Lu Tingxiao continued speaking, his tone becoming serious, "So, Ning Xi, don't think I'm too weak. Don't stay away from me because of this. I promise that no one can hurt me, and no one can use this to threaten you to leave me!"
"..." Hearing this, Ning Xi finally understood what he meant, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.
Lu Tingxiao let go of her slightly, held her shoulders, asked her to look at him, and spoke word by word as if he wanted to engrave it in her heart -
"Ning Xi, I've said so much just to tell you that no one and nothing can influence your decision. The only person you need to consider is me and one thing, which is whether you like me.
If it’s because you can’t fall in love with me, then I accept it, and this is the only reason I accept.
There is one more point, and it is the most important point. Ning Xi, I am already an adult. I can be responsible for all my own actions. No matter what I do, it is out of my heart and I do it willingly.
Although I like you, it can actually be said that it has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to feel any pressure at all. I will wait for you, until the day you fall in love with me. Do you understand?"
"..." Hearing this, Ning Xi smiled bitterly and stroked her forehead. Who said Lu Tingxiao was not good at speaking? This guy's eloquence was good enough for him to participate in the National Debate Competition. Every word he said really hit the softest spot in her heart.
In my heart, a voice, an answer echoed—
Lu Tingxiao...
Actually, you don’t have to wait...
I have fallen in love with you a long time ago!
However, she was not yet strong enough to overcome everything that happened back then.
Just tell him the whole truth, tell her that she had been raped and gave birth to a stillborn baby. It's just one sentence, it's that simple.
But what he couldn't bear was what she would face after he knew it.
Even if she believed that Lu Tingxiao was generous enough not to mind such a thing, who would be willing to expose their most filthy side to the person they loved the most
She couldn't bear the mere thought of it...
I would rather always be the best in his eyes...
This man in front of me is so good, he deserves the best, the best girl as his wife...
However, when she thought of this, at this moment, a thought and impulse that she had never had before suddenly surged up from the depths of Ning Xi's heart!
Yes, the man in front of you deserves the best!
So why can't she be the best
Good enough that one day, I can overcome the past, overcome my inner inferiority, and be good enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with him!
It is not only his weakness, but also his armor!
"Ning Xi... Ning Xi?" Lu Tingxiao looked at the girl who had been silent for a long time with some concern.
The gentle voice beside her ear brought Ning Xi back to her senses from the turmoil in her heart. Her eyes sparkled with a light she had never seen before. "Yes, Lu Tingxiao, I understand!"
Lu Tingxiao stared at the girl's eyes in shock. His heart moved slightly. Although he didn't know what she was thinking at the moment, he was still affected by her emotions. "Okay."
After figuring it out, Ning Xi felt like she had been reborn. In addition to her dream, she now had another wonderful thing in her life that was worth her efforts!!!
Before her brain could react, Ning Xi's body had already quickly stepped forward and took the initiative to hug Lu Tingxiao. Although it was extremely brief, it was just a gentle hug, only a hasty half a second...
