He picked up the glass decanter, poured half a glass into the glass, took a big sip, and felt a little relieved. He finally poured out his heart. As he said, no matter what the result.
He has no regrets.
From school days till now, Xia Xi had been confessed to by many boys. To say "many" was an understatement, it was more likely a lot. She was indifferent to most of the boys' confessions, and rarely did they make her want to cry.
She didn't have many friends she could confide in, so when she heard Lu Mingji confess his feelings, her eyes became sore and she couldn't help but want to cry.
Xia Xi tilted her head back and pressed her eyelids with her fingertips, but the tears didn't really come out.
"No way." Lu Mingji pulled out a tissue and passed it across the table, his tone light and intentionally livening up the atmosphere, "Are you all moved to tears?"
Xia Xi chuckled, wiped the corner of her eyes with a tissue, and faced him straight on. After a few seconds, she said solemnly, "We already have a common future. Boya's future is the direction we are working towards together. We can fight side by side for the rest of our lives, Lu Mingji."
What else does Lu Mingji not understand?
There was affection between them, and Xia Xi was a sentimental person, so naturally she wouldn't say blunt, hurtful words like "I don't like you," "Just keep the status quo," or "We're not suitable." In this way, she indirectly rejected his confession without hurting either of their feelings.
Before coming here, Lu Mingji had anticipated this outcome. He was sad, but not surprised. "Xia Xi, your promise of 'fighting side by side for a lifetime' is so powerful. I'm convinced by you."
He raised his wine glass. Xia Xi understood and also picked up the glass beside her and clinked it with his.
After speaking out, Lu Mingji no longer had many concerns and shamelessly asked all the questions he wanted to ask: "Are you still thinking about Xu Yanfeng? Is it because you can't forget him that you haven't been in a relationship for so many years? Do you want to get back together with him? I'm so miserable, don't give me empty words, I want to hear the truth."
"Just now I wanted to praise you for being so carefree, but what's going on now?" Xia Xi said, "Can I not answer?"
"No." Lu Mingji said seriously, "I want to die knowing full well. Is it possible that you can't accept anyone other than Xu Yanfeng? How unforgettable was your past?"
He said it calmly, but in fact his heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife and was bleeding.
He had too many questions, but Xia Xi only said one thing: "I just let nature take its course. I didn't force myself to forget him or wait for him. I'll go wherever time takes me."
After a pause, she looked at him with clear eyes, without any intention of prevarication: "So, do you understand?"
Lu Mingji thought for a while and seemed to understand.
She didn't deliberately forget Xu Yanfeng, he was there.
