That middle-aged man had lied a lot. He had treated his life as a joke. Perhaps he had decided not to meet her again until his death.
However, if he had really made up his mind, why had he come to see her? It was because he could not let go.
âDo you love him?â Nun Jingxin asked.
âYes, I love him a lot.â Ling Sheng nodded hurriedly, her eyes full of determination and sparkling stars.
âAre you determined to spend the rest of your life with him? Are you sure heâll protect you forever? Will you protect him forever?â
âYes.â
âDid he explain why he didnât come over?â
âYes.â
âThen why are you angry?â
âIâm just angry that he stood me up. Didnât we agree? Why didnât he come?â Ling Sheng let out an angry snort.
Nun Jingxin smiled bitterly as though she was reminiscing. She then said, âYouâre still young. When young people fall in love, they act like you. They often make a scene out of trivial matters. When you reach my age, youâll know that those things are really not worth mentioning.â
âThen, what is worth mentioning in your opinion, Nun?â Ling Sheng blinked her big eyes. After all, this beautiful lady was gentle, sensible, and magnanimous.
âIn my opinion?â Nun Jingxin held a cup of tea and looked up slightly at the last leaf on the tree opposite her, which had been blown by the wind. âCompared to life and death or Yin and Yang, nothing is a big deal.â
The last leaf, which had tried its best to hold on until now, had been blown to the ground by the north wind.
Ling Shengâs heart ached as she covered it with her hand gently and comforted her silently. âBut Nun, besides men, thereâs also friendship and kinship in the world.â
Humans did not just live for love. There was also equally important friendship and kinship in life. Why did she seem not to care about anything? Her heart was like dead ashes, and she looked like she would leave at any time.
Nun Jingxinâs heart skipped a beat. It hurt a little. Was this kinship? She had initially thought that it existed, but in the end, everyone she loved and cared about had turned against her and tried to kill her.
There was certainly friendship. If her friends had not supported her, she might have left with him six years ago. No one knew what it felt like to have an empty heart. No one knew what it felt like to live every minute and second in pain.
Ling Sheng felt that even if she did not say anything, it would be good to stay quietly with her. She had a nice sandalwood smell about her that could calm oneâs heart.
âAre you hungry?â Nun Jingxin asked with a smile when she saw her drinking water.
âIs there anything to eat?â Ling Sheng walked around in a circle, digesting the food in her stomach. She looked at her with drooling eyes and nodded. âI am a little.â
âHold on, Iâll get you something to eat.â Nun Jingxin smiled at her. The young lady was really adorable and obedient.
Ling Sheng basked in the sun. When the wind died down, she started to fall asleep.
She drifted off untilâ¦
âWen Ruoshui, itâs really you!â
An angry voice echoed in the air, causing sparks to fly. It scared her so much that she opened her eyes immediately. The lazy girl, who was like a cat, instantly became aggressive and her eyes shone coldly.
Opposite her, a woman wearing a green military coat and a pair of good-looking military boots stopped Nun Jingxin and slapped her face without saying anything.
