Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded."I know, Qin Chu is a respectable opponent. When our companies were competing against each other, he never used any despicable methods against me... I like people who are open and straightforward... Winning and losing isn't as important as a person's character... Humans are different from animals because we can feel the seven emotions and six desires. We have hearts of mercy and compassion. Animals, on the other hand, act unscrupulously just to achieve their goal..."
"I'm Qin Chu's only weakness... a weakness he might die from... Therefore, if I don't help him at a time like this, then no one will. I can endure a hundred curses about me, but zero about him, " Huo Mian said as she raised her glass and smiled, "I'm going to chug everything in my glass now, but you don't have to."
Then, Huo Mian drank the entire glass of baijiu, sending goosebumps up Su Yu's spine."Don't drink so fast, you'll get drunk."
"It's okay, I didn't come tonight to stay sober..."
"Ha... aren't you afraid that I'll take advantage of you when you're drunk?" Su Yu asked jokingly, and she looked at him with a calm expression on her face."Are you going to though?"
Upon hearing this question, Su Yu froze for a second; would he take advantage of her? No, he wouldn't, if he wanted to use such despicable means to get Huo Mian, he wouldn't have waited until this day.
Huo Mian knew Su Yu well, that was why she trusted him so much. This thought touched him and made him feel despair at the same time.
He was touched because Huo Mian trusted him... and he felt despair because it seemed like there would always be an uncrossable trench between them, and that trench was Qin Chu.
"Huo Mian..." Su Yu said quietly.
"Mhm?"
"If, and I'm saying 'if' here, Qin Chu doesn't make it back... what do you plan on doing?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Mian's expression turned grim and she fell silent.
"Are you going to die with him like last time?" He asked with a heavy heart.
"I won't let anything happen to Qin Chu... Huo Siqian pushed us into such a tight corner, but I'm not going to just sit around, waiting to be chopped up into pieces."
"You have an idea?" Su Yu immediately asked, and Huo Mian smiled."I do, but it's still in the works, I'll tell you about it later..."
Then, she glanced around Su Yu's living room."Your mansion is so luxurious. This isn't a house, it's more like an aquarium."
That was exactly how she felt when looking up at all the fish swimming around.
"I like marine life, especially fish."
"Why?" Huo Mian asked Su Yu with a smile, and he replied, "Because fish only remember things for seven seconds before forgetting about all their troubles. I envy them."
Upon hearing this, however, Huo Mian shook her head."I don't like that."
"Why not?" Su Yu looked confusedly at Huo Mian.
"We can just ignore the bad memories, but I would never want to forget them... What if you encounter someone who means a lot to you? If you forget about them, you won't think about them... what's the fun in life then?"
Then, she called his name, "Su Yu..."
"Mhm?"
"If I die one day, will you forget me?" Huo Mian remembered asking him this. To Su Yu, this question may be cruel, but it was also a possible reality.
