Meng Xi'er shook her head, enough, she thought. How could she further involve Lu Qingchuan in her pile of troubles? It was already excessive.
She couldn't bother him anymore.
In this lifetime, it was already too much.
Lu Qingchuan took a deep breath, giving a feeble smile, "I understand."
They both fell silent.
After a while, Lu Qingchuan barely whispered, "I know, in this lifetime, it's impossible anymore. So, in the next lifetime, I promise I'll wait for you. I will arrive earlier than everyone else, just to meet you a moment earlier."
"At that time, can you please, wait for me as well? Not to fall in love with someone else so soon?"
Tears streamed down Meng Xi'er's face, she bit her lips tightly, nodding, "I will wait for you, I surely will. I'm really sorry, for this lifetime, I'm really sorry."
If only she hadn't fallen for Lu Yebai in the first place.
If only she had loved Qingchuan sooner.
Qingchuan, who loved her so much, was ultimately let down by her.
