Waiting was the hardest part, Bai Wei even felt that each second felt as long as a year.
She didn't know how much time had passed when Luo Qinghe's voice finally came through, "Bai Wei, the question you posed is indeed difficult for me to answer. All I can tell you is that I truly like you and I do want to marry you; as for Nan Qing, I still treat her as a friend, and I will still help her when she is in trouble, that's all there is to it."
Bai Wei carefully pondered Luo Qinghe's words again and again in her heart, and couldn't deny that with each thought a greater sadness filled her.
But this sadness in her heart was different from the others, it was like a lotus seed, sweet on the outside and bitter inside. When you toss the whole lotus seed into your mouth, sometimes it's bitter, sometimes it's sweet, just like the vicissitudes of life. You want to articulate a reason, but then you can't.
