"You aren't the only one who's suffering, Xiaozu. I love the two of you and I just…" Lu Tianxin choked a sob. "It was hard choosing between the two of you. I decided that Sister Yimei needed me more here, and I knew I would never be able to forgive myself if I abandoned her back then."
More than anyone else, even his own father, Ye Xiaozu hated himself. He could have done something to help his sister and Lu Tianxin instead of pretending to be a dog licking his own wounds. His pain was evidently incomparable to the pain and suffering the two most important women in his life had suffered.
He'd totally deluded himself that he was the one who was suffering, that Lu Tianxin had betrayed him, when in fact she didn't. It turned out that he was the one who chickened out and abandoned her instead.
