Zhou Jinghua looked at her seriously with weak but tired eyes.
"Do you like me?" There was no room for hesitation. Any hesitation would get stuck, so Lu Mianmian asked without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jinghua got stuck immediately. His silent expression froze for a moment, with only a hint of blush slowly creeping up the tips of his ears.
Lu Mianmian tightened the treasure in her hand that could make people tell the truth. She was not sure whether this thing was really used as Jian Sining said, but she pressed it anyway.
Zhou Jinghua's eyes flashed with hesitation and struggle, and he said with difficulty: "Yes, I like you."
They were both stunned, Lu Mianmian's heart was pounding and Zhou Jinghua fell into self-doubt.
"Then why don't you say it?" Lu Mianmian asked again.
"I don't want to delay you. Your family is well-off, and there will be someone more suitable than me to accompany you for the rest of your life."
Zhou Jinghua didn't know why he said everything in his heart, but if he thought about it carefully, if he was really going to die, it might not be a bad idea to say these words to her.
"How do you know there will be someone more suitable for me? Is your standard for judging whether a person is suitable or not based solely on material conditions?"
"Material is the foundation of love. Only those with bad intentions will say they love you while asking you to suffer with them. You have never experienced the days of hunger and are too naive to look at the problem. This world is not as simple as black and white. It is not that I say I love you and it is natural for you to suffer with me."
Lu Mianmian's tears suddenly became uncontrollable: "I never felt wronged being with you! You are just saying this because you are inferior and cowardly."
Zhou Jinghua watched her cry, and at this moment he finally decided to face his heart and confess his thoughts to her:
"I have low self-esteem, but I am not a coward. I just want to work hard to become a better person, so that I can have an equal love with you."
Lu Mianmian expressed her attitude excitedly and aggrievedly: "But I don't care about what you said at all. If you love someone, you should ask her what she wants, not what you think she needs!"
She didn't like his self-righteous attitude towards her, she wanted him to stand with her bravely and firmly.
Zhou Jinghua pinched his brows and forced himself to cheer up: "But I am a man. There are some things you can do without, but I can't live without. Do you understand? A love that is only for the sake of love is irresponsible."
His life experiences had long since worn away his naivety and unrealistic fantasies, and he couldn't think about things the same way as Lu Mianmian.
Because she was protected when she grew up, even if she went out to wander after her amnesia, God still loved her.
She had never suffered, nor had she been beaten by the real world. So her world was simple and black and white, but he knew that was not the real world.
Lu Mianmian looked at his blurred outline with tears in her eyes, and her heart ached:
"So it was you who saved me, but you refused to admit it. It was because you knew you were sick and you were afraid of delaying my recovery, so you concealed it. Was it for the sake of your so-called responsibility?"
"Yes, I don't want you to have any psychological burden because of this."
He also knew that her trendy personality was bound to cause her a lot of trouble, so he had been working hard to make himself better and stronger.
His goal is to grow into her solid support. Now that everything is developing in the direction he wants, he just needs some time.
But now even God is unwilling to give him time, what can he do?
Even if I am heartbroken to death in the middle of the night when no one is around, setting her free and severing all ties with her is the best outcome!
Lu Mianmian's trembling voice rose again: "But one day I will know, and I will know it after you die. I will feel guilty and blame myself for the rest of my life. Can you please stop thinking that you are my boss? I don't like you like this at all!"
Zhou Jinghua looked a little helpless: "Then what do you want me to do to make you happy?"
"I hope you will be brave enough to admit in front of others that you like me, and when I have a conflict with others, regardless of right or wrong, you will stand by my side without hesitation..."
Zhou Jinghua listened to her stubborn request, a gentle smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and his slightly curved eyes seemed to be really imagining the scenes she described.
"I've remembered what you said. In the next life...if we are destined to meet again in the next life, I will try my best to be your ideal lover. But in this life, I don't have time."
I'm sorry! he said silently.
