Chapter 223.2 - Big marriage next month

“That … okay.” Lan Bai saw that Lou Qingwu’s emotions were a mess so she didn’t want to disturb her any more.

She could only leave first.

Until the middle of the night, Lou Qingwu was still restless in bed, she couldn’t fall asleep.

Her mind was a mess, her heart was uneasy.

She was scared that in anger, her senior brother would just leave without a farewell …

At least, a small voice in her heart said, at least … bid her farewell before leaving.

But this had already happened so she didn’t want Feng Yege to be heartbroken again.

She’d even started to hate this part of herself.

Always so lingering, unable to detach herself, not cold enough … and, she even had a small flash of regret.

But she didn’t know how much longer, when she had suddenly fallen asleep.

Then she suddenly jolted awake.

When her eyes flew open, there was a figure standing by her bed.

Her heart started racing as she immediately sat up.

But maybe because they were too close, her nose first picked up a familiar medicinal smell as her heart suddenly heart.

She lowered her eyes and after a long time, so long that she thought the person standing by her bed would stand there for the whole night, she closed her eyes.

Her voice was hoarse, “I’m sorry …”

“Do your words from back then, still count?” After a long time of not speaking, Feng Yege’s voice was even more hoarse than hers.

“What?” Lou Qingwu froze as she looked at him.

Feng Yege’s eyes in the darkness seemed even more dark, Lou Qingwu couldn’t see his expression.

She only felt like his heartbreak and sorrow was so visible that it hurt her.

“Eight years ago, when my father passed, you appeared by my side. You said that even if everyone left me, you would still stay by my side, you wouldn’t let me be alone. Does that still count?”

“...” A bang suddenly sounded in Lou Qingwu’s head.

After a long time, she could only laugh bitterly.

“When I was only six years old? How could you treat that as for real? It’s only a child’s harmless words.”

Lou Qingwu’s words fell and Feng Yege was silent for a long time.

Until Lou Qingwu couldn’t bear the silence and heavy atmosphere any more, did Feng Yege gently speak words that made her throat tighten up, “But … I treated it as real.”

It was only a pity, that from the start to the end, he was the only person who was sinking.

“I thought too much …”

He left that phrase before quickly turning around and leaving, disappearing from Lou Qingwu’s eyes.

When she finally couldn’t see his silhouette any more, Lou Qingwu buried her head between her knees.

A bitter smile grew on her mouth as her heart hurt, it felt so empty.

For the rest of the night, her mind was still jumbled and she couldn’t sleep.

So she lit a candle and walked towards her bedside.

Tonight’s events were clearly within her plans, but it still didn’t feel real, as if things had changed.

When she walked to the window and her fingers fell on the black box there, her fingers wiped the dust clean as she stroked it.

Under the candlelight, the box looked like it was made of glass.

But at this moment, Lou Qingwu’s eyes were blank as she lightly opened the golden clasp and looked at the small pieces of clothing inside.

Light slowly entered her eyes as she looked at them gently.

The love in her eyes was gentle, as if she wasn’t looking at an inanimate object, but something very precious in her heart.

She picked up a small piece of clothing and held it by her heart, as if this was the only way her heart wouldn’t hurt as much anymore.
