Chapter 60: Patriarch Chen’s Birthday (3)

“The air here is too bad. Let’s go outside.”

She didn’t want Chen Shu to face these people again. Even if they had a blood relationship with him, they never respected him.

Chen Shu glanced at their clasped hands. He did not speak and followed Ye Sui out. After the two of them got to a quiet place, the noise in the hall became far away.

It was late autumn, and the air was cool. The wind was blowing, and the leaves rustling. There was no one around, with only the moonlight falling quietly, enshrouding the place in silent tranquility.

Ye Sui fixedly looked at Chen Shu. His figure appeared silent and cruel. His eyes were so dark that the moonlight sweeping over his eyebrows seemed to fall into an abyss.

Ye Sui’s heart was filled with bitterness. Chen Shu was so good; he shouldn’t have suffered so much. She clenched his hand, and her voice sounded soft, as if she were caressing his ear.

“Chen Shu, your brother’s death was just an accident. It has nothing to do with you.”

Ye Sui continued, “When your mother left home, it was you who was hurt, not the other way around. You should not take all these things on yourself.”

“...”

Chen Shu’s deep pupils stared straight into Ye Sui’s eyes while she looked at him with concern.

In the dark, the shadow of Ye Sui was thin and slender, but her eyes were bright and firm. She looked at him and stressed it over and over again.

His brother’s death and his mother’s departure were not his faults.

Ye Sui continued to talk as Chen Shu’s eyes fell on her for a moment. The warmth began to diffuse from his fingers and slowly spread to his heart, wrapping his cold self bit by bit.

Such a feeling had never been there before.

In the darkness, a cluster of light—small but very bright—pulled him out of the bottomless despair.

Ye Sui continued, “Chen Shu, don’t pay any attention to that person’s nonsense.”

She then counted Chen Shu’s good points one by one. “You see, you are good-looking, kind-natured, caring for people, and blocking ghosts...”

Before she knew it, she had said a lot about him, not realizing that he was so special in her heart.

Ye Sui’s voice fell gently into Chen Shu’s ear. In addition, his eyes were somewhat darker. Under the white moonlight, Ye Sui lifted up her face and told him earnestly that he was fine.

Chen Shu glanced down at Ye Sui. She was still the usual: beautiful and slender. However, in such places and occasions, everything seemed different.

Ye Sui thought for a moment and added sincerely, “And with you, my luck has changed. You are not hard-luck at all; rather, you’re my good luck charm...”

The next second, Chen Shu suddenly bent down, held out his hands, pulled Ye Sui into his arms, and hugged her tightly.

Chen Shu’s hands wrapped around Ye Sui, embracing her firmly, as if it was the only sustenance in his dark life. The uncertain future no longer seemed that difficult and bleak because of her.

Ye Sui was held in Chen Shu’s arms. Her brain suddenly became empty, and she stood there, stupefied. His warm breath surrounded her, the hands covering her shoulders.

It was a cold autumn night, but Ye Sui’s ears suddenly became hot, thinking that Chen Shu had never hugged her so tightly.

Ye Sui could notice Chen Shu’s breathing gently touching her neck, causing a burst of numbness. Her face reddened again.

Ye Sui took a deep breath and called out carefully. “Chen Shu?” She was so scared that she didn’t know what to do.

Chen Shu’s head was buried in her neck. Ye Sui’s hair brushed his face, and the faint scent drifted into the tip of his nose. Instinctively, he didn’t want to leave, saying softly, “Hmm.”

Ye Sui’s voice was somewhat helpless. “You’re hurting me.”

Chen Shu loosened his grip a little, but he still didn’t let go, clutching Ye Sui’s body firmly. The moonlight outlined the figure of the couple, and a shadow was cast on the ground. It was very clear.

Chen Shu didn’t let go, and Ye Sui didn’t refuse either, just allowing him to hold her.

In the silent night, she heard her heart beat violently, one after another.
