There was a commotion at the gate of the Shen family compound.

A tall figure knelt upright in front of the gate, his back straight and his eyes determined.

Passersby looked sideways and whispered to each other.

"Isn't that Professor Su?"

"Why is he kneeling here?"

"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Shen family is getting married. Could he be coming..."

Old Master Shen stood in front of the second-floor window, took a look through the telescope, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Is this kid crazy?"

He took off the telescope with a cold face and said to his men beside him: "Get him out!"

The subordinate wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Master, we told him to leave, but Mr. Su refused to leave..."

The old man sneered: "He won't leave? What else does he want to do?"

The subordinate reported with gritted teeth: "Mr. Su insisted on seeing the eldest lady, saying that he wanted to apologize to her..."

"He doesn't need to apologize or offer any gifts!" The old man waved his hand, "Hurry up! Get him out of here!"

"Yes!"

The subordinate came to the gate again and looked at Su Zibai who was kneeling straight, and said helplessly:

"Mr. Su, please don't embarrass us. The master said that he will let you go."

Su Zibai raised his head, his eyes firm: "I won't leave, I want to see Shen Ci, and I won't leave until I see her!"

"If that's the case, then we won't be polite. The master's original words were, kick you out!"

Su Zibai: "Even if you guys blast me, I will still come back. I will kneel until the old man agrees to let me see her!"

The men looked at each other, then sighed and turned back to report.

......

Shen Ci stood in front of the window, her fingers tightly gripping the curtains, her knuckles turning white.

She also saw the man kneeling outside the door.

Di Ka stood behind Shen Ci, his voice changed in shock: "Boss! What is Professor Su doing?"

"Didn't I make everything clear just now? Why is he here again? And... still kneeling?!"

Everyone thought Su Zibai was crazy.

Professor Su, who was once arrogant to the core, the man who couldn't even say a soft word, was now kneeling at the gate of the Shen family compound. When had he ever been so humble?

Moreover, a man's knees are made of gold, but he knelt without hesitation.

Of course Shen Ci knew why. Just half an hour ago, she received a very long message on her mobile phone from Su Zibai.

The text message said:

"Shen Ci, I was wrong."

"I just realized now that I like you."

"For the past ten years, I've been ordering you around like a thief, treating you like my subordinate. I forgot you're a girl, too."

"I have never denied your excellence and ability. That's why, whenever I'm in trouble, the first person I think of is you."

"But this isn't the only thing I did wrong..."

"I shouldn't have said those harsh words to you, much less told you 'that's it.'"

"I thought this was the best option for you. I thought nothing would change if we left each other."

"Not really."

"Your life, Shen Ci, is still wonderful even without me."

"But without you, my life would be a mess."

"So, the person you really can't leave is... me."

"If it weren't for my younger sister reminding me, I would never have known that you like me and have liked me for so many years."

"If it weren't for my younger sister's pressure, I wouldn't dare to face my own heart, let alone tell you, Shen Ci, I like you."

"Shen Ci, my younger sister also said that if I didn't come to you and explain things clearly, I would lose you in this life. I have been restless all the time, because whenever I think about losing you in this life, I feel that... my life is over."

"Shen Ci, give me another chance..."

"Don't marry anyone else, okay?"

When Shen Ci saw these words, her fingers were shaking so much that she could hardly hold the phone.

She wasn't sure if she was dazzled, she stared at the message, reading it over and over again hundreds of times.

Su Zibai, do you really like me?

Or is it just because you are unwilling to give up?

She didn't reply because she didn't know how to.

She had already promised her grandfather and agreed to the marriage, and she was determined to completely sever ties with him.

This means that from now on, they will never meet again.

But why is it at this time?

Why did he suddenly appear and say such words when she finally made up her mind?

She even suspected that she was dreaming, and it took her more than ten minutes to confirm that it was not an illusion.

Until there was a commotion outside the window.

She walked to the window, slightly lifted a corner of the curtain, and saw Su Zibai's figure kneeling at the gate of the Shen family compound. His body looked like he had been struck by lightning and he couldn't even move.

Dicka's voice rang out again: "Boss, can you please say something? What's going on?"

"Hey, boss, why are you crying?"

Shen Ci raised her hand and wiped her face. Her fingertips touched something cold and wet. She was stunned for a moment, then her voice turned cold: "No, why would I cry?"

Dika pointed at her eyes and said, "Boss, don't be so stubborn. Look at your eyes, they are so red, and you still say you didn't cry?"

He took a step closer and lowered his voice to ask, "Boss, has Professor Su changed his mind? He knows he can't live without you, so he's kneeling at the door, wanting you to continue to be his subordinate, to go on missions, to risk your life for him?"

Shen Ci shook her head: "No."

Dika frowned: "No? What is it?"

Shen Ci clenched her phone: "He said... he likes me and asked me not to marry anyone else."

what?

Dika's expression froze for a second, as if he had heard a huge joke, and he burst out laughing: "Boss! Are you kidding? Professor Su likes you? How is that possible?!"

He counted on his fingers: "You and Professor Su haven't known each other for just one or two years, but more than ten years! If he liked you, he would have been unable to control himself a long time ago. Why would he wait until now to tell you?"

"Besides..." Dika curled his lips, "How could the way he looked at you before show any affection at all?"

Shen Ci pulled the corner of her mouth slightly.

See, even Dicka doesn't believe it.

No one would believe that Su Zibai liked her.

She looked down at her phone. The words on the screen were clearly visible, but it seemed as if there was a layer of fog that could never be penetrated.

Yes, if I liked it, I would have liked it a long time ago.

Why wait until now?

Wait until she decides to give up completely?

She suddenly laughed, her voice so soft that it seemed as if she was talking to herself:

"Su Zibai, I have loved you for seventeen years... a full seventeen years."

"I never regret ever liking you, because everything in the past was voluntary."

"I volunteer to be your subordinate, stay by your side, and do things for you... Even just being close to you makes me feel happy."

"But... my liking is just my liking. I've never asked for anything, and I won't ask you to like me as much as I like you."

"Because I understand that love doesn't have to be reciprocated."

"so......"

She raised her head and looked at the figure kneeling upright outside the window: "You don't have to dislike me."
