Sumo couldn't help but chuckle. He fell into nostalgia and said, "Why do you still remember this? It's been so long, so long that I don't even remember it. If you didn't bring it up …"
When he spoke of this matter, there was an obvious struggle in Su Mo's eyes.
Ye Xuan didn't look at him. The two of them were sitting one meter away from each other. Ye Xuan looked down at the lights and continued, "Back then, you were already stronger than me, but you gave way to me and let me get the Cloud Dragon Pellet. After that, you were beaten up by the elders of your family. You were so pitiful back then …"
Ye Xuan giggled as she talked about this.
The beautiful laughter of a nightingale added a lot of beauty to this night filled with lights.
Sumo could only lower his head in guilt and laugh along with Ye Xuan. However, it was a bit awkward. He couldn't believe that the difference between him and the current him was so huge.
"There is one more important thing. Once, I ran away from home and went to the Eastern Royal Palace. I was almost killed there, and it was you who saved me and brought me back from there. This is the most memorable thing in my life. Until now, I still haven't thanked you, but I still remember it in my heart. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have the life I have now."
When she finished, Ye Xuan looked at the man next to her. Her eyes were already filled with tears. This was the most touching thing in her life.
Sumo avoided her eyes. Even though so many years had passed and so many things had happened, Ye Xuan was still like a child. Her eyes were still so clear. Sumo, on the other hand, was no longer the hot-blooded young man who would give up everything, including his dignity and future, just because he liked someone.
In this world, power and conspiracies had long since washed away his soul into incomparable turbidity.
"About that, haha, actually, I didn't remember it. It's all in the past. We were good friends back then. Me saving you was the right thing to do. I believe you would have done the same. But, you don't know, because I saved a genius like you, I was punished after I went back." Sumo said emotionally.
"Punishment." Ye Xuan frowned. She didn't know about this.
"After that, I haven't seen you for half a year."
"Yeah."
Su Mo nodded and said, "Because for that half a year, I was recuperating from my injuries. I was beaten up. Our Su family has always been like this. If you do something wrong, you must be punished. Take me for example. When I was young, I was more rebellious, and the punishment was endless. I had my hands and feet broken many times. But now that I'm strong, I've sent those who punished me to hell."
Speaking of this, Sumo's face was still calm.
Ye Xuan shook her head. The Su family's competition rules were indeed much crueler. Especially after Sumo fell in love with a genius from a rival family, he was almost abandoned. All these years, if it wasn't for Sumo's hard work, he wouldn't have been able to stand out from the crowd and achieve what he had today.
The two of them chatted about things that had happened in the past. Now that they thought about it, it was indeed hilarious. Ye Xuan and Su Mo both laughed from time to time.
Soon, it was late at night. The night wind was cold and whistling. At this moment, Ye Xuan and Sumo had subconsciously moved closer to each other. As they chatted and laughed, Sumo's eyes flashed with struggle, but in the end, he couldn't hide the coldness in his heart.
"What's wrong with you? You're shaking."
Suddenly, Ye Xuan stopped smiling. She looked at the dark sky in the distance and said. The strong wind blew her hair behind her ears, revealing her pale cheeks.
"Yeah." Sumo awkwardly moved his body and said, "Really?"
The two didn't continue the topic. Sumo smiled and said, "It's about time. I'll give you a surprise, how about it?"
Ye Xuan's eyes brightened. She smiled and said, "Hurry up."
Sumo acted mysteriously. He waved his hand, and in the dead silent night sky, a few rumbling noises were heard.
"Look ahead." Sumo pointed at the night sky in front of them.
Ye Xuan quickly looked over.
Colorful fireworks shot into the night sky and formed a few big words in the sky.
"Ye Xuan, I love you."
Behind them, there were two more young men who were named Sumo.
This time, there should be millions of people in the Spirit City who saw the beautiful fireworks. The big words were bold and simple, just like Sumo's style.
Ye Xuan was stunned.
Suddenly, the fireworks disappeared. But in her heart, she couldn't calm down.
Sumo saw that she was deep in thought, so he didn't disturb her. Time passed slowly. Cheers came from below. In fact, in the eyes of the Spirit City's residents, Sumo and Ye Xuan were a match made in heaven.
