Rebirth: You Save Me with Your Deep Love

Even someone as proud and ruthless as Chu Xinduo couldn't help but feel inferior when facing the only true love in her life that was not mixed with selfish desires.

This man is truly like the mysterious moon in the sky, capable of making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves!

Compared to Chu Xinduo's emotional ups and downs, Si Yu did not have such complicated emotional changes when facing the woman he once loved and then betrayed him.

The reason for coming here is to get more and more comprehensive information through Chu Xinduo, so as to provide more help in cleaning up the remaining forces of the Chu family.

Second, they had loved each other and had a good time. Although they went their separate ways afterwards, they each had their own ambitions. In terms of national justice, Chu Xinduo was a betrayer; but in terms of feelings, Si Yu had never blamed Chu Xinduo.

Moreover, she also gave birth to Chu Tingfeng. It is neither moral nor reasonable to condemn her emotionally.

After a long silence, Si Yu signaled to the guard behind him to place a small plate of unpeeled fresh lotus seeds on the table, and then left respectfully.

Si Yu picked up a lotus seed, carefully peeled off the emerald green skin, revealing the snow-white lotus seed inside, and placed it on the side closer to Chu Xinduo.

"I remember you liked to eat this. But it's only early summer now, and the lotus buds are about to bloom, but the lotus pods haven't grown yet. This was refrigerated last year, I don't know if it still tastes authentic!"

Chu Xinduo's eyes were dim and his hands were trembling as he picked up the small fruit that had been peeled but the lotus core was still there.

Lotus seeds are sweet, but lotus cores are extremely bitter. Most people remove the lotus cores when eating lotus seeds.

But Chu Xinduo prefers the taste of sweetness mixed with bitterness.

Put the lotus seeds in your mouth, chew them twice, and the sweet feeling lingers on the tip of your tongue. It is a taste that everyone likes.

But within a few breaths, the bitter taste of the lotus heart diluted the original sweetness, leaving only bitterness in the mouth.

“Don’t indulge in the sweetness of the moment, always be mindful of the bitterness that may come in the next second!”

Chu Xinduo had forgotten where she had seen this sentence, but she remembered that she started eating the lotus seeds with heart after she was with the person in front of her.

She was afraid that she would become addicted and unable to extricate herself, so she used this method to remind herself at all times.

But...even after I left this person and returned to the Chu family, I never changed this habit.

Logically speaking, after eating lotus seeds for so many years, I should have gotten used to the bitter taste. But today, for some reason, the lotus seeds tasted much more bitter than usual.

Perhaps, because it was not newly produced this year, it became more bitter after being stored for a year!

After hesitating, Chu Xinduo finally spoke, "That child...is he okay?"

Chu Xinduo didn't say the name, but Si Yu knew that this child should be Lin Yuze.

Thinking of Lin Yuze, Si Yu's face was filled with smiles. "I went to see him the day before yesterday. He was seriously ill and lost a lot of weight. But with Xiaofeng by his side, he is in good spirits and should be able to get better soon."

After getting this answer, Chu Xinduo didn't say anything more, as if it was just a casual question, and then he just buried his head in peeling lotus seeds and didn't speak again for a long time.

Seeing this, Si Yu did not urge anyone to continue. He took a lotus seed and started peeling it. For a moment, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

To an uninformed eye, this heartwarming scene might just be an old couple with nothing to do, peeling lotus seeds and chatting about daily life, with occasional bickering.

"pat..."

The sound of water drops falling on the porcelain plate was particularly clear and noticeable. Si Yu paused while peeling the lotus seeds. Then, he put the peeled lotus seed in his hand into the plate, landing exactly on the teardrop.

The two of them were still peeling lotus seeds quietly, and that tear seemed to have never appeared!

Chu Xinduo stared at a plate of white lotus seeds, and deep fatigue and sadness emerged in his deep eyes.

It was just that the eyelids and eyelashes concealed his emotion, and even someone as perceptive as Si Yu did not notice this subtle change in emotion.

"do you hate me?"

You hate me for leaving you and betraying our relationship; you also hate me for having impure motives when I came to you; you hate me for going against your beliefs for so many years; you hate me... for holding the Chu family and doing so many things that go against you!

Si Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise at Chu Xinduo's question. He never thought that someone as proud as Chu Xinduo would ask himself this question.

"We are just opponents with different standpoints and values. I have no reason to hate you. If we talk about personal emotions, it is voluntary and there is no such thing as 'hate'. I respect your choice."

Si Yu's voice was extremely steady, and apart from being slightly hoarse, there was no trace of emotion in it.

This question, which seemed particularly important to Chu Xinduo, was as indifferent to Si Yu as "How's the weather today?"

This is not what Chu Xinduo wants to see!

After a brief silence, Chu Xinduo seemed to have finally mustered up the courage, looking at Si Yu with hope in her eyes, her lips trembling slightly, "You, you still..."

Do you still like me?

This question that had been lingering in his throat for a long time, he swallowed it back with great difficulty under Si Yu's puzzled gaze.

Si Yu was too calm, neither sad nor happy nor resentful, as if the person sitting in front of him was just an ordinary criminal and not the beauty he once loved.

At this moment, Chu Xinduo suddenly felt a sense of panic that "faith collapsed in an instant".

Those beautiful feelings that she cherished, collected carefully, and took out from time to time to savor carefully, seemed to have never entered the heart of the man in front of her.

What "the girl in green holds the inkstone to urge the students to finish their studies, while the girl in red sleeves adds fragrance to accompany the students in reading" and "the rain falls on the parasol tree at four o'clock in the morning, while there is a breeze in the courtyard along with the mountains and rivers" seem to be just my wishful thinking, and I am the only one who keeps thinking about them.

As for Si Yu, he seemed to be just an insignificant passer-by. Once he passed, he was forgotten, as if he had never entered my heart!

Si Yu was puzzled when he noticed the overwhelming negative emotions coming from Chu Xinduo, but at this moment, he would not hesitate to show his concern.

"Are you okay? If you have any requests, you can ask for them. You are very familiar with China's prison laws. Any requests within a certain range can be met."

However, Si Yu's words did not comfort Du Chu Xinduo, but instead made her already depressed mood even heavier.

The only ones who can use prison law are criminals!

So, in your heart, I am just a criminal and have no other identity?

Chu Xinduo felt bitter and wanted to ask, "Am I the only one who has seen the ocean and found it boring?" But she knew that she was the one who betrayed first, so she was speechless.

That's it!

It was I who chose the rights of the Chu family and gave up the person in front of me. Why should I be stuck in the siege of love or hate now?
