London has you.
Said lightly and casually, Wushuang's gaze was directed at the sea surface, with a serene smile on her face as if all this were very natural. Such an answer came out without any embarrassment or discomfort.
Kaka’s composure is impressive; upon hearing this, he wasn’t particularly shocked but deeply gazed into Wushuang's eyes. The wind blew up her long hair, seemingly blurring his vision, and suddenly he recalled something from ten years ago.
That year, Wushuang was fifteen years old.
An already graceful young lady with a slender and tall figure, she acted independently and freely. She had just returned from practical training in the Middle East and carried an agile yet domineering aura along with an ambiguous dark atmosphere. Perhaps due to two years of intensive and harsh training, back then Wushuang didn’t know how to contain her sharp edges nor how to naturally exhibit a common person’s side.
He could tell at once that she had just emerged from the arena of hell.
A strange ripple stirred in his heart, feeling akin to someone who understands another's struggles. He took Wushuang around London. After being confined for two years of training, Wushuang played wildly. That was the first time he saw her drunk.
She went to a disco hall to dance. On stage were many people with loud noises and men and women shaking their bodies, releasing daytime pressure and seeking youthful pleasure and excitement. Wushuang seemed to be venting something too, dancing very passionately, arousing the envy of surrounding young men.
She was a mixed-race girl with blood from several countries, having profound facial features yet leaning towards Eastern looks with Western women's height. Her appearance was nearly perfect and stunningly beautiful, making all male hearts flutter.
Kaka feared she might be at a disadvantage; not liking much physical contact in crowded places, he stepped on stage to clear an area for her to dance freely.
If anyone wanted to invite Wushuang to dance together, he would hold her waist and send cold glances that made other men retreat. Who knew that Wushuang suddenly hugged him
He grew up with her; hugging was nothing unusual.
The murmured words in his ear, however, led him into an irreversible abyss.
She said, "Kaka, I like you."
Directly, without any pretense or disguise, she declared her feelings to him while hugging him.
Without prior notice and giving him no chance to react, she opened up her heart to him, letting him in and out freely. How could he not be shocked How could he remain unmoved
He was completely unprepared for this; he even tried fooling himself into thinking that the music was too loud or noisy, perhaps he had misunderstood.
Yes, it must have been a misunderstanding.
Surely, she was drunk and danced crazily, not knowing what she was doing. Even if she said she liked him, it didn't necessarily mean romantic feelings.
It could be the kind of affection between childhood friends.
Afterward, Wu Shuang seemed to forget about this incident entirely and had no idea that her words had caused such a tremor in Kaka's heart. She continued to hang out with him as usual, going shopping and eating together, accompanying him on missions, playfully asking for his company. During those times, Kaka was extremely busy, traveling between North America and the Middle East; Wu Shuang also followed wherever he went but never brought up her declaration of liking again. Eventually, Kaka convinced himself that it had all been a mistake.
Just an illusion.
The dazzling disco hall with its blaring music and colorful lights, combined with Wu Shuang's radiant beauty and heartfelt confession, seemed like a dream he inadvertently dreamed.
No one ever mentioned this incident again.
This matter was left unresolved until New Year's Eve. That year, Chu Li and Rong Yan joined Kaka in Rome to spend the holiday at Mo Family's castle. It was on that night when he accidentally knocked over Wu Shuang’s pen holder in her room and discovered her diary.
Actually, Wu Shuang didn't have the habit of keeping a diary. To be precise, what he opened was a shared journal between him and her, recording their relationship exclusively. He had never known that she harbored such deep feelings for him.
The journal confirmed his suspicion from that night in the disco—the words expressing her affection weren't just a figment of his imagination; Wu Shuang truly said that she liked him.
From the entries, he also learned that Wu Shuang hadn't actually been drunk that night, nor had it been an impulsive act. She pretended to be inebriated because she was afraid of lacking the courage to confess her feelings directly; if she were rejected, she could claim that she was speaking nonsense while intoxicated.
If they couldn’t become lovers, at least they would always remain friends.
When Ka Ka didn't react as expected, Wu Shuang knew what to do—she remained silent and let Ka Ka believe it was a mere illusion.
Though he hadn't intended to read her personal journal, something compelled him to finish the entire book. The diary began before Hai Lian's death, with sporadic entries that also detailed Wu Shuang’s thoughts about the Queen, Princess, and Prince.
In that moment, he realized what had been buried in Wu Shuang's heart for so long.
She never revealed her feelings to him, and it wasn’t because of his insensitivity but due to how well she concealed them. If someone didn't want others to know something, they wouldn't know.
His emotions fluctuated between sorrow and joy.
To be loved by her for so many years was both a blessing and a curse for him.
He wanted to casually put the journal back where it belonged, but Wu Shuang walked in at that moment and saw what he was holding.
The shock was fleeting; Wu Shuang remained calm, taking the diary from his hand and placing it back, then smilingly asked if he had finished reading.
He nodded, still staring at her without a word.
Wushuang sat aside playing games, and there didn't seem to be much for him to ask her.
He wondered if every girl who had their deepest secrets exposed would act as gracefully as Wushuang. She showed no surprise at all, as if it was the most normal thing in the world.
Even when Xiaobai came up and asked them to go downstairs for dinner, they didn't say a word about the diary.
At the dining table, both of them maintained their usual composure, chatting and joking around.
In terms of resilience and endurance, Wushuang and Kaka were quite commendable.
When the twelve o'clock bell rang, Wushuang finally asked him what he thought
He knew that Wushuang was asking about his feelings for her. Since he was aware of her heart's desire, liking or disliking, accepting or rejecting, could be decided with a single word.
Xiaobai and Moyan were setting off fireworks.
The midnight fireworks were dazzling, but in his eyes, they lacked any splendor. He smiled and said apologetically that he couldn't forget about Hailan.
He had turned her down.
Hailan was merely a shield; to some extent, it wasn't entirely because of Hailan, but rather due to his own confusion over why he wanted to reject Wushuang.
It was just an intuitive refusal...
Wushuang was straightforward about the whole thing. They agreed to remain good friends and never bring up this matter again. heart.A fool could tell that he was angry.After finishing the cooking, she cut two apples into small pieces and peeled four oranges.
