1752: The Extent of Prejudice Is the Extent of Love

The Extent of Prejudice Is the Extent of Love

The neon lights outside the windows reflected halos of mottled light everywhere. Ye Chu's cheek became slightly red because she was pressing on it as she slept. She looked like a ripened little apple. Her eyelashes were dense and long, yet they were unable to conceal the confusion and shock in her eyes. She had always been startled awake in the middle of the night. Was he part of the nightmare in her dreams? 0

When he lowered his head to ask her about her dreams, Ye Chu was unwilling to reveal anything. He often wondered if Ye Chu was dreaming about her childhood memories. If he knew about her dreams, the characters in her dreams or even the setting of her dreams, as long as there were some clues, he might be able to find out her background, story, and relatives. But she did not want to reveal anything to him.

He hinted at Xiao Ju to communicate with Ye Chu more regularly and probe about her dreams. Ye Chu's mouth was as cautious as a secret agent. She never revealed a single detail, and the only things that revealed her fears were the paleness and confusion when she woke up in the middle of the night.

What did she dream about?

There were still tears hanging onto Ye Chu's eyelashes. She tilted her head upwards slightly and revealed a hint of innocence and dependency. She snuggled against him, unwilling to part.

"I want to sleep."

"Okay, I'll bring you to sleep."

Ye Tingyun always thought that he was an upright gentleman. Evaluations made by other people about him were just disillusions from a bunch of stupid humans. However, after he had Ye Chu, he would think that he might have misunderstood the meaning of being an upright gentleman. Perhaps those external comments were the most objective. He was always unwilling to acknowledge the darkest side of his heart.

When Emma said, "Brother, you are a good person. You are so gentle. It's the first time anyone has been gentle to me," he subconsciously lived to become the man of her hopes. He concealed the darkness that belonged to the Ye Family's men. He restrained and suppressed it, eventually living to become the person she would like.

He had always hoped that one day, when they reconciled again, he would tell Emma, "Emma, I'm still the brother you like. Although my looks have changed, I'm still how you'd like me to be. Just like before."

He had never thought that he would not meet Emma again. He had never thought that he would fall in love with another woman. He had also never thought that Emma's heart might have been taken by someone else and that she might have forgotten about him. Maybe Emma only viewed him as a big brother without any romantic love between a man and a woman. He never thought that there would be an alternative ending with Emma.

In the dark, Ye Tingyun's gaze was bright and deep. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Ye Chu. The devil in the night entangled him like vines. Over eight percent of the people in the MISS building did not like Ye Chu. They only echoed what others said and did not truly seek to understand her. They were prejudiced against Ye Chu simply based on the comments made by others.

However, the extent of prejudice was equal to the extent of love.

Ye Chu got all of his love.

She flipped over and stretched her arm, laying it straight across his chest domineeringly like her personality. She was completely oblivious to the danger and feelings of the person lying next to her. She was like a vine that had a strong will to live, constantly growing in his heart and stabbing him. Even if he were to be stabbed all over, he would still keep this vine tightly encircled around him.

"Brother…" Ye Chu mumbled, half-awake. Ye Tingyun's heart trembled. Did she really dream about him? Was her dream a nightmare? He laughed self-mockingly, and all of the darkness that surged up earlier withdrew like the ocean waters.

See, he was such a fake person. After all these years of restraint and concealing, even though his heart was filled with turmoil, he still wanted to give her a peaceful sky.
