Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 470: Loving Myself is More Important Than Loving You

Chapter 470: Chapter 470: Loving Myself is More Important Than Loving You_1

Zuo Jiayong looked at Lu Wei’s terror, sighed lightly, walked over to him, slowly squatted down, and stared into Lu Wei’s eyes.

"Wei Wei, you don’t need to be afraid, you should know that I won’t hurt you."

Zuo Jiayong’s voice was gentle and sad, like a snowflake drifting slowly from the sky.

"You... don’t you hate ?" Lu Wei stuttered for a long ti before finally uttering a sentence.

He was taken aback by Zuo Jiayong’s attitude. He did not honour their agreent, did not jump off the building with her, he thought she must have hated him to the core, which was why he was so scared earlier.

Zuo Jiayong fell silent for a long while, tears welled up in her eyes as she choked, "I want to hate, yet I can’t bring myself to."

Looking at the tear-streaked Zuo Jiayong, Lu Wei’s eyes also reddened.

Once an unswervingly committed couple, they were now wordlessly choking with emotion. Their reunion after being separated by life and death has made their feelings extrely complicated.

Qin Sisi watched from the side indifferently. Although she felt a bit emotional, she didn’t think their so-called love was beautiful.

But right now, the two of them were just staring at each other silently, not saying a word for a long ti, Qin Sisi felt she needed to remind them.

So she took a couple of steps forward and said to Zuo Jiayong, "Didn’t you say you had sothing to ask him?"

Zuo Jiayong had previously stressed that her wish was to see Lu Wei and ask him that question. Now they have finally t, but Zuo Jiayong still hadn’t asked.

Qin Sisi’s sudden appearance scared Lu Wei again. He looked at Qin Sisi nervously and fearfully, babbling, "You... who are you? Why are you in my house?"

Zuo Jiayong answered for Qin Sisi, "She’s a mage. She brought

here to find you."

"A mage? Am I really not dreaming?" Lu Wei muttered to himself again, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes, but the reality was right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe.

Zuo Jiayong squeezed out a smile and said gently, "It’s not a dream, it’s real. I only found out after I died that humans actually have souls."

Lu Wei didn’t know what to say, just looking at Zuo Jiayong with astonishnt. Even though Zuo Jiayong said she wouldn’t hurt him, he couldn’t relax.

Or rather, he hasn’t been able to relax for more than half a year.

Zuo Jiayong’s smile faded, she looked seriously at Lu Wei and said, "Wei Wei, I’ve been waiting for you for so long but you haven’t co. Now I just want to ask you, why did you break our promise? Can you give

a clear answer?"

Lu Wei’s face turned paler, he knew it. That incident must be a knot in Zuo Jiayong’s heart, a knot that could never be untied or escaped.

Lu Wei didn’t answer for a long ti, Zuo Jiayong’s expression grew sadder, her voice trembling as she asked, "Did you ever love

at all?"

"Yes." This ti Lu Wei answered without hesitation, his determined look seed to indicate that he was not lying.

Zuo Jiayong’s expression softened a bit, and she continued to ask, "Then why didn’t you jump down with ?"

Lu Wei fell silent again.

This ti Zuo Jiayong didn’t hurry to ask, just quietly watching Lu Wei, her beautiful, clear eyes seed to see through all of Lu Wei’s thoughts.

Under her gaze, Lu Wei felt that his cowardice and fear had nowhere to hide.

He gritted his teeth, finally trampling his dignity under his feet, he croaked, "Because I was afraid of dying."

"Afraid of death?" Zuo Jiayong looked puzzled, as if she couldn’t understand this answer, "But, when I proposed that we jump off the building together, never to be separated, you agreed!"

Qin Sisi on the side couldn’t help but roll her eyes, you should have said you were afraid of dying earlier!

If you had said you were afraid of death and didn’t agree to jump, Zuo Jiayong naturally wouldn’t have jumped either. After she jumped and died, you then say you were afraid of dying and didn’t dare to jump, isn’t this a trap?

Lu Wei was stumped by Zuo Jiayong’s naive question as well, his face was flushed red, he stuttered for a long ti, but couldn’t utter a word.

Zuo Jiayong looked at Lu Wei’s flustered and embarrassed expression, as if she understood sothing. She sighed softly and asked, "Do you have another girlfriend now?"

Lu Wei imdiately answered, "No, I’ve been alone, I... I often think of you."

This wasn’t a lie. The impact of Zuo Jiayong’s death on Lu Wei was indeed significant.

In those early days, he would dream of Zuo Jiayong every night, dream of their happy tis together, and dream of her leaping off the tall building, dying tragically and bloody.

However, it’s been more than half a year since Zuo Jiayong’s death, and he has been dreaming of her much less often, basically about once a week.

Just as he thought he would eventually move on from Zuo Jiayong’s shadow, everything he saw at this mont shattered his illusions.

He had a faint feeling that he might never escape this for the rest of his life.

Zuo Jiayong had thoroughly observed every room in this house when she first set foot in it and didn’t notice any signs of a woman’s presence. She had guessed that Lu Wei probably had no girlfriend.

Now Lu Wei also confessed that he had always rembered her and hadn’t sought out any other girlfriend.

This answer sowhat comforted Zuo Jiayong. She gave a bitter smile, shook her head and said, "I really don’t understand, do you love ? Sotis I feel like you love

so much, and sotis I feel like you don’t love

at all."

Throughout the years that she had been a wild ghost on the rooftop, she had been agonising over this question.

Love?

Or not love?

Lu Wei moved his lips, but couldn’t say a word.

Love is real, it’s just that...

As an observer, Qin Sisi couldn’t help but interject, "Let

tell you instead!"

Zuo Jiayong turned her head to look at Qin Sisi puzzledly. How would Qin Sisi, an outsider she just t a few days ago, understand the question she had been struggling with for so long?

Lu Wei also looked at Qin Sisi in surprise, sotis even he couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.

Qin Sisi stared at the male and female characters of this tragic love story and finally said to Zuo Jiayong in a clear yet resonant tone, "I think he’s not lying to you, he really loves you very much, only, there’s soone else he loves even more."

"Soone else who he loves more?" Zuo Jiayong tensed up imdiately, "Who?"

Lu Wei was also puzzled. In his twenty plus years, he indeed had only had one girlfriend, Zuo Jiayong.

Qin Sisi stared at Lu Wei, and said crisply and lowly, "Himself."

It was as if a bolt of lightning had slashed opened a gash in Zuo Jiayong’s heart, revealing the confusion that had long perplexed her.

The truth should be exactly this, right?

His love was real, it’s just that when compared to his own life and safety, love was ultimately a lighter weight.
