colder. Remember to wear more clothes next time, okay?”
"Alright." Yao Yueru touched the coat on her shoulder, her mood in a mess.
They stopped talking and walked side by side to a pool.
Zhong Yufei looked at the pool and said," This pool is old. I'll get someone to clean it up another day. I want to change its shape. What do you think should be changed?"”
"Anything is fine." Yao Yueru had no objections.
"Then change it to the shape of the moon. Let's change it to a new moon. A curved one should be good. Let's name the pond that looks like the moon after you.”
"Big Brother Zhong!" Yao Yueru called out after she heard that.
"Hmm?" Zhong Yufei stopped and looked at her.
"Why?" Yao Yueru shook her head in confusion. "You've been too strange recently. I don't understand why you're doing all this.”
"You don't understand? Don't you want me to change? Could it be that I did something wrong?"
She shook her head again. "That's not what I meant. What I don't understand is your attitude towards me. You…"
"You don't like me treating you like this?" Zhong Yufei asked with a smile.
Yao Yueru glared at him angrily." You rejected me like that before. Now, you…I'm glad that we've reconciled, but you're treating me differently from before. I don't think you should treat me like this. If you still treat me as Sister Yan, you'll be letting Sister Yan down."”
"I didn't treat you as Yan 'er." Zhong Yufei stopped smiling and looked at her with a serious expression. "You are you, Yan 'er is Yan' er. You and she are two different people. No matter how much I miss Yan 'er, I won't treat you as a substitute for her.”
Yao Yueru looked at the ground and stammered,""Then why are you so good to me?”
"After hearing your confession, do you think I can still be indifferent?”
Yao Yueru's heart was beating fast. She knew that her face must have turned red.
" Then how are you treating me now…" She lowered her head even more.
"I don't know what to say." Zhong Yufei sighed. "If I say that I forgot about Yang Yan, I'll definitely be lying to you. That's absolutely impossible! I think I will always remember her. In my heart, she will always exist, forever and ever.”
Yao Yueru was very touched. She nodded and said,""If Sister Yan knew that you love her so much, she would definitely be very happy.”
Zhong Yufei looked at her strangely. "Why? Aren't you jealous?"
"Of course not!" Yao Yueru revealed a sweet smile." I've never thought of snatching you from Sister Yan. It was the same three years ago, and it's the same now.”
Zhong Yufei chuckled." You're really a strange girl. Perhaps this is what attracted Yan 'er and me to you!"”
Yao Yueru blushed and lowered her head shyly.
"Look at me, Yueru." Zhong Yufei cupped her face and asked her to look at him. "It's been a long time since I've been moved by someone. Other than Yan 'er, you're the first.”
Yao Yueru raised her head, a complicated expression on her beautiful face. "Big Brother Zhong, you mean you betrayed Sister Yan?”
"I don't think that liking you is betraying her. I've said it before. She will always live in my heart. I will always remember her in my life. My feelings for her won't disappear with time. And you…"
Zhong Yufei hugged her gently. His action made Yao Yueru dizzy for a moment.
"Big Brother Zhong."
"I like you, Yueru." Zhong Yufei looked at her tenderly. "These days, I've listened to you and tried my best to return to my original self. After opening my heart again, I've also rediscovered your goodness and gentleness. I don't want to suppress my feelings for you. I want to see how much I like you. I want to see if I can make you trust me and bring you happiness. I want time to prove everything, okay?”
" Big Brother Zhong…" Yao Yueru's face was full of tears. Her tearful eyes were filled with gratitude and gratitude. "Am I dreaming?" she couldn't help but shout. If this is a dream, can I not wake up? Can I forever…"
Yao Yueru's squirming mouth was suddenly blocked. Zhong Yufei passionately swallowed the words she couldn't finish.
He kissed her gently and affectionately, taking the honey from her mouth to his heart's content.
"Do you still think you're dreaming?”He smiled at her.
"Big Brother Zhong!" Yao Yueru hugged him and shouted uneasily,""Can we do that? Will Sister Yan forgive us?"
"She will. Trust me." Zhong Yufei stared at her sparkling eyes. " Yueru, please forgive me for not being able to make any promises to you right now. I really need time to confirm my feelings for you. If I can't love you as much as I love Yan 'er, please give up on me. I don't deserve your love.”
