Chapter 215: Falling into the Lake of Love

Tonight, there are no clouds, so when looking up, one can see a brilliant river of stars.

She lifted her head and smiled upon seeing the starry sky.

"When I was little, I heard about Mercury, and I thought it was a star made of water. I thought it was the most romantic star in the world."

"So every night, whenever I could see the stars, I tried to find it, and now I still do the same."

"Then, you are quite romantic."

Tang Yu praised with a smile.

[What a shame that Mercury can't be seen at night.]

[Due to geographical latitude and topography.]

[Only at dawn and dusk can a small flicker be seen toward the west.]

[Sigh, unfortunately, it's very hard for an informed man like me to be romantic.]

Upon hearing Tang Yu's complaints in her mind, Yang Zhilan couldn't help but laugh.

After he said that, did her romanticism now seem silly?

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Seeing that Yang Zhilan's gaze suddenly became strange, Tang Yu asked confusedly.

"It's nothing."

Yang Zhilan rubbed her nose and asked, "What about you? Do you have a planet you like?"

"The Moon. They say the goddess Chang'e is very beautiful, so I want to see her to know what she's really like."

Tang Yu answered without thinking.

Yang Zhilan couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably. It was definitely something this guy would say.

"Why are you laughing at me? I'm just telling you the truth because I consider you my friend. Unlike you, hiding, asking but not saying anything."

Tang Yu rolled his eyes and said disdainfully.

"I still don't know how to say it."

The shine on Yang Zhilan's face disappeared, replaced by sadness.

"Then think about it little by little; in the end, you'll have to say it. If you don't say it, I'll ask your dad."

Tang Yu lay back on the boat, letting it slowly spin on the lake while humming a song softly.

After listening to Tang Yu hum for a while, Yang Zhilan, curious, asked:

"What song is that? I've never heard it."

"This song… I composed it after hearing you talk about Mercury. I thought it was very romantic, so I impulsively created it. Would you like to hear it?"

Tang Yu, shamelessly, responded.

In this novel world, the culture had some differences; many songs she knew from her original world didn't exist here.

"Sing it, I think it sounds pretty good."

Yang Zhilan blinked and said, clearly interested in the name of the song.

"Alright, if you like it, stop hiding, okay?"

Tang Yu rubbed his hands together, cleared his throat, and began to sing softly.

"I'm obsessed with your eyes, the Milky Way has a trail to follow."

"Through the cracks of time, still real, attracting my trajectory."

His voice was slightly deep, which made this song called Mercury's Memory perfect for him.

After hearing a couple of verses, Yang Zhilan closed her eyes, immersed in the song, feeling the melancholy in the lyrics.

When Tang Yu finished singing, she remained with her eyes closed, not moving.

The moonlight illuminated her face, already extremely captivating, giving her an incredibly beautiful aura.

It made her, already charming, seem a little more like a fairy.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Yu understood what she wanted to say.

He slowly leaned closer, getting closer and closer to her tempting lips.

The instant he almost touched them, Yang Zhilan slowly opened her eyes and looked at him deeply, asking:

"Are you kissing me to heal me or for some other reason?"

"There is some healing in it."

Tang Yu blinked and answered: "But if you're not sick, I'd still kiss you. If I didn't, that would be a sickness."

A blush appeared on Yang Zhilan's face.

She closed her eyes again.

She did it... for the treatment.

Moreover, after hearing that song, she finally understood what he wanted to express.

That song wasn't about Mercury, but rather an indirect way of expressing his feelings.

Just like how Mercury orbits the Sun, so close yet so far, willing to accompany it no matter what.

Wasn't that exactly what was happening between them?

After Tang Yu softly kissed her warm and tender lips, his hands started to get restless, trying to take it a step further.

Just when he was about to succeed, Yang Zhilan pushed him away forcefully.

She then crouched down, hugged her knees, and began crying uncontrollably, shouting: "It can't be."

Tang Yu took two steps back, his eyes wide, frightened by Yang Zhilan's intense reaction.

He could see that Yang Zhilan had completely lost emotional control.

It seemed like her aversion to men was starting to reappear.

"Calm down, what's wrong?"

Tang Yu quickly showed concern.

"It can't be... I can't do this, I promised I would wait for him, I should be his wife."

Yang Zhilan's crying intensified, her emotional change was quite big.

Tang Yu realized that his previous action had probably crossed a psychological line for her, triggering the onset of her disorder.

He quickly touched an acupoint on her body to help stabilize her emotions immediately.

For him, Yang Zhilan's emotional breakdown wasn't a negative thing.

Those extremely negative emotions accumulated in her heart were like a large stone.

Once released, it would be better.

Otherwise, if they stayed hidden for years, sooner or later, she would end up collapsing.

After crying for quite a while, Yang Zhilan finally calmed down a little.

Tang Yu took a handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to her to comfort her: "Wipe your face, you've got snot all over it."

"You're the one with snot..."

Yang Zhilan, weakly crying, handed the handkerchief to Tang Yu with a rough gesture.

"Hey, I can't clean it up."

Tang Yu smiled and jumped backward, falling off the boat.

With a loud "whoa!", the water in the lake rippled with a bunch of waves.

Yang Zhilan got scared.

Just as she was about to approach to help him out of the water, Tang Yu was already climbing back into the boat nimbly.

Seeing that he was soaked, Yang Zhilan couldn't help but laugh through her sobs.

She quickly took a scarf out of her bag and gave it to Tang Yu: "Dry yourself."

"Thanks."

Tang Yu took the scarf, a little embarrassed, and began to dry his face. This time, it was a clumsy move on his part.

Once he dried off, Tang Yu asked: "Can you talk now?"

"It's okay."

After crying, Yang Zhilan didn't feel so resistant to talking about that memory.

She sat on the boat and began to tell him her story.

When she finished, Tang Yu, sitting beside her, realized that her aversion to men was truly the result of a personal emotional experience.

According to her, six years ago, when she was still in college, one day during the holidays, she went out on the street and was attacked by kidnappers.

As the daughter of the magnate Mingzhu, she was always accompanied by bodyguards.

However, those bodyguards were no match for the kidnappers, who were very skilled.

Just when she was about to be kidnapped, a man appeared and saved her, but he was gravely injured and was hospitalized for quite some time.

From that moment on, they started getting to know each other. She went from feeling sympathy to admiration and began to fall in love with him.

Until her father found out and, with a firm hand, separated them.

When she finally found the man, he was already married to another woman.

This blow was devastating for her and gradually led her to close off emotionally, developing her aversion to men.

After hearing this dramatic story, Tang Yu finally understood the origin of the problem.

He asked:

"Have you ever thought that, from the beginning, this man might have planned all of this?"

"Planned all of this?"

Yang Zhilan showed a look of astonishment and confusion.

She had never considered that possibility.
