Her lips were slightly curved, but her eyes didn't seem focused at all. She said absentmindedly, "That night, he broke out of the door, so I didn't think too much about it. As a result, he went to a small tavern and drank in the middle of the night. On his way back, he slipped and went down the Lish River. When he was found out, he was already gone."

Because of the shock, Lu Kewei's mouth was slightly open. He looked at Qin Zheng in disbelief, unable to say anything for a while.

Qin Zheng laughed again, "If there's anything I regret the most in my life, it must be breaking up with him. "It was only after his death that I realized that I didn't dislike him as much as I thought I did, that by the time I found out, he was already gone."

After that, he paused and continued, "After the rumors in the country died down, I had finished my doctorate in Edinburgh and also returned back to China for a while. It was mainly to accompany your grandfather. I also happened to meet my mentor at that time, who added another child to his life and was very happy. When he saw me, he was astonished, as if I were a bad person who was disturbing his blissful life. His wife also saw me, and it was as if the victor was looking at the loser. "

Lu Kewei turned to the side and gently hugged Qin Zheng's thin shoulder. She did not expect that a woman who had propped up the sky for her would have such a sorrowful past.

This time, Qin Zheng laughed in relief: "It's been a long time. No matter how regretful I am, I can't change anything. But now, it's you, you're still young, and there's still a lot of things that you can restart or choose to do. "

Lu Ke Wei didn't expect her to say so much about him. He was a bit surprised and a bit sad, "Aunt, why is it me again?"

Qin Zheng laughed, "You and I were similar back then. At that time, I thought that even if my mentor and I couldn't be together, we were both truly in love with each other. It was fate that made a fool of us. When she saw how happy his family was later, she knew that she had gone stupid. Auntie really does feel that you and Song Zixiu aren't suitable, so it's not a good thing to keep pestering them. And Yunfei was just like my professor back then, who gave up everything in the country to come find me … "

Lu Kewei naturally did not agree with Qin Zheng's words. He hurriedly said, "Aunt, Senior Brother Luo only wants to return to school to continue his studies. You're really overthinking it." Last time, Qin Zheng had mentioned this to her, but she believed that Luo Yunfei liked her, but she was unwilling to believe that he had sacrificed so much for her.

Qin Zheng shook his head helplessly and said, "Kevik, you are the one who always make a fool of yourself when it comes to critical issues. Yun Fei must have thought it through when he went home and his job was also very good. Why did he give up everything he had and come back? Or if he wants to continue his studies, isn't it possible for him to do so in the country? "

Lu Kewei clearly wavered, but he kept saying, "Auntie, it's not like that. It definitely isn't like that."

Qin Zheng didn't want her to be an ostrich anymore and only saw what he wanted to see, "Do you know why I like Yun Fei? He likes you but he's not impulsive. When he's not sure what future or promise he can give you, he'll never show you his intentions. If I were to really hand you over to a man like that, I wouldn't be worried at all. "

Lu Kewei said with a sad tone, "Aunt, although I've already separated from Song Zixiu according to your wishes, there's nothing I can do …" My heart is still with him, and I really can't let it go. "

Qin Zheng had a wound on his abdomen, so he couldn't move too much. He only reached out a hand to pat Lu Kewei's shoulder, "There's no hurry. I was just talking to you." You still have such a long life ahead of you, you don't even know what will happen in the future.

Lu Kewei did not want to hear Qin Zheng say such words the most, so he stopped the topic and said, "Aunt, it's already very late. Let's go to sleep."

"Go to sleep." Qin Zheng softly replied.

It had been a week since Lu Kewei contacted Song Zixiu. When there was nothing to do, she was always in a daze and would look at her phone from time to time. Sometimes, when her phone rang, she would be so scared that her whole body would shake. But no matter how many times his phone had rung, none of the calls had come from Song Zixiu. She had hesitated many times during the night, but she had never had the courage to call him.

Lu Kewei couldn't help but wonder if she had lived her entire life like this?

A few days later, Qin Zheng returned to the hospital as instructed by the doctor. The doctor saw that the knife's wound was recovering very well, so he said a few more things that he needed to pay attention to. Lu Kewei and Qin Zheng then left the hospital.

Luo Yunfei knew that Qin Zheng would be back for a visit today. As soon as they walked out of the clinic building, they spotted the late arriving Luo Yunfei. He said apologetically, "Sorry, I'm late."

Qin Zheng laughed: "Yunfei, you are too polite. You don't have to come at all."

Luo Yunfei still had that gentle look of an aristocratic young master. "Professor Qin, there must be something inconvenient between the two of you. At the very least, you can let me do all the physical work." After saying this, he led the two towards the parking lot.

Qin Zheng pulled Lu Kewei a few steps behind him. He said in a seemingly careless manner, "It's really hard to find such a man."

Lu Kewei pretended not to hear and did not reply to Qin Zheng's words.

At home, Qin Zheng left Luo Yunfei to eat.

During the meal, Qin Zheng would ask Luo Yunfei about his studies from time to time. The two of them would ask and answer questions. Qin Zheng became more satisfied and said, "Why have I never met a student like you?"

Luo Yunfei said humbly, "Professor Qin, don't praise me too much."

The atmosphere at the table was harmonious, and the words kept coming back and forth.

