Are you not going to want her anymore?
Her question made him stop in his tracks, but he stubbornly refused to turn around.
He had never truly possessed her, yet at the moment of impending separation, it felt as if something was being carved out of his body.
An invisible pain was spreading.
But the answer was undoubtedly clear.
Feeling that familiar gaze from behind, Xu Nuo turned slightly and glimpsed that small face, brows furrowed and eyes moist.
Is she crying?
Why does seeing her sad make my heart ache as well?
Heartless words hovered on the tip of his tongue, yet Xu Nuo found himself unable to speak.
Yan Xinxin watched from the side, realizing even the slightest sign of change.
She stepped forward and spoke.
"Xu Nuo, don't let the matters of the previous generation affect the present."
"Some things cannot be let go of just because you want to."
Xu Nuo spoke lightly, his eyes seeming slightly red.
