Spring Branches

"I'm sorry." Tang Asi said.

Apart from this, she didn't know what to say.

Lu Yichuang was so tolerant of her, so good that it was beyond words.

Tang Asi's eyes were tearful and filled with mist, as if they were about to fall out.

She had been trying her best to hold it back.

It's very hard to endure.

It's very uncomfortable to endure.

When Lu Yichuan saw this, his eyes seemed to be wet as well.

He suddenly turned his head and looked out the window.

There were stars outside the window and a plane drew a long line across the sky.

2 seconds later, Lu Yichuan got out of bed and closed the curtains. As he did so, he said, "Xiao Si, you don't owe me anything. You don't have to apologize to me. On the contrary, your apology will make me doubt myself and blame myself."

He looked back at her.

She was crying silently.

Both eyes were swollen from crying.

The pair of red and swollen eyes were looking at Lu Yichuan.

Lu Yichuan slowly came over and hugged Tang Asi, patted her back gently and said, "It's okay, don't cry, we are still the same as before. I will forget everything you just said."

Can I really forget it?

Those words were like sharp thorns, piercing into the softest and most unforgettable part of my heart. How could I forget them?

When she said those words, there was determination in her eyes and sincerity in her words.

They were deeply rooted in his heart.

He will definitely not forget it.

Even as time goes by, this matter will never be forgotten.

How miserable he felt at that time proved how sharp and harsh these words were.

But the only one who said he would start over was Lu Yichuan.

Tang Asi did not give any explanation or answer.

She might still stick to her idea.

She wanted to leave cleanly.

Tang Asi didn't say anything. He hid his head in Lu Yichuang's arms and cried silently.

After a long while, she still didn't speak.

Lu Yichuan didn't plan to ask any further.

He already knew the outcome.

Not speaking is an indirect rejection.

She didn't say it openly, just to give him face.

The two of them were lying on their respective beds, and the room was pitch black.

The thin curtains also blocked out the bright light from outside.

In the dark, they couldn't see each other clearly, but their eyes were open.

Tang Asi suddenly said, "Lu Yichuan, do you really love me?"

Lu Yichuan was surprised, but he didn't even think about it and answered resolutely: "Well, I fell in love with you a long time ago."

"What?" Tang Asi turned his head and looked at Lu Yichuan.

Although she couldn't see his face clearly, his handsome face lingered in her mind.

"Don't you understand or are you surprised?" In the dark night, Lu Yichuan's black and white eyes moved regularly.

It has come to this, and Lu Yichuan feels that it is time to take out his trump card.

Once this trump card is played, no matter what happens afterwards, it will be difficult to go back to the starting point due to Tang Asi's stubborn character.

The trump card only comes once.

Whether used now or later, it will be crucial.

Tang Asi replied in confusion, "Both."

Lu Yichuan smiled, "Oh."

Lu Yichuan then said: "Do you want to know when I fell in love with you?"

Tang Asi nodded heavily, "I do."

But Tang Asi guessed that she must have fallen in love with him after they got married.

Because before that, the two of them were two parallel lines that could never intersect.

"Do you think our first meeting was on the day Lu Yisi brought you home?" Lu Yichuang asked.

Tang Asi nodded doubtfully: "Isn't it?"

Lu Yichuan smiled. "We first met when you were very young. You were only five years old, and I was 15. It was the seventh day after my mother's death. You were holding a doll and looking at me. I could see the pain in your eyes. I remembered that look for a long time."

"..."

Tang Asi had no memory of this incident at all.

More of a stranger.

Tang Asi said: "I have no impression at all."

Lu Yichuan smiled, "You were only five years old at the time, still a child, it's normal that you have no memory of it."

Lu Yichuan exhaled lightly and smiled bitterly: "You are only in kindergarten, and I have already graduated from high school. There is a 10-year age difference between us."

Lu Yichuan felt a wet tear falling from the corner of his eye.

He didn't believe that he would cry at this moment.

So he raised his hand to wipe it.

Those were indeed the tears in his eyes, and he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.

Tang Asi said: "He is only 10 years old, it's nothing."

Lu Yichuan continued the previous topic and said, "When I thought we just passed by each other, I ran into you again. You were seven years old then, and you were abducted by human traffickers to a faraway place."

Kidnapped at the age of seven...

Hearing these words, Tang Asi felt inexplicably familiar.

She had a very deep impression of this incident, and it was because of this experience that she was able to be with Lu Yisi.

Was Lu Yichuang also there in that situation?

"Were you there too?" Tang Asi asked seriously, frowning tightly.

Lu Yichuan nodded: "Yes, I'm the only one here."

I am the only one here.

These four words made Tang Asi fall into self-doubt again.

Wasn't it that Lu Yisi and his work partners were busy with business at that time and encountered this scene, which saved them?

...Isn’t that person Lu Yisi?

Tang Asi's heart suddenly started beating very fast.

She realized something very serious: she might have recognized the wrong person.

"My father sent me here to discuss cooperation with the business people here. It was a coincidence that I saw you being kidnapped. I was excited and upset to see you again, but I was also very angry. I wanted to kill those people. Why did they kidnap you? They deserve to die!"

As he spoke, a sharp light flashed in Lu Yichuang's eyes.

His eyes were fixed on the light bulb above his head.

"Although I was slightly injured while rescuing you and fell into a deep sleep for a month, I recovered afterward. But when I asked someone to find out about you, you disappeared into thin air and I couldn't find you anywhere. I started to live my life of mediocrity again."

Tang Asi: “…”

It turned out that she had made all this mistake.

The person who saved her was not Lu Yisi, but Lu Yichuan.

I didn't expect there was such a connection between them.

The moment he saw her for the first time, this cold boy fell in love with her.

After much difficulty, he met his beloved girl again and thought they would be together forever. However, it turned out to be a farce and they were separated and could not see each other.

At that time, she was actually thinking about the person who saved her.

Until I grew up and met Lu Yisi.
