Liang Feifan looked at her with a burning gaze. He saw all of her sadness, unwillingness, and pain. He knew her too well, so it wasn't hard for him to guess what she was thinking.
Love was one of the most difficult things to hide in one's life.
And the most painful thing for him was that they were clearly in love, but they had to part in such a tragic way.
He lowered his eyes. After a moment, he looked up again and stared at her. His deep eyes were filled with pain. When he opened his mouth to speak, his tone was gentle. "I'm sorry, Bai Lu. I owe you too much. I know that saying sorry doesn't hurt at all. When I proposed to you, I said that I wouldn't let you cry again. But now, you're not only crying in front of me, you're bleeding. I didn't do well enough. I'm such a failure. I never thought that one day, we would have to hurt each other in such a violent way. I should have known that I can't have my cake and eat it too. I admit that I really have no choice. I left the Liang Clan and Family Liang alone. I have too much responsibility on my shoulders. But at the same time, I don't have the right to ask you to bear the burden with me … "
"But Bai Lu, I love you. You have to believe me."
"… I can't really bear to let you go. If it's possible, I've thought about it. No matter what method I use, I want to keep you by my side. I'm willing to use the rest of my life to heal your pain."
"… But now, I can't watch you hurt yourself like this, so I'm willing to take a step back."
…
Liang Feifan bent over and reached out to pick up the jacket on the sofa. He didn't put it on. His shirt was unbuttoned halfway, and the hem of his shirt fell out of his trousers. He looked a little disheveled. He turned around and walked out of the bedroom without taking another look at Bai Lu.
It wasn't until the bedroom door closed that Bai Lu seemed to collapse. The glass shards in her hands fell to the floor with a clatter. She collapsed weakly onto the sofa and moved her injured hand. Looking at her bloody palm, she laughed hysterically.
She used such a violent method in exchange for her freedom, but … she still felt pain. There wasn't a single part of her body that didn't hurt.
…
Extraordinary, extraordinary …
She repeated this name in her heart, over and over again, over and over again, letting these two words be deeply imprinted in her heart.
It wasn't that she didn't love him and wanted to leave. It was because she loved him too much and cared for him too much. She couldn't tolerate any more, so she wanted to leave.
The more she loved him, the sadder she felt …
This time, Liang Feifan didn't go back on his word. Bai Lu cleaned up her injuries in the room. There was a first aid kit in the room, so she simply bandaged her wounds and changed into a new set of clothes. When she went downstairs, she realized that many people had already left.
There was only one person who looked like a housekeeper standing in the living room. Bai Lu had lived here for three days and never interacted with these people, so she didn't know who this person was. But every time something happened, he was the one who took the initiative to talk to her, so she guessed that this person was the housekeeper.
It was a middle-aged man who wasn't British. From his accent, Bai Lu deduced that he was from City A. The man stepped forward and bowed respectfully to her. Then he said, "Madam, Sir asked me to wait for you here. He asked me to pass you the phone."
Bai Lu couldn't be bothered to correct the way he addressed her. She nodded and took the phone. When she realized that the battery was fully charged, she turned to leave without saying a word. However, the housekeeper suddenly stepped forward and stopped her. "Madam, it's very late now. It's not convenient for you to go out like this. Why don't you let me know where you want to go? I'll get the chauffeur to send you there."
"No need."
Bai Lu shook her head. She didn't stop walking and directly walked out of the main entrance.
The housekeeper wanted to chase after her, but Bai Lu paused at the doorway. When she heard footsteps, she frowned in annoyance and said in a hoarse voice, "Didn't Liang Feifan tell you? We don't need your chauffeur! "
"…" …
Bai Lu took the phone and walked out of the unfamiliar residence. There was a road outside the door. Indeed, it was very late, so there was basically no one on the road. She walked alone on the road, looking down at her toes. Step by step, it felt like this road had no end.
Actually, she wasn't sure where she should go. She didn't want to go to school anymore. She had a feeling that Liang Feifan was familiar with that place. If she continued to stay there, it would be equivalent to staying right under his nose. But where could she go to completely cut off all ties with him?
Bai Lu touched her phone and thought of her mother in City A.
In this world, she was her only remaining relative. It made her feel even more lonely and helpless. However, if she wanted to leave, she wanted to take her mother with her. Deep down, she knew very well that wherever she went, she would still be right under Liang Feifan's nose. But at the same time, she also knew that she didn't need to worry that he would come looking for her.
