296: The One And Only, Truth

The One And Only, Truth

"…"1

Chu Cichen felt that his blazing passion was instantly tossed into a land of frost and snow. His entire being immediately became clear-minded.

He coughed.

His adam's apple bobbed and his exhalation felt warm, causing Shen Ruojing to feel a little discomfort.

Back when they were dating, they would always maintain a good social distance because there were many strangers in the park they dated at. The innocent them had never even held hands.

So, after he proposed, the two of them immediately went to get a room in a hotel. The events after that simply escalated like a rocket.

Back then, Chu Cichen was the one who invited her to the hotel through a text message. She still recalled that the moment she entered, he immediately started hugging and kissing her.

She wanted to push him away.

But after thinking about their dating experiences through that half a year, things between them were indeed too innocent seeing that they hadn't even held hands before. Shen Ruojing had never been a reserved person, so she decided to just go all the way…

Even after so many years, Shen Ruojing could still recall every single detail of that night.

The first time they hugged.

The first time they kissed.

The first time they…

All her first times with regard to love happened that night.

Shen Ruojing blushed and released her hold on the man's neck. Her peach blossom eyes were filled with charm and casually exuded a mesmerizing aura.

Chu Cichen didn't even dare to look at her. He maintained a straight face and loosened his collar while undoing the first button of his shirt.

This man had always shown self-restraint and he was conservative when it came to dressing, always buttoning all the buttons on his shirt. At this moment, he suddenly spoke to the driver, "Stop at the side."

"Yes, sir."

The guard-cum-driver slowly drove to the side and stopped there. Chu Cichen then looked at Shen Ruojing. "Let's go down for a walk? We can chat while we walk."

"Sure." Shen Ruojing wasn't fussy either. In addition, the atmosphere in the car was truly too ambiguous.

They left the car and walked into an open forest-like park at the side.

The trees in here were all cypress trees.

At this moment, the sky had darkened. The gray skies looked as though it was covered by a veil, exuding a hazy sense of beauty.

The two of them continued walking in.

Shen Ruojing had initially wanted to know the answer as soon as possible, but when she saw Chu Cichen remaining silent, she decided to quietly follow him by his side.

The truth was now before her eyes. But maybe it was because the hazy night sky was too beautiful or the coldness of winter chill caused her to slowly be at ease, Shen Ruojing didn't feel anxious at all.

Without realizing it, the two of them had ventured deep into the area filled with cypress trees.

The man beside her suddenly spoke, "Jingjing, tell me what am I to you?"

What was he?

Was he a tool for lust? A lover? Or…

The shadows cast by the cypress trees looked mottled on the ground as moonlight cascaded down on them.

Fallen leaves were everywhere at their feet…

Shen Ruojing abruptly lifted her head.

In the forest, the trees stood tall and erect, but because of the chill from winter, the leaves on the trees had all fallen away, only leaving bare branches behind.

Many tall and straight cypress branches shot straight into the clouds, causing her to instantly feel a stifling sense as though she was glancing up at the sky from under a cliff.

She wasn't very fond of such a feeling.

It felt as though the cliff was pressing down on her. It also felt like she was sinking into the sea, descending into the abyss!

Just when she was about to go crazy, she suddenly discovered a bright round moon hanging suspended quietly up in the sky, illuminating everything in the cypress forest, dispelling all her unease and anxiety.

Shen Ruojing pursed her lips, and she suddenly broke into a smile.

Actually, there was no such thing as falling in love at first sight. She had never been crazy for love, and the sole reason why she liked him was because…he was the only moon she could look up to when she was inside the abyss!

Shen Ruojing pondered for a moment before turning to look at Chu Cichen. She seriously replied, "My one and only."

This answer was seemingly out of Chu Cichen's expectation.

He was startled and stared at Shen Ruojing for a long time, failing to regain his composure.

Hesitation clouded his expression. It was as though what he was planning to say next had all been scrambled by her answer and he didn't know what to do.

Shen Ruojing had a guess in her mind, but she still asked, "So, what was the truth of what happened back then?"

Chu Cichen stared at her before sighing deeply. He finally made this difficult decision.

He would tell her the truth.
