Chapter 501 Maybe It's Destiny
"sorry."
After listening to this, Leng Huaijin was silent for a while, and then he said this apology in a hoarse voice.
Even if he said this apology thousands of times, it would not be able to redeem himself.
Shen Weiyang knew that he was feeling guilty for not being able to take good care of her, causing her to wander around with the child for so many years.
She held his hand tightly, looked at him and said gently, "It's all in the past. I know you can't help yourself. Some things can't be decided by just two people."
Back then, he didn't know that Leng Huaichen and Gu Changting would plot to hurt her. The only thing he knew was that if he didn't calm He Chu down, his brother, who had saved their lives, would lose the last trace of his bloodline in this world.
If we really want to bring up the past, it was she who couldn't stand the pressure first and agreed to the old lady's request to erase her memory and leave him. It's hard to tell who was right and who was wrong between them.
The only thing that is clear is that they have always loved each other deeply, and they are the ones who have decided to spend their lives together.
"If you keep being so sad, I'll get angry. Susu is still here, can you please stop being so clingy, huh?"
She reached out and pinched his face, jokingly trying to lighten the mood.
Leng Huaijin was relieved and no longer trapped in guilt: "Okay, let's stop talking and talk about business. Is Liu Huaichuan coming over?"
Shen Weiyang was stunned: "Did you see him tonight?"
Leng Huaijin nodded: "I saw it, but he thought I betrayed you, so he didn't treat me well. He just told me not to meddle in other people's business and that he would handle the matter of No. 86 himself."
Shen Weiyang sighed: "Then let him handle it himself. After Miaomiao's affairs are dealt with, we will go to Lijiang to have a good time."
She was worried about her friend and wanted to help, but she was unable to do so and could only see things within one meter.
In the remaining time, she just wanted to spend time with Ajin.
She held his hand tightly, intertwined their fingers, and then leaned on his shoulder to prepare for a nap: "I'll rest for a while, call me when it's dawn."
Leng Huaijin took off his coat and wrapped her in it, then held her in his arms and told her to sleep more comfortably: "Go to sleep, I'll watch over you."
After Shen Weiyang and Sui Su greeted each other, they went to sleep first.
She was very tired now after fleeing all night. She just wanted to have a good sleep.
After she fell asleep, only Leng Huaijin and Sui Su were left guarding Zhao Miaomiao's fire.
Leng Huaijin was once the dream that Sui Su desired most. She dreamed that she would have a chance to have a good chat with him.
She has it now, but her state of mind has changed a long time ago, and she is no longer the dreamy girl she used to be.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now."
They were silent for a moment before she spoke to break the awkwardness she felt in the air.
"Miao Miao was shot to save me in the end, so I can't accept that she had to be shot again after her death. I thought you were afraid of trouble and didn't want to waste any more time, so you just shot her again like that."
After she said all this, Leng Huaijin just said indifferently, "It's okay."
Sui Su knew that if he said it was okay, then it really was okay.
It’s not that he accepted her forgiveness and apology, but whether she could forgive him or blame him or not, it had nothing to do with him.
To him, she was just an irrelevant outsider after all, and her love, hate, and anger had nothing to do with him.
"If I had gone to the Paradise Banquet with you, would you have liked me a little bit?"
She clenched her fists and mustered up the courage to ask the question that had been weighing on her mind for so many years.
"If I had been able to follow you like Weiyang, willing to burn my boats and cross the river, would you have been attracted to me, even for just a second?"
After asking, the only sounds in the woods were the wind and the burning flames, which made the silence seem eerie.
Overstepping the boundaries.
Wei Yang helped her this time, so how could she ask such questions to her husband while she was asleep.
After Sui Su calmed down, she felt very upset and regretted asking such a question on impulse.
When she was feeling frustrated and thought Leng Huaijin would look down on her and not answer her, Leng Huaijin spoke calmly: "For me, it was only love at first sight."
He lowered his head to look at Shen Weiyang who was sleeping in his arms, his eyes gentler than ever.
"When I first saw her, I thought about spending my whole life with her. Even though it seemed impossible at the time, I still couldn't help but think about how wonderful it would be if I could be with her forever."
If he had not already developed a liking for her and had not harbored a gambler's expectation, she would not have had so many opportunities to approach him and pester him.
It was just that he had been moved by her for a long time and was indulging her.
"So that's how it is."
Looking at his gentle expression that only appeared when he looked at Shen Weiyang, Sui Su thought that the old wound in her heart that had not recurred for years began to ache again.
But she hoped this would be the last time.
"So I lost at first sight. Well, now I can finally accept it. At least you didn't dislike me because I wasn't good enough. My loss was destined to be yours."
She laughed at herself, then stood up and looked for some burning branches to prevent the fire on Zhao Miaomiao's place from going out.
It is also an excuse to leave and give yourself a brief space to be sad.
Maybe it was really fate.
Leng Huaijin gently stroked Shen Weiyang’s sleeping cheek and placed a trembling kiss on her forehead.
Some people are born to love you.
Weiyang, I only regret not waking up earlier and taking you away, causing us to waste so many years, and only start loving each other properly when it was almost too late...
——
The next day, Zhao Miaomiao's body was completely cremated into ashes. Sui Su, with tears in her eyes, slowly collected the ashes and placed them in a glass bottle. "Miaomiao, please bear with it for now. When we return to the imperial capital, I will buy you the best urn and bury you in the Martyrs' Cemetery."
"What's this?"
She suddenly found a red mineral crystal-like substance in the ashes.
She looked at Shen Weiyang, and Shen Weiyang was also looking at her, but there was no reaction on her face.
Can’t Weiyang see clearly during the day?
Sui Su was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked to Shen Weiyang. After getting closer to her, she asked, "Weiyang, can you see me now?"
Shen Weiyang could only see a vague outline of her face, and only after taking a step closer could he see clearly that it was her.
"I'm about to lose my sight, Sui Su, can I ask you to promise me something?"
