The moment Song Qingchun’s hands fell on Su Zhinian’s grip, the furious man once more shrugged her hands off and dashed down the stairs. Ruin the marriage? Qin Yinan dares to not marry Song Qingchun?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He jumped down the stairs two or three steps at a time. Song Qingchun could not catch up to him, so she stood at the top of the stairs and yelled at Su Zhinian, “Su Zhinian, when Brother Yinan sent me the message, I was about to message him as well.”
Su Zhinian slowed down his footsteps, but he did not stop.
“Therefore, even if Brother Yinan didn’t call to tell me he can’t marry me, I would have told him the same thing.”
Therefore, even if Brother Yinan didn’t call to tell me he can’t marry me, I would have told him the same thing… What does she mean by that? Su Zhinian suddenly stopped moving like it had just dawned on him. He turned his head up to look at Song Qingchun standing at the top of the stairs.
Song Qingchun held his gaze and pressed on her lips. She then repeated herself but in a clearer words. “Su Zhinian, actually, I went to see Brother Yinan today to tell him, I’m not going to marry him.”
Su Zhinian stopped moving completely. His eyes that looked at her were roiling with emotions. After some time, he said in a cold voice, “Qingchun, but you promised me at Hai Nan…”
“What about your promise to me at Hai Nan!” Song Qingchun interrupted Su Zhinian and continued in an agitated tone. “We promised each other, after that night, we’d both return to the human world to live our lives and then treat each other as nothing more than siblings, but Su Zhinian…”
At this point, Song Qingchun halted. She knew what she was about to say represented. Heaven or hell, she could only pick one, and it was a road that had no return. She really tried her best to listen to his advice and stay in heaven, but she would rather be with him in hell.
Song Qingchun took a deep breath and slowly walked down toward Su Zhinian. Her every step was filled with conviction like her every single step was a hard decision to be made.
“You have not been living up to your promise, haven’t you?
“You have been lying to me, haven’t you?
“You never intended to return to the world of light; from the very beginning, after you shoved me back to the human world, you’ve been prepared to stay in hell, haven’t you?”
The three consecutive questions from Song Qingchun unsettled Su Zhinian. He did not know how to answer.
When Song Qingchun was one step away from Su Zhinian, she stopped. The elevation of the staircase balanced out their height difference. She stared right into his eyes and smiled. Her words were as gentle as the lapping of water.
“Su Zhinian, how about I come down to hell to accompany you?”
