Chapter 79 This night of passionate love
That night, the wind rustled through the windowpanes, casting dappled shadows of the moon. Murong Lin stood silently before Su Jinran, her lips trembling slightly, as if a thousand words were churning in her throat, yet she couldn't utter a sound. Her heart was like a wasteland ravaged by a storm, past events piercing her like sharp thorns. She recalled every cold treatment she had given Su Jinran, every unwarranted accusation, those icy gazes and harsh words—like an invisible rope, they tightened around her, suffocating her.
Tears streamed down her cheeks, her body trembled slightly, and she became increasingly agitated, almost screaming at the top of her lungs, "Jinran, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. The hurt I caused you is like a series of wounds that can never heal. I wish I could tear my heart out and see how it could be so cruel!" Murong Lin sobbed uncontrollably, covering her face with her hands, heartbroken.
Su Jinran was filled with pity. He quickly stepped forward, gently pulled Murong Lin into his arms, and held her tightly, as if he wanted to shield her from all her pain and self-blame with his embrace.
Su Jinran felt a pang of pain in his heart and without hesitation pulled her into a tight embrace. His arms were as strong as iron hoops, as if he wanted to merge her whole body into his own, to give her endless comfort and peace of mind.
He lowered his head slightly, his chin gently resting on the top of her head, his lips softly touching her hair. His voice was deep and affectionate, like fine wine, seeping into her heart: "Fool, don't blame yourself like this anymore. No matter how you treated me in the past, it's all like fleeting clouds to me. My heart has always been reserved for you, because my love for you has already penetrated to the bone, transcending all worldly grudges and affections. I love you, this love is beyond right and wrong, unafraid of wind and rain, and eternally unchanging."
"Jinran..." Murong Lin trembled uncontrollably upon hearing this. She couldn't believe the man before her was so affectionate, but the more she heard this, the more conflicted and guilty she felt. "Why? I treated you so badly, yet you still..."
Su Jinran slightly raised his eyes, which were filled with deep affection and his eyes were slightly red with heartache. He gently raised his trembling hand to wipe away the tears on Murong Lin's face, then slowly placed that hand on her shoulder, gently pulling her closer to him. His lips parted slightly, and his voice, choked with emotion yet incredibly firm, said, "Lin'er, don't cry anymore. Your tears break my heart. Since childhood, you have been the most dazzling light in my life. In those past times when I was bullied and humiliated, when I was trapped in the mire of fear and despair, it was you who, with your small body, became my guardian angel, fearlessly dispelling the gloom. From that moment on, I silently vowed in my heart that in this life, I would give everything to protect you."
"So you've always..." Murong Lin was deeply moved upon hearing this, and tears streamed down her face. She hugged him tightly and cried guiltily in his arms, like a child who had made a mistake. Su Jinran held her in his arms, comforting her with eyes full of doting affection.
That night, they were deeply in love, completely forgetting their past unhappiness. From that moment on, they wanted to be happy and joyful.
As time flows by, this feeling has quietly grown in my heart, transforming into a towering tree, its roots tightly entwining my soul. Every smile of yours, every sorrow of yours, is like a string gently plucking at my heart. I know deeply that you are an indispensable piece of the puzzle of my life, the deepest longing in my soul, the shore I would cross mountains and seas to reach.
