The wind in April was a bit stuffy. Walking down the mountain, Luo Xue always felt a tightness in her chest.
Xiao Cao followed her and asked unwillingly,
"Ma'am, are we really leaving like this?"
Xiaoli couldn't help but nodded.
"Yeah, didn't we say we'd stay a few more days? Why are you leaving so soon? I haven't heard anything happened at home."
Luo Xue frowned and glared at the two of them unhappily.
"Are you two so brave? You dare to question this young lady's decision?"
Xiaocao hurriedly shook his head to explain,
"How dare we question Miss? It's just...if we leave like this, what if Prince Ming really shaves his head? Can he return to secular life then?"
When this matter was mentioned, Luo Xue stopped and froze for a moment, then continued to move forward and snorted lightly.
"I am now the second daughter of the Liu family. Other people's affairs have nothing to do with me. If you two are annoying me by nagging in my ears, then don't follow me."
Xiaoli hurriedly admitted her mistake.
"Miss, don't be angry. We were wrong and shouldn't have provoked you."
Xiao Cao suddenly clicked his tongue.
"Miss, look ahead..."
Luo Xue, who was walking attentively, looked up immediately when she heard Xiao Cao's words. When she saw Leng Ming standing not far away and looking at her, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Seeing that she saw him, Leng Ming walked forward slowly, and Xiaocao and Xiaoli tactfully stepped back.
"Luo Xue..."
"What are you doing here?"
Leng Ming was about to speak when he was coldly rebuked by Luo Xue.
He bit his lip tightly and looked at her.
"Xue, I...let's...let's have a good talk!"
"What are you talking about? You're about to become a monk, what do you have to talk to me about?"
"Xue, I know you are angry with me, and I also know that I have let you down. I know that I am a weak and incompetent person. When I knew you were leaving, I felt like the sky was falling. I didn't know what to do. So, I came to admit my mistake to you. I was wrong, please forgive me!"
"Oh, you're wrong? It's too late, Leng Ming. It's too late for you to admit your mistake to me now. Please get out of the way and don't stop me from getting on my way."
As she was talking, she was about to force her way down the mountain. When she passed by him, Leng Ming suddenly came forward and hugged her tightly.
"Xue, don't go. I know you hate me because you care about me. Give me a chance, okay? I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. When I saw you coming to the temple yesterday, I knew I couldn't be pure and I couldn't forget you. During this time, I have been deceiving myself. I kept telling myself that I would forget you, I would definitely forget you, but the facts proved that I didn't forget you at all. You have always been the most important person in my heart. Xue, do you know how I got through the days without you? I was confused every day, and my life was worse than death. I really don't know how I will live the rest of my life without you by my side."
When he said this, he began to sob. Luo Xue did not struggle and just let him hold her, but tears were already sliding down her cheeks.
She bit her lips tightly, still unable to vent the anger in her heart.
He suddenly grabbed her hand and hit himself hard on the face.
"Xue, hit me, hit me hard, until you are exhausted."
Her hand, tightly gripped by his, slapped his face again and again.
She shook her head vigorously and pulled her hand back.
"Leng Ming, why do you treat me like this? Why do you treat me like this?"
Luo Xue finally cried out. She leaned her head on his shoulder and suddenly bit him hard.
Leng Ming just frowned, didn't dodge, and didn't say anything.
He wanted her to bite him hard, if only she could vent her anger.
Perhaps she felt that she had bitten too hard, so she finally opened her mouth.
"Why don't you hide?"
"As long as you can vent your anger, you can bite me to death."
"Leng Ming, what do you want?"
She suddenly broke free from his embrace, shaking her hands and looking at him.
"Tell me, why did you come here to stop me today? What do you want? Aren't you going to become a monk? Go ahead, why are you stopping me?"
She was still upset about his plan to become a monk.
"Xue, I know. I came here and hid without even saying hello to you. It's my fault. I shouldn't have run away from things. I'm not asking you to be as nice to me as before. I only ask you to forgive me. During the time you weren't by my side, I really missed you. I didn't dare tell anyone. I tried to restrain myself, but I couldn't. If I hadn't come here and forced myself to practice, I think I would have gone crazy. Xue, please forgive me. I'll work like a slave for you for the rest of my life to make up for the pain I've caused you because of this incident, okay?"
As he said this, tears kept falling from his eyes. Luo Xue bit her lips tightly and looked at him. She raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face and asked angrily,
"What do you mean? Are you going to get back together with me? We've already divorced, have you forgotten?"
"I know I have no right to ask you to get back together. I just want... just want us to start over. Give me one chance, just once, okay?"
"Oh! Aren't you afraid that your mother will interfere? Aren't you afraid that she'll ask you to divorce me again?"
"Xue, this is my fault. I shouldn't let you down because of her. Don't worry, I will draw a clear line between us. I will tell her that I can't live without you. She also said it when she came the day before yesterday. She said she would ask you to come back to me. I believe that after all these things, she won't be the same as before. Xue, give me a chance."
Luo Xue felt at a loss at this moment. She didn't know what to do.
She wanted to forgive Leng Ming, but she was frightened when she thought of Chang's vicious look when she faced her.
When she was hesitating, someone suddenly shouted,
"Junior Brother, Junior Brother Jingxin, something happened!"
Leng Ming frowned and looked, then saw a little monk running down the mountain.
"Brother, why are you so panicked?"
The little monk gasped and said:
"Yesterday... the woman who came to see you yesterday, she's dead..."
What?
These words, like a bolt from the blue, exploded above Leng Ming's head.
He stepped forward and grabbed the little monk's shoulders, asking anxiously,
"What did you just say? Who died?"
"It's the woman who came to see you yesterday, claiming to be your mother. When I went down the mountain just now, I saw the government officials disposing of her body. Oh, and there was a man beside her..."
When Leng Ming heard this, he felt his body go limp and he took a few steps back.
Luo Xue didn't react for a moment. They were just talking about Chang's matter, how could she be dead in the blink of an eye?
Leng Ming didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly turned around and went down the mountain, ready to go straight to the county government office.
Seeing this, Luo Xue hesitated for a moment and followed. Xiaocao and Xiaoli had not yet reacted to what was happening. Seeing their young lady running down the mountain, they also followed with their bags on their backs.
