“Shangguan Ling? What was that kid doing here? Was he trying to profess his love to Tianxin?”

Guan Chenxi nodded. “Yes, that’s right. You know, both Shangguan Ling and Tianxin were matched together since they were both young. It’s not surprising that he is expressing his love for her now.”

Jing Zhichen stood rooted on the ground. He was at a loss for words.

Did that mean that Shangguan Ling and Ye Tianxin were destined to be together in their past lives?

Ever since Li Qingcang died, Ye Tianxin always seemed to be in a daze.

If someone could bring her out of her darkness and let her be happy again, he did not mind even if it was Shangguan Ling.

“Let me think about it. You go make yourself useful.”

Jing Zhichen motioned for Guan Chenxi to leave.

He then sat on the bench and looked up at the peach blossoms. He was torn between his feelings of sorrow and confusion.

‘Qingcang, don’t blame me for this.’

‘You know that Tianxin is neither hot-blooded nor cold.’

‘Qingcang, I think Shangguan Ling is a rather good man.’

‘Tianxin can always try getting along with Shangguan Ling.’

‘Who knows if sparks might fly between them?’

Jing Zhichen then went to look for Shangguan Ling. He grabbed Shangguan Ling and pushed him onto the table.

“Shangguan Ling, what on earth are you thinking?”

Shangguan Ling brushed Jing Zhichen away and straightened his shirt. He stared at Jing Zhichen with a flicker of irritation.

Jing Zhichen did not beat around the bush. He asked Shangguan Ling directly. “Shangguan Ling, I heard that you confessed your love to Tianxin. Is that true?”

Shangguan Ling sat down on the chair, keeping his anger in check.

“So what if I did? Are you here to tell me to stay away from Tianxin?”

“No.”

Jing Zhichen pulled over a chair and sat in front of Shangguan Ling.

Although Shangguan Ling was not as good as Li Qingcang, Jing Zhichen still thought he would be a good match for Ye Tianxin.

“I’m here to help you.”

Shangguan Ling was taken by surprise. “Help me?”

“Yes, I want to help you.”

Feelings of sadness or melancholy came out of nowhere and consumed Jing Zhichen’s spirit. “I still think you are inferior to Qingcang. Tianxin deserved better than you.”

Shangguan Ling went cold with fury when he heard what Jing Zhichen said.

“What are you trying to say?”

Shangguan Ling bit his lips hard. He had the sudden urge to throw Jing Zhichen out.

Jing Zhichen was not surprised by Shangguan Ling’s reaction. He knew how he must be feeling. “I understand that you like Tianxin, but she loves only Qingcang. Shangguan Ling, you have good taste. Tianxin is a very good girl. It’s a pity Qingcang is not as fortunate.”

Jing Zhichen would get upset whenever he thought of the times when Ye Tianxin and Li Qingcang were together and how happy they looked.

Shangguan Ling gritted his teeth and said, “So what exactly do you want to say?”

Jing Zhichen hesitated. “I’ll help you win her heart. If you can make Tianxin happy, I’ll help you.”

“What’s wrong with you?”

Shangguan Ling knew that Li Qingcang and Jing Zhichen were very close friends.

How could Jing Zhichen say that?

Did Li Qingcang know that his good friend was doing that?

Li Qingcang had to have had a muddle head to have such a friend.

Jing ZHichen pursed his lips before he continued, “Shangguan Ling, I should be asking you the same thing. I am here specially to help you. Well, I’m not helping you. I’m trying to help Tianxin.”

Shangguan Ling looked at Jing Zhichen, stunned.

“Ever since Qingcang left, Tianxin has become a totally different person. Do you know how hard she pushed herself during that time? She trained very hard under a psycho like Qie Yiyan. It broke my heart to see her like that, but what could I do about it? She should keep herself occupied with things to do instead of sitting around and thinking of Qingcang all day. What if she becomes suicidal?”
