Substitute Rival

The early morning light filtered through the thin curtains of Meng Qingshan's room, casting a soft glow across the space. Meng Qingshan sat on the edge of his bed, the previous night's emotional upheaval still weighing heavily on him. Sua Quan had stayed by his side, providing comfort and reassurance through the long, painful hours.

As the first light of dawn broke, Sua Quan finally broke the silence. She turned to Meng Qingshan with a concerned look. "What do I call you now? Chen Ning or...?"

Meng Qingshan looked up, his expression resolute. "No, Chen Ning is dead," he said firmly, his voice steady but tinged with sadness. "I am Meng Qingshan now, and I'm my own person. I need to build my own life, separate from who I was before."

Sua Quan's eyes widened slightly at his declaration. "Are you sure? This isn't something you have to decide in haste."

Meng Qingshan nodded, a determined glint in his eyes. "I am sure. Chen Ning was a part of my past, but Meng Qingshan is who I am now. I need to forge my own path and make my own decisions. I'm done being defined by others' expectations."

A moment of silence passed between them, and Meng Qingshan's expression softened. "I'm sorry, brother," he murmured quietly, his voice barely audible. "I didn't mean for any of this to happen. But I need to move forward, for my own sake."

Sua Quan studied him, noting the profound resolve in his eyes. She took a deep breath, her gaze warm and supportive. "If you're ready to be Meng Qingshan, then that's who you are. And I'll be here to support you in whatever you choose to do."

Meng Qingshan managed a small, appreciative smile. "Thank you, Sua. Your support means more to me than you know. I'm ready to face whatever comes next, even if it's not easy."

Sua Quan nodded, a reassuring smile on her face. "We'll face it together. You've already shown so much strength, and I know you'll continue to be strong."
