Chapter 95: Shameless
“All the encounters in this world are just reunions after a long separation.”
Xu Qing caught a faint whiff of the fragrance beside him. It was coming from Jiang He—a fresh scent of body wash and shampoo, mixed with something warm and pleasant.
“All the people you meet and the things you experience are what you’re meant to encounter. It was all destined long ago. This day, this moment, this scene—all of it is the result of your past actions, or influenced by your personality...
When you came here, the first person you saw wasn’t me. Before me, you went out for a walk, lingered in the stairwell for a while, and even ran into Aunt Cheng on her way home. But ultimately, we still met, lived together, and shared meals—that’s fate.”
He raised his hand, trying to touch Jiang He’s long hair that draped behind her. Instead, his hand landed gently on the back of her hand.
“This has everything to do with our past experiences. If I were a cold-hearted person, a stubbornly honest man, or a cheeky little punk, it would’ve led to a different outcome. Us being here now is the culmination of countless small events. If we could go back to that stormy day, when I first met you, saying, ‘Finally, you’re here,’ wouldn’t feel out of place at all.”
Jiang He carefully recalled that day. “I just asked you... if I were a helpless girl with no strength to fight...”
“Things would be completely different,” Xu Qing replied.
