"Why... If I hadn't interfered with my sister's choice, wouldn't she have died? It was me who forced all this on Qingyun, making her life so painful. If I wasn't so self-righteous, if I had discovered it earlier..." Liu Ruoxue closed her eyes in pain again, but tears still kept falling from her face.

"That's not the case, Ruoxue. Ruomeng and Qingyun will not follow the path you think is right. Maybe then you can force yourself to suppress the feelings in your heart and resist the discomfort that traditional education has brought you."

"But, Ruoxue, you have to understand, between Qingyun and Ruoming, you can only save one person..." When Xia Jingsong said this, his voice became a little strange.

"Even if you didn't force your opinion on Liu Qingyun at that time, would you accept Liu Qingyun?"

"I think, maybe not..." Liu Ruoxue shook her head.

"Yes, then you will still choose to be with me, and we will still give birth to Ruomeng. You will impose on Ruomeng the path that you failed to impose on Liu Qingyun, and eventually Ruomeng, who looks very much like your sister, will choose the same path as Qingyun. In the final analysis, this is destined. If you cannot accept Qingyun's feelings, then your sister and daughter are doomed, and you can only save one person..."

"No, that's not right. If I could be more..."

"Ruoxue, there are some things that are beyond your control and beyond your control, because that is destiny. Even if you hadn't done this, Qingyun, who couldn't be with you, would still be living in pain. Maybe it would be better than this ending, but in the end, Qingyun is the only one who has to endure these things silently. Compared to her being able to rest in peace now, do you want to see her being punished in the world with several times more pain?" Xia Jingsong interrupted Liu Ruoxue, "Even if you blame yourself, what has happened cannot be changed."

"Qingyun placed all her hopes on this girl who was most like her. She wanted this girl who was like her to protect you on her behalf, so she told Ruoming that she would protect your mother in the future. She didn't want you to be tortured like her, live in pain like her, and didn't want to embarrass you, so she chose to bear these things silently and chose to leave this world silently. If even you are trapped in the same shadow as her, then her death will really be meaningless."

"What she hoped for was that Ru Meng could replace her and obtain the happiness that she could not obtain. You should also follow her last wish."

"Ruoming is really like her and only likes women, right..." Liu Ruoxue asked softly.

"...For many things, it's not that we made the wrong choice, but that we had no choice at all." Xia Jingsong nodded, "She likes women, it's natural, it's not something you can change just because you want to, Ruoxue. Qingyun has already told you that if they want to have a normal marriage, they would rather never return to this world. Maybe another world would be more accepting of their feelings."

"So, I was extremely wrong back then, right?" Liu Ruoxue's voice sounded very low, as if she had suffered a great blow. If you didn't listen carefully, it would be difficult to hear what Liu Ruoxue was saying.

"Yes, but not entirely. Right and wrong don't happen in an instant. There's nothing wrong with rejecting Liu Qingyun. Even if she loves you, no one has ever said that you have to respond to someone else's love. But when you reject your sister and impose what you think is right, those stale rules from the past on her, things are out of control." Xia Jingsong sat next to Liu Ruoxue, comforting her while talking about the past. "It's the same with Qingyun and Ruoming. You can choose not to accept what they think is right, and you can even choose not to understand it, but you can't force them to think that what you think is right is right."

Liu Ruoxue stared blankly out the window, and she recalled the time she spent with Liu Qingyun.

Liu Qingyun would always chase after her. No matter where she went, she could always find Liu Qingyun's figure when she turned around, as if she could not get rid of him no matter how hard she tried. This usually polite sister always had a strong possessiveness. If a man approached her, Liu Qingyun would always look ferocious and drive him away. Every time it was her birthday, Liu Qingyun would always prepare for her in advance, but would not allow anyone except her to attend.

In fact, she should have noticed long ago that her sister liked her.

Since when did she start to lie to herself? She hypnotized herself into thinking that her sister's feelings for her were just abnormal feelings, which were the abnormal products of sisterly love and long-term dependence on her. She couldn't believe that women would like women. Even now that she knew that her sister really liked her and her daughter really liked other women, she still couldn't understand.

The education that Liu Ruoxue has always received is that she should take care of her husband and children and live a peaceful life.

She finally let out a long sigh on the sofa, then looked at Xia Jingsong.

"Forget it, forget it, maybe this is fate." Liu Ruoxue said weakly, "As long as she lives well and feels happy, let her be. She has grown up and I can't control her anymore."

She tried to stop her sister, but her sister would rather commit suicide than live a normal life, and this boomerang hit her daughter. Now her daughter wants to do the same and choose the same path as her sister.

Just like what Xia Jingsong said, maybe this is fate, they are destined to live differently from themselves.