After the meal, just as he finished washing the dishes and returned to the living room, he heard Luo Yunfei say goodbye and left a few words for Qin Zheng before insisting on leaving.

As usual, he picked up a coat and escorted Luo Yunfei out the door.

When they got downstairs, Luo Yunfei suddenly said, "Ke Wei, let's walk around the vicinity."

After a moment of hesitation, he finally agreed.

The two of them walked along the street. It was already September, and the weather was beginning to turn cold. The leaves on the trees rustled in the wind. They looked like ghosts under the road lights.

"Ke Wei, I returned home two years ago. With my education and the performance of the interview, I successfully entered a large design department. My job could be considered stable now. My mother always thought I was getting old, and she started arranging for me to meet the girl she liked. I actually thought about trying to get to know one of them and get along with him. But I find I can't forget what happened in Edinburgh, especially what happened with you. So I came back here, despite my mother's objections. "

The night was quiet, but Luo Yunfei's voice sounded very comfortable, in keeping with his gentle temperament.

Lu Kewei couldn't help but say, "There's your family in the country and you also have a stable job. If it's me, I probably want to stay at home."

Luo Yunfei laughed. "That's because you don't have such a deep obsession in your heart like me. Persecution is heaven and hell with just one thought, but you just can't let it go." He purposely paused for a moment before continuing, "Ke Wei, you are my obsession."

Even though Lu Kewei was already mentally prepared, he was still astonished when he heard him say this. He didn't know how to reply.

Unknowingly, the two of them had walked into a small building that was opposite to the one they had rented previously. Luo Yunfei was reminded of them as he smiled, "Compared to Little Mei and the rest, you were not the most cheerful and fun one. But I saw you at first glance."

A new wave of students had moved into the building, but there were signs of their former lives everywhere.

"Time flies. When I think back on it now, I can't help but feel happy." Luo Yunfei sighed with a smile.

Lu Kewei did not want to directly refuse the heart of this noble man. Even his confession was so gentle, but she had always been pretending to be stupid, so she failed to live up to his sincerity.

"Senior Brother Luo, I really have always treated you as my senior. And you also know that even though my aunt doesn't like Zi Xiu and I have separated from him, I still can't let him go. " Lu Kewei whispered, not daring to look at him.

Luo Yunfei seemed to have already expected this. He said without joy or anger, "When I left suddenly, I also thought that everything I did would be in the country and I wouldn't have any relationship with you anymore. I even forced myself to confess to you. However, the moment I returned, I found that there were already people by your side. Back then, what I regretted the most was not confessing to you in the beginning, even if you still rejected me in the end, at least I won't feel as regretful as I do now. "

Lu Kewei looked at him, then quickly lowered his head.

Luo Yunfei held onto her shoulder, looking down at her head, which could only see her hair, and smiled, "Ke Wei, I'm just saying my thoughts to you like a friend, and I don't want to leave any regrets. Just listen to me, I don't really want you to respond to my feelings, I just want to be at ease with myself."

"Senior Brother Luo, it's getting late, I want to go home," said Lu Kewei, who did not expect the gentleman in front of him to be like this.

Luo Yunfei smiled, "Okay, I'll send you back."

Thus, the two of them began to turn around and walk back. Behind them, two small buildings were brightly lit, and they could vaguely hear the laughter of the young man.

After parting with Luo Yunfei, Lu Kewei did not go home immediately. Instead, he took a taxi to Song Zixiu's villa. She walked up to the iron door and looked up. The lights were on in the master bedroom on the second floor, and she was relieved to see that at least he was still in Edinburgh. He stood for a while longer and noticed that someone was standing by the French windows. After a while, he closed the curtains and waited for the lights in the room to be turned off.

At some point, her vision had begun to blur. In the end, she squatted down by the door and cried like a lost child, completely at a loss of what to do.

In the following days, Lu Kewei returned to his original appearance as Song Zixiu. Every day, he would regularly come to Valentin to work and accompany Qin Zheng when he got home. Luo Yunfei was still a frequent guest of her family, often coming to their house for food. Lu Kewei had already treated Luo Yunfei as one of his own, but with the same feelings as her brother and his family, she had never been able to have any love for him.

However, the things that seemed to be normal were only the surface of Lu Kewei's face. She always felt as if her heart was missing a piece, and even the pain seemed to have disappeared. She only felt numbness from head to toe, not knowing if she was too hurt to the point where there was only an uncontrollable reaction on her body.

Little Mei, who had disappeared for some time, suddenly appeared in the store in the evening. She ordered a cup of Blue Mountain and drank from time to time.

Lu Kewei was a bit speechless, "Beautiful girl, find a seat and sit down. I came over to talk to you when I had nothing to do. If you continue to work like this, it will affect me."

Little Mei took another sip of her coffee. Even the way she drank the coffee looked very coquettish. She pouted her lips and said reluctantly, "Alright, I'll find a place to sit first. Hurry up and come over, don't disturb me so I can have some fun later."

As soon as Gree came out, he saw Little Mei. After greeting her, he walked back to Lu Kewei and said, "Guest, I'll keep an eye on you. You should go over and talk to your friend."

"Thank you," Lu Kowei thanked her and sat down beside Little Mei.
