"You, you...I, that..."
Oh no, it seems like anything I say sounds like I'm just making excuses.
In fact, she was indeed avoiding him.
what to do……
Looking into Aoqian's wet eyes, she truly felt guilty.
"Give me the herbs," Aoqian said, extending his hand.
He wasn't aggressive, didn't ask her where she'd been that day, and didn't say anything else.
But the hurt and moisture in his eyes were clearly more intense.
"I'm sorry..." Song Xiwei handed over the herbs, leaning her head against the wall as she uttered those three words.
Feeling it was too light and lacking sincerity, she was about to solemnly say it to him again when Aoqian said, "It's my turn to say sorry."
"Huh?" Song Xi was slightly confused.
She looked up at Aoqian, completely bewildered.
What's wrong with him...?
"Let's go back," Ao Qian said.
"Oh, okay." Song Xi breathed a sigh of relief. She took a step out, but then noticed that Ao Qian didn't move and didn't get up to follow her.
Song Xiwei turned to look at Ao Qian, who lowered his eyes and didn't look at her. His voice was calm, "What's wrong? Is there something else?"
"You, you won't, won't you come together?" Song Xiwei almost bit her tongue.
My heart was pounding as I watched Aoqian.
Aoqian raised his head and calmly met her gaze. "No need."
"???" Song Xiwei looked puzzled. What does "no need" mean?
Aoqian answered her questions, "I'm not going back. You can sleep alone. Don't worry, no one will bother you."
Song Xiwei blurted out, "I didn't say you were bothering me!"
"Let's go back." After saying that, Aoqian continued to stare blankly with his eyes down.
Song Xiwei grew anxious, "I really didn't feel like you were bothering me..."
Aoqian remained silent and motionless.
"Are you angry?" Song Xiwei softened her tone. "I was wrong, I was really wrong, could you..."
"You're not wrong, I'm the one who's wrong." Ao Qian dodged Song Xiwei's touch just as she was about to reach out.
Song Xi looked at Ao Qian with a hint of grievance, "Are you blaming me..."
"No, it's getting late, let's go back," Ao Qian said.
“You’re the one who made me leave…” Song Xi looked at him weakly.
Aoqian nodded. "Yes, I was the one who told you to leave."
"I'm really leaving..." She was waiting for Aoqian to say something else.
But Aoqian nodded anyway, "Mm."
Song Xiwei turned and left angrily.
I don't know who she's angry with.
She walked quickly out of the Hundred Herbs Garden, but couldn't help turning back. Aoqian didn't follow.
They turned back again.
She saw that Aoqian was still sitting in the same position as before she left, without moving an inch.
“I can explain, what I did today was…” She decided to be honest with Aoqian about her intentions for doing what she did today.
But before she could finish speaking, Aoqian interrupted her: "No need to explain, I understand you, and I will unconditionally support whatever you do."
Ao Qian showed no signs of anger and spoke calmly.
Song Xiwei felt extremely uneasy.
"Don't you need me anymore?" she asked in a trembling voice.
Aoqian's expression faltered slightly, finally showing signs of turmoil compared to his previous calm.
He gazed at her for a long time, "Between you and me, it will always be me who needs you more."
Song Xiwei's heart was deeply touched.
She threw herself into Aoqian's arms, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me, I don't know, I'm just very flustered, a little scared..." afraid that she would make a mistake again.
"What are you afraid of? If you really find it hard to accept, then just drop the matter of your fiancé. As long as you're happy," Aoqian said to her in a tense voice.
Song Xiwei's heart twisted into a knot. She shook her head. "How could I go back on my promise? I was out of my mind today. It wasn't intentional. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry..."
"Let's go back, it's getting late." Aoqian's tone returned to calm.
Song Xiwei's eyes reddened with anxiety. "I promise I'll never leave a note and disappear again. I'll make sure you can contact me no matter where I am, okay? Please don't be angry with me. I know I was wrong."
