Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

Chapter 216 Okay, stop crying.

Huo Muchen remained silent for a moment after hearing this. He looked at Sang Yu, a cold glint in his eyes, and then said calmly:

“Sang Yu, you should know that our relationship involves more than just feelings. I have many things to deal with and many responsibilities to bear. I can't promise you anything, nor can I guarantee our future.”

"If you feel that this way of getting along makes you unhappy or uneasy, we can end it here."

Sang Yu felt a pang of pain in her heart upon hearing this and quickly said:

"No, Mu Chen, I don't want it to end. I understand, I know what to do. From now on, I will only be by your side when you need me, and when you don't need me, I will stay far away and never bother you, okay?"

Her voice trembled slightly and pleaded.

Huo Muchen shook his head.

“Sangyu, I don’t want you to lose more because of me, or even yourself. You should have your own life and pursuits, instead of revolving around me. I hope you understand that relationships are not everything in life, nor are they our only pursuits.”

After hearing this, Sang Yu looked helplessly at Huo Muchen, tears silently streaming down her face like pearls from a broken string, rolling one by one onto her flawless cheeks.

Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating her face and highlighting her tearful eyes, deep and sorrowful, as if filled with endless grief.

Huo Muchen's heart tightened when he saw Sang Yu like this. Suddenly, the image of another woman flashed into his mind—Liu Shiyin.

She used to cry so easily, and every time she cried, it made him feel heartbroken and helpless. He would always gently comfort her when she cried and softly wipe away her tears.

A strange impulse welled up in Huo Muchen's heart. He wanted to gently wipe away Sang Yu's tears, just like he had comforted Liu Shiyin in the past. However, his hand paused in the air for a moment and did not fall.

Sang Yu looked up at Huo Muchen, her eyes brimming with even more tears. She choked out, "..."

"I know, I understand what you're saying, but I can't control my feelings. I really like you."

Sang Yu suddenly threw herself into Huo Muchen's arms, her petite body finding a long-lost sense of comfort in his broad chest.

At that moment, all her sadness and pain seemed to be temporarily soothed, and she felt a sense of peace she had never experienced before.

She raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears, and looked at Huo Muchen. Her tearful eyes revealed a deep sorrow and longing. She longed for him to give her more warmth and care, and she longed for him to respond to the call of her heart.

Huo Muchen looked down at Sang Yu's tearful eyes, and a strange sense of confusion welled up in his heart.

He knew he couldn't give Sang Yu the emotional response she expected, but he couldn't bear to push her away like that.

In fact, when Sang Yu was not around, Huo Muchen's life did not seem to be greatly affected. He never thought of her, nor did he miss her.

His world was still filled with all sorts of beautiful women and laughter.

However, when Sang Yu appears in his life, he can put all other distractions aside and focus on being with her.

Although Sang Yu had been by his side for half a year, she was busy filming and attending events every day, so the two of them didn't actually spend much time together. Even so, during this time, he still provided her with abundant resources, connections, and money, never being stingy.

As time went on, Huo Muchen began to realize that these material gifts could not fill the void between them.

He found that he could never be devoted to Sang Yu; whenever she got close, he would feel a strange sense of alienation.

He began to reflect on his true needs, asking himself what he really wanted. Was it Sang Yu's gentleness and companionship, or the excitement and thrill of those other women? He realized he didn't really know.

Huo Muchen held Sang Yu in his arms, and he could feel her trembling body and the moisture from her tears.

He lowered his head, his gaze falling on her glistening tears, as if he could see the endless pain and struggle in her heart.

He gently stroked Sangyu's hair, trying to soothe the wounds in her heart with his tenderness. His voice was deep and firm:

"Okay, don't cry anymore."

Sang Yu raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes. She looked at Huo Muchen with deep affection, her voice trembling slightly:

"Mu Chen, I love you, I really love you."

These words seemed to be a cry from the depths of her heart, filled with endless love and anticipation for Huo Muchen.
