Qin Luo listened to Murong Liyue's confession, then slowly pushed her away. His face didn't show much emotion at the moment, but his originally gentle eyes now held a hint of indescribable complexity.
He silently watched Murong Liyue, observing her tear-streaked, panicked appearance, and remained silent for a long while before slowly speaking:
“Liyue, I always thought we trusted each other, but your actions today have truly disappointed me. Once a lie is told, it will be repeated. This time you were able to hide your true thoughts from me because of your worries and make up such an excuse to refuse the opportunity to cultivate in the Spirit Realm. If a similar situation occurs again in the future, how can I trust you again?”
Hearing Qin Luo's words, Murong Liyue felt as if she had been struck a heavy blow. She opened her mouth, but it was as if something was stuck in her throat, and she could not speak for a long time. Tears kept flowing down her face, and her body trembled even more violently.
Qin Luo frowned slightly and continued:
"I've sacrificed so much this past month to get you into the Spirit Realm for cultivation, and it wasn't easy to gather those million spirit points. I was hoping you could use this opportunity to improve your cultivation and fight alongside me in the Freshman Competition. But what about you? You easily gave up this hard-won opportunity because of your unfounded suspicions about Dan Bingli, and even tried to deceive me. Did you ever think about how I felt?"
Murong Liyue shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her face, and choked out:
"Qin Luo, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please don't say that, I... I won't do it again. I'll believe you, please don't leave me..."
As she spoke, she subconsciously tried to throw herself into Qin Luo's arms again, but Qin Luo turned aside and dodged. This dodged move made Murong Liyue freeze in place, as if the whole world had stopped turning at that moment.
Her eyes were filled with panic and helplessness, and her outstretched arms hung emptily in mid-air, making her look incredibly desolate.
Her lips trembled uncontrollably, but she could no longer utter a complete sentence, only letting out a few broken sobs, and tears streamed down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.
At this moment, Murong Liyue felt as if her heart was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and each beat was accompanied by a sharp pain.
She never imagined that her momentary lapse in judgment would disappoint Qin Luo so much that he wouldn't even accept her embrace. At this moment, she felt lost and hopeless, filled only with the fear of losing Qin Luo.
She stared blankly at Qin Luo, her eyes filled with pleading, as if silently expressing her regret, hoping that Qin Luo would glance at her, even just once, and give her the slightest response.
But Qin Luo just stood there quietly, his face bearing that lingering indifference, which intensified Murong Liyue's panic. She didn't know how to salvage the situation and could only stand there helplessly, letting despair overwhelm her.
After a long while, Murong Liyue finally regained a bit of strength, slowly lowered her arms that were still frozen in mid-air, and said in a trembling voice, choked with sobs:
"Qin Luo, please, don't do this to me. I... I really know I was wrong. I will change. Please believe me, okay? I can't live without you. Please don't do this. I... I really don't know what to do."
As she spoke, her body began to tremble uncontrollably again, as if she had lost all support and was about to collapse. Her pitiful appearance would make anyone feel sorry for her.
"That's about enough. Any more and it might go too far..."
Seeing her broken state, Qin Luo couldn't bear it. Two yanderes were already enough to make him worry, and he couldn't handle another one. That's why he deliberately treated Murong Liyue harshly, wanting to nip her budding evil in the bud.
Thinking of this, Qin Luo's deliberately maintained cold expression finally softened slightly. He stepped forward, gently supporting the swaying Murong Liyue, his voice unconsciously softening as he said:
"Liyue, since we've chosen each other, we should give each other enough trust. I know you lied to me because you were worried about me, but you also need to have enough faith in me, okay?"
Murong Liyue felt as if she had grasped the last straw in the broad hand on her wrist, and she threw herself into his arms, clinging to him tightly, afraid that he would push her away again. Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at Qin Luo, choking back sobs as she spoke:
"Qin Luo, I...I really know I was wrong. Please don't leave me. I'll listen to you in everything from now on and I'll never do it again. Please forgive me this time."
Faced with Qin Luo's words of comfort, Murong Liyue was completely immersed in the fear of losing Qin Luo and did not pay any attention to responding to his words.
She clung tightly to Qin Luo's waist, so tightly that it seemed she wanted to merge herself into his body. Her body was trembling uncontrollably, and tears streamed down her face, soaking Qin Luo's shirt.
"Qin Luo, I promise I'll be good from now on, I'll listen to you in everything, I'll never make you angry again, and I'll never overthink things like this again. Please forgive me this once, please..."
Murong Liyue spoke incoherently, her voice trembling with sobs, each word filled with deep regret.
Seeing Murong Liyue sobbing uncontrollably, Qin Luo gently patted her back, trying to soothe her agitated emotions.
But Murong Liyue seemed not to hear Qin Luo's words of comfort, and continued talking to herself:
