"I understand, you don’t want us to bear these things because you feel that the Soul Stabilizing Needle within you might act up at any time, and your actions might be discovered by Xia Ji at any moment, causing harm to me and Xiao Xue beyond your control. Su Yu, you’ve always wanted to keep everything within the scope of what you can control—"

At this point, Han Jing’s voice finally carried a trace of emotion.

Su Yu’s eyes also finally carried a hint of panic and helplessness, he even opened his mouth, trying to explain to her, but not a word could come out.

She’s not wrong, for a long time, he had been using his own way, trying to keep everything within the scope of what he could control, making sure everything could be resolved within the scope he could manage, not wanting her to suffer the slightest harm.

He was protecting them in his own way, yet he overlooked that she was ultimately too intelligent.

"You’ve thought of and calculated everything. Have you ever thought, I really do like you? Su Yu, do you know, I really do like you."

Su Yu gently pulled her arm, trying to pull her into his embrace, but her fingers pressed against his chest.

Clearly, her confession was so sincere, but why was he so flustered?

"But I really don’t want to keep guessing your thoughts anymore. From the beginning, I’ve been guessing and guessing, and in the end, I’m still guessing and guessing. You never told me what you were going to do, I could only keep guessing. Su Yu, how long have we known each other, six years, right? Tell me, in your eyes, am I just a fool who doesn’t understand or need to know anything?"

"Why do I have to guess every little thing instead of you telling me?"

"Su Yu, I don’t want to guess anymore. I’m very good at guessing people’s thoughts, but I don’t have this hobby."

"What you do is right. If it were me, I might not have done it as perfectly as you do, you even quietly protect us every moment, following us, you’re always there, but to me, you’re not here." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"I never intended to disrupt any of your plans, but I don’t want to guess your plans anymore."

"I know, you’ve put almost all your thoughts on Xiao Xue and me, you’re not wrong, but you overlooked one thing, love isn’t just about giving, it’s also about communication and sharing."

"You know my parents, right? My father loved my mother for so many years, but he never said it. He tried, but he never seriously communicated or explained his thoughts, including his intentions, to my mother. So what was the outcome? He suffered alone for over twenty years, and my mother was never happy. So what’s the use of love that’s so deep? What’s the point of love that can’t be shared? Just to see each other doing well? Yes, if everyone’s well, then why be together? Isn’t it better to be well apart?"

Han Jing said a lot in one breath, each sentence more urgent than the last, but in the end, she suddenly calmed down again.

She finally looked up, gazed into Su Yu’s eyes, looked at him very seriously, and then, word by word, said to him in a calm voice: "So Su Yu, I think we both might be wrong."
