Chapter 1164. Giving Flowers (1)
Qi Lei got up and took a glance at Xi Xiaye with a gaze that looked so gentle yet complicated.
Although Qi Lei and Xi Xiaye shared similar experiences, Xi Xiaye might not be able to connect with his true self. Even though he appeared cheeky all the time, he kept a lot of secrets to himself.
Xi Xiaye never really thought about that. She did not want to find out too much about him due to some other reasons as well, but there was also the relationship between Qi Lei, Mu Yuchen, and her, so…
Qi Lei chuckled when he noticed the complicated glance Xi Xiaye shot him. “I’ve told you about it before, and I’m sure you understand it as well. Speaking up about it can make you feel better at times, so take responsibility for your feelings. You don’t have to feel pressured. We’re still good friends. Mu Yuchen is a great man and you deserve him, but at times, I’ll be here when you need me.”
He seemed different than before, and his eyes seemed genuine.
“Some relationships aren’t meant to be possessed but to be treated as faith. I want to live my life in peace. I want to find someone to live this life with, just like Mu Yuchen and you. I thought I’d be able to live however I want if I don’t care too much, but…I started feeling like this ever since I met you. Sadly, the person you chose wasn’t me, and you’re not the right person for me as well.”
“I’m just a normal woman. I’m not as good as you think. I—”
“It doesn’t matter if you think you’re good or not. It’s enough as long as the other person thinks that you are,” Qi Lei interrupted Xi Xiaye before she could end her sentence, “Xiaye, sometimes I truly hope that we could’ve met each other earlier. Mu Yuchen was just a little faster, so he won the jackpot.”
“Everyone has a dark side they don’t want to show anyone. He might not be the real winner in life. You might not understand what burden he has to bear on his back. Qi Lei, you’ll be able to find a genuine relationship, so don’t reject it when it comes to you. Happiness requires you to discover new things on your own.”
