Can we not be brave...
I’ve always really liked this song.
Back then, I just thought the lyrics were a bit sad, but listening to it now, it’s more than just sad.
This made the tears in her eyes fall even more fiercely, completely unstoppable.
The driver uncle glanced through the rearview mirror at Ning Wan in the back a few tis. Probably realizing sothing was off with her emotions, he finally couldn’t help but speak after a few minutes of silence, "Young lady, was that your boyfriend just now?"
Ning Wan blinked, the tears in her eyes falling even more. She wanted to speak but just felt her jaw sore, directly shook her head gloomily, and forced out a few words with a teary voice, "No, he’s the one I like."
Boyfriend?
If Xi Mohan were her boyfriend, she’d have jumped up with joy long ago, not be sitting in a taxi crying.
But reality always made her feel miserable. Not only was Xi Mohan not her boyfriend, but also because Xi Mohan disliked her. Forget about being her boyfriend. It’s likely that Xi Mohan doesn’t even want to be with her, Zuo Peng.
She couldn’t figure out what she did wrong or what was wrong with her that made Xi Mohan unable to like her, and even worse, dislike her that much.
The driver uncle probably also didn’t expect this result. He was slightly stunned, glanced through the rearview at Ning Wan again, and only continued after a long while, "The person you like, huh? Young lady, sunshine is indeed nice. That man is really good-looking, but from his reaction just now, he doesn’t seem to like you?"
Ning Wan was taken aback, the tears fell more fiercely, she nodded and mumbled an acknowledgnt.
The car stopped at the traffic light, and seeing Ning Wan crying even harder, the driver uncle felt a bit guilty, cursing himself secretly for not having a better way with words.
After stopping the car, the driver uncle took a few tissues from the front and handed them to Ning Wan, saying, "Young lady, if you feel upset, you can cry, but don’t cry for too long. I have a daughter your age, she used to like a boy, and that boy didn’t like her either. She cried once just like you, but she felt better after crying... uh, sorry, I’m not great with words..."
Ning Wan took the tissues from the driver uncle, shook her head, and spoke, "Uncle, I’m fine, I’m just a bit suddenly sad."
The driver uncle, afraid that he might make things worse if he spoke any further, stayed silent, and the radio continued playing the song "Can We Not Be Brave."
After crying for a while, Ning Wan quieted down, her emotions stabilized, though her eyes appeared a bit red.
Sniffling, she turned her gaze to the scenery outside. Originally, Xi Mohan’s words had already made her want to give up, but now, she inexplicably felt as though her empty heart had suddenly been revived, and her fighting spirit rose again.
She wasn’t going to give up that easily.
...
When Xi Mohan returned to his office, Lin Musen had already co down from the rooftop and was waiting for him in his office.
Seeing Xi Mohan return, he imdiately stood up from the sofa and quickly walked towards Xi Mohan, "Hey, where did you guys go? Where did you take Ning Wan? Where’s Ning Wan?"
When asking about Ning Wan, he deliberately looked behind Xi Mohan, but seeing no sign of Ning Wan, Lin Musen’s brows furrowed and he even went to check if Ning Wan was outside the door, but still didn’t see her. Instantly, Lin Musen was displeased, returned to Xi Mohan’s side, and followed closely behind, anxiously asking, "Wanwan? Where did you take her just now? Where is she?"
Xi Mohan’s footsteps halted, he turned directly to look at Lin Musen, his brows slightly furrowed with a touch of displeasure.
