âYes, itâs all grandpaâs fault.â Hai Zhiyuan nodded heavily.
âNo, I donât believe it!â Hai Xiaotang shook her head, âGrandpa, it certainly wasnât you who did it, there must be some hidden truth, right?â
âAh, grandpa can make mistakes too. But when I realized my mistake, it was already too late.â
Hai Xiaotang was shocked.
Did grandpa really do itâ¦
âXiaotang, I knew this day would come. Iâve been running away all my life, but now itâs time to face it. Donât blame Ayu, indeed, itâs me who wronged them.â
âGrandpa, I still donât believeâ¦â Hai Xiaotang said sadly, âYou are so kind, how could you hurt others, I donât believe in it! You must admit it on purpose to save me.â
Hai Zhiyuan nodded: âYes, grandpa admitted it in order to save you, but that is the truth after all.â
Hai Xiaotang widened her eyes, âHow is that even possibleâ¦â
âAnd, grandpa turned himself in. Itâs grandpa who owes you an apology for dragging you into this suffering.â
âGrandpa, Iâm the one who got you involved!â
âXiaotang, listen to grandpa. Do not feel sad because of grandpaâs actions, living here actually brings me some peace. But after grandpa is no longer by your side, you have to learn to take care of yourself, remember to take care of yourselfâ¦â
â¦
When Hai Xiaotang came out of the visiting room, her eyes were already swollen from crying.
Dongfang Yu was waiting for her outside all the time.
Seeing her come out, he flickered in his eyes, wanting to comfort her, but he couldnât find any excuses.
Hai Xiaotang glared at him with some resentment, even though grandpa was at fault, but she still couldnât help blaming him.
However, she didnât want to see him even more.
Without saying a word, Hai Xiaotang turned and walked away, but she was grabbed by the arm by him after only a few steps.
âWhat are you doing, let go!â Hai Xiaotang was instantly angry.
Dongfang Yu asked in a low and hoarse voice, âAre you really planning to ignore me for the rest of your life?â
Hai Xiaotang scoffed, she laughed sarcastically, âYou think I was just kidding?â
âWeâve given up holding grandpa accountable, he wonât be sentenced for too long.â
Hai Xiaotang was slightly stunned, she would be lying if she wasnât surprised by what he said.
But, she hated him, not just because of that.
She hated him for using her, deceiving her, hurting herâ¦
She just hated him and didnât want to see him.
âDongfang Yu, no matter what, there is no chance for us!â Hai Xiaotang pulled his hand away and walked away with big strides.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She didnât look back, Dongfang Yuâs gaze instantly became vacant.
But when Hai Xiaotang was about to leave the prison, he chased after her and forcefully turned her around.
âHai Xiaotangââ Dongfang Yu asked painfully and subdued, âTell me, why do you hate me so much? Is there something I donât know about?â
Hai Xiaotang was stunned.
Dongfang Yu had been holding back for several days and now he couldnât stand it any longer.
He grabbed her shoulders, his gaze locked on her tightly, âI had a dream, I dreamed you died by hitting a wall right in front of me, and then you said something to me! You said if you knew this day would come, you would never fall in love with me. You also said that day, you knew this day would come, but you still walked towards it. You also said, you even died once without recognizing my cold-blooded nature. You also said I killed you again. What did you mean by all this, what did you mean by dying once, what did my dream mean?!â
