"Han Qi, please... live a little longer for me... a little longer..." Feng Guang choked out, her eyes blurry with tears as she looked at him so close to her. "If every day you live feels like it's stolen, then I'll steal with you. No matter the cost, no matter what I have to do, as long as you can live, I'm willing."
At this moment, she could not deny that the scales of life in her heart had been shattered. No one's life could compare to Han Qi's, not even... not even Han Chen's.
She gripped his hand tightly, her voice heavy with pain. "Han Qi... I'm a bad woman... I think... if there's only one way for you to survive... then..."
Nothing is beyond sacrifice.
"It's not you who's bad." Han Qi gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. His smile was so perfect, but it made anyone who saw it feel extremely painful. "Feng Guang, it's my fault. I thought... I had strong self-control. I thought I could keep the proper distance between you and me. I also thought I was a very rational person. My rationality told me that I should have accepted my fate more than ten years ago."
But all of these assumptions turned out to be wrong after he met her.
Meeting her that night was an accident. Han Qi had never encountered such a wonderful accident before. When they first met, her voice begging him not to die was so beautiful. When he was unconscious, she stayed by his side. Her pleasant scent seeped into his bones and his heart through his nose and skin.
It's like a poison, a poison without an antidote.
Han Qi had met other women before. The Han family also had guests. Some of those women treated him like a fragile object, while others were captivated by his appearance and couldn't help but slowly get closer to him.
He had thought that perhaps these women could bring him different surprises, but he was still disappointed. He overestimated those women and underestimated his own impatience. Only the glamour was different.
He didn't understand where this difference came from, but he knew that the moment she got close to him, his usually steady heartbeat would start pounding wildly as if it had gone out of control.
As for him... Han Qi knew very well that he was not qualified to approach her, after all, he had far too little, while she had far too much.
Whether it was going on a date with her, shopping with her, or accompanying her to school, or publicly declaring his ownership of her... he couldn't do any of it.
From the very beginning, he should have been the one eliminated, but human greed is always limitless, and Han Qi was no exception. Once he got close, he wanted more.
What followed was a profound sense of despair that his body brought him...
Feng Guang's heart was breaking; she sobbed incessantly, "I can't... I can't help you..."
At this moment, she wished this were an unscientific world, like a world of fantasy, so she could find many unscientific ways to save him.
"This isn't your fault." He kissed her moist eyes, his voice soft and gentle. "This is my unique pain, and you shouldn't have to bear it."
He reached out a hand to wipe away the tears on her face, his fair and slender hand gently touching her chin and lifting it up. He slowly leaned his upper body towards her, and finally, he kissed her lips, silencing her trembling sobs.
