Chapter 759. If You'll Marry Me, I'll Marry You! (2)
When she said this, Ji Zitong’s eyes begin to contain some warmth as she sighed and lamented, “At first, I thought that I joined the amry for him too, but afterwards I realized that I had done it for myself. So, I never felt any heartache or suffocation because of this unfortunate relationship. I only felt a little regretful. After all, I did invest in it too.”
This was the first time that Ji Zitong had talked about her relationship with Dong Wentao in front of someone else.
“He and I never had the kind of love that went all in to sacrifice for the other. Both of us held back, and my bottom line was just right there. I kept reminding myself that I could only give so much and had nothing more to give. A relationship should go both ways. There aren’t many people who can go through the suffering of one-sided sacrifices, and not receive the same in return. At least, I’m not that kind of person.”
Ji Zitong’s tone was calm, yet you could hear some bitterness in her words. “Not everyone woman who foolishly loves will be able to get happiness in the end. When the damage is done, leave some energy to love yourself. Instructor Su, I have to admit that what you’d said back then was right, love is a petty thing. That’s why it’s easier to lose it. He and I also didn’t love each other as deeply as we thought we did.”
“You need to be more clever about meeting those kinds of people. The reason I didn’t let you out back then was that I’d previously seen him and that woman appear together at my grandfather’s birthday banquet. While you know back then, it was a critical time in the training. A cadet’s emotional state was very important,” Su Chen explained for the first time about the unhappy incident too.
Ji Zitong nodded before she said a little desolately, “No matter what, I actually have to thank you, whether for what it was back then or just earlier, and I’d like to apologize for my attitude from before.”
“How rare of you to have such self-awareness, but I permit you to not apologize to me as long as you see the truth for what it is,” Su Chen said rather magnanimously. However, he had always been like that. He would never really be calculative with a woman, what more need a woman to apologize to him. If Ji Zitong had not gone way too overboard back then, he would not have fussed with her.
Ji Zitong turned to look at him, yet she realized that he was focused on the dark road ahead. He held the steering wheel steadily and did not continue talking.
After a while, the car passed through the dark alley and drove towards the flat and wide main road ahead. After they made a huge turn, they finally reached a rather new and clean building.
