Chapter 1802 - 1804: Can You Give Me Another Chance?
Seeing the good atmosphere between Yang Dong and Li Chuntao, the Yang Family were sensible enough to leave, at least going to a farther distance to avoid disturbing the two.
Once the riddle-guessing activity ended, Yang Dong and Li Chuntao were no longer the focus, and everyone continued on with their own activities.
For a moment, Yang Dong and Li Chuntao were still standing in place.
Seeing the crowd moving to and fro, Yang Dong worried about Li Chuntao getting separated.
He didn’t forget the previous trick, so he took out a rope made from a handkerchief and said, "In case we get separated, let’s use this."
"Okay!"
Li Chuntao cooperatively extended her hand.
The two returned to their previous state.
Yang Dong just wanted time to pass slowly; he wished to stay close like this.
Since Yang Dong had been drinking, the alcohol was affecting him, making his walk a bit unsteady. Li Chuntao noticed and said, "Are you alright?"
"I’m fine."
How could he be troubled? Even if he was, he would say he wasn’t. He still wanted to walk around with Li Chuntao a bit longer, so he continued, "Let’s keep strolling through the festival."
Seeing Yang Dong like this, Li Chuntao didn’t say anything more.
The two continued to wander around the festival, walking and stopping, buying quite a few interesting novelties.
The most eye-catching item was the flower lantern in Li Chuntao’s hand.
Night deepened, fewer people remained on the streets, and the vendors gradually packed up to head home.
Although reluctant, Yang Dong knew it was time to leave, so he said, "It’s getting late. Let’s head back."
"Alright."
And so they left the festival!
Yang Dong led the way to the shop they had bought in the County.
They walked down the road, carrying lanterns.
Yang Dong felt uncertain when they might meet again next time; perhaps now was the opportunity, so he said, "I... I have something to tell you."
The slightly stuttering Yang Dong made Li Chuntao turn to look at him, stopping as well, "Hmm?"
They stopped midway, and while the lantern wasn’t very bright, it illuminated the flushed faces of both.
Yang Dong felt unusually clear-headed, perhaps the alcohol gave him courage, so he took a deep breath and said, "I never had the opportunity to talk with you. There’s something I’ve wanted to say for a long time."
For some reason, when Yang Dong said this, Li Chuntao felt inexplicably nervous—nervous about what he wanted to say to her, and if it was something significant, how should she respond?
"It was my fault you fell off the cliff, almost died. I’ve wronged you; if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have suffered so much. And now you’re suffering from amnesia."
Hearing this, Li Chuntao unexpectedly felt relieved and said, "It’s okay, it’s not entirely your fault. Besides, I don’t remember anything, and I don’t feel it’s my issue. I’m at peace with it, so don’t take it too hard."
The more Li Chuntao spoke like this, the more Yang Dong blamed himself. Her words clearly indicated she had forgotten everything, as if none of it concerned her, which indirectly implied there was nothing between them from before.
This made Yang Dong panic further, leading him to blurt out, "Chuntao, I like you. Can you give me another chance? Let me spend the rest of my life caring for and loving you."
