C96

Yu Meng looked at the blood on the ground, but didn't approach her. Instead, she stood by the door and knocked on the metal door with all her might.

Not long after, a few soldiers walked in. Although the leader was a white man, his Chinese was quite good.

"You're in jail." The white man reminded her coldly that they had no right to shout.

These white men were always so small in the head, they could be easily tricked around just by pulling a few tripe.

The white man thought for a moment, then ordered his subordinates to bring He Mingxuan out.

When He Mingxuan left, he seemed to be struggling a little. He turned his head to look at Yu Meng with a complicated expression.

Unfortunately, Yu Meng's attacks were too ruthless, causing He Mingxuan who had grown up in a honeypot to lose the ability to speak occasionally.

Other than the fact that they looked different from cells, the treatment in this room was the same as hell. Although the people from the LTTE said that they would be spared, they did not say that they would be willing to let them go. Rather than living here for their entire life, they might as well go to heaven and reunite with their mother.

Thinking of this, Yu Meng gritted her teeth and gathered up her courage. She rubbed the match against the ground, causing a small flame to ignite in the crack in the wall.

Prior to this, she had seen through the cracks in the wall that the storage room was in. The reason why the gunpowder had extended from there to the cracks in the wall was probably because some poor little mouse had wandered around in the arsenal and finally found a way out of the crack in the wall.

The gunpowder was burning with a sizzling sound.

Following that was a sky-shattering sound that nearly shattered Yu Meng's eardrums.

The brick wall was blown away and Yu Meng was sent flying several miles away. She landed heavily on the ground. She was pressed down by the wall and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. However, she managed to avoid the attack of the other heavy objects.

She was pressed down so hard that she couldn't move. After a few days and nights, it was hard for both Yu Meng's body and heart to persevere. Just at the last moment when she was about to collapse and close her eyes, she saw Tan Yubai.

That was the end of it.

And on this day so many years later, the two who had experienced these battles back then were still able to calmly face each other and talk about what had happened back then.

Yu Meng had already understood all of this, so she didn't complain or regret anything.

She looked at He Mingxuan, and in her mind, she remembered his childish face back then.

When thinking about it, he could not help but exclaim about the wonders of life.

"Actually, you were right back then." Yu Meng whispered, "What right do I have to make a life or death decision for you?"

"Yu Meng …" Mentioning back what happened all those years ago, He Mingxuan could only sigh and regret, "After the big explosion, even though I escaped by luck, there was nothing left to regret."

He tilted his head slightly, and spoke with a tone full of self-mockery, "Traitor your friend, you're afraid of death. If it weren't for the trip to Sri Lanka back then, I really wouldn't know that I'm such a person."

He Mingxuan's expression was disgusted, when he spoke of himself.

Yu Meng sighed. She had already figured it out, so she couldn't figure it out for He Mingxuan.

"You really aren't wrong. It was because I was too excited to say that. Think about it, you being responsible for your own life is being responsible for your family. Back then, you had a father that loved you in the country, and a huge He family business was waiting for you to inherit.

"Don't laugh at me."

"I'm not laughing at you. I'm serious."

He Mingxuan pursed his lips, "Back then in the Sri Lanka, if not for you and Tan Yubai, I wouldn't have lived to this day." His eyes were serious, and his lips trembled slightly. "Thank you."

He was a fuerdai who had never experienced such hardships before. On the spur of the moment, he ran to Sri Lanka, where the war was the most intense, only to find out that it was Tan Yubai who had helped him escape the pursuit of cannon fodder. It was Yu Meng who accompanied him to overcome the fear in his heart.

Even so, after experiencing life and death situations, at the last moment, he still chose to betray his friend.

When a person was taken back to the country, he would never say a word about it.

He pretended to lose his memory until he saw Yu Meng again. Knowing that she had become a teacher at the university, he let go of everything and went to be her student.

"So …" Yu Meng's slightly hoarse voice once again cut through the silence of the ward. "You've gone all out to chase me, treating me well without asking for anything in return. It's all to make up for your guilt from all those years ago."

He Mingxuan shook his head confidently.

"I really like you."

"What do you like about me?"

"I like you to be brave, determined, and kind and positive."

Yu Meng could not help but smile bitterly.

"What you like about me is when I'm in love with another man."

Yu Meng knew very well that she was originally a lazy, unwooed, rich second generation girl. All the prideful qualities that she had were because of Tan Yubai.