"You got it long ago, Big Brother Zhong.”Yao Yueru looked up and said with tears in her eyes,""No matter how you treat me, my heart for you will never change! I love you, love you…"
Zhong Yufei laughed and hugged her tightly. "You really make it impossible for people not to love you.”He lowered his head and kissed her again.
Yao Yueru closed her eyes and responded enthusiastically.
At this moment, she was shouting in her heart, Sister Yan, did you see that? You'll definitely be happy for us! Isn't that right, Sister Yan?
The budding relationship between Zhong Yufei and Yao Yueru was not discovered by anyone in the Zhong Residence. They were so cautious that they were afraid that this fragile relationship would disappear before it matured.
For Mrs. Zhong, who wanted to have a grandson, nothing was more important than Zhong Yufei's marriage. These days, she had been secretly investigating which family's daughter could be matched with Zhong Yufei. Finally, the heavens did not disappoint the painstaking person. She finally found the most suitable candidate.
This person's surname was Du and his name was Yinqiu. He was General Du's only daughter. When Mrs. Zhong first saw Du Yinqiu, she was really shocked. This Du Yinqiu looked too much like the dead Yang Yan. The degree of similarity between them was so great that even as Yang Yan's aunt, she would mistake him for someone else.
Du Yinqiu was 18 years old this year. Not only did his facial features and skin color resemble Yang Yan's, but even his height and physique were similar. If Yang Yan was still alive, no one would suspect that they were twin sisters if they stood together.
Mrs. Zhong looked as if she had found a treasure. She couldn't wait to arrange for Zhong Yufei and Du Yinqiu to meet. This time, she was full of confidence.
Zhong Yufei, who didn't know anything, asked Mrs. Zhong to bring him to General Du's mansion. Mrs. Zhong deliberately found an excuse to leave, leaving Zhong Yufei alone in the hall.
Zhong Yufei felt that his mother was a little strange, but he didn't think too much about it. He admired the calligraphy and paintings on the wall alone in the hall and waited for his mother to come back.
When he heard footsteps behind him, he thought that his mother had returned, so he turned around.
" Mother, where are you going…" Zhong Yufei's voice suddenly faded. He held his breath as he looked at the person who walked into the hall. His mind was completely blank.
" Yan 'er..." His throat tightened as he spat out these two words with great difficulty.
"Are you calling me?" A face that was almost identical to Yang Yan was smiling at him.
He stared at her." Who are you?"
"So you don't know my name.”The girl revealed a smile as beautiful as Yang Yan's." My name is Du Yinqiu. This is my home. Now you know who I am, right? Zhong Yufei."
She was really not Yang Yan! Zhong Yufei suddenly felt that his entire body had lost all strength.
He knew that this person was definitely not Yang Yan, but he would rather lie to himself that she was Yang Yan. He missed her so much. He really wanted to see her alive, just once!
However, although she was not Yang Yan, her appearance was similar to Yang Yan's.
This thought instantly cheered Zhong Yufei up. He looked at Du Yinqiu greedily. "You know my name? Why?"
"It was Mrs. Zhong who told me. She also told me that she would bring you to see me today. It seems that your mother didn't tell you anything!”Du Yinqiu giggled.
"She didn't tell me." Zhong Yufei couldn't take his eyes off her face. "Nice to meet you, Miss Du.”
"Me too." "If you don't mind, you can call me Yinqiu." Can I call you Yu Fei?"
Zhong Yufei nodded, his eyes still staring at her face that resembled Yang Yan. She really looked like Yang Yan, but she was more lively and liked to smile. Yang Yan's beauty was noble, but her beauty was approachable.
"It smells so good!" He smelled a familiar fragrance. "It's osmanthus fragrance. Are there osmanthus flowers here?”He didn't see osmanthus flowers here just now!
"Ah, it's the osmanthus fragrance on my body.”Du Yinqiu said embarrassedly. "I'm not afraid that you'll laugh if I say it out loud. I really like to bathe in flower petals, especially osmanthus flowers.”
Zhong Yufei was stunned. "You like osmanthus flowers?" His Yang Yan also liked osmanthus the most! Was this a coincidence, or was it deliberately arranged by the heavens?
"Yes, I like a lot of flowers, and my favorite is osmanthus.”After she finished speaking, she gave him a gentle smile.
Zhong Yufei looked at her in a daze. At this moment, he couldn't tell if the person standing in front of him was Du Yinqiu or Yang Yan.
Whether it was Du Yinqiu or Yang Yan, to Zhong Yufei, they were two different people, but they were also the same person. There was no difference!#
