Chapter 362 - 360 The Persistent Girl (6th Update)
"Brother Lu, you are my forever hero, no matter what happens, I will never leave you. I’ll remember that you are always the hero who saved my life in my most dangerous moment, and I will wait for you..."
I still remember that when he moved away from the district, the girl’s ethereal yet resounding voice echoed in my ears, making Lu Tianxing unable to let go, unable to forget this tenacious girl.
It was when Lu Tianxing was lost in a myriad of thoughts that he suddenly felt a body with a slight tremble leaning against his own, a fragrant breeze assailing his nostrils, and his arm immediately enveloped by someone.
"Tingting."
Lu Tianxing was slightly startled and quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Yue Tingting buried her head in Lu Tianxing’s chest, clinging tightly, and murmured as if talking to herself, "Brother Lu, do you know? After you left, how much I missed you. Brother Lu, do you know? After you left, I tried to forget you, but I couldn’t. Every day when I close my eyes, I see your shadow in my mind."
"I remember how Brother Lu made me happy when I was sad, how you shared my happiness when I was cheerful. I remember you getting angry for me and taking me to buy clothes, taking care of me gently. You accompanied me to parties, the way you sang in front of me. Brother Lu, do you know? The past year has been the happiest time of my life because I was not alone or lonely with Brother Lu by my side."
"I don’t call Brother Lu because I don’t want you to think that I can’t do anything, that I’m just a burden. But today I realized, no matter how hard I try, I can never catch up with Brother Lu’s pace. Brother Lu, you’re like a true dragon that has soared from the shallows to the skies, while I’m just an ugly duckling on the ground that will never become a swan. I can only look up to your soaring figure in the sky, praying silently for you. I don’t care if Brother Lu you notice this ugly duckling, if you’ll stay for me, but I don’t mind these things. As long as Brother Lu is happy, that’s enough."
Yue Tingting’s voice was soft, echoing in the car, carrying an indescribable sadness and persistence, making one unable to resist wanting to protect and comfort her.
