Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 274 Yu Mo's Hesitation and Determination

3603, Nanfeng and Yumo remained silent, like two reefs standing on the shore.

Even though the reefs remain silent, they cannot change the turbulent waves around them.

Yu Mo sat on the sofa, thinking quietly. Knowing the truth, she gradually understood many things.

She understood why Nanfeng was so aloof towards her, and why Yifei had repeatedly warned Ziqiao that Nanfeng must never drink alcohol.

She also understood why Yifei and Ziqiao would coincidentally carry out such a radical plan to help Nanfeng let go of her inner turmoil.

Because they were all afraid, afraid that Nanfeng wouldn't live to see the day when he could naturally let go of his inner turmoil.

Yu Mo looked at Nan Feng and slowly asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

The south wind shook its head.

"That's strange."

She stared intently at Nanfeng, her tone somewhat harsh: "If you told Zhanbo the truth because you needed his help, then why did you tell me in the first place?"

"Because I promised you that you would receive a share of anything I give to others."

"So if I'm going to tell Zhanbo the truth, of course I have to tell you too."

Nanfeng met Yu Mo's aggrieved and angry gaze and said, "Besides, I think you also need to know the truth."

"Then why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Yu Mo took a deep breath; for the first time, she broke through the barrier between the two of them.

Do you know that I like you?

"I know," Nanfeng nodded in acknowledgment.

Nanfeng's personality has always been like this; he either refuses to say anything no matter what. But since he has chosen to be honest today, he will not continue to hide it.

"So, do you like me?"

"……like."

Nanfeng calmly said the words that should have made Yumo overjoyed: "I had already fallen in love with you during the six nights we spent together."

"Then you should have told me sooner."

Yu Mo angrily questioned Nan Feng: "Yi Fei knew about this, Zi Qiao knew about it, so why couldn't I have known sooner?"

"You think I won't keep your secret?"

Yu Mo knew that she looked like she was being unreasonable.

Because from beginning to end, Nanfeng had no obligation to be honest with her, unless they had officially established a romantic relationship.

Yu Mo knew all of this, but she was still very angry.

Besides anger, there was also an unspeakable heartache.

So this is how he's been getting by for the past three or four years.

Nanfeng was quite understanding of Yu Mo's seemingly unreasonable questioning.

If his and Yu Mo's identities were reversed, even if he wasn't angry, he would definitely resent the other person for not telling him sooner.

This complaint isn't really about being kept in the dark by the other person, but rather about the sadness of not being able to share their burden.

He calmly explained, "I had never told anyone about this before today."

"Neither Yifei nor Ziqiao got the truth from me."

"Yu Mo, you should understand."

"If I could, I would absolutely not tell anyone about this."

"You could even say that the closer someone is to me, the more I care about them, the less I want to tell them."

"Whether one more person knows or one less person knows, it won't change anything; it just means one more person will worry."

"I don't want you to worry about me, especially not this kind of pointless worry."

Nanfeng paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, I admit that I am not so selfless as to always think from everyone's perspective."

"I also have my own selfish motives and my own willfulness."

"All last year, I didn't want people to know the truth, and I didn't want people to look at me with concern and sympathy, because that would make me feel like a weak person."

"But I don't want to be weak, and I can't be weak."

Before Ziqiao and his two friends proposed the "Experience Life" challenge, no one had ever told Nanfeng: You can try to trust and rely on your friends, seek their help, and try to be the weaker party in a relationship.

Whether it's the old man in Nanfeng's family who has a martial arts background and is competitive, or her father who is single-mindedly hoping that Nanfeng can inherit his dream, or Aunt Gu who is extremely career-oriented and talks about profit and value, they all only tell Nanfeng to be a strong person.

The strong cannot tolerate the slightest weakness, while the weak will be eliminated.

Nanfeng has disliked this set of values ​​since childhood, but he has still been subtly influenced by them.

As Yu Mo listened to Nan Feng's explanation, her thick, butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered frequently.

