Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“Sangsang…” Yan Su was stunned for a short while, then she felt as if someone was banging her heart against the floor. “Sangsang, I don’t understand… Shi Xiang… Why did he become like that? That is not the person I know. He was brave, honest, sunny. He told me that no matter what he turned into or how high he reached, he’d always love me. He said that in the future, he’d stand at the peak of his life and announce to the world that I am his girlfriend…”

“Su, it might not be exactly like what I said. Perhaps I misunderstood.” Yan Su was panicking, so Luosang tried to comfort her. “There are some things I just wanted you to know. You have to understand that you shouldn’t pin all your hopes on that person, and you shouldn’t make him your sole goal. You have already spent your youth for him, so I don’t want you to waste all your good years on him. Even if he’s only flirting with another woman, to me it’d be intolerable. If he flirts with other women before getting married, what will he do after he gets married? So, don’t hold your breath waiting for him.”

“But, I have already pinned all my hopes on him.” Yan Su was now overwhelmed by the confused, helpless feeling. She wanted to cry. “My parents didn’t want me to be with him and become a singer. But for him, I came here without hesitation. When I left home, I swore to my parents that I’d prove it to them. I said that Shi Xiang would marry me, and that I wouldn’t come home until that day. I thought about marrying him and what our marriage would be like…” Her eyes reddened and filled with tears as she was talking.

Luosang held her hands. Her hands were even shaking. In fact, she wanted very much to say to Yan Su that from the time Shi Xiang went to Korea alone and started his career successfully to the present, when his career was like the sun in broad daylight, he easily stood out from the fierce competition. Was he really capable and lucky? Or, had someone powerful been supporting him? Yan Su was smart. She could have thought of that, but she wasn’t willing to think about the ugly side of that person.

“Su, I can only tell you that you have the right to choose.” Luosang sighed. “You can turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing happened. After all, he’s not breaking up with you. You can also break things off with him. That way, you’ll no longer live for him. You’ll live a life for yourself. There’s another way, which is to let things stay where they are. No matter which way you choose, I’ll respect you. Such a long relationship can’t end so easily, after all.”

In a relationship, everyone had their own reasons to make choices. Luosang wanted Yan Su to make the decision by herself, even though she really didn’t like Shi Xiang. To be honest, she felt that Shi Xiang wasn’t even a decent person.

Yan Su stayed silent for quite a while. Luosang was right. Such a long relationship couldn’t end so easily. She just didn’t know where to start. She felt really sorry for Luosang. Earlier, she had asked Shi Xiang to help Luosang, but he refused. Later on, he accused Luosang of bearing a grudge. Now, he had even caused a problem with Luosang’s work. That had already sowed discord between her and Shi Xiang. Shi Xiang didn’t respect her friend.

Unlike him, Nian Junting introduced her to a music company and helped her with her career because she was Luosang’s friend. Even though he did that to get revenge on Ye Chuen, he hadn’t really needed to go that far. He did it simply because she was Luosang’s friend.
