Ultimately, she still got scared of me? She ran away without once looking back. She didn't even hesitate or look back…
As the iron gate slammed shut, Su Zhinian's body turned cold even though he was standing in the warm sunlight. His dark pupils seemed to become translucent in that moment as endless desperation and sadness overflowed from them.
He wanted to chase after her, to beg her to stay, but… the Su Zhinian whom she had known all this time had never been the real Su Zhinian. The Su Zhinian he had revealed to her that day was the complete Su Zhinian, and certain revelations could never be taken back.
It was he who first committed the sin of omission, so he had no right to force her to accept it. He had once told her that if they got together, if the day came when she wanted to leave him, he would never let her go.
Indeed, even then, he didn't want to let her go, but he knew that was merely an empty warning. He didn't really think he would use some method to make her stay should the day come when she wanted to leave him.If you truly love someone, how could you force that person to accept someone that they couldn't?
Even if that someone was him, he couldn't bring himself to force anything on her again.
Using his super hearing, Su Zhinian knew Song Qingchun had already reached the gate of Shining Light Residences.
After a moment, he didn't hear the sound of her hailing the cab but her soft grumbling. "I've run so far; a normal person wouldn't be able to hear me, right? So, surely I can test it now!"
After Song Qingchun coughed audibly twice, Su Zhinian heard his name. "Su Zhinian? Su Zhinian? Can you hear me?"
She didn't run because she was scared? She merely wanted to run a test? Su Zhinian frowned slightly. Even though the anxiety in his heart hadn't completely dispersed, he still focused fully on her voice.
"Song Qingchun is a super duper pretty girl.""Su Zhinian is a big maniac!"
"Song Qingchun is the most beautiful person in the world!"
"Su Zhinian is the ugliest!"
She grumbled a few phrases, and Su Zhinian heard her footsteps return back to his bungalow. After the iron gate swung open, Su Zhinian saw the girl jogged back into the house with the same urgency she had shown when she left. The front door was heavily shoved open and slammed shut. Her footsteps padded upstairs until she blasted through the door of his study. Song Qingchun was busy catching her breath.
There was a sheen of sweat over her forehead. With a hand on her waist and another over her chest, she gasped hungrily for air before she asked, "Did you hear what I just said at the gate?"
Su Zhinian nodded. Before he could explain anything, Song Qingchun's eyes glowed with excitement, and she asked, "What did I say?"
This response was something Su Zhinian hadn't experienced before. It made him very anxious. He was surprised that she didn't act the same way as other people, but he was anxious about her reaction after she discovered more of his power.
Su Zhinian's lips pressed before he repeated, in the most level voice possible, the phrases she had uttered without missing a word. "Song Qingchun is a super duper pretty girl."
