Chapter 138 Arrogant Second-Generation Prodigy (Gong) VS Humble, Sensitive, and Invisible (Shou) [76
Even though I was locked up there and lost my freedom, I still tried to find reasons to defend you, thinking that you didn't really want to leave me, but that you had your own reasons.
Despite the immense suffering during treatment, it was all so that I could see you one more time through the video.
Even though you did something that Lu Xingye would never forgive, I still couldn't help but want to hug you when I saw you crying.
Finally, when he saw Jiang Xiyu's departing figure again, Lu Xingye's aloof and indifferent attitude was completely shattered by his own tears.
He desperately tried to grab him.
Even after being caught, he couldn't stop crying.
When Lu Xingye saw that Jiang Xiyu was so upset that he could hardly breathe, he let go of his hand and reached out to wipe away his tears.
Jiang Xiyu always wanted to lower her head.
Lu Xingye forbade it, and he trembled slightly with nervousness.
Lu Xingye stared at him, forcing him to look back. After a long while, when Jiang Xiyu's breathing had calmed down a bit, he coldly asked, "Where do you want to go? Are you going to leave me again and lie to me again?"
Jiang Xiyu reacted very slowly, and even when she opened her mouth, she couldn't make a sound.
Lu Xingye didn't care. He could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion. He just stubbornly said, "How can you expect me to believe that you love me?"
He harbored many doubts, unsure whether he was doubting Jiang Xiyu or himself.
Finally, Lu Xingye asked the original question with a blank expression: "If a new reason comes up next time, will you still abandon me?"
He showed no impatience, waiting for Jiang Xiyu to process what he had just said.
After a while, he saw Jiang Xiyu shake his head frantically, and then he heard him whisper a few words, his tone broken: "No, no."
As if he needed a definite answer, Lu Xingye repeated, "Will you still abandon me?"
"No, I won't lose it."
Jiang Xiyu hadn't recovered from the severe lack of oxygen he had just experienced, and then he was subjected to these questions. His rationality was not very clear, and he only managed to keep his head up because Lu Xingye was supporting him with his hands.
But he still subconsciously tried to show that he would not abandon Lu Xingye again.
He touched Lu Xingye's hand, which was wiping away his tears, with his face, his voice weak and anxious: "Really, I really won't abandon you..."
"Xingye-ge, I love you, I really love you..."
He was eager to prove that he wouldn't leave, and also eager to tell Lu Xingye about his love.
He wanted to reach out and hug Lu Xingye, and he also wanted to use the same methods he used to coax Lu Xingye to make him less indifferent, but he was also afraid that Lu Xingye would reject him.
In the end, Jiang Xiyu could only look at him helplessly with tearful eyes, murmuring, "I love you, really, really..."
Lu Xingye did not immediately soften his heart. After staring at Jiang Xiyu's eyes for a while, a sickly gloom suddenly appeared on his pale face: "Then swear an oath, Jiang Xiyu."
He paused for a moment, a cold smile slowly curving his lips, and leaned close to Jiang Xiyu's ear, saying each word clearly: "I swear if you lie to me again, you will lose me completely, and you will lose your freedom completely!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiyu's face turned deathly pale, almost transparent.
He seemed unable to bear it and, in a somewhat frenzied manner, rejected the vow to lose Lu Xingye.
Lu Xingye refused to let him go, and his hand, which had been resting on Jiang Xiyu's cheek, slowly moved down and grabbed Jiang Xiyu's neck once again.
He used some force, pressing his thumb against Jiang Xiyu's Adam's apple, not giving him a chance to breathe.
Lu Xingye gave a final warning: "Jiang Xiyu, if you lie to me again, I will really lock you up."
As if to make the other party realize the serious consequences of deception, Lu Xingye added with red eyes and a heavy tone: "Once you're locked up, you won't be able to move. You won't be able to see the sun, and you won't see anyone again. I will make sure you can only stay in the darkness forever and wait for me."
Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then nodded repeatedly, choking back tears, and said, "Okay, I won't, I won't lie to you anymore."
"I swear, I will never leave again, and I will never lie to you."
After Jiang Xiyu said those words, Lu Xingye hesitated and then let go of her hand.
As his hand fell to the ground, Jiang Xiyu took it in her hand and held it up carefully.
Lu Xingye was stunned, and the expression on his face began to melt away like the snow piled up outside.
He desperately wanted Jiang Xiyu's promise; it was what he wanted most right now, and what he most wanted to stay.
Lu Xingye hoped that Jiang Xiyu would take this oath seriously and take responsibility for him.
Jiang Xiyu turned him into someone who "could only depend on Jiang Xiyu".
Actually, the flower depends on you too. Without you, it would really wither and die.
What I really wanted to say was that I couldn't live without you.
If I really rely on you too much and you feel overwhelmed, then I will learn to change.
I just hope you won't leave me next time.
Lu Xingye completely shed his cold mask after hearing Jiang Xiyu's vow.
In order to get out of the Lu residence as soon as possible, he could only pretend that he had been cured.
Even though he now suffers from severe aftereffects, he doesn't care.
"So, can I hug you now?" Jiang Xiyu sniffed, looked up and asked softly, then added worriedly, "If you're feeling unwell, it's okay if I don't hug you."
He felt guilty and heartbroken.
He finds it even harder to get over Lu Xingye's words, "You're disgusting."
There was nothing that could be done; Lu Xing had fallen ill.
Lu Xingye remained silent for two seconds without answering his question. Instead, he reached out and put his arm around Jiang Xiyu's shoulder, pulling him into his embrace.
Jiang Xiyu wrapped her arms around his waist and gently pressed her cheek against his heart. Only when she could clearly hear his rapid heartbeat did Jiang Xiyu's emotional breakdown finally subside. It was as if she had found solace, or as if she had embraced a lost treasure that she had regained.
The bedroom was no longer cold, and they held each other tightly and intimately.
The moment Jiang Xiyu held Lu Xingye tightly, he felt his body temperature and smelled his familiar scent.
Lu Xingye could no longer suppress his physical exhaustion. After closing his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a greedy desire in his heart: let Jiang Xiyu stay with him for the rest of his life and never be separated again.
After a long silence, Jiang Xiyu spoke in a muffled tone, cautiously pleading, "So, could you please not say I'm disgusting anymore? And please don't say you don't like me anymore?"
That's really a very serious statement.
Lu Xingye gave a soft "hmm" and then patiently explained to him, "You're not disgusted, I just thought I was hallucinating."
Jiang Xiyu was stunned. He didn't know that Lu Xingye's condition was so severe that he was hallucinating.
Just as he was about to tell him that this wasn't a hallucination, he heard Lu Xingye say again, "I will never like you again, because a long time ago, I told you that I love you."
As Lu Xingye spoke, he pulled Jiang Xiyu away from his embrace.
Their eyes met, and Lu Xingye's eyes held a lot of unspoken words, but in the end he simply pressed his forehead against Jiang Xiyu's and said softly, "All the bad things I said to you were the opposite of what I meant."
He gently kissed Jiang Xiyu's cheek, his voice filled with longing: "I don't really want to be separated from you, I just want us to be together happily."
