_2 But when Jiajia disappeared, he merely vented his anger and went back to living his own lifeâ¦
Fate in this world is such a strange thing, like a roulette wheel slowly rising, then gradually falling again.
Every spin signifies a cycle of life, and in his cycle of life, the name âJiajiaâ was nearly completely forgotten by him!
The indoor air felt a bit chilly.
He rubbed his hands and his lips were dry, so was his throat.
He picked up the tea by his side and took a sip, but it wasnât enough.
He tilted his head back, pouring the entirety of the warm water down his throat.
A slender, fair hand reached over, taking the cup from him, then went to the water dispenser to fill another glass.
It walked back and handed him the glass!
Li Weihuan didnât take it.
âWhatâs the matter?
Arenât you thirsty?â
The womanâs voice was the same as it was ten years prior, still cold and distant.
Yet this chilly demeanor was familiar to Li Weihuan!
Li Weihuan tugged a smile at the corner of his lips, âI heard you go by Lun Ying now?â
Lun Yingâs eyes flickered, her lips moved faintly, giving in reluctantly, âYou can continue to call me Jiajia!â
âWhy this name?
Lun, for leaving, and Ying, the dim lightâ¦Did you choose this name out of despair?â
âNo!
As I said, you can continue to call me Jiajia!â
âAlright!â Li Weihuan seemed powerless, taking another sip of water.
After a deep breath, he finally spoke, âThereâs something I need to apologize for, back then, I didnât knowâ¦â
âYou donât need to apologise!â Lun Ying interrupted him, a wry smile on her lips, âYou didnât wrong me, in fact, I should thank you.
If it werenât for you, my grandfather would have died a long time ago, and I wouldnât be as well-off as I am now!â
Li Weihuan suddenly had no words to say.
Such a reunion brought with it so much uncertainty!
For instance, he had been so eager to find her, but once he did, he didnât know what to do next, nor what he should say.
He even felt that words were inadequate and superfluous.
âAlright, then tell me why you stayed in H City, why didnât you leave!â
Li Weihuan wanted to know the reason, not because he was overly curious, but because being linked with Gui Xi confused him.
âI fainted at the train station, and Doctor Guiâs medical team happened to be conducting a public health campaign nearby, so they took me thereâ¦â
âBut why Gui Xi?
You trust him more than you trust my family?â
âHe saved me.
After taking a brief account of my family background, he recommended I stay in H City and promised to fund my studies.
He asked me what I wanted to study, and I chose medicine!â
âJust because he asked, you stay?
You could just leave our house without a word?
Moreover, would he really be that kind-hearted?â
Li Weihuan wanted to laugh, having been deceived by his mother once, he believed that perhaps many acts of kindness were just cloaks for ulterior motives!
âHe recognized me, he visited you during your hospital stay, he sawâ¦In fact, I recognized him tooâ¦I think heâs a good person.
I accepted his help because I wanted to study.
Studying was my biggest dreamâ¦â
âSo?
Is that why you stayed?â Li Weihuan didnât believe it could be that simple.
Although he didnât feel too strongly about Lun Yingâs departure at that time, it was not his place to interfere in other peopleâs lives.
Nevertheless, ever since the day he discovered the truth, a discomfort gnawed at him, continuing for quite a long time.
âWhat else do you think could be the reason?
How complicated could it be?
If I didnât stay, I would have returned to the small place I used to stay.
But what would I have back there?
My grandfather is dead, I have no relatives or friends there.
Who would I seek if I returned?
Facing a dilapidated, tasteless home, guarding a lifetime?â
Lun Ying smirked at him, âOf course, you wouldnât understand any of this.
Since you grew up in wealth, youâve never had a lack of money or even the concept of money.
You donât know how money in many cases can buy life, dignity, body, freedom, and even everything.
You donât understand that when a person is in a dire, helpless situation, what they need the most is actually just money.
Many lost things can be bought back with moneyâ¦â
âEnoughâ¦â Li Weihuan interrupted her, âYou donât need to tell me all this.
My sense of value is not so easily influenced by you!â
