Nothing To Give But My Heart

After thinking about it, Tang Yuanyuan still decided to leave first.

She separated from the lively group of people beside her without the two of them noticing.

When she got out of the amusement park, she suddenly felt like laughing from the feeling of emptiness inside.

I actually thought Yishu would like me.

After closing her eyes for a moment, she opened his wallet once again and took out the photo from inside, and placed it in her own wallet.

Although it was his family photo and she did not have the right to take it, she was also in the photo. It should not matter that she took it then, right? Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She wanted to be a part of his family, but not the type of family that he was thinking of.

After she took the photo away, she quickly walked ahead.

Inside the amusement park, Wen Jingrou crossed her arms as she looked at Yuchi Yishu, who did not see her at all.

“You’re the one who invited me here, but you’re also the one who is not talking to me right now, Yuchi Yishu. Although I like you, you still can’t humiliate me like this, don’t you think?”

Yuchi Yishu did not say a word.

“I was curious why you invited me out so suddenly. After all, everyone knows that I, Wen Jingrou, like you, but you, Yuchi Yishu, don’t like me.”

“Now…” Wen Jingrou looked in a certain direction and smirked. “I think I know why.”

She said bluntly, “You like your sister, don’t you?”

The way she said that made him frown. “Not my biological sister.”

“Of course I know you aren’t biologically related. But you guys are childhood friends who grew up together and she just got used to calling you her brother. Did you think I wouldn’t know? I like you so I know everything about you, including about Tang Yuanyuan. How else did you think I found her school the last time?”

Yuchi Yishu was rendered speechless.

“I asked you if you liked her just now, but you didn’t deny it and even corrected me to say that she isn’t your biological sister.”

Her words were extremely sharp.

He had not said anything yet but the tips of his fingers on either side of him started to tremble as his emotions became complicated.

“Since you’re so sure about who has your attention, why did you still drag me out here?” Wen Jingrou looked slightly disappointed. “Before I came here, I thought all my efforts were finally coming through. I didn’t think it would be so short-lived. Oh no; I shouldn’t say short-lived since there wasn’t anything to start with.”

“Fine.” She smiled. “If it were anybody else, I might think there was something wrong with your eyes. But if it’s Tang Yuanyuan, then I will accept my defeat. This relationship built from childhood is not something that just anyone can replace.”

A lot of childhood friends who grew up together, except if they did not meet the other person’s standards, would end up liking each other. As time went on, their feelings for each other would only grow deeper.

But that only applied if they had feelings for each other. If they did not, then none of this would matter.

However, Wen Jingrou was able to see how Yuchi Yishu felt about Tang Yuanyuan and dismissed her own thoughts from her mind.

Once she finished speaking, she looked at the Ferris wheel that had completed its round a long time ago. She pondered, then asked, “Are you worried that she doesn’t really like you and is only relying on you?”

He frowned and took a good look at Wen Jingrou for the first time. She had accurately guessed all his thoughts.

“Is that how this day came to be? To be honest, it makes me feel quite bad that you used me like this but I’ll just let it go since I like you. It’s simple if you want to know whether or not she’s relying on you. If she likes you enough, even if she thinks you’re with someone else, she will still continue to like you. In a year or two, if she still doesn’t find a boyfriend, then you should have your answer.”

“Of course, if she does find a boyfriend and is very happy, then you should also have your answer.”

Before she walked away, she thought of something. “Just a friendly heads up; Yuanyuan left the amusement park ten minutes ago.”

“What did you say?” His expression changed. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

She took a few steps closer to him and had a mischievous look on her face. “Take it as a punishment for using me. At least I’m telling you now.”

He fell silent for a moment. “Thanks a lot.”

Then, he turned around and walked off very quickly. The smile on her face faded as she stood where she was and watched his back with a clenched jaw.

“D*mn it. He’s such a great guy. After meeting someone like him, how would I ever find a partner in the future?”

…

After Tang Yuanyuan left the amusement park, she kept walking forward in no particular direction.

She did not know how long she walked for either. When she looked up, she saw a milk tea shop in front of her. Without a second thought, she walked in.

“Hello. What would you like to have?”

“Milk tea.”

“Sure; please wait for a moment.”

“Wait,” she called out to the server. With a dull expression, she said, “I want ten cups.”

The look on the server’s face hardened. “Ten cups? For takeaway?”

“No, I’m going to drink it here.”

With that, she handed over the money. “Thank you.”

Upon seeing the money being handed over, the server explained awkwardly, “That’s not what I meant. I was just wondering if you can finish all ten cups.”

“I should be able to.”

“Okay then; I’ll get them ready for you.”

While Tang Yuanyuan waited for the milk tea, she lowered her head and stared at the table.

I stayed away from milk tea and chocolate this whole time so I could approach Yishu with my best self. But?

It turns out I’ve been delusional about everything.

No matter how much I change, if he doesn’t like me then he doesn’t like me. If he does like me, then he shouldn’t mind what I look like, right?

It was like how she did not like Zhong Chufeng. Even if he treated her well, her feelings for him would always only be platonic. It would never become anything more.

That was how Yuchi Yishu saw her. Because he had taken her as his little sister since the beginning, she had become part of his family and he would never like her in any other way.

It was not just for the moment; it would not happen in the future either.

Soon, the ten cups of milk tea were served.

Tang Yuanyuan pulled her focus back and grabbed one cup to drink.

As soon as she had one sip, the taste of the milk tea that she had longed for overwhelmed all her taste buds.

Plop. Plop.

The tears also fell from the corners of her eyes. Before the server walked away, she happened to witness that scene and asked out of concern, “Are you okay?”

When she opened her mouth to speak, the tears fell even harder. Beads of tears fell one after the other into the milk tea.

She cried as she drank the milk tea and shook her head at the same time.

“I’m fine. I just think that…” She sobbed and continued, “This milk tea tastes too good. So good that it’s making me cry.”

The server was immensely confused.

The corners of the server’s lips twitched. The milk tea is so good that it’s making her cry? Is it really that good? Even if it were, was there a need to cry?

“Don’t worry. I’m fine. I just haven’t had milk tea in a very, very long time.”
