ss of red wine, took a sip while eyeing the two women in front of him with amusement. They were dressed provocatively, their eyes filled with blatant seduction. Bai Yuxing hid his smirk behind his win...That summer in junior high, she said, "Shen Xiujin, let's date. You take care of me."

The boy in the white shirt turned his head, his clear phoenix eyes gazing at her, saying nothing. He turned and walked away, she chased after him, grabbing his hand from behind: "Cheapskate, I'm easy to take care of. Can't you even afford that"

Jian Tong still remembers the boy's answer to this day.

He said, "It's not that I can't afford to support you, it's that you're not the right person for me." After saying that, he turned around and let her hold his hand, leading her out of the school gate.

Jian Tong remembered, she glanced at the intertwined palms of the two people at that time, what was she thinking about

Oh... I remember now.

At that time, she was thinking: If I wasn't the right person, Shen Xiuqin, why didn't you let go of my hand

She affectionately wrapped her arms around his, clinging to him closely. She smiled cheekily: “Shen Xiujin, I’m not the right person, and there’s no one in this world who is.”

……

"Jian Tong Jian Tong" Xiao Heng called out twice, somewhat displeased that she had been distracted again... There was a flicker of loss in his eyes. It seemed that there was another person living in this woman's heart, and this person appeared in her life before him.

But the next second, the sparkle in his eyes returned, covering her palm with both of his:

"Give it a try, why not Trust me, I won't let you shed another tear."

Jian Tong's shoulders trembled slightly, her eyes holding a hint of longing. Raising her head, she saw Xiao Heng's face full of sincerity. She suddenly felt her palms burning hot, and she jerked her hand away from Xiao Heng's, putting both hands behind her back and quickly taking several steps back, creating some distance between them. She stared at Xiao Heng with wide, black eyes.

"Come on, say something. … Jian Tong, you can't run away."

He stepped forward, and Jian Tong took a few steps back.

Xiao Heng's eyes flashed, and he leaned forward again.

Jian Tong retreated further.

Xiao Heng couldn't bear it any longer. He reached out his long arm and, with a single movement, pulled her in front of him. Immediately, he wrapped both arms around her waist, confining her to his presence: "Jian Tong, don't even think about escaping. I won't give you the chance."

She didn't run away... Just like what Shen Xiujin said back then, if it's not the right person, why bother running

Suddenly, a flash of understanding struck Jian Tong’s mind...It turned out that the reason why that person hadn't shaken her hand back then was simply because he wasn't the right person. Why bother, why make things complicated

Thinking about it this way, all my years of getting knocked down but getting back up...it's just been one joke after another.

Xiao Heng frowned... This woman had been staring off into space for the third time today.

Unable to describe how he felt at this moment, Xiao Heng leaned down and gently pecked Jian Tong's lips.

"Is it Shen Xiujin, right"

He suddenly asked.

Jian Tong's body trembled.

Xiao Heng smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in it: "Jian Tong, forget him. No matter what kind of past you have with him, it's all painful."

Jian Tong, like someone overly sensitive, lifted her head and asked, "How can you be so sure it's all pain"

Xiao Heng stared at the person tightly held in his arms... This woman probably didn't even know that her current expression was full of hostility. A faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth... It didn't matter, he would make her forget about the bastard Shen.

"Have you ever had happy things in your past If so, why do I see only despair on your face"

"..." , she was speechless.

"Jian Tong, at least give me a try. Even if you don't agree to be my girlfriend now, at least give yourself a chance, accept happiness, and embrace happiness."

You can't live forever in memories, in the past, in your own little world.

"Little Child, forget him. No matter what kind of memories or past you share, I firmly believe that those unpleasant past experiences and memories will be replaced by the happy memories we create together, filling your heart."

For a moment, Jian Tong's heart skipped a beat... Happiness, who could refuse such a thing Jian Tong was also bewitched by these two beautiful words.

"Okay..." Just as she was about to say "okay," she suddenly came to her senses, "No."

Happiness, who wouldn't want it.

But is she qualified

Can she still deserve the things that everyone in this world wants

"Jian Tong" Xiao Heng called out Jian Tong's name in disbelief, "Why"

Why doesn't this woman even give a chance

"Shen, are you that important in your heart"

He was looking at the woman in front of him.

The woman hung her head, staring blankly at her toes, a bitterness spreading...Xiao Heng ah, do you really know who I am

Do you truly understand the person standing before you now, the one confessing their feelings Is she a living, breathing human being who walks under the sun, with both body and soul existing in this world, or is she merely a shell of a person, her spirit eternally damned to the darkness below

Do you really know who I am, what I have done, and what I carry

Do you really think someone like me...could ever hope for happiness

"... I'm sorry."

Xiao Heng's heart felt a pang, and he stubbornly leaned down, his warm lips pressing hard against those pale ones. He deepened the kiss.

Jian Tong did not dodge, allowing the man before her to kiss her.

After the kiss, Xiao Heng raised his head: "See, you didn't refuse." The seriousness and stubbornness in his eyes made Jian Tong unable to look directly at him.

With a nervous cast of her eyes, she lowered them to hide the emotions swirling in their depths. In a gentle voice, she spoke:

"Mr. Xiao, don't you remember what I do Though I've only been in this business for a short time, I know the principle of putting the customer first. I've never heard of a woman refusing a client's advances. Have you, Mr. Xiao"

Xiao Heng's face turned pale.

"And yet you retort defiantly: "Then how do you explain the look in your eyes when I first walked up to you from over there"

"Would a beautiful woman, like Jian Tong, use such enchanting eyes to look at a john"

Jian Tong raised her eyelids and gave Xiao Heng a serious look. This glance was focused and contained an indescribable feeling. Xiao Heng's heart skipped a beat, his heartbeat quickening under this intense gaze.

He lowered his head, his gaze fixed intently on the woman in his arms, as if waiting for Jian Tong's answer.

After a long silence, Jian Tong let out a soft sigh and looked at Xiao Heng with a faint expression. She then spoke:

That year, the boy I liked stood under the banyan tree, just wearing a white shirt. From then on, I fell in love with white shirts.

Today, with you wearing a white shirt, standing just under the banyan tree, I lost my sight and fell into the past.

Therefore, it has nothing to do with you.

A trace of melancholy flashed across Xiao Heng's handsome face, gone in a flash. In the blink of an eye, he smiled again, his face full of rascality, his eyes sparkling with light. With a slight effort of his arm, he easily brought the woman in his arms closer to him. He leaned down and kissed her lips lightly:

"Then you can treat me like a prostitute, Jian Tong."he hadn't thought that the trace of unwillingness and annoyance in her eyes had been seen clearly by the man opposite her.Before she could finish her words, a soft chuckle interrupted her. Suddenly, J...
