"Because once I laid a hand on her, it meant there would no longer be any sliver of hope between you and me, because I would have to take responsibility for her, just like what I told you on the night of your eighteenth birthday, do you remember what I said to you?"
Long Fengxi hummed in acknowledgment, "I remember, you said if you took me, you would dedicate your whole life to me."
"I don't want to lose you forever. After calming down, I realized that every time I see you, I still can't control the feelings I have for you. Feng Xi, the time we spent together after getting back together was really sweet. I want to live with you like that forever. Losing you twice, Feng Xi, it was my fault for not being able to catch you. I won't let it happen again, even if you want to live like this for the rest of your life, I'll be with you."
Long Fengxi felt a sting in her eyes, "Nice words, but if you don't carry on your family's lineage, won't your mother skin you alive?"
