After his mother passed away, he was taken into the Luo family. From childhood to adulthood, he never received any real care. Abundant material conditions could not fill the void in his spiritual world.

He himself is a person with a distorted personality.

No one lives just to be bossed around by others.

Ke Luowenxi couldn't find any other foothold in her life.

Aside from Zhou Xiaoxiao, everyone else was only being polite and courteous to him for money.

Zhou Xiaoxiao was at least willing to give him some of the warmth he needed.

Realizing her own abnormality, Luo Wenxi is also trying to break free from Zhou Xiaoxiao's vicious cycle.

In fact, he had made up his mind that after helping Zhou Xiaoxiao finish one last thing, he would never come back, just as she had hoped.

His spirit was empty, but living like a parasite wasn't a solution either.

In fact, he had always felt very confused and helpless in this regard. He didn't know what kind of support he should find so that he wouldn't end his life prematurely.

After all, for him, living had never been meaningful.

Despite his nonchalant appearance and constant smile, he has never revealed his true self to the outside world.

But Jiang Tian saw through his disguise.

Luo Wenxi did look rather pitiful at this moment.

His face was ashen, and he looked somewhat dazed, as if he had suffered a major trauma.

The truth is that his disguise was exposed, and he revealed the side of himself that he least wanted to be discovered in front of a woman he looked down on.

"you……"

Jiang Tian nodded politely to him: "What do you want to ask me? How did I see through you?"

"I took you in not only because of your feigned gentleness, but also because you and I are kindred spirits in some ways."

"Because of the hardships of life and the heavy burdens on my shoulders, I live a life that is neither human nor ghost, while you, no matter how well you pretend, are still pitiful inside. Like me, you also drift on the edge of this world."

"Back then, I still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking we could stick together and support each other. After all, you were always pretending to be sunny and cheerful, and I felt sorry for you. But later, I realized you weren't worth it at all."

Jiang Tian actually smiled: "Even if I live a numb life, I still retain the determination to move forward. I want to study, I want to live a better life, and I still have myself. But you seem to be stuck in the quagmire and haven't gotten out yet."

"Your status as an illegitimate child is just the most superficial reason. If you hadn't kept pestering me, I wouldn't have wanted to reveal everything."

"To be honest, Luo Wenxi, I sympathize with you. But I will never entrust my future to you."

"I'm sorry, I can't be as great as you."

Luo Wenxi remained silent, his lips turning white.

After saying that, Jiang Tian left. Her steps were neither fast nor slow, her back was straight, as if nothing could bring her down.

Luo Wenxi did not choose to stop her.

He stood there, unable to move for a long time.

Every word Jiang Tian said echoed in his ears.

A complex emotion began to spread through his heart.

He vaguely realized that he seemed to have missed something.

It turns out he had encountered similar people before.

This fellow human being had once offered him a helping hand.

But he didn't cherish her; instead, he treated her terribly.

He believed that Jiang Tian was not qualified to enter his world, neither in terms of spiritual nor material conditions, but he had no idea that the only person who understood him was right beside him.

Even now, the evil deeds of that year have brought him a painful blow, causing him immense heartache.

Jiang Tian walked to the school gate, where Wei Jingshen was already waiting for her.

Upon seeing her, Wei Jingshen's expression immediately softened.

Jiang Tian naturally placed her hand in his palm.

Wei Jingshen's gaze softened even more.

"Nothing happened today, right?"

Jiang Tian smiled and nodded: "The professor asked me a question. Luckily I answered it, otherwise it would have been too embarrassing."

Wei Jingshen also smiled and said, "You'll definitely be fine."

After chatting for a while, Wei Jingshen drove Jiang Tian to the Wei family's old house.

Today is the day they have dinner with Wei Jingshen's grandmother.

In fact, the elderly person voluntarily gave up treatment.

At her age, receiving treatment would only prolong her life.

For her, spending every day in the hospital ward smelling disinfectant and looking at the white walls was just to gain more meaningless and boring years. It would be better to return to her own space and enjoy her last moments of tranquility.

Wei Jingshen's grandmother was a very wise old woman who made many contributions to the Wei family.

Throughout countless turbulent times, this matriarch of the Wei family protected everyone in the family.

She is a respectable old woman.

Therefore, her life should naturally be decided by herself.

All Wei Jingshen could do was fulfill his grandmother's wish and arrange her marriage before she passed away.

The old man had actually told him that he didn't need to choose a woman he didn't love for her sake.

Marriage is not a simple matter for anyone; if you don't put your heart into it, you'll ruin a relationship.

However, Wei Jingshen did not consider marriage a necessary option in his life.

Remembering the old man's meticulous care during his childhood, he chose to accept the blind date and tried to accept Zhou Xiaoxiao.

This marriage was merely a matter of mutual consent, and Wei Jingshen viewed it as a business deal. Zhou Xiaoxiao broke the contract, so she was an untrustworthy business partner.

Zhou Xiaoxiao herself doesn't treat marriage as a serious matter, so how can she expect him to?
