"Weiwei, I'm in so much pain right now. I'm torn between two emotions, and my heart is aching terribly." Jiang Xun held Song Shiwei's hand, his voice filled with sorrow.

He couldn't, and was unwilling to, speak up to keep his lover.

He slumped his head, burying his face in the water where their fingers were intertwined, his expression one of deep sorrow.

A few seconds later, Song Shiwei felt a warm, damp sensation gradually appear on her hands.

Song Shiwei's heart tightened suddenly. Were those Jiang Xun's tears?

She couldn't believe that Jiang Xun had actually cried in front of her.

Jiang Xun's pain seemed to be transmitted to Song Shiwei through his arm, and Song Shiwei's heart also became sad.

She knew why Jiang Xun was in pain, and at that moment she longed to hug him.

She thought it in her heart, and she did it.

Her body slowly pulled Jiang Xun into her arms, silently comforting him.

He couldn't make any promises to Jiang Xun Jiang Xun now, and this was the only way she could comfort him.

The room was silent. Jiang Xun and Song Shi held each other tightly. After a long while, Jiang Xun finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "How much longer?"

Song Shiwei's mind went blank for a moment, and she said in confusion, "What?"

"How much longer until you get back?" Jiang Xun asked again.

Song Shiwei took a deep breath and said, "I don't know yet. She said that as long as the system task is completed, we can meet again, and then I can tell her my decision on whether to go back or not."

System task completed?

Jiang Xun lowered his eyes, feeling even more desolate. The world had become unrecognizable, and there probably wasn't much time left before the mission was completed.

His time with Song Shiwei was running out.

But with so little time left, they still need to sleep, eat, and go to work, each busy with their own things. He doesn't even know how to take care of himself. How much longer do they have left to be alone together?

Perhaps the world will end when I wake up tomorrow morning, or perhaps it will take a long time for the system's tasks to be completed.

These things hung over Jiang Xun's head like a curse, and all the composure he had cultivated since childhood, the calmness that allowed him to remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, vanished into thin air.

All he wants now is to keep his lover.

"Will we ever see each other again?" Jiang Xun struggled with this question for a long time before finally asking it in a suicidal tone.

Song Shiwei:?

What did Jiang Xun mean by that? Did he want to go back by himself?

"Jiang Xun, do you want me to go back?" Song Shiwei asked, somewhat incredulously.

She was shocked that Jiang Xun had changed his mind in such a short time.

[Forcing Weiwei to stay in this world won't make her happy, so it's better to let her go back and give her her freedom. As long as Weiwei is happy, I'm happy.]

Love is about letting go, it's about letting go. Jiang Xun and the others just said they wanted Weiwei to be happy forever, so let's make her happy.

[I think I'll never get married again after Weiwei. Living a heartless and ruthless life on my own isn't so bad, actually.]

Song Shiwei:?

So that's what Jiang Xun was thinking. She choked back tears, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

How could Jiang Xun be so good!

She was so moved that she peed her eyes.

She's finding it even harder to decide now.

"Jiang Xun, I haven't made a decision yet. I still have things to finish in this world. You don't need to be so pessimistic. Maybe I'll just give up and not leave." Song Shiwei chuckled and said with a grin.

"Weiwei, I hope you can follow your heart," Jiang Xun said calmly.

"Your happiness is the most important thing. We all agree that your happiness is our happiness."

"Don't be so good to me, I really won't be able to bear leaving you." Song Shiwei's throat was a little dry, and her voice was choked with emotion.

Jiang Xun chuckled softly, gently stroking her hair with his other hand, and said calmly, "If that's the case, then that would be even better."

But then he quickly added, "Weiwei doesn't need to wrong herself for anyone. We all say we want you to be happy, and whatever decision you make, we all support you unconditionally."

Jiang Xun said this very seriously, and it also represented his and the Jiang Family's stance. This was the confidence the Jiang Family gave her.

They had only known each other for such a short time, yet they offered her unconditional support. This truly flattered Song Shiwei. She twitched her nose slightly and said, "Thank you, Jiang Xun."

"Thanks to your protection during this time, I, a stupid little good-for-nothing, have been able to live a life of idleness and complacency."

Jiang Xun smiled, his tone gentle and mellow, "No need. The Jiang Family is known for protecting its own. You're a Jiang Family, it's only right that we protect you."

Song Shiwei:...

I feel a little embarrassed.

"Jiang Xun, let's just move forward together and not think about anything else. We'll deal with things as they come."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Didn't Zhuxin say something profound? We should live in the present. As for the future, we'll deal with that later." Song Shiwei said earnestly, hugging Jiang Xun's face and uttering each word carefully.

Jiang Xun felt a sudden sense of clarity after hearing Song Shiwei's words. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's move forward bravely and live in the present."

The two exchanged a smile, and Jiang Xun finally revealed his true colors. Song Shiwei, seeing Jiang Xun's smile, also breathed a sigh of relief.

As Song Shiwei watched, she suddenly became distracted.

Jiang Xun was looking at her with that kind of gaze, and she really felt an urge to ruthlessly torment him.

She thought to herself, "Jiang Xun is so handsome, I really want to kiss him."

Hehehe, young master, let this great man give you a kiss, mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah.
