Chapter 1682 - 1101: Confession (Part 2)
"You... hello..." Lin Chudong stood up awkwardly, "You guys... you guys don’t tease me like this, it’s... it’s quite scary, hehe..."
"Who scared you?" Loo Xixia stepped forward, looking straight at him, "If you were doing well, I might never say these words, but now, seeing you like this, I feel like keeping it inside is irresponsible to both me and you.
In junior high, you studied better than I did, but because of family reasons, you couldn’t attend high school or university. I was luckier, I could continue in high school.
That kind of adolescent fondness, I thought it would fade over time, but in fact, I could never forget your attentiveness and thoughtfulness. The boys in the class always made fun of the girls, but you were the only one who genuinely helped others.
That year during evening self-study, all the other girls found a place to stay, only I was left, and I could only ride a bicycle home like the boys. God knows how scared I was, until later I found out you always followed me home, and I could truly relax.
I thought about saying ’thank you’ to you, but that unique shyness of that age prevented me from saying it out loud, yet that feeling was deeply buried in my heart.
Especially the night you saved me when I was blocked on the way, like a brand deeply engraved in my heart. Over the years, I’ve met some boys whom I felt good about, but none of them truly moved me.
I really regret not reaching out to you in time when you were dating. If I hadn’t said anything, you probably would never know that I got drunk the night you got married.
Later, when Yueyue married into our family, I was really happy. Even if there was no destined relationship between us, living with your family feels like life wasn’t too unfair to me.
But honestly, when Yueyue got married, and your family made such a fuss, you didn’t stop them, I was a bit disappointed in you. It wasn’t that our family really wanted to save money; I just feel at that moment, as her older brother, you should have stepped forward to protect your sister.
And later, through what Yueyue told me, I understood your awkward position and awkward life in that household. Only then did I realize your difficulties back then and understand my previous misunderstanding of you.
I didn’t hide my feelings for you from Yueyue. Of course, I never intended to break up your family. Until this time, Yueyue told me about the life you’ve been living all these years and your wife’s excessive actions, that’s when my mind changed again.
I feel compassion for you, and for Shuanshuan. I’m not saying pleasant things on purpose, because he’s your son, so I will also pour my feelings for you onto him.
Of course, you don’t need to feel too burdened. I just hope to work hard for both of us to strive for a beautiful future. Whether you agree or not, I won’t blame you or get angry at you.
And you, don’t let this matter make you feel any embarrassment. No matter what your decision is, I will support you, and thank you for finally giving me the chance to speak these words from my heart."
Lin Chudong stood there in a daze, struggling to understand the meaning behind Loo Xixia’s words, making him feel dizzy and overwhelmed. He had never dared to have such a luxury.
Who is Loo Xixia?
Back in school, she was famous; in studies and appearance, she stood out in every aspect. That’s also why, while other girls could find a place to stay, she couldn’t. It wasn’t that she wasn’t good, but that she was too good, driven by jealousy, no girl was willing to help her.
And he would escort her home after evening self-study every day, indeed because he liked her, only, he was always a person who lacked courage. Especially when he couldn’t attend high school, but she had the opportunity to continue, that’s when he let go of the obsession in his heart.
He never told anyone, back then, the reason he was instantly attracted to Liu Meiqing was because her eyes resembled Loo Xixia’s, and he felt Liu Meiqing was kind, also because of Loo Xixia’s kindness.
Unfortunately, he misjudged at that glance, which led to the unsatisfying outcome later.
Today, on the day when the truth came out, his heart felt like it was thrown into a boiling pot, painful, anguished!
Even if she revealed her feelings for him, what could he do?
With a child, a second marriage, if she really married someone like him, she would be pointed at for the rest of her life. She is his earliest beauty, he doesn’t want her to live like that.
Moreover, Liu Meiqing was his own choice, he can’t blame anyone else. No matter how bad she might be, he can’t just throw her away. Even if he knows he could immediately find someone better after leaving her, he absolutely can’t do that!
"Today..." Finally, he spoke, his voice carrying an unspeakable bitterness, "Today, I’m really happy, Xixia, I never thought, in your heart, I would be like this. Even if we can’t be together, getting such an evaluation from you, I would die without regrets.
Now, it’s not that I don’t accept you, or that I don’t like you, precisely because you have always been the most perfect person in my heart, I cannot bring harm to you.
Shuanshuan is a good kid, not a burden, but rumors are a burden. I hope you can have a truly happy life, not be pointed at with us father and son, so..."
Loo Xixia interrupted him: "So you’re rejecting me?" (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
