Shen Heyu, what did you just say? Could I have heard wrong?" Lu Yi's voice trembled as he turned his head, looking at Shen Heyu in disbelief, thinking he must have suffered a hallucination.
Shen Heyu knew Lu Yi would find it hard to accept her choice, but their current situation left them with no room to choose.
"I'm sorry," Shen Heyu apologized to Lu Yi.
"No! You haven't wronged me. You've wronged yourself. You struggled so hard to leave him; why would you easily go back to his side now? It was my mistake; I shouldn't have hit him in a moment of impulse."
"I am the one who did wrong. Let me bear the consequences, please? Promise me you won't go back, okay?"
Lu Yi's hand, shaky and unsteady, lifted in an attempt to grasp Shen Heyu's shoulder, trying to read the expression on her face. But before he could touch her, Pei Yansi had grabbed his wrist.
"Didn't you hear what he just said? He said he's coming back with me." Pei Yansi forcefully shook off Lu Yi's hand.
