Lu Chen's embrace was warm, but Feng Guang was almost shivering from the cold. The smell of blood lingered in her nose. She was very familiar with this smell because she had smelled it on herself before. She still remembered the sound of blood dripping from her wrist onto the ground, a sound that was so despairing.
Feng Guang also remembered that when she chose to commit suicide, she was not pregnant. In fact, she had been married to Lu Chen for a long time and had never used protection, yet she had never gotten pregnant. Later, she learned that Lu Chen did not want her to have a child.
Xiaoxiao did conceive after Fengguang fell into a coma. She didn't know what method Lu Chen used; perhaps it was in vitro fertilization, or perhaps the most primitive means... But one thing was certain: given Lu Chen's abilities, if he wanted to, she would definitely get pregnant with his child.
Lu Chen understands Feng Guang better than he understands himself. He knows her weaknesses. The word "family" is something Feng Guang can never let go of, which is why Xiao Xiao was born.
Indeed, for Lu Chen, Xiaoxiao was merely a tool, a tool to restrain Fengguang.
Fengguang buried her head in Lu Chen's arms. She remained quiet for a long time before slowly raising her hands to hug his waist. Her hug back successfully made Lu Chen stiffen.
"Lu Chen..." Gradually, her voice choked with sobs, "I can never escape this place in my entire life, can I?"
"If Feng Guang wanted to escape, she shouldn't have come back for them." Lu Chen gently kissed the top of her head. Her cries always had a magical power that made his heart ache, but heartache alone was far from enough for him to choose to let go.
Feng Guang gently shook her head, "No... I didn't come back for them..."
"Not for them?" Lu Chen's usually gentle tone revealed a rare hint of surprise.
Hongdou slightly raised her head, her eyes red, yet also filled with a hint of confusion. "The reason I came back... is because I'm so scared... I'm scared you'll really kill Shen Xing, Lu Chen... I don't want you to go to prison, I don't want you to be locked up in a mental hospital... I don't understand, if you really were locked up, I could leave with Xiaoxiao, but I don't want to..."
"What do you mean by 'glorious'?" Lu Chen gently wiped away her tears, his trembling fingertips revealing his extreme lack of confidence.
He could hardly believe that Feng Guang had chosen to return only for him, after all, she had once longed to escape so much.
“Lu Chen…” Feng Guang grabbed his hand, holding it tightly. “You know, I like you. Six years ago… Six years ago I was in so much pain, but I never thought of killing you. If one of us had to die to free the other, I chose to kill myself… You know, I like you, don’t you?”
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Yes, I know Feng Guang likes me."
But she had too many people she liked in her heart—her parents, her friends… Lu Chen wasn’t the only one.
"You know I like you, yet you always do things that hurt me." Feng Guang choked back tears, her expression sorrowful. "Didn't you ever think about why I wanted to leave you in the first place?"
"I know……"
