Chapter 259: Because I Love You, You Win
So, please give me a chance to be good to you.
Thanks everyone, my speech is over."
As his final note fell, thunderous applause erupted from the audience, wave after wave, unceasing.
A thin mist of tears clung to Munni’s bright almond-shaped eyes, blurring her vision, yet she could clearly see that familiar figure she had chased for years, stepping down from the stage and walking toward her one step at a time.
No matter how proud and rational a person is, when caught in the web of love, they will transform into a fool without intelligence.
Munni was once lost in the world of emotions. After her divorce, she thought she had found a way out, but ultimately realized it was all an illusion. Only he was her true way out.
Even if she had been hurt to the core, even if she had vowed never to repeat her mistake by returning to Yisen.
However, at the moment she turned to leave, the figure she chased for years finally turned around and noticed her. She wanted to say... damn the vow!
Let them laugh at her sentimentality and lack of ambition, call her weak; she feared nothing, for she knew clearly that no matter how battered and scarred, she couldn’t completely let him go.
Yisen, because I love you, so you won.
Xu Yisen stood in front of Munni, his gaze warm and jade-like, rippling with indulgence and tenderness.
He asked, "Munni, how did I perform?"
Munni raised her head to look at him, a gentle curve gracing the corner of her lips. She nodded, sincerely praising, "Yes, it was brilliant."
"Thank you." Xu Yisen rarely showed shyness as he gently arched his brows, seating himself beside her on the right.
Xu Yisen’s speech pushed the ceremony to a climax. Though the speech ended, the ceremony continued, yet everyone’s attention was captured by the pair sitting in the back row corner, leaving them uninterested in watching the ceremony earnestly.
Fifteen minutes before the ceremony ended, Xu Yisen took Munni’s hand and quietly left the hall.
"You probably haven’t been to Wensheng in a long time. I’ll take you around."
Ten years had passed; Wensheng had undergone numerous changes, no longer resembling the image from before.
Munni looked up at Xu Yisen, then nodded, "Yes."
She remembered, the year she first met Xu Yisen, he was a third-year student at Wensheng, with exceptional grades and extensive knowledge, the college entrance exams posed no trouble to him, allowing him to continue practicing piano, train with the basketball team, and enjoy leisure activities.
To get close to him, Munni would often visit Wensheng Private High School, watch his basketball training, attend every concert he performed in, and every basketball match he competed in.
The two walked through the shaded paths, entering the nearby indoor gymnasium, empty due to the fiftieth anniversary celebration.
Xu Yisen led Munni to sit in the front row of the audience seats. Munni stared at the vast empty basketball court, and suddenly, images of the court from years ago flooded her mind.
Back then, countless girls sat in the audience cheering for Xu Yisen, just like her.
His outstanding appearance, unique aura, and exceptional skills made other men on the basketball court mere backdrops to him.
He seemed to carry his own spotlight, becoming the focal point no matter where he went, drawing every gaze to follow his steps uncontrollably.