She wanted to continue her unreasonable questioning, to throw a tantrum like a shrew, and to smash the entire 3603.

Even though Yu Mo had a thousand thoughts and ten thousand ideas in her mind, when it came to her words, only one sentence remained.

Have you been happy these past few years?

Nanfeng really didn't expect Yumo to ask this question. He thought for a moment, and before he could even speak, his face was full of smiles: "At the beginning, I was indeed a little depressed and felt that the days were hard to get through."

"But when I learned to live each day as if it were my last, I found my life now to be more interesting than the previous ten years."

"Then I met you, and everyone else. We lived together in the Love Apartment, and many interesting things happened from time to time."

"I am increasingly certain: this is the life I want, this is what I have always dreamed of."

Nanfeng said with a bright smile, "Yu Mo, I've been very happy these past few years, happier every day."

Looking at the sincere and earnest Nanfeng, no matter how complicated her thoughts were or how angry she was, she couldn't vent her anger on this nemesis.

I should have known better than to listen to this bastard's nonsense back then, and impulsively got into his car.

Yu Mo just hummed a few times: "You seem happy now, but I'm not happy, I'm very unhappy!"

"That's why I didn't intend for you to know in the first place."

Nanfeng tentatively asked, "How about... you just forget about it later, and pretend I never said anything?"

Yu Mo was truly amused by Nan Feng's words: "How could you possibly forget something like this so easily?"

Even if my memory is terrible, I shouldn't forget something so important right away.

"Ziqiao seems to have the ability to actively erase memories, why don't you go and learn from him..."

Nanfeng was only halfway through his sentence when Yumo glared at him fiercely.

She wasn't unhappy because she knew about it; she was clearly unhappy because she found out about it so late.

It's one thing that Yifei knew, but even Ziqiao knew about it before I did!

Faced with Yu Mo's annoyance, Nan Feng smiled sheepishly: "Then how should you resolve your unhappiness?"

It has to be said that Nanfeng was prepared for Yumo to fly into a rage and call him a scumbag before he confessed.

It turned out that she was only throwing a little tantrum, which really surprised Nanfeng.

Upon hearing this, Yu Mo's eyes lit up, and she said, "Then... tell me about the happy things that have happened to you in the past few years."

If you can't share Nanfeng's pain, at least share his joy.

Sharing happy moments is like reliving that happiness yourself.

Nanfeng didn't realize Yu Mo's little scheme, but that didn't stop him from agreeing to Yu Mo's request.

So he told Yu Mo in detail about all the interesting and fun things he had encountered during the three years he had run away from home.

However, his memory wasn't much better than Yu Mo's, and the truth he could say was also limited.

Even so, Yu Mo listened with great interest.

"...That's about it."

Nanfeng looked at Yumo: "I've said everything I needed to say and everything I needed to be honest about today. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Yu Mo hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She wanted to ask Nanfeng, "You said before that you only ever considered me a very, very good friend. Was it because of your injury?"

She wanted to ask Nanfeng, "If I don't care about your injuries, then maybe we can..."

Yu Mo's hands clenched until they turned bluish-white. She took a deep breath, as if she had finally made up her mind.

"Nanfeng, let's be together."

Nanfeng blinked, then blinked again.

He's starting to wonder whether he or Yu Mo is more seriously ill.

Do you know what you're saying?

"I know," Yu Mo said firmly.

However, when Nanfeng looked at her flustered and hesitant eyes, he immediately understood that her mind was also in a mess.

This was not a decision made after careful consideration and unwavering resolve by Yu Mo, but rather an instinctive choice she made when she was extremely conflicted and hesitant.

Yu Mo was also uneasy and anxious.

But she still instinctively chose to run towards herself.

Just as she waited for over a year for those six nights before trying to let go, just as she moved into an apartment despite having a house.

Looking at Yu Mo, Nan Feng felt his heart soften even more.

But he still refused Yu Mo.

This is about being responsible to each other.
