Chapter 1525. Hope You Can Compromise 3
As Lan Xiu gazed at her in silence, her cold profile was still as calm and distant as always.
Indeed, she was someone who had experienced plenty of life and death. He might not understand that feeling, but he knew that she had been suffering all this time. She was also someone who had always struggled with life, thus she had stronger courage than he did.
After a while, Lan Xiu sat back and poured some water for her. “It’s great to know that you’re able to get over with it. How can you be blamed for this matter? So, don’t put pressure on yourself now that my brother’s soul might be waiting for its reincarnation already. If you still care…”
“He’s dead. Do you believe that souls or reincarnation are a thing?” Dongfang Liuyun withdrew her gaze unconcernedly and glanced at Lan Xiu, who was opposite her. She then reached out, picked up the glass, and took a gulp from it.
“If you believe that it exists, then it exists. Otherwise, it just doesn’t.”
“It’s just how the world finds a reason to comfort themselves, but I don’t need any of it. Plus, reminiscence doesn’t seem to carry much practical meaning. What can be done is to continue what he’s not accomplished to help him fulfill his last wish.” Dongfang Liuyun’s tone returned to its former indifference as she also calmed down.
“You have a very staunch sense of responsibility, Liuyun. It’s very tiring.” Lan Xiu looked at her, and it was not difficult to sense the distress and pity in his eyes. “I don’t think he’ll blame you if you really want to come back to him. You should know that he has always cared about you. I suppressed all the news after that incident, hoping that you could continue to live peacefully instead of being so depressed. Otherwise, what do you think is the reason for me doing all this?”
“You know, Fujiwara won’t give up that easily this time. The Fujiwara family have pressured him a little, or else, he’ll be asked to marry Nako Yamaguchi…”
“Who he’ll be marrying is none of my business. I just don’t want to see him again.”
