"Your mind is filled with far too much; I'm just a tiny, insignificant part of it..."
"At that time, although I had the body of an adult, my mind was like that of a teenager. I only wanted to stick to you, to possess everything about you, and to spend the rest of my life with you..."
"Little did you know how much time, energy, and effort you would have to spend to maintain and realize this seemingly simple wish during those perilous years..."
"Perhaps every ambitious person is born with decisiveness."
"After a night of deliberation, you finally made your choice and informed me of it in an undeniable manner."
"It was only out of protection for me and out of our past friendship that you gave me enough supplies and manpower to take over a small base, allowing me to get through the most difficult time at the beginning."
Listening calmly to Shen Longcheng's story, Yu Ningning sat upright on the sofa, not refuting a single word from Shen Longcheng, nor offering a single explanation.
Because what Shen Longcheng said was true.
She is an ambitious woman at heart, and her lifelong pursuit is to create an extraordinary career for herself.
Love is a game she plays in her spare time.
When faced with a choice, these are the things she can discard first, the most useless things.
She also readily admitted it.
Not surprised by Ningning's frankness, Shen Longcheng then chuckled softly to himself, his tone desolate, "Actually, three years after you drove me away, I had already figured it out. It's just that I couldn't quite believe it, and I was unwilling to admit it..."
"I don't want to admit it, but when you were all I had in my heart, you only cared about so little about me..."
"This is really hurtful."
"So, like a stubborn child, I kept asking you questions, seeking an answer again and again, denying the facts over and over again..."
"Of course, it's not like I haven't tried not to miss you, not to love you so much..."
"Otherwise, Ningning, why do you think I never came to find you after I led the first batch of mutated animals and humans to establish a survivor base that was no less large than yours?"
"I was just being stubborn with you."
"At the time, all I was thinking was, 'You were the one who abandoned me first, the one who wronged me first, so I absolutely cannot lose. I must not be the first to give in. I must make you bow your head and come to me first...'"
"The moment I saw you get shot, I realized just how stupid all my thoughts had been..."
Shen Longcheng paused for a moment as he spoke.
As if she had nothing to say, as if she accepted Shen Longcheng's evaluation of her with equanimity, and as if she wholeheartedly acknowledged Shen Longcheng's memories, Yu Ningning remained silent.
“Sister Ningning…” Staring intently at Yu Ningning, Shen Longcheng’s eyes were calm and firm, his voice gentle and affectionate, “I already know what kind of person you are, and I can accept that in your heart, I will never be as important as the career you want, and I can accept the fact that you are willing to sacrifice me for your career at any time…”
"Now I know that loving someone means respecting her and understanding everything she wants to do."
Shen Longcheng continued, "So, Sister Ningning, are you willing to give me a chance now?"
