With a burning gaze, Ning Feng stared intently into Jiang Wan's eyes, trying to capture the confusion and bewilderment within them.
Sensing the hesitation that had previously caused him to break down, Ning Feng pressed his advantage and continued:
"If I can't trust anyone else, what about me?"
Ning Feng knew that Jiang Wan's slender hand, which he was holding, had begun to tremble and that she was starting to hesitate and feel confused.
Now!
Not letting go of this hard-won opportunity, Ning Feng endured the excruciating pain all over his body and, in the moment of Jiang Wan's confusion, forcibly got up and threw her backward.
Then, Ning Feng directly embraced Jiang Wan, who was falling backward, and they remained seated facing each other.
It looked as if Jiang Wan was straddling Ning Feng's lap, appearing intimate and ambiguous.
With a forceful pull, Ning Feng drew her soft body into his arms, staring into her tearful eyes, and said in a deep voice:
“You have the ability to detect lies; use it on me now.”
"You can see for yourself whether there is a single lie in my mouth."
confusion!
Jiang Wan was completely confused; she couldn't figure out what Ning Feng was trying to do.
However, out of long-standing habit and trust, she subconsciously listened to Ning Feng's words and used a lie detector on him.
"No matter what, I will never hurt you."
"I believe you, just as you believe me."
"I will not change, I will always be myself."
"…………"
One vow after another was solemnly uttered from Ning Feng's mouth.
Jiang Wan's mind, which was on the verge of collapse, gradually calmed down, because according to the results of the magical detection, Ning Feng did not lie.
Not a single word; all of them were heartfelt and sincere.
Gradually, Jiang Wan's emotions stabilized, her tense body relaxed, and she finally lowered her head and rested it against Ning Feng's chest.
The crack in his heart gradually stopped widening and even showed signs of being repaired.
But that's not enough.
At this point, we've only stopped the damage after the destruction; the real reconstruction hasn't even begun.
Having calmed Jiang Wan down, Ning Feng moved on to the next step, continuing:
"Whether it's the injuries suffered by your team members or the innocent civilians who were victimized, these are not your problems."
“Our responsibility is not to take those burdens; he wouldn’t want to, and no one can take them for him.”
"All we children can do is try our best to stop an old man from becoming senile in his final moments."
This would allow him to end things in a relatively dignified manner.
He died at the hands of his adopted son as a pitiful person bewitched by the gods, rather than ending up as a complete traitor who turned to the gods.
Finally, while Jiang Wan was still confused and slowly thinking, Ning Feng revealed his conclusion.
"And we did it."
"From then on, everything related to him was no longer our haven, nor our shackles."
"Because the shackles that belonged to him have been severed by my own hands."
silence.
Remaining silent, Jiang Wan kept her previous position, pressing her head against Ning Feng's chest, and remained silent for a long time.
Then, as if she had completely let go of something, she slumped down and let out a long breath.
call……
In such a short time, Jiang Wan experienced intense emotional fluctuations and now only feels exhausted.
After Ning Feng's brutal persuasion, Jiang Wan now felt that nothing else mattered.
I'm tired.
Then, she laughed self-deprecatingly and muttered to herself:
"...Ning Feng, why?"
Why did you do that?
Why us?
Why did all of this happen?
Why……
Jiang Wan's question didn't seem like she was looking for an answer, but rather an accusation, a expression of confusion.
However, Ning Feng seemed oblivious to the deeper meaning and answered without hesitation:
"because I love you."
Because I love you, I want to do all this for you.
Jiang Wan: ...?
……like?
Who loves whom?
ah?
I love me?
!!
Jiang Wan's mind went completely blank; she had no thoughts at all and was completely frozen in shock.
Ning Feng felt the stiffness of the body in his arms and smiled silently.
This statement is not a lie.
For more than ten years, they depended on each other for survival, sharing life and death.
Saying "I love you" is not too much to ask.
Jiang Wan maxed out her favorability rating at the start, but what about Ning Feng?
Is he just a block of wood?
No, it isn't.
He knew all too well what she had sacrificed and what she had done.
I know it better than anyone else.
However, after spending so many years together, he subconsciously categorized this relationship as that between family members.
Coupled with the fear of loss, he never dared to ask for anything, so he chose to keep quiet and turn a blind eye.
But even if you use language to cover it up, or use your appearance to disguise it, the matter itself will not change.
She loves him.
He loved her too.
However, due to Ning Feng's uncertain attitude, Jiang Wan chose to hide the situation, appearing the same as before, but in fact she had long been aware of her own thoughts.
Ning Feng didn't want to lose her, and neither did Jiang Wan.
Both of them were actually aware of this matter, but there was only a thin veil separating them, and they didn't know when it would be exposed.
Ning Feng's plan has reached its final stage.
reconstruction.
And this new haven is none other than himself.
