After hearing everything, Lu Yuanhua fell into silence once more. Time passed in the blink of an eye, as fleeting as clouds and smoke. Though Lu Yuanhua never replied to a single letter from Su Xiaowan, he had never once forgotten her, not even slightly.
It's just that Lu Yuanhua knew all too well that some things cannot be forced. Now ill, he allowed himself to indulge and take a break, letting himself be willful this one time...
From a young age, he had always lived by the rules, as a member of a noble family, the codes of conduct were numerous. Although he joined the military, he did his utmost to be an exemplary soldier and had never done anything that went against discipline.
He had always abided by his duty, suspecting that Su Xiaowan might just be the calamity in his life that he couldn't overcome. Yet at the same time, he didn't have the courage to break free from the shackles he had imposed upon himself. That's why he was in pain, that's why he was at a loss.
