"Will you sit next to ? Yan, I’m afraid I don’t have the courage to say it."
Ji Wei patted the spot next to her and moved inward, pleading.
"Do you rember when you were hospitalized with a leg injury? That night, you craved porridge. Aunt Li stayed to take care of you, but I went myself." Ji Wei looked at Leng Yan, who had matured and grown more handso over the past three years, and sighed softly.
"I rember. That porridge shop was right across from the hospital. What’s wrong?"
Leng Yan closed his eyes, recalling that mont. It was three years ago, just after the Spring Festival, and it was still very cold. An accident had occurred, and he was hit by a car. That day, he didn’t feel like eating anything and just wanted so porridge. Since the porridge shop was right next to the hospital, when Ji Wei offered to go herself, neither he nor Li Qiu thought much of it.
"That day, the porridge shop closed early due to so issue."
Ji Wei looked up at Leng Yan, leaning against his chest as tears welled up in her eyes.
"You didn’t buy it there?"
Leng Yan’s heart twitched painfully. He had an inkling of what was coming, a painful bitterness arising as he handed her a tissue.
"That night... sob, Yan..."
Ji Wei could only manage a few words before bursting into tears. "Yan, I’m sorry. I left you because I felt I was no longer pure and didn’t deserve you."
"How could you think that, silly girl."
Ji Wei’s tears flowed fiercely, piercing Leng Yan’s heart. He wiped them with a tissue, his hands trembling slightly.
He had never anticipated such a thing happening, not in the slightest.
From Ji Wei’s fragnted story, he finally understood what had happened.
Because the porridge shop was closed, she went to another one. On the way there, she was attacked...
He clearly rembered that day she took a long ti to return, unable to contact him as Ji Wei’s phone was left in the ward.
When Ji Wei returned, her eyes were red, and there was dirt and snow-like ss on her thick clothes. She explained that there were too many people drinking porridge in the cold weather, so the wait was long. The ss on her clothes was from a fall, and her eyes were red from crying over the pain.
He believed her explanation, wiping her tears, and earnestly promised her he would only be good to her this lifeti.
But when his leg had fully healed, he planned to propose to her, only to hear news of her wanting to break up.
She told him so decisively that she no longer loved him, hadn’t loved him for a long ti, and only held on because she felt guilty about his leg injury.
He thought she was being callous, but hearing her today, he realized there was a hidden truth she had carried all those years.
"So you just left like that back then? Ji Wei, was I so untrustworthy to you?"
Leng Yan watched her tears spill relentlessly, unable to dry them, his heartache suffocating.
"Silly girl, how could I possibly despise you? You suffered because of ; I felt heartbroken for you, too late to despise you. Why didn’t you tell ? We should have reported that scoundrel!"
"Do you rember those reports back then about the criminal and urging victims to testify?" Sobbing quietly in Leng Yan’s arms, Ji Wei recalled the past. Her fingers clenched tight, her body still trembling:
"That person was a notorious thug in society. No one dared to testify against him, and neither did I. Besides, I overheard a conversation between you and your mother once, saying the president of the Leng Family was your father, which terrified even more. I was afraid it would affect your reputation. If you married , people might criticize you. The Leng Family is a prestigious family, after all. If they accepted a daughter-in-law like , they would think I was a burden to you."