…
The scene just now had completely cut off all ties between them. She wasn't willing to back down, so he wouldn't cross this threshold again.
Because he knew his own personality very well. If he forced her again, she would definitely do something that would put both the fish in the net and the fish in the fish in the net.
…
Not far behind them, a black car was hidden in the darkness. The car's headlights flashed, appearing abrupt in the dark. The driver in front glanced at the man in the back seat through the rearview mirror. The cigarette between his long fingers had already burned to the end, but he didn't seem to notice. His heavy eyes were obviously bloodshot as he stared unblinkingly at the faintly discernible figure in front of him.
It was as if he was looking at his entire world. Anyone who saw the forbearance in his eyes would feel heartache.
The driver was silent for a moment before he said, "Mr. Liang, do you want me to follow?"
"There's no need."
The cigarette between his fingers burned his fingers. Liang Feifan's arm trembled. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the cigarette that had burned to the end. Then he pushed open the car door and got out. He threw the cigarette butt to one side and calmly instructed the driver, "Drive the car away. I'll go back on my own."
…
Bai Lu walked aimlessly on the quiet road. There were lights by the side of the road, so the sound of her footsteps was very long. She held her phone and kept calculating the time. It should be afternoon in City A right now, right? Could she give Chu Weiye a call?
In City A, she couldn't find a second person who could help her. She didn't want to go back to City A, nor did she want to stay in England. She couldn't stay in SGA, where she was exceptionally serious in every class. She also didn't want to look for Buck, who was Liang Feifan's friend. She knew that everything she did was in vain, but at least this kind of perseverance made her feel a little better.
But she was still hesitant about calling him. Should she call him?
Looking for Chu Weiye for help was equivalent to seeking refuge with Chu Weiye. He already had feelings for her, but she had rejected him before. Now, she turned around and looked for him again …
Bai Lu bit her lip. In the end, she still couldn't do that. She was selfish and disgusted with her own actions.
The phone screen lit up and turned black, then turned black and then lit up again. In the end, she put it back into her pocket.
She didn't make the call. Instead, she chose to go back to her old home, pack her things, and personally go back to City A to see her mother.
…
Bai Lu walked forward alone. She never knew how to turn around. She also didn't know that when she turned around, she would actually be able to see that not far away, there was a similarly long shadow under the streetlights. He was also walking alone on this small road.
The only difference was that the person behind only had eyes for the person in front of him. He walked forward with her.
This world is so big. I'm really afraid that if I turn around, I won't be able to find you. I promised you that I wouldn't follow you anymore, but I still haven't promised myself.
…
Bai Lu wasn't very familiar with the roads in England, especially this place. She had never been here before. It was late at night, and there wasn't a single car. After walking for a while, she felt tired. Looking at the time, she saw that it was almost dawn. Did she have to wait here until dawn to look for a car?
That feeling of loneliness was like a ferocious tide. It came crashing over wave after wave. Some of the suppressed emotions were even more obvious because of the helplessness …
She had finally reached this step. That was probably what she had been yearning for the past few days. She wanted to walk out of that house without taking anything with her. Then, she could freely arrange her future path. But now that she had really reached this step, why was she still upset? She was so upset that she wanted to cry.
That name that was deeply engraved in her heart couldn't escape from her lips because she knew that she would lose control every time she said it, just like now …
Feifan, Liang Feifan …
Bai Lu's eyes stung. She couldn't hold back her tears, and they slid down her cheeks. She stopped in her tracks and stood still.
…
The figure in front of her suddenly stopped. Liang Feifan, who was following behind, also stopped in his tracks. He hurriedly ducked to the side. Fortunately, there were many French parasol trees planted on the road. The thick trunks of the trees were just enough to hide the man's body.
Liang Feifan stood to the side for a while before carefully peeking out his forehead. He saw that Bai Lu was already squatting by the side of the road. Her hands were tightly gripping the steps by her feet. Her eyes were lowered, and he couldn't tell what she was thinking.
In fact, there was a distance of almost 100 meters between them. In addition to the time, there was a thin layer of fog in the air. However, Liang Feifan could clearly feel that the woman squatting there was shrouded in a deep sadness.
Was she sad?
She was sad, too. He had clearly seen her tears earlier. When he recalled how she had cried herself hoarse, his heart ached.
He wanted so badly to go forward and reach out to hold her in his arms, but it was like the soles of his feet were nailed. He couldn't move.
For the first time in his life, Liang Feifan also felt that it was so difficult to take one step forward, just one step.
I'm sorry …
