Chapter 259: Xiancha’s Role in Destiny, Proud Snow Red Plum’s Choice
Soon, Meng Yu arrived.
Looking at the Proud Snow Red Plum in front of her, the usually bold Meng Yu seemed a bit restrained at this moment.
Ten days ago, Tianxuan suddenly sent a letter to her, telling her that this letter was left by Xiancha.
She followed the address on the letter and came to this place, then met with Proud Snow Red Plum and learned about Chen Shisan’s past.
To be honest, whether it was by order of priority or emotional depth, Proud Snow Red Plum was more qualified than her to like Chen Shisan.
It was precisely because of this that Meng Yu felt so constrained in front of Proud Snow Red Plum.
“Meng Yu, why are you just standing there? Hurry and take a seat!”
Faced with Proud Snow Red Plum’s warmth, Meng Yu finally couldn’t hold back.
“Hongmei Jie, the young thief really likes you, you shouldn’t reject him.”
“I know, but does liking someone mean you have to be together?”
“There are many people like that, fated yet not meant to be, you and Thirteen are one such case.”
“But…”
Meng Yu wanted to say more, but she was interrupted by Proud Snow Red Plum raising her hand.
“Even if I’m with him, what of it?”
“Should I let him watch me grow old and d*e slowly, or should I tie him to this little Gold Mountain City for a lifetime?”
“Thirteen is a good boy; his achievements shouldn’t be limited to a small Gold Mountain City.”
“His accomplishments should be in the vast Crimson Realm outside.”
“I understand that you are immortals, and you have many wondrous means; you could make me an immortal too.”
“But I can’t walk the rugged path of immortality; if I had that resolute heart, I wouldn’t have chosen to compromise in the first place.”
“So I’m destined not to accompany Thirteen; the only one who can accompany Thirteen is you, do you understand?”
After hearing this, Meng Yu fell silent, feeling as if she was stealing love.
Seeing this, Proud Snow Red Plum smiled and took Meng Yu’s hand.
“Sister, my foolish younger brother is extremely stubborn and a bit petty.”
“You don’t know him well, but I do.”
“Given his personality, if someone calls him a petty thief, he won’t let it go easily.”
“But you can say it so casually; that implies something you should understand.”
As she said this, a glimmer of light flashed in Meng Yu’s eyes.
Proud Snow Red Plum continued, “When I met Thirteen, he was only eleven, and I was fifteen.”
“His first feelings of love were just budding; he didn’t understand what love truly was.”
“His feelings for me were mixed with familial affection, friendship, and a touch of infatuation.”
“When he grows up, his feelings will be the true love between a man and a woman.”
“If Thirteen’s feelings for me were romantic, he wouldn’t hesitate when facing you.”
“This hesitation has nothing to do with looks, abilities, status, or any other external conditions.”
“For example, if I asked you to choose between Xiancha and Thirteen, would you hesitate?”
“Xiancha is handsome, exceptionally capable; I’m sure all his other qualities are equally outstanding.”
“Under such conditions, you would still firmly choose Thirteen without a second thought, right?”
Upon hearing this, Meng Yu nodded.
“Just so. People meet many others in their lifetime.”
“These people will all play a role in your life.”
“I can only play the role of an elder sister in Thirteen’s life.”
“One who carries a different hue in the heart of a young man.”
After saying this, Proud Snow Red Plum patted Meng Yu’s hand and smiled.
“I’ve said everything I needed to say; you all should go now.”
“This little thatched house of mine may serve as a brief resting spot for you, but it cannot be a place for your permanent stay.”
Hearing this, Meng Yu looked up and softly said, “Hongmei Jie, can I see your face?”
“I might be able to restore your appearance.”
Faced with Meng Yu’s request, Proud Snow Red Plum generously removed her veil.
A network of hideous scars crossed her exquisite face in a crisscross pattern.
However, just as Meng Yu was contemplating which Dan Pill could heal the scars on Proud Snow Red Plum’s face, she took out a Dan Pill from her sleeve and swallowed it.
As the pill entered her belly, a refined beauty emerged before Meng Yu’s eyes.
“Three years ago, when Xiancha left, he left behind a pill that could restore one’s appearance.”
“I once thought this item was useless, but today it can fulfill this little wish of yours.”
Saying this, Proud Snow Red Plum donned her veil once again.
“Go on, and tell Thirteen.”
“From now on, I don’t want to see him again.”
…
Outside the house.
Chen Changsheng was bored as he squatted under a tree, counting ants, while Chen Shisan stood nearby like a block of wood.
After a long while, Chen Shisan spoke up, “Xiancha, you called Meng Yu over, didn’t you?”
“Yes.”
“The treasure I gave Tianxuan was actually a letter.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s answer, Chen Shisan fell silent for a moment before speaking.
“Xiancha, what you’re doing isn’t right.”
“This isn’t my intent; you’re forcing Hongmei.”
“Is that so?”
“My thoughts differ slightly from yours; your intent is like this, but you don’t know how to face Hongmei.”
“Human emotions cannot simply be controlled by reason; to put it more simply, you can’t control whom you fall in love with.”
“You also cannot control who you don’t fall in love with.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Shisan pursed his lips and said, “Xiancha’s words, Thirteen doesn’t understand.”
“Still don’t understand?”
“No problem, I’ll simplify it further.”
“Between Proud Snow Red Plum and Meng Yu, you can only hurt one person. Who will you choose to hurt?”
Once these words were spoken, Chen Shisan fell silent, as he didn’t know how to choose either.
After three years of experience, Chen Shisan was no longer the naive young man he once was.
He understood a lot more and was stronger in ability, but when it came time to make a choice, it had become increasingly difficult.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng stood up and patted Thirteen’s shoulder, saying, “Kid, your sword is sharp enough to cut through all weapons in the world.”
“But this little human heart is far more resilient than all weapons in the world.”
“It is important to stay true to your heart, but you must understand what your true heart is.”
“What role Proud Snow Red Plum plays in your life.”
Hearing this, Chen Shisan turned his gaze toward the thatched house not far away.
He was fully aware of the role Hongmei played in his heart.
At the same time, he also clearly understood the role he played in Hongmei’s heart.
“Xiancha, is there really no way to have it all in this world?”
“There may be for others, but not for you.”
