The Canary that couldn't escape

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Much Thinner

Turning his head toward the window, Mo Ran fell silent. Is there such a thing as true love in this world?

Gu Yixuan wasn’t sincere with her, fixated only on her body. The love she yearned for was something he wouldn’t offer, and even if he did, she wouldn’t want it.

They weren’t from the same world, doomed never to blend into each other’s lives.

As the car started moving again, Mo Ran kept gazing outside and saw, not far away, a girl chasing after a man.

The girl grabbed the man’s hand, but he shook her off without looking back. Resolute, the girl continued to reach for his hand, over and over, never giving up.

Mo Ran watched with interest, thinking to herself that the girl must really like that guy.

But why didn’t he pay her any attention? Didn’t he realize that acting this way would hurt the girl’s heart?

Finally, the man turned around impatiently, revealing a familiar face. Mo Ran’s eyes widened in shock.

It was Tang Song!

He looked much thinner than before, his lips pressed tightly together, his dark eyes seemingly deep.

A pang shot through Mo Ran’s heart. When had that warm and handsome man become like this...

The girl, seeing Tang Song stop, ran up to him happily and clung to his arm, laughing and seemingly saying something.

Her smile was sweet, with a hint of the innocence characteristic of a young girl.

It was clear that she truly liked Tang Song.

Mo Ran’s heart was pained once more, unable to define the feelings stirring within her, leaving a bitter taste.

The car brushed past them, and she withdrew her gaze, dimmed.

"What’s wrong?" Gu Yixuan noticed her change and turned to ask.

"Nothing," she shook her head, lowering her eyes to hide the emotion within.

Someone had already fallen for Tang Song. That was good; she hoped Tang Song would soon find a girl suited for him. At any rate, she and he were impossible...

"Gu Yixuan, let’s not go back just yet," she suddenly said.

"Where do you want to go?"

"To Joy Street, I want to go there and have some fun." Whenever she felt down, she would go there, not knowing how else to distract herself from the unpleasantness.

A glimmer of amusement flickered in Gu Yixuan’s eyes, "Okay, let’s go there."

Joy Street wasn’t actually called Joy Street—it was just that there were many fun and delicious things there, creating a joyful atmosphere, hence the name Joy Street.
