Chapter 694: This is the Real Punishment
Reality gave him a harsh slap in the face!
He thought she had forgotten everything, that it was his chance to start anew, but it turned out to be a dead end, a dead end he had delivered himself to!
No, perhaps there’s still a chance for redemption!
"Yiliang, that is you!" There was a terrifying determination on his face, "Even if you’ve forgotten everything, you’re still you. The qualities I love about you are still there, unrelated to those memories!"
She hesitated for a moment but eventually gently pushed his hand away: "But I can’t do it, I’m sorry..."
His gaze was unusually bleak, yet still unwilling to give up: "I can tell you about every single thing from the past!"
"Even if I know, it’s useless." She smiled bitterly, "What difference does it make if I know? It would be like hearing a story. I can’t make the protagonist of that story myself. I hate this state too, to forget such important things, it’s as if my life is no longer complete. But, I have already forgotten."
Their feelings were always misaligned.
Yan Sijue was shaken to the core!
His gaze was filled with shock and pain, as if a tidal wave had risen in his eyes!
She suddenly lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Tomorrow... please go back, don’t stay by my side anymore. I won’t stop you from seeing Xiaoze, but please try not to let me see... just as you did before." She laughed at herself.
It was only later that she realized they must have had some contact in the past year.
He slowly reached out his hands, as if to salvage something, but ultimately could only grasp a handful of air.
Mu Yiliang slowly put on her clothes, then looked at him, her eyes filled with deep bitterness and helplessness.
"Yan Sijue, being loved by you must be the happiest thing in the world, but... I don’t have that luck."
"No!" He hugged her tightly, pressing her against him, his voice terribly hoarse, "Yiliang! Let’s start over, I can forget everything too! I will wait for you, wait for you to fall in love with me again!"
Mu Yiliang felt as if her heart was entangled by countless fine threads, each one bringing pain.
His gaze was so deep and despairing.
She finally shook her head gently, then softly pushed him away.
"I’m sorry... and, take care."
With that, she turned the knob of the bedroom door and walked out without looking back.
Yan Sijue watched her back, his eyes filled with desolation.
So this was the real punishment.
Everything he had done to her, he always thought the punishment waiting for him would be her remembering everything, but whether she could or couldn’t recall the past, it was a death trap for him.
It felt like all hope and strength had been drained away.
It was his own doing.
He gently closed his eyes, his smile filled with bleakness.
**********
Mu Yiliang returned to her home and closed the door.
She didn’t turn on the light, her rapid breathing becoming more apparent in the darkness.
Her face also felt wet.
She subconsciously touched it with her hand, only to find that her face was already covered with tears.
Why did she feel such pain, as if a part of her heart had been gouged out... She only had a slight feeling for him, didn’t she?
But why did it hurt so much, hurting so much she wished she could die!
She leaned against the door, slowly sliding down to the ground.
It turned out she was wrong, it was too late, she had already fallen in love with him.
No, it should be said that her love for him had never disappeared...