Su Mo knew that this bold move of his would definitely make Ye Xuan's heart waver a little. As expected, once Ye Xuan wavered a little and accepted him, then he would be able to move on to the most important step, which was the Great Fragrance of Beauty Pill.
To be honest, all his preparations tonight were for the sake of the Outstanding Beauty Heavenly Fragrance Pill.
"Erm, I still have a gift for you."
Sumo stuttered. As long as Ye Xuan didn't have her guard up at the beginning, once he took out the Beauty Pill, opened the box, and broke the pill, the two of them would be immersed in it. Not only Ye Xuan, but even Sumo himself would fall into a sea of lust when he smelled the scent of the Beauty Pill.
"Wait."
At that moment, Ye Xuan waved her hand and said, "Don't give me anything. I have something in my heart that I need to tell you."
"Erm …" Sumo was stunned. He had worked so hard to create this opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it. He insisted, "Let's talk about it after I give you the gift."
"All these years, I have received a lot of gifts from you. Sumo, today is the fifteenth of August. Those few words you just said were the biggest gift you have ever given me. I am very touched. Therefore, I have decided that there are some things that I have been suppressing in my heart that I want to ask you …"
Ye Xuan seemed to be a little emotional. She had made up her mind. What Sumo had prepared before had moved her a lot. Even Sumo himself didn't expect it. He only wanted to move Ye Xuan, but he didn't expect it to backfire.
"You are very nervous."
Ye Xuan stood up and stood in the middle of the tower. Sumo had no choice but to stand up with her. He was so close to success, but Ye Xuan suddenly changed her mind. It seemed like he would have to continue holding it in.
"No, no way."
At that moment, Ye Xuan's eyes were filled with a kind of insight that Su Mo couldn't look at directly. Under the moonlight, this beautiful woman actually made Su Mo feel ashamed of his own inferiority.
Ever since he was young, he had never felt like this.
"The reason why I told you this is because I feel that if I don't tell you now, I might hurt you. I am sorry …" Ye Xuan shook her head in pain. She looked at Sumo and said, "All this time, I have liked a pure love. I like someone who treats me well and is loyal to me. A long time ago, you were willing to do anything stupid for me. You were even willing to sacrifice your life for me. I really liked you back then … I also thought that we would have a wonderful future together …"
As she said this, Ye Xuan's eyes were filled with tears. Sumo's heart skipped a beat. It was like under Ye Xuan's gaze, he had a feeling that he couldn't hide anything, and all his secrets were exposed in front of Ye Xuan.
"What are you talking about?" Sumo smiled embarrassedly.
"I'm talking about … But then, you became not the Sumo I knew. It seems like one day, I realized that you had the scent of other women on you. All kinds of women. You kept more and more things from me, and I couldn't see through you anymore. I had to be careful when dealing with you. Even today, you still have the scent of Su Xue on you. Sumo, do you know why I never let you touch me all these years? It's because of your carelessness. I am stronger than you, and I can sense a lot of things that you can't predict."
Su Mo was completely dumbfounded by these questions.
It was like a bolt out of the blue, Sumo was stunned.
In fact, he often asked himself why he had given so much, but still couldn't get this woman. Sometimes, he didn't want to give up, and he thought that Ye Xuan was just acting all high and mighty, but in her heart, he was no longer the same person he used to be.
"So, even until today, we still haven't had a good ending." Ye Xuan bit her pink lips, her voice was filled with sorrow.
Sumo took two steps back. He didn't know what to say at this moment, and his heart was in a mess. After taking two steps back, Sumo's face turned ferocious. He raised his head and asked, "You will only blame everything on me. If it wasn't for you, would I have changed like this? If it wasn't for me giving you so much, but you still wouldn't accept me, would I be so disheartened, and wouldn't even be able to control my own body? Besides, even if I have the scent of other women on me, so what? I am a normal man, and I need to vent. You changed me …"
At this moment, Su Mo's emotions were stirred up, and he completely forgot about the Outstanding Beauty Heavenly Fragrance Pill.
