The images flashed through my mind, fast but incredibly clear.
Chang Le was stunned for a moment, then pressed her forehead against him and slowly relaxed her body.
Hua Wuyan noticed her relaxed body and looked at the road ahead illuminated by the streetlights, but his vision blurred. He pursed his lips, but couldn't stop trembling.
"sorry……"
Chang Le was slightly taken aback.
The boy's voice, broken by the wind, reached my ears, carrying a deep sense of guilt.
The night breeze carries the lingering fragrance of late-blooming osmanthus, yet it leaves a bitter taste in the heart. The flower walks silently and steadily, the night wind drying the unseen tear stains on the back of the person carrying it.
"sorry……"
This is the second tone.
Two apologies, two acts of indebtedness, a lifetime of guilt.
When the night wind fell silent, Chang Le said softly, "Let's go home."
Hua Wuyan felt a bitter taste in her mouth, but nodded and said, "Okay."
She didn't say she forgave him, and he didn't dare beg for forgiveness.
He will live with guilt for the rest of his life, and she will turn that guilt into a trap of revenge.
"Remember to let me know in advance next time."
Unfortunately, there won't be a next time.
The two of us,
There's no going back.
...
The next day.
"Huh?" Chang Le looked at Wei Zi and Hua Anning, who were full of anticipation, in surprise. "Are you... serious?"
Then she looked at Hua Wuyan standing next to her and asked with her eyes: Is this the good news you were talking about?
Wei Zi nervously rubbed her fingers together and said:
“I know we owe you something, so we thought it over carefully before deciding to combine Anning’s 19th birthday party with your 18th coming-of-age ceremony! To make up for the regret of not having a coming-of-age ceremony! Of course, if you don’t want to, Lele, Mommy won’t force you.”
"Uh..." Chang Le looked at Wei Zi's teary eyes.
Okay, I won't force it.
But refusing will make her cry, right...?
Chang Le hesitated for a moment; she had never really considered the coming-of-age ceremony.
Her eighteenth birthday was in March, and she was still in a coma at that time, so of course she couldn't celebrate.
And now, she has no interest in it.
Because! She's not eighteen at all!
She herself doesn't even know how old she is now. Asking her to pretend to be eighteen and have a coming-of-age ceremony feels like trying to look young on an old cucumber—it's just awkward!
In addition, if the Hua family holds a grand coming-of-age ceremony for her, her status in the Hua family and her relationship with the Hua family will change in the eyes of outsiders.
Chang Le finally said, "I want to think about it some more. Can I decide after I finish the competition?"
"Won't it be too late..." Wei Zi wanted to persuade her, but Hua Anning stopped her.
"Lele, it's up to you."
