Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 147 The Destination of Emotions 3

Su Mengyao stood quietly in the middle of the courtyard, the breeze gently blowing through her silky hair, and the sunlight fell on her pretty face, reflecting a faint blush.

At this moment, her heart was like a surging ocean, full of determination and courage.

Once, for countless days and nights, she was deeply trapped in inner struggle, constantly questioning and denying herself.

Those past experiences were like heavy shackles, tightly binding her heart and preventing her from moving forward freely.

At this moment, all hesitation and confusion seemed to be blown away by a breeze, leaving only an unwavering heart.

She slowly raised her head and looked into the distance, her eyes flashing with determination, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

"I will bravely pursue my own happiness!" Her voice was clear and loud, echoing in the silent courtyard.

This sentence is not just a simple declaration, but also her expectation and commitment to her future life.

Su Mengyao knew that this decision might completely change the trajectory of her life. The road ahead might be thorny and filled with unknown challenges and difficulties.

But she also understood that if she always hesitated, she would never be able to touch true happiness.

Only by taking that step bravely can you have a happy ending.

So she took a deep breath and calmed her slightly excited mood.

At this moment, her heart was filled with longing for the future and eager desire for love. Li Zhao had already unknowingly occupied the most important place in her heart.

She made up her mind to stop waiting passively and take the initiative.

She wanted to go find Li Zhao in person, be honest with him face to face, and tell him her true feelings without reservation.

Because she firmly believes that only through sincere communication and exchange can the misunderstandings and barriers between each other be resolved and two hearts can truly come together.

On the way to Li Zhao's residence, Su Mengyao's heart was beating violently as if it was being grasped by an invisible hand.

Every step felt like stepping on cotton, light and unreal.

Her right hand was tightly holding a handkerchief. The handkerchief was a bit old and had a delicate little flower embroidered on it - this was a precious gift that Li Zhao had once given her!

At this moment, it was like the emotional sustenance deep in Su Mengyao's heart, held firmly in the palm of her hand.

Various thoughts kept flashing through her mind, sometimes the sweet moments when the two of them were together, and sometimes the bad endings that might occur.

These complex emotions intertwined together made Su Mengyao's heart more and more uneasy.

Despite this, she clearly understood that she had to face this moment bravely no matter what.

Su Mengyao arrived at Li Zhao's residence. From a distance, she saw Li Zhao standing quietly at the door, motionless like a sculpture.

The sunlight shone on him, outlining a golden outline.

His eyes revealed a hint of anticipation and a subtle uneasiness, as if he was waiting for something important to happen.

Su Mengyao took a deep breath and tried to calm her heartbeat which was as rapid as a drum.

Then, she mustered up all her courage and slowly walked towards Li Zhao. With every step, she felt closer to the unknown answer.

After walking in front of Li Zhao, Su Mengyao stopped, raised her head and looked directly into the other's eyes.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't make a sound.

After a long while, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence with difficulty: "Zhao, I...I have something to say to you."

When Su Mengyao said this, her voice trembled slightly, like a candle swaying in the wind, but the determination contained in it could not be ignored.

Next, Su Mengyao no longer hesitated. She told Li Zhao all the feelings that had been buried in her heart and the decision she had made after careful consideration without reservation.

She didn't speak fast, and even paused occasionally because she was too excited, but from beginning to end, her eyes never left Li Zhao's face.

As her words flowed, although her voice still trembled slightly, the determination and courage contained in it became more and more obvious, as if it could break through all obstacles.

Li Zhao sat there quietly, motionless like a sculpture, only his slightly trembling eyelashes revealed his inner unrest.

When he heard Su Mengyao say the long-awaited words, a hint of surprise and emotion flashed across his originally calm eyes.

This surprise was like a flash of lightning that streaked across the night sky, illuminating the deepest corner of his heart; and the feeling of being moved was like the warm sunshine in spring, slowly melting the ice and snow that had accumulated in his heart for a long time.

He slowly stretched out his right hand and gently held Su Mengyao's soft and boneless little hand.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, everything around them became unimportant, only the two of them holding each other's hands conveyed endless warmth.

Li Zhao stared into Su Mengyao's eyes, which flashed with an extremely gentle light, as if he wanted to deeply imprint the woman in front of him into his soul.

"Mengyao, I've been waiting for you too." His voice was low and magnetic, as if it came from a deep valley, or like the beautiful melody played by a cello. Every note struck Su Mengyao's heartstrings like a heavy hammer.

This simple sentence, although as short as a meteor across the night sky, contained thousands of words, like a surging torrent, instantly drowning Su Mengyao.

At that moment, Su Mengyao felt as if her heart was being tightly held by a gentle hand. A warm current surged from the bottom of her heart and quickly spread throughout her body.

She could clearly feel the sincerity and affection in Li Zhao's words. The tacit understanding that could be understood without the need for words was as intoxicating as a spring breeze.

However, even though Su Mengyao's heart was filled with warmth and happiness at this moment, she still knew clearly that there would never be a smooth journey on this long road of pursuing emotional home.

Although the relationship between her and Li Zhao, which had once been fractured, has now been repaired, the road of love that awaits them is still like a thorny jungle, with unknown difficulties and obstacles hidden everywhere.

Just as the two were reveling in the joy of their reunion, fate seemed to be playing tricks on them. New challenges and difficulties, like wild beasts stalking the night sky, gradually revealed their hideous features and approached them step by step without warning...
