"Later on, I tried to rebel against my grandfather. I tried all sorts of methods, jumping off a building, going on a hunger strike, running away from home … I tried everything, but it was all useless. My grandfather didn't fall for my tricks at all …
"Back then, I really felt despair. For some inexplicable reason, I had a fiancée. It was embarrassing and infuriating. That led to the scene where I called you to our backyard and spat so many harsh words at you …
"How should I put this? I really didn't know that the two of us would end up like this. If I had known that things would end up like this, I would have never said so many harsh words to you … If time could be reversed, if the heavens were to give me another chance, if I could really return to that autumn, if I were to return to my grandfather's study when I returned home, and he pointed to you and said, 'Jiage, this is your fiancée, Shi Yao,' I would have replied with, 'Nice to meet you, Shi Yao. It's our first time meeting, and I look forward to meeting you."
In the beginning, he really didn't think that he would like her.
Later on, he really didn't think that he would like her so much.
So, in this world, there really was medicine for regret, or a time machine. If he could really go back to the day he first met her, he would definitely not vent his frustrations on her after his grandfather forced him to do it.
But it was a pity that this was just his expectations. There was no medicine for regret, and there was no way he could return to the past. Even if he didn't like her now, those words he said when they were young were still too much, and he should apologize for them.
After all, in this marriage, he was just like her, a victim.
Ever since the day she moved into his house a month ago, he had learned that she was still brooding over those past events, and he had been thinking about how he could salvage the situation.
His heartless words were as sharp as swords, perhaps even sharper than swords.
Even a cut made by a sword would leave a scar, not to mention, what he had left behind was a wound in her heart.
After much thought, he felt that the best way to salvage the situation was to sincerely apologize to her.
After all, a mistake was a mistake. Even if he tried to cover it up, he wouldn't be able to change the fact that he was wrong. Rather than cowering in fear, he might as well openly admit his mistake.
Besides, there was a saying that went, 'whoever tied the bell should untie it'. He was the one who tied the knot, so naturally, he had to undo it himself …
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage apologized once more, "Yaoyao, I'm really sorry."
"Although I didn't mean to hurt you, I still hurt you. I admit to my mistake …"
Never in Shi Yao's wildest dreams could she have imagined that Lin Jiage would apologize to her because of the past.
Did she mind what he had said? Of course she minded. It was so hurtful to her self-esteem that when she was young, she would often feel a little inferior whenever she thought of what he said. In fact, because of how he called her a silly girl, she would even eat sesame, black beans, and black rice for a long time … just to make her hair look less malnourished.
Resentment? Of course it was resentment. No girl could remain indifferent after being ridiculed by a boy, right?
Shi Yao had always thought that she would hold a grudge against him until the very end, but after hearing Lin Jiage's apology, she realized that those grudges and grudges weren't as indestructible as she had thought them to be.
