A surge of shame suddenly arose in his heart. After hesitating for a long while, Miao Liangfang clenched his trouser legs and spoke awkwardly, "I promised to help you pass the spring examination so that you could avenge me. However, I was not able to provide any assistance, therefore, you need not take my previous words to heart."
With resolve, Miao Liangfang said, "Lu Tong, let's forget about our previous conversation."
Lu Tong's passing of the spring examination had indeed nothing to do with him. Miao Liangfang still had some pride and couldn't do something as shameful as repaying kindness with demands.
After saying this, Miao Liangfang lowered his head, his mood incredibly complicated.
On one hand, he did not wish to entangle Lu Tong in his own grievances, and on the other hand, seeing his hopes dashed once more, it was impossible not to feel disappointed.
After all, he was no saint; selfish desires are hard to extinguish.
"No. I will honor my agreement with Mr. Miao."
