"I'm sorry about Xiao Anzi..." After a long silence, Su Luoyin finally spoke, breaking the awkward silence. Xiao Anzi was Xi Chen's most important confidant. He must have valued him greatly by sending him here, yet she had witnessed his death on the spot. This knot in her heart had been unresolved for a long time. Now that she had met Xi Chen, she truly wanted to apologize to him, and to sincerely apologize for the loss of Xiao Anzi.
I'm really sorry.
Hearing Su Luoyin mention Xiao Anzi's name, Xi Chen was stunned at first, then he said, "Actually... you don't have to say sorry."
Xi Chen's words were filled with sadness, but he still smiled at Su Luoyin and said, "I know, I don't blame you."
"I..." Su Luoyin felt a pang of pain upon hearing Xi Chen say this, and for a moment, she couldn't suppress the urge to cry. She watched helplessly as one by one of her closest people fell before her, died, misunderstood, hurt, deceived. She cursed herself a thousand times in her heart, unable to help but recall over and over again what would have happened if she hadn't done this or that.
But after thinking about it, my heart ached even more.
Now there is a person standing in front of him, missing that person with him, and he said that he does not blame her.
Don’t blame her...?
"I know everything that happened back then." Suppressing the sadness in his heart, Xi Chen emphasized his spirit and comforted Su Luoyin, "You've done very well."
"Actually, I know that Xiao Anzi likes you very much as her sister. I think Xiao Anzi must be very happy to finally meet you."
"As for the other things...I really don't blame you." Xi Chen smiled at Su Luoyin.
Tears welled up in her eyes unconsciously, and Su Luoyin still murmured silently, "Don't you blame me?"
"Okay." Xi Chen lowered his voice and said helplessly, "In these years, I thought you had grown up, but why are you still crying like a little girl?" As he spoke, Xi Chen gently stroked Su Luoyin's head.
Feeling Xi Chen's unintentional comfort, Su Luoyin finally looked up at him, "But, I... failed to protect him. I watched him die in front of my own eyes, I..."
"What does that have to do with you?" Xi Chen suddenly interrupted her self-blame and repeated, "What does that have to do with you?"
Xi Chen sighed softly, "Life and death are determined by fate. Why do you blame yourself so much?"
"You did everything you should have done. From the past to now, you always loved to blame yourself for everything, no matter how big or small. But this is not just your fault."
"Yin'er, you're pushing yourself too hard."
"Really..." Su Luoyin's eyes widened suddenly after hearing Xi Chen's last words. Really? Had she been pushing herself too hard all this time?
…
"...Thank you." After a few breaths, Su Luoyin regained her composure and finally raised her head to thank Xi Chen with a smile. Her expression had long since returned to normal, as if she was displeased with her for her previous loss of composure.
"No need." Seeing Su Luoyin recovered as before, Xi Chen finally smiled with relief.
This silly girl, if others don't say a few words to comfort her, who knows how long she will be alone. I am very honored that I can still help her a little, even if it is only a little.
