The two of them sat in silence for a long time. Wu Hao did not turn his head to look at Xu Wennuan. Instead, he stared at the night view in front of him and, as if he had been deep in thought, he suddenly asked, "Nuannuan, is there really no hope for us to start over?"
When Xu Wennuan heard his voice, her pitch-black eyes moved slightly. She did not know if it was because of the wind or because she had been staring at the same spot for too long, but her eyes were slightly sore.
She was not in a hurry to answer Wu Hao's question. She looked like she was thinking about it seriously. After a long time, she opened her mouth and replied in a surprisingly calm voice, "Wu Hao, deep down, you know that we are no longer who we used to be."
Wu Hao lowered his eyes and nodded his head with a solemn expression. "Yes, we are no longer who we used to be."
Therefore, Wu Hao and Xu Wennuan had no hope of starting over.
At this thought, Wu Hao's eyes turned sour. He was quiet for a few seconds before he said, "Nuannuan, I used to love you."
Now, she no longer loved him. There was someone else she loved more in her heart.
However, when she heard these words from Wu Hao's mouth, Xu Wennuan's eyes still ached. She suppressed her emotions and nodded her head gently. She sighed and said, "I know that you used to love me, just like I know very well that I used to love you too."
"But it was only love. Although you were the cause of my kidnapping, I'm still very grateful to you for saving me. However, that was only gratitude. That gratitude was not enough for us to go back to how we used to be."
Wu Hao felt as if something was stuck in his throat. It was bitter and sour.
He had loved her, and she had loved him. Both of them had loved each other with all their hearts. They had been poor, but they had been very happy. They could have been happy until the end, but later on, both of them had changed, and that love and happiness had disappeared with the wind.
Today, they still remained in each other's hearts, but they could no longer love each other again because they had been separated on the path of life. They had gone far away and could never return.
She had been his youth, and he had been hers, but their love had been cut short in that beautiful but cruel youth.
They had loved each other, but they had not truly loved each other.
The difference of a single word was like the difference between heaven and earth.
This feeling could be recalled later, but at that time, it was already too late.
Wu Hao was silent for a while before he finally said, "Nuan Nuan, can I ask you a question?"
"Ask away," Xu Wennuan said.
"Nuan Nuan …" Wu Hao paused. After a while, he continued, "… Do you have someone you love?"
Xu Wennuan had not expected him to suddenly ask her such a question, and she was slightly stunned.
Wu Hao didn't wait for her to speak and asked, "Is that person Lu Bancheng?"
Wu Hao's words had hit the nail on the head, and Xu Wennuan, who had just regained her composure, was stunned again.
This time, Wu Hao did not speak again. Aside from the sound of the wind, there was no other sound on the rooftop. Xu Wennuan quietly stared at the thousands of lights in front of her for a while. Without any attempt to hide anything, she answered Wu Hao honestly, "Yes."
After a pause, she added, "I fell in love with him."
As if she was afraid that he could not hear her, she emphasized for the third time, "I'm in love with Lu Bancheng."
