"What the hell is that bird-brained fellow up to? Want me to go finish him off?" Yang Ce grew angry at the thought of Li Jialiang. After Xu Li tactfully withdrew from the room, Yang Ce said in no good humor.
"Heh." Su Ya covered her mouth and laughed. "That won't be necessary. With so many people chasing after me, could you really kill them all?"
"It's not impossible," Yang Puqi said with a smile. "I think you'd better stop being a star. Otherwise, with all these flies buzzing around you, I'll be worried."
"Mm, I've actually been considering that. But quitting the music scene isn't something you can just do on a whim. Sometimes you have to think about how the fans feel—they've supported me so much, and I can't bear to disappoint them too badly." Su Ya sighed.
"I was only talking off the top of my head—I won't interfere with your decisions." Yang Hengye smiled. "By the way, could you change back to how you looked as Su Ya? It feels a little strange seeing you like this."
"Better not. This hotel has too many people, and I'm afraid someone might come by later." Su Ya smiled. "But this way, isn't it nice for you? You can pretend you have two girlfriends—oh, wait, you seem to have more than two."
"Jealous?" Yang Xutang caught the tone in Su Ya's voice and his heart gave a start.
"Of course not," Su Ya said with a smile. "How could I possibly be jealous of them all? I think things are quite good as they are."
"If you hadn't transferred schools back then, the two of us would—" Yang Yongjin could not help but sigh. Perhaps if Su Ya had never transferred, there would have been no Chen Shutang or Lin Yanhe afterward. "I feel very content, being able to meet you again." But Su Ya shook her head. "Yang Ce, do you know? I once thought it would be impossible for me to ever be with you in this lifetime."
"How could that be?" Yang Puqi was taken aback, then smiled. "I'm still in Songjiang. If you really wanted to find me, it shouldn't be difficult."
"That's not what I mean," Su Ya shook her head. "I mean your heart. I was afraid that in your heart, I no longer existed."
"Let's not talk about such heavy things," Yang Ce said, feeling that Su Ya seemed a little more melancholy than usual today. "Is everything all right with you?"
"Nothing's wrong. It's just that we've only just met, and now we have to part again—it leaves me feeling a little uneasy." Su Ya spoke with a touch of sorrow. "I don't know why, but I'm a little afraid—afraid that your feelings for me are only the fervor left over from our youth, and that as time goes on, they'll cool."
Hearing Su Ya's words, Yang Juehuan's heart gave a violent shudder. Yes—what exactly were his feelings for Su Ya? Could it really be, as Su Ya said, nothing more than the fervor of youth?
It had to be something else. Every time he saw Su Ya, his heart stirred—not the fever of infatuation, but love. At that thought, Yang Ce smiled and said, "And what about your feelings for me? Are they that same fever of youth?"
"Of course not," Su Ya denied with utter certainty.
"Then there you have it. What you're thinking is exactly what I'm thinking." Yang Ce gently drew Su Ya into his arms and spoke at her ear.
Su Ya trembled at his words, and then a tender smile surfaced in her eyes. Yes—sometimes care clouds the mind; put yourself in the other's place, and the answer comes easily enough.
Time always runs short for lovers. Yang Ce worried that lingering too long in Su Ya's room would do her no good—today's entertainment reporters got in everywhere.
"When I have time, I'll come to Hong Kong to see you."
"When I'm free, I'll come to Songjiang to find you."
The two of them said their farewells almost in unison. Yang Ce held Su Ya one last time, then turned and strode from her room.
"Leaving already?" Xu Li had long since been waiting out in the corridor.
"Yes. Take good care of Xiao Ya for me." Yang Ce nodded and said to Xu Li.