She liked him, and wanted to go to the same high school as him. Thus, she had a firm goal in mind. She liked him, and wanted to go to the Sri Lanka to find him no matter what.

Yu Meng, who in this world loves the real her?

Probably only Tan Yubai.

Only he knew his true appearance. Grinding, nagging, cowering, and annoying.

Thinking of this, Yu Meng suddenly felt a bit sad. It wasn't that she was disappointed in anyone, it was just that she felt that her life had been a failure.

He Mingxuan, who had previously displayed such love for her, only loved her for her performance when she was exposed.

He Mingxuan tried to explain.

"There's no reason to love someone, I just... It's just a few of your strengths. " He Mingxuan could not help but sigh, and said rather dejectedly, "Moreover, what you said just now was the most heart-piercing sentence I've said in the first half of my life."

When the woman he loved told him that the best woman he liked was another man, he wanted to know who could bear it.

"Ming Xuan." Yu Meng's hand came out from under the blanket and gently held He Mingxuan's hand: "Thank you for taking care of me all these years."

"But..." She continued, "Guilt and love are often confused. I've had it so hard that I can't stand love with distracting thoughts. "

He Mingxuan held back the hundreds of thousands of words in his heart. He could explain it, could tell her with confidence that he knew the difference between love and guilt, and was willing to use his entire life to prove it …

However, all of these emotions were still concealed by He Mingxuan in the end.

In the end, all that was left was a hundred cycles and a thousand cycles.

After a long time.

He Mingxuan stood up, his hands uncomfortably checked his clothes, but had actually made them even more wrinkled.

"I'm going out for a smoke."

As he said that, He Mingxuan turned around. Before he even walked out of the sickroom, he couldn't hold back his tears any longer.

The glass on the door of the ward, under the reflection of the last bit of sunlight that was close to dusk, illuminated He Mingxuan's tears.

This teardrop rolled out of her eye sockets and onto the glass, before finally falling into Yu Meng's eyes.

She had never seen him cry before.

There are too many regrets in this world. We have had so many absurd dreams, and we are even more absorbed in them when we are awake.

They were all people who risked their lives for love, eager for the morning and the evening, hoping for the eternity. But fate, ah, had passed through thousands of mountains and rivers, but had still pounced on nothing.

Yu Meng tightly closed her eyes. The wind blew the curtains, causing them to tremble slightly. She finally couldn't hold it in any longer and started to cry.

Maybe it was because it was dusk, but the hospital's backyard was quiet and wide, the fallen leaves were scattered all over the place. Before he even had the time to clean them up, He Mingxuan looked at the leaves on the ground and his heart turned cold.

In ancient times, he thought, scholars were always sad to see a leaf, to see a flower, to see a worn-out thatched hut, and to be able to express so many feelings, it used to be thought that it was the egg pain of leisure so hypocritical.

Now it seemed that he only hated his lack of vocabulary.

He had too much to say.

He Mingxuan sat on the chair in the backyard, leaning on the pavilion's pillar that was surrounded by vines, it was a little cold.

This was probably retribution, he thought.

It was his retribution for betraying his friend.

He Mingxuan had thought about his future with Yu Meng a lot. He thought that even if she didn't love him, even if there was someone else in her heart, he was willing to spend his entire life with her. One day, she would compromise, drop her obsession, and like him.

However, he had never thought that Yu Meng would not believe in her love.

She said the love was due to his guilt towards her, so she didn't want it.

She did not believe he loved her.

That passionate, persistent, and indomitable love, in the end, only moved He Mingxuan herself.

If this wasn't retribution, then what was it?

Yu Meng did not believe in this love. Even if He Mingxuan were to put his life on the line, he would still be unable to do anything.

How to explain? He Mingxuan thought that he couldn't think of a better explanation to wear down Yu Meng's thoughts, just like how he couldn't get over it.

Everything had happened. A hypocrite would try his best to make up for the past few years by taking off his false skin. Anyone who thought about it would feel guilty.

If He Mingxuan wasn't absolutely sure of his love, he might have been a little hesitant.

But he never had.

His heart was as clear as a mirror. From start to finish, there was only one woman in his heart, the one who cried when she was angry, the one who choked on her own saliva as she cried.

The moment she lit the match in the dungeon, he wished he had died with her.

Humans only know to cherish after losing something.

When they met, they were afraid, but if they lost it, they would always regret it.

It was a hard labor to live.
