I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 795: Heading to the Moonlight, What's the Point of Being Proud?

It's quiet at night.

Everything was silent, with only a tiny glimmer of light coming from the Lanyuan study.

The huge floor-to-ceiling window was not completely closed. A corner of the expensive silk curtain was lifted by the night wind, and the pool of autumn water outside the window embraced the shimmering moonlight.

Shen Lanxi sat alone in a large armchair, his figure almost blending into the dark leather. He stared motionlessly at the flawless white rice paper on the table, like a cold, jade statue.

The study was filled with the mixed scent of old books and cold sandalwood. It was so quiet that one could hear the gentle hum of the filament and, in the distance, the subtle sound of the pool water tapping against the stone bank.

Everything that had happened recently flashed through Shen Lanxi's mind like fragments, and now it was finally connected into a line, and a clear conclusion emerged in his mind:

——Jiang Huashan is trying her best to stop something from happening.

He was too narrow-minded. When he first realized that time and space were getting confused, the first thing he thought of was that she was moving away from him, and he even racked his brains to think about how to save the relationship.

It was only at this moment, after discarding all prejudices and truly examining everything from Jiang Huashan's perspective, that he realized how ridiculous he was. Her gaze had never been narrowly focused on a single person; it was gazing at a much wider and vaster world.

It is precisely because she sees the world differently that she would do what she knew was impossible and try her best to fight for a way out for Yu Sheng.

Shen Lanxi couldn't help but recall every frame of the scene and every word she said when she held an umbrella for him in the rain at Qinyuan.

He could sense that when Grandpa punished him today, Jiang Huashan was more nervous than ever. This nervousness was clearly different from her usual attitude of watching the fun. But he believed he had never been dissatisfied with Grandpa's teachings, so why was she so nervous?

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility.

She had experienced the entire process of "Shen Lanxi" arguing with her grandfather and even completely alienating him, so she couldn't wait to rush over at the slightest sign of trouble. She carefully comforted him, trying to reverse a certain established trajectory.

Thinking of this, Shen Lanxi felt inexplicably ashamed. Although he tried his best to tell himself that it was not him, who could predict what would happen in the future?

And that sentence still lingers in his mind until now:

——"Shen Lanxi, don't wait until you lose something to cherish it. Once it's lost, it's gone."

There was a certain depth in these words, and he tried hard to understand them.

Will he lose his grandfather in the future?

But people will eventually lose everything they have, which seems to be inconsistent with what Jiang Huashan wants to express.

Suddenly, a flash of astonishment flashed across Shen Lanxi's eyes, and an unbelievable thought struck him. He stood up abruptly, and the sharp sound of the chair legs rubbing against the floor was particularly abrupt in the silence.

If Grandpa had died of old age, she would not use the word "lost", just like she never felt that she had lost Grandma Wu, because in her eyes, loss was not remembrance, but regret.

If it wasn't a natural death... then... he was murdered?!

As soon as he thought of this, Shen Lanxi felt the blood in his body suddenly flow backwards, and a cold chill rushed up from the soles of his feet, instantly gripping his heart, and even his fingertips felt numb.

and so……

Jiang Huashan tried every possible means, even at the risk of getting involved in a whirlpool, to prevent... the death of her grandfather?

She wants to save Grandpa? !

Shen Lanxi suddenly felt as if he had grasped a turning point in time and space. He turned, opened the wooden window behind him, and stared blankly at the bright moon in the sky. Moonlight poured in like a waterfall, falling gently and silently on his shoulders from a distant time and space.

After a long time, he looked away in frustration.

Moonlight would not respond to him, just like she, keeping such a big secret, and never thought of trusting him, but he already had the answer in his heart.

With her personality, if she really hated him to the core, why would she step into Shen Garden again and again and deal with this deep water?

But she didn't leave. She stayed here the whole time. During this period, she forced Fang Mei to leave, saved Fu Sui'er, awakened the dormant Shen Mianzhi, and even... the deaths of Shen Zhi and Shen Yijie...

What if she wasn't there?

Fu Sui'er may still be trapped in the Fu family, Shen Jiao will die, Shen Mianzhi will continue to be mediocre and idle, and Shen Zhi and Shen Yiji will still lurk in the dark like poisonous snakes.

And today's crucial letter.

If she hadn't intervened, my grandfather would have been so furious that he would have completely disappointed my great-uncle, causing him an irreparable regret in his lifetime.

Her arrival and all her actions seemed to be desperately trying to fill a huge, silent gap...

Shen Lanxi could no longer suppress the turmoil in her heart. She turned around resolutely, and her clothes cut through the silence and moonlight in the room.

Running towards the moonlight, what is there to be proud of?
